Why you will love it ❤
1. Great service - attentive and friendly, always great if the waiters/waitresses are able to explain the menu. Shows they trained the staff well.
2. Interesting concept. A modern take on Japanese food and cafe that will satisfy your belly.
3. Salmon skin mayo paired beautifully with the mayo, couldn't stop munching!
4. The dorayaki must be hands on the winner, soft texture, not eggy, a perfect dessert to share with friends after a hefty meal.
5. The parfait are generous in portion, choose matcha ogura if you prefer parfait that is not overwhelmingly sweet.
6. Strawberry peach tea is generous in fruit and size.

1. Gyoza chicken mozzarella has a great thin outer layer. It was a good dish, but I think could do with a bit more savoury kick to make the dish stand out even more.
2. Popcorn Caramel Parfait is great for those who love their dessert sweet. Which is how a dessert should be, a sweet ending to your meal. However, I think with a bit of salty element this could balance out the overwhelming caramel sweetness. However, you do get the corn flakes inside which balances the flavour but it's under the parfait.

Gyoza Chicken Mozzarella (7.0/10)

1. Indonesian comfort food. Not pretentious, just down to earth but highlighting the flavour.
2. Go for the tahu telur, the sauce is sweet and slightly savoury which goes well with the tofu and peyek. YUMMY. Though get this as a shared dish, because as great as it is, it’s a huge dish and difficult to finish alone.
3. Nasi Kuning is great for those of you who do not like to choose when it comes to food (I can relate). You got the lovely empal suwir, perkedel, chicken wings (a bit weird for nasi kuning, but I love it still), kripik belado and srundend. My least favourite one is the belado kentang, but then again I have never been a huge fan of it.
4. Sate buntel kambing is also what dreams are made of, this one is great and you can definitely finish it all but for cholesterol sake, do share it with friends and family!

Considering that we visited on a saturday night with almost all of the restaurant being full, I think they did a pretty good job. Nothing much to say here, but hopefully they can get the order right. Because the sate buntel arrived a bit late compared to other dishes. With that being said, still very great and fast service.

Menu:
Nasi Kuning 9.1/10
Tahu Telur 9.3/10

1. Let me start with the Spicy Chibab, it has that nice spicy and barbeque taste without numbing your tongue. Just enough pain for spiciness (mild/spicy level), but not to the extent you will cry, so perfect level of spiciness. Even if you do not like spicy food, I think you will enjoy this. You get fries, rice and sweet potato for the protein. Libra people? Yes, this is for you guys who cannot make a choice.
2. Chir Chiqueen is fantastic! Super generous cheese. Did not even expect the cheese to be that much. If cheese makes you go mad, let’s go crazy and order this delicious madness.
3. If you prefer to have roasted chicken, Spicy BBQ Roasted Chicken is awesome. Also, this is quite spicy and it is more generous in terms of herbs I believe. Personally, I like my chicken fried but this is good for a different flavour profile.
4. Spicy Tenders have bits of almond that adds a unique profile flavour. Eat it with the rice cake and sweet potato cubes covered in caramelized Chir Chir’s special sauce goodness.
5. I also love the Corn Tea (refill, yeay!) and it has quite a strong Corn Tea flavour which I really appreciate.
6. Plenty of seating and the lighting is nice and bright.

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!

Samsui Ginger Bao 8.9/10
Red Bean Rose Bao 7.9/10

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
Lava: 8.9/10
Trifolata: 9.3/10
