PERFECT YOUR BREAKFAST OR AFTERNOON TEA DIM SUM CRAVING

Why you will love it ❤
1. So many dimsum to choose! What's the best? They have vast choices of savoury and sweet dimsum.
2. Soup Restaurant created a Teahouse concept in Pondok Indah to ensure we have a great place to sit around, talk, enjoy great dimsum and tea.
3. Samsui Ginger Bao is delicious, one very good comfort food, their bao is soft great if you like chicken and ginger.
4. Hakau has a generous amount of shrimp, we love the hakau.
5. Siomay tastes rich with goji berry as a topping, interesting!
6. Lomakai is an absolute favourite, the stickiness of the rice and chicken fillings smells gorgeous.

What could be improved 🙏
1. If a group orders a lot of dimsum, would appreciate if the waiter leave the lid on the dim sum, so the food will remain warm
2. Salted Egg Pao could be improved. Out of three paos, there was one pao that lacked the fillings and was empty, I didn't really like the dominant sweet taste somewhat tasted like sweet potatoes, was sort of expecting savoury.
3. The Xiao Long Bao tasted quite bland, could have more flavourings. But the texture of the skin wrap is really nice!

1. I do not like vegetables on my pizza, but for Calabrese I can and will definitely make an exception. The jalapeno peppers is what makes this pizza special.
2. Lava is good as usual, the simple tomato taste goes well with the burrata cheese, my fave for a simple yet rich tasting pizza.
3. Loveeee the Trifolata here. I like the truffle taste, super generous topping if you like truffle and mushroom definitely a must-order.
4. American is also good too if you prefer the simple pepperoni with cheese kind of pizza, it's just the others stole the show so in comparison the American Pizza was just good compared to great.
5. Great service.
6. Small space, however, they make the best use of it and this fits quite a lot people but still cozy at the same time!
7. Lots of branches everywhere.

What could be improved 🙏
The seats are quite close to each other because they really made efficient use of the space. However there are booth seats if you prefer a more spacious place. Not a big problem at all because it is still comfortable and I think adds to the charm. Plus, food is great and service is also fantastic you will go home happy, smiling with a full tummy.

Place: Pizza Marzano, Senayan City

Calabrese: 9.1/10

1. Make your own healthy meal with a combination of healthy options of carbs, protein and veggies has been quite a hit in Jakarta, and we would most definitely recommend those starting out a healthy lifestyle to try Terra. You get to enjoy yummy food without feeling guilty!
2. The fact that we can either choose a hot bowl or a salad bowl. I am happy with the vast choice of food that we get to eat.
3. The spacious, bright area. The moment you enter the restaurant, it already screams healthy. Branding well done.
4. The juice is so fresh, you have to try all their blends, they can really make one healthy kick of a juice.
5. They have a small area where you can buy healthy ingredients to take home with you!
6. The food is very delicious and they use Indonesian flavours mostly which we like to give mad props. It doesn't taste healthy but it actually is!

What could be improved 🙏
1. People who are health conscious usually are also conscious with the environment, would be great if they eliminate the single use paper straws and coaster, ask the customers to drink from the glass directly and use reusable coasters
2. Would love if they explain more on the menu what the sauce consist of. It only said "sweet", "sour", "salty". I chose sweet and they gave me a small container of curry sauce. Which is really nice, but not everyone likes curry!
3. Presentation of the dishes could be improved.

Place: Terra, Senopati

Shirataki Rice, Salmon, Mushroom and Kale with Sweet Sauce: 8.1/10

1. Choose the original! Gojira Don my love. I just enjoy every bite of it. The right proportion of sauce, meat, egg and rice.
2. Loveee the sweet and original sauce, they are quite generous with it.
3. That egg porn. If you like your eggs a bit runny this is it.
4. The meat. It is soft, tender, flavourful and cooked.
5. Place is small, but there is plenty of seating. But I think this adds to the charm.
6. Great and friendly service, you could request for the egg to be added by them or add it yourself.
7. Great rice to protein ratio for Gojira Don Oomori.

What could be improved 🙏
1. I ordered the Tokumori (Medium Size) also in my other visit, but I think the proportions were off. Plenty of meat. But they also give lots of rice and the sauce was not that much compared to the meat. While I do enjoy the meat (quite a lot), what I like about the small size is all the propotion is balanced and perfect.
2. Personally, I do not like the lettuce inside the Don, I thought it did not go well together. Will order it sans lettuce next time I visit here.

1. The restaurant is spacier since the renovation.
2. I like the sweet and sour chicken here, sweet and tangy. Portion is good for 2-3 people.
Interior of the restaurant is nice.

What could be improved 🙏
1. The chicken is too crispy and seems like the chicken meat itself is so smol which explains why it is so crispy. Still enjoyable, just expected more meat that’s all. Usually it's not like this.
2. They have a stage just near the restaurant, so we suggest taking the other side of the restaurant if you do not like loud noises (just in case there is an event).

1. They use bamboo plates, a better alternative compared to styrofoam.
2. Love the proportion of the sauce here. Some branches are a bit on the stingier side or the katsuobushi is too much. But honestly, Gindaco in GI is the best Gindaco I’ve ever been to.
3. Quite plenty of seats.

What could be improved 🙏
Space between seats were too close.

Place: Gindaco, Grand Indonesia
