1. Gelato with 100% natural concept. Eat gelato without feeling guilty with what you eat.
2. I was at first skeptical to eat the gelato here, because in Bali it was just meh. But I guess that was because I chose the wrong flavour! The best flavour goes to pannacotta if you love your gelato sweet without being overly sweet and passion fruit with a level of sourness that is just right. Klepon is also interesting, has a coconut taste with a brown sugar flavour that is not overdone. Beautiful.
3. Several branches across Jakarta.
4. Usually have a cute interior.

1. Quite pricey for gelato, and while it is good the price tag is still too steep compared to the quality.
2. The place is small, only has 4 tables.
3. Few flavours, and some flavours that is not too great. I still stand by my opinion, I think the chocolate gelato tastes like store-bought ice cream. Not impressive. Pistachio tastes good initially with an after taste that is not too good. Green tea was rather forgetable and the taste was too light, the green tea flavour was not there.

1. The staff are friendly and even though it seems they are understaffed, they manage to provide great service.
2. The ambience of the restaurant is lovely.
3. The sukiyaki striploin was the best dish during my visit there. Broth was flavourful and portion was quite generous. Would be better with more noodles though. Only downside is the broth becomes cold after a while, would be great if they could keep it warmer just a bit longer. Also the minimum order is two portion so come with a friend, or alone but super hungry.
4. The chawan mushi was good and had a stronger flavour profile compared to the chawan mushi I've had before (which is good). The saba shio deserves a shoutout, it was simple yet the taste was quite beautiful although the downside is it was quite pricey. Miyagi chicken soup has a very strong chicken taste and tasted great, but is not the reason I will visit again.

1. The sushi was very bland. Maybe it was the rice. Maybe it was the freshness of the fish which was average. The sushi here is not my cup of tea. Dynamite roll was decent, but if I come back here I won't order it again. Inari spicy tuna was good, but not great. Salmon maki freshness was okay. It's not bad, but it's not the greatest thing ever. I would prefer to order sushi elsewhere.
2. Just a kind suggestion to the management, when it is Ramadhan would be great if you give free ta'jil. It doesn't have to be anything fancy just something sweet to break the fast, could be a simple pudding or small sweet drink. A lot of fast food joints do this, so it is a bit peculiar if a good restaurant like Miyagi does not do this. I believe it has become a common courtesy. Yes, there is a free ta'jil for bento meal, but not everyone is going to order the bento meal. We can also order sweet snacks ourselves but in terms of customer experience it feels different if we have to order it. Hopefully you'd take this into consideration :) thank you.

1. The prata is best served warm. So as soon as it is cooked, better enjoy it. The bread is crunchy on the outside but also quite chewy (in a nice way) and still remain quite soft. Will definitely come back because of the prata.
2. The chicken bolognese has a certain sweetness which went quite well with the prata. Though the filling could be more generous. 😉
3. Serving time was fast.

1. Limited seating area, but I finished this about 5 minutes as it was cooked so I probably do not even need to sit.
2. I know this is a chicken sandwich place, but would be interesting to see a beef bolognaise version. A dish inspired by banh mi would be nice too: chicken, pickled carrot and coriander. A fusion of dish. Just an idea!
3. The Nyonya Spicy Chicken sandwich I believe would not suit everyone's taste it does have quite a fishy taste (some will love, not my cup of tea. My sister liked it, I prefer the bolognese one.

1. The soufflé pancake is so softtttt. This is how I would imagine eating clouds would feel like. The maple syrup goes well with the pancake and ice cream. A match made in heaven.
2. Serving is quite fast, 15 minutes considering the taste it is worth waiting for. Some things (people) are worth the wait, right? The pancake has quite an eggy flavour, if you do not like egg this is not for you.

1. Seating is plenty, but quite small. The table is big, even though the chair fits for two, but a bit squeezed in.
2. More choices for savory flavour please!

1. Every element is lovely. You know how sometimes a meal has one super star and the rest are back up singers overshadowed by the star? Daging Asap Sambal cannot relate. The brisket as the super star delivers with spices that highlight the beef's taste. The cassava leaves is great with savory flavour and just a hint of sweetness (thought this was going to be bland, but even the cassava leaves were good). Each meal you will also get a broth/soup which has a rich taste that goes perfectly with the meal.
2. A good deal because even the regular size is quite decent in portion.
3. Sambal rica has a slight tanginess to it but is spicier than sambal matah. While other places fail to impress when it comes to sambal matah, Daging Sambal Asap does it right. Slight fragrant with a kick of spiciness. Will come back and try other flavours!

1. More branches please, so far they only have one in Tanjung Duren and Karawaci.
2. Add signs to head to the cashier directly. As I visited there was a lady who was screaming for service (albeit already getting a menu) she found out she had to order, pay and then sit. Props to the team who handled it quite well.

1. The crunchiness of the fried banana. Personally I prefer eating it while it is hot. But it still tastes good when it's cold.
2. That unique flavour profile: banana, honey and slightly caramelized to burnt texture. LOVE.
3. Good value - 5K for a huge banana and a taste like no other. YAS.

There is only one branch in Tanjung Duren. Sedikit PR untuk anak Selatan ke sini, but some LDRs are worth it.
