Amongst so many coffee shop which took this kind of industrial themed that serves brunch concept is MONOLOG. Specifically this street gallery branch stood out as one of the finest. Located in pondok indah mall, our favorite mall as the people in south jakarta area, you'd find several kinds of crowds at different days, with varying ambience as well. But please note that this place was mostly noisy with all the crowds and music. I could say that MONOLOG served really good brunch menus with a huge portion. The same also goes with the non brunch menus. While this may be a con for some, on a brighter side, you can share a plate for two. The price was a little bit on the higher side, but the food tastes was actually pretty good so I went here for the third times on april 2016 although just by myself wkwk

Came to this place for an afternoon tea with my friends on april 2016, LEWIS & CARROLL is located at the building called Bumi Four at jalan bumi, south jakarta area. As we entered this tea house, we already surprised with their great interior. The place of this cafe is somewhat super relaxing, and we had a very nice afternoon tea experience.  As we sat, the staff came to us with many kinds of dry tea leafs for us to picked, their tea was ranging from signature, heritage, and legacy. The price of the tea was affordable and depends on what class of tea that you pick. This place was also offers foods, and we want come back to try their foods

This was the second time visited this place with my friends on april 2016 after had an afternoon tea at Lewis & Carroll Tea. For us, the taste of this fried rice was still the best in south jakarta area. The portion was also abundant, and the most important that the taste was delicious but pocket friendly for your budget. The only problem of this place was crowded almost all of the time. Especially on weekend, but you don't have to worry, because the owner keeps all of the order by listing in a note. So that made us to wait in a line. Because of that, you just have to wait until your plate arrive in your table

COLONIAL offers molecular gastronomy food experiences with a reasonable price. It may not budget friendly but if you want to experience molecular gastronomy cooking, with at least reasonable price, this is a must visit place. That day was my first time visited with the og hits seeker on march 2016 to gave a surprise party for abi. Because abi wanted to celebrate his birthday at this place. For the foods were all tastes good and yummy. Most importantly this restaurant service was really great. Friendly and informative staffs, moreover their staffs gave a birthday song for abi when he entered this restaurant so that was really helped us to made this surprise party more alive

This certainly wasn't a cheap restaurant but it's price did meet it's quality so I chose this place to had a tea time on march 2016. Actually that was my third time came to this pondok indah branch and for this third time I only ate a dessert. Honestly I never go to UNION at plaza senayan meanwhile it's their first outlet haha...First, I loved UNION because I didn't feel like I'm wasting my money. The place was also comfortable although it was on weekday, but it could get pretty crowded at that times. Other than that, their food tastes were great especially the red velvet cake! Almost any kind of food you order will probably taste delicious and they gave you an insanely generous amount of portion


Hidden spot at pacific place, located at the 2nd floor, inside galeries lafayette. I visited here on february 2016 to had a dinner so I thought this was a humble french restaurant with a dim lighting for dinner. LIBERTE was also had a romantic ambience. First of all it looked small at the front, but it was actually big and pretty spacious inside, the interior was also very comfortable, the waiters were all nice and we can ate here, while looking at lots of jakarta’s skyscraper around SCBD area. But don't get me wrong, the price was not humble at all (but it was still reasonable), because the taste of the food was delicious

Glad to know that we have such a good place to enjoy a great coffee in my neighborhood, because this coffee shop is located in bintaro area. So I went here with my friends on february 2016. This place was really great, they had so much spot to took a photo, although it was a bit small. The coffee and not coffee menu itself was good and not overpriced
