3.8Ban Ban [ Pondok Indah, Kafe ]
SEEMS LIKE EACH BRANCH TASTES (VERY SLIGHTLY) DIFFERENT.
Biteorbye? Bite.
Why you will love it ❤
1. That cheese cream is the reason you will fall over and over again after drinking each sip of Ban Ban. Yas. Not too savoury and not too sweet. Just that perfect balance.
2. The queue here is not too long. 30 minutes on a weekend for Ban Ban is quite fast!
3. Large seating area - however mostly occupied by people waiting for their drinks.
4. Friendly service.
What could be improved 🙏
I think they need to have a more consistent taste and proportion in each branch. While the Beri Beri Chizu still tastes exquisite (Ban Ban is brilliant afterall), however, the taste seems to be just a bit different with the one in GI. The cheese cream is a bit more savoury which was not great because the great thing about Ban Ban is that balance of flavour and once the cheese cream is too salty… not the experience I was looking for. Also, the cheese cream was a bit on the stingy side, while in GI the proportion is right so you get that fruity freshness with a good portion of cheese cream. And finally... the Beri Beri Chizu is less fragrant compared to the one in GI. For Ban Ban cravings, I think I will stick to going to GI, even if it means queueing for 45-60 minutes.

4.2Toby's Estate [ Pondok Indah, Kafe ]
STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING TASTES GREAT, BUT WAS TOO SWEET :’)
Biteorbye? Bite.
Why you will love it ❤
1. Sticky Toffee Pudding in terms of presentation is beautiful. Like if it were a person, whenever he walks by, everyone cannot stop and stare. But in terms of taste… because they are superrrr generous with the caramel sauce it is too sweet. With that being said, the cake was divine, paired with the ice cream.
2. They have great espresso. Please give it a try if you do enjoy espresso!
3. Nice ambience.
4. Great service.
What could be improved 🙏
1. For the sticky toffee pudding, I think the caramel sauce would be better to be served separately, this is to prevent oversweetness especially those who enjoy their dessert but not too overwhelmingly sweet kind of dessert.
2. This place is on the pricier side, but in terms of taste, ambience and service you get what you pay for.

5.0Saigon Delight [ Pondok Indah, Vietnam ]
BRINGING A TASTE OF VIETNAM TO JAKARTA.
Biteorbye? Bite.
Why you will love it ❤
1. We love the shrimp summer rolls! The rolls itself is already great and refreshing, but with that peanut sauce dipping. It’s the equivalent of having a crush on someone, and then finding out he/she likes the same books and bands as you do. MAGIC. They. Instantly. Become. 120%. More. Attractive.
2. Grilled Chicken Skewers Vermicelli was great. Perfect for sharing for two, because the portion is indeed generous. Get another main course or order an extra appetizer if you want to share this. We love the fried shrimp rolls. Super flavourful. However, the chicken skewers could do more seasoning. It is good, but has the potential to be great.
3. Friendly, attentive and fast service. The waitress seem to remember all of our orders despite actually writing it. Props to her!
4. Great ambiece to have a lovely brunch, lunch or dinner.
What could be improved 🙏
1. While the Shrimp Summer Rolls is already fantastic, we wish it was a tad bit more generous on the coriander. It never hurts to enhance the flavour with coriander.
2. Pomelo Salad with Seafood is not the best pomelo salad we have had so far. It lacks the tanginess from the pomelo and the flavour was more on the safe and subtle side. While you might enjoy it if you prefer a more subtle Pomelo Salad flavour, I prefer it a bit sweet with a punch of sourness and spiciness.

4.0Shabu Hachi [ Gatot Subroto, Jepang ]
MEAT QUALITY WAS OKAY, BUT I DO APPRECIATE THAT THEY HAVE VARIOUS OPTIONS FOR AYCE.
Biteorbye? Bite.
Why you will love it ❤
1. Various options for shabu-shabu, meat and drinks. You can just take it yourself, but for premium package the meat would be brought to your table.
2. Great that they have infused water here.
3. Lots of vegetable selections.
4. Friendly and attentive service. The waitress is able to explain well the menu which is always great especially for first-timers, like me. Also, would be better if you book your visit in advance.
5. Nice ambience. While you might be distracted with all the food and lots of people during peak hour, but you can actually see that the ambience is nice. It’s spacious and comfortable to be in.
What could be improved 🙏
Personally, I wish the sauce selection was better. I think what separates one AYCE and another besides the quality of the meat is the sauce itself. While the spicy sauce was enjoyable, I think the ginger (not sure if this is actually ginger?) was a tad too dominant for my liking. But you can cut the strong taste by adding a bit of chilli and customizing the sauce.

4.6Panhead [ Radio Dalam, Kafe ]
CALAMARI IS SUPRISINGLY GOOD, NICE AMBIENCE TO CHILL AND HAVE A CONVERSATION.
Biteorbye? Bite.
Why you will love it ❤
1. The calamari is great here! Maybe it’s the calamari itself, maybe it’s the seasoning or the tartar sauce that is refreshing. Or all of them combined. Quite surprising because we did not the calamari to taste this good. Definitely ordering this again when we come back!
2. Nice ambience. The place is laid back, chill and cozy without having a pretentious vibe.
3. Fast, friendly and attentive service.
4. Plenty of parking space available.

Wish the nachos had guacamole and sourcream! Though we do understand that would increase the price. But nachos without guacamole and sourcream is like going to Bali but not chasing sunsets. Still a great experience, but you are missing a key element. With that being said, nachos was still good. Will be back because of the food and cozy ambience!

4.6LOF Coffee & Tea [ Fatmawati, Kafe ]
GREAT PLACE TO HAVE A CHAT WHILE ORDERING YOUR FAVOURITE JUICE AND DESSERT
Biteorbye? Bite.
Why you will love it ❤
1. The ambience! Hands down. This is also a plant shop so you are surrounded by greens while enjoying your favourite food and drinks. Plants of different sizes and shapes. It’s really a fun and happy place to be in. Great place to go and have great conversations with your favourite people.
2. Great deal for ice cream, I chose ogura and durian. They both have subtle taste that is enjoyable. But considering the taste it’s still a great deal.
3. Order the green lime pineapple if you would like to taste a refreshing drink. Next time I visit will order the food.

Parking space is limited althought it can fit 3-4 cars. So public transportation is preferable!

2.8Mie Aceh Seafood [ Ciputat Timur, Indonesia ]
AFFORDABLE MIE ACEH COMFORT FOOD IN CIPUTAT AREA.
Biteorbye? Bite.
Why you will love it ❤
1. Affordable Mie Aceh in Ciputat area.
2. In terms of taste, I have had better Mie Aceh elsewhere. But compared to the price and taste, it is a good deal. Noodles have good texture, not too soft/too hard. They have nice pickled onion and chilli which goes well with the noodles. I think if they have emping, this would taste even better.
What could be improved 🙏
1. Service might be a bit slower during peak hours 😂. They often have online app drivers queueing so just be patient! Your noodles are coming.
2. Parking is limited, however, don’t worry the person who helps parking near the restaurant is super helpful.

2.8Andim Pertok Lontong Cap Gomeh [ Pondok Indah, Indonesia ]
FLAVOURFUL LONTONG CAP GOMEH IN EVERY BITE.
Biteorbye? Bite.
Why you will love it ❤
1. The lontong here is super flavourful. Every element is like an explosion of flavour in your mouth. Personally, I thought it did not require any more sambal because it is already good as it is.
2. Plenty of parking since it is situated in Pondok Indah Pertok.
3. Portion is generous.
4. Friendly service.
What could be improved 🙏
1. Service was a bit slow, because they had plenty of online app drivers queueing, but I guess this shows that the food is popular.
2. Hygiene could be improved. Seating area was not too clean. While we do understand this is more of a streetfood style place, considering the price and place, I think it is natural that you would expect a place that is a bit cleaner.
3. Personally thought the lontong is a bit harder than I am used to. Not that I like soft lontong, but if it were a bit softer I think the overall experience would have been even more enjoyable.

3.4Demie [ Darmawangsa, China ]
YUMMY YAMIEN, ELEVATED VERSION.
Biteorbye? Bite.
Why you will love it ❤
1. The chicken and mushroom is uber generous! I like how the flavour is balanced. Not too sweet and not too savoury, just right. Plus the sauce is generous.
2. The texture of the noodles is love! I chose the mie keriting, but they also have the mie karet version. It’s not overcooked at all. Just right. I also notice they time the cooking, so the noodles are precisely cooked. That’s why! They found the perfect timing for their noodles. Science.
3. Service is quick and fast.
4. There are also garlic oil and pickled chilli besides the typical sambal condiment. But the noodles itself already taste great. For me, there is no need to add topping/condiments really. Like what Bruno Mars said, you are amazing just the way you are.
What could be improved 🙏
Place is on the pricey side. While a typical mie ayam costs between 15-20K, this will set you back 28-43K++ and drinks range from 15-18K++. However, considering the taste I think every now and then treat yourself to a meal of demie because it’s worth it and you are worth it!

3.8Ciknic Roast Chicken [ Darmawangsa, Barat ]
CHICKEN WAS COOKED PERFECTLY, THOUGH I WISH IT HAD MORE BOLD FLAVOURS.
Biteorbye? Bite.
Why you will love it ❤
1. Chicken is juicy! You know how sometimes roasted chicken is sometimes too dry? Yeah, don’t expect that when you come to Ciknic cause they can cook the chicken well.
2. I like how the green salad was refreshing, adds a balance of flavour to the meal.
3. Suprise menu: the Vanilla Truffle ice cream (by es krim pannen). I don’t understand how this flavour is so weird (in a good way) but interesting! I usually eat truffle with savoury dish but this is vanilla and ice cream. Very intriguing.
4. Friendly, fast and attentive service.
5. Ambience is very homy and cozy, super welcoming atmosphere that will make you want to stay.
What could be improved 🙏
1. When I visited, the sauce was a bit on the saltier side.
2. I wish the side dish was customizable. I would prefer to eat the original signature chicken, but I wish I could choose other side dish that go with the chicken. The sauteed baby potato was just okay, nothing special but I guess this is because the meal was to highlight the chicken and not the sidedish. But I think Robin can still shine and will not steal Batman’s spotlight, because well… I visited for the chicken but the rest of the ingredients should compliment the meal.
