Finally tried the WARUNK UPNORMAL branch in Gading Serpong! Been while since I ventured this area since I don't go to UMN anymore lol

 Ambience wise it is a cool spot for hangout, caters well with university students who are in a tight budget and would like to gather together with their friends for an amount of time. So you can imagine it is a great place, but very noisy. The AC unfortunately didn't work when I was visiting there, so it was quite hot inside. 

Anyways, tried the Indomie Saos Telor Asin and it was just so so, it unfortunately doesn't live up to the place's hype. The Sambal Matah Indomie was also just spicy. They don't give you that distinct Balinese flavour and smell. 

It's quite a bummer that the place doesn't live up to the hype, maybe next time I'll try other stuff and we'll see from there. 

Jujur agak skeptic pas ngedenger bakal ada coffee shop lagi yang buka di Kelapa Gading. Turns out I am right.

Tempatnya cukup besar, ada smoking and non smoking room. Konsep toko sendiri super mix and match banget, a renge of minimalism, rustic, vintage sama a touch of feminine side.

Untuk coffee, consistency mereka masih super kurang, dengan gw dan temen" gw pesen 3 minuman yang sama (Cappuccino), tapi rasany bisa beda", yang satu too milky, yang satu too much foam, yang satu just right.

Cobain Taro Lattenye cukup decent buat yang ga suka kopi

Lychee Ice Teanya juga cukup fresh buat kalo lagi panas".

So much more improvements need to be made. 

Tried this hip and happening place in Serpong, a straight competitor from the mighty F&C, O! Fish serves several kinds of fish, with two cooking methods - grilled or fried.

I can safely say that here you're given a choice of fish, which is an interesting one. The waiter kindly explained to me which ones are the best fish for which cooking method. 

So I tried the Cobia fish, Fried with French Fries on the side. 
A friend of mine also ordered "Sambal Matah" Dory Grilled Fish as her choice.

So here it comes, tried the Fish & Chips. I can say that although the texture of the food is great, I can barely taste the seasoning. 

The dish itself was quite bland, and all I enjoyed from this dish is the fresh salad with amazing seasoning (truly one of the best salad I have ever tasted, but fish wise, meh). Fries wasn't seasoned also so it was quite a bummer.

The Sambal Matah Grilled Dory is just spicy. You can't taste and smell that disticint smell that the Sambal Matah usually oozes. 

Although O! Fish is a fraction of the price compared to F&C, I can safely say that I enjoyed F&C more than O! Fish. You guys seriously need to step up your seasoning. 

I have to say that I had high hopes for Jjigae House since it is on the rage these days. Everybody's talking about Jjigae House so I decided to try it on the first day of 2016 :D 

Even at the 1st of January, the place is packed with people. Thank God me and my friends arrived in time to secure a seat. 

So Jjigae House here has two main dishes, a Korean Style Shabu Shabu, and Korean Galbi. 

Since I am not that into soup that day, I ordered their Galbi Dish. It basically consists of Stir Fried Chicken with a choice of Ramyeon or Rice as the carbs. You can also add additional toppings such as spam, cheese, and many more. 

I have to say that the combination of Cheese and Spam won the whole dish, the galbi tasted amazing with those additional toppings. 

I was quite disappointed though since I am an avid Korean Cuisine fan, I couldn't taste that authentic korean sauce mix, I don't know if it is too bland, or the taste got overwhelmed by the spam and cheese toppings.

I was quite surprised when the bill came out that we each (by we meaning 3 people) have to take out about 100k, for a mediocre meal. I thought it was waaayy cheaper than that. 

Oh anyways maybe I ordered the wrong combination but certainly eating at jjigae with a combination of chicken meat, noodles, spam and cheese was quite expensive. I didn't even have beef :( 

Currently thinking twice to go back there again.
