Biteorbye? Bite.

Why you will love it ❤
1. Love the balsamic salad served with the mozarella sticks, it was refreshing after eating the mozarella.
2. Caesar Salad is my kind of salad. So generous in dressing. The egg was a perfect runny kind and had generous amount of cheese. You know those salad that you eat to lose weight and so you do not feel guilty about? Yeah, this is not it. This is better than that kind of salad.
3. Seared Gindara was lovely. The Gindara is generous in portion and the mashed potato paired beautifully. The grilled enoki was the best part, could use more of it! The lemon butter sauce was refreshing and really let the gindara and mashed potato shine. This is what a great team work looks like. Nobody is trying to outshine each other. Each shine in their own beautiful way.

What could be improved 🙏
1. The mozarella had too much breadcrumbs on the outside and it did not melt. Was expecting some cheese porn but sadly, it did not happen.
2. Pannacotta tasted more like an average pudding. Expected more because their starters and main dish were actually good.
3. Was invited by Pergi Kuliner for an Alfa event (yeay, first timer, so happy!). But I think this restaurant is not ready for it. Waiteresses brought to the table the wrong menu and waiting period was wayyyy too long. Two hours for a dish? Hopefully the restaurant could cater big groups because the food itself is quite good actually.

5 Sticks Fried Mozarella 6.8/10

1. Various branches everywhere.
2. The otak-otak goreng here is great, dip it with their sambal sauce even more awesome! Always a good go to snack when you want something to eat but do not want to be too full.
3. Es Teler 77 is that reliable friend always there when you need someone to listen to. Otak-otak and the Es Teler 77 goes well together!

When I went here the otak-otak goreng was prefried. Always great to get some otak-otak goreng ready and you do not need to wait, but it comes with a price. They are not hot and warm anymore because they were not fried when the orders came. Maybe because it was a weekend and they were expecting an influx of people coming in, but would be great if they were hot and warm and not prefried! :)

Place: Es Teler 77, Gandaria City
Menu:
Otak-otak Goreng (26K): 7.3/10
Es Teler 77 (31K): 7.5/10

1. Generous cheese! Plenty of cheese for days you will love this place if you love dish.
2. The pink lemonade is refreshing, but somehow I think it would taste better if it were a bit more sour and had a tinge of soda.

What could be improved 🙏
1. On the pricey side. But in terms of taste vs price, this is not a good deal as the taste is an average sandwich, nothing special.
2. Ordered the Patty Melt because it was the most recommended sandwich here according to the cashier - the patty is just an average patty, could not taste the coleslaw because all the elements of the sandwich did not compliment each other, the cheese albeit generous was not the star of the show because each element was trying to outshine each other. Had potential, but not the best sandwich I have eaten.
3. They cook right near you, so if you do not want to smell like meat/cheese, would be better to buy it to go.
4. Small seating area but still enough and cozy enough to eat there.

Place: Smorrebrod, Gandaria City
Menu:
Patty Melt 7.5/10

1. They serve all the menu using ipad, so convenient and less chances of error.
2. The Classic Bingsoo was quite generous in portion, the peanuts and condensed milk went well together with a bit of marshmallow here and there. Simple yet good.
3. Affordable Korean food, but still okay quality.

What could be improved 🙏
Attentiveness of service could be improved, the waiter and waitress did not respond to our call several times.

Place: Mujigae, FX
Menu: Classic Bingsoo (18K): 7.8/10

Biteorbye? Bye.

1. The portion is quite generous, generous amount of ribs, bakwan jagung is quite a good size and sayur asem is plenty even for two.
2. Ribs are tender.
3. Located in food court area, strategically located.
4. Great service, super friendly.

What could be improved 🙏
1. Sambal could be more generous.
2. I wish they used actual glasses instead of plastic.
3. The ribs lacked real flavour, not spicy, not sweet, not savoury. Quite confusing.
4. Sayur asem was too sweet. I think if they added the hint of sourness would have been better.

Place: Ricewalk, GI
Menu:
Iga Bakar 6.0/10
Bakwan Jagung 6.7/10
Sayur Asem 6.4/10

1. Affordable and not pretentious dim sum place.
2. I believe out of all the outlets of Imperial Kitchen, the Fong Zau in Imperial Kitchen Blok M Plaza tastes the best. It is rich in flavour and all of the tastes will just blow your mind. It’s spicy, sweet, savoury all combined into one dish. Brilliant!
3. Love the chilli oil here.
4. Must get the gao zi, fong zau and ha kau.
5. Lots of branches everywhere.
6. Friendly and kind service.

What could be improved 🙏
1. Place is a bit hot here, maybe because the kitchen is near the seating area but it was hotter than usual and did not make the dining experience too comfortable.
2. Service is a bit slow, understandable if it was during peak hour, but there were only 1/4 of the table filled in the restaurant, good thing the service was kind and friendly.
3. Ha kau did not taste as good as usual, lacked the shrimp flavour.

Place: Imperial Kitchen, Blok M Plaza

Fong Zau 9.2/10
Ha Kau 7.8/10
