1. The interior design of this coffee shop is unique, there is a terrace overlooking outsixe where there are lots of wonderful plants
2. If you're in the mood to have a laid-back day with family or alone time, this place is a great destination
3. Really friendly and fast responding baristas and waiters
4. Great, GREAT, pempek. Who knew a bistro serves one of the best pempek around Cirendeu area? We have tried a lot of pempek specialized parlor around the area and we found the greatest one yet in a bistro.

What could be improved 🙏
1. The blend of the espresso is a bit too bitter for me. Maybe it's ristretto, lower grade of beans or they specialize in making milk-type coffee beverage to give an extra jolt. I didn't expect much from the coffee though, since being a bistro is their brand
2. Sometimes the music is a bit too loud indoors, would really appreciate a quiet yet still slow nice music in the background
3. Would really appreciate if they give more cuko for the Pempek

Place: Ben's Haus Bistro
Menu:
1. Americano (7.8/10)
2. Espresso (6.5/10)
3. Pempek (9.5/10)

1. The ayam bakar… you gotta order it here! It is super flavourful even when you order the chicken breast the seasoning goes all the way to the middle of the chicken that is rich in flavour with a bit of that smokiness which is always a treat.
2. The sate padang is next level here! The downside is sometimes they run out/don’t make it. Be sure to order it here. The sauce is fantastic and the satay is nice and tender.
3. There is a large door which is quite aesthetic actually, not typically found in a Padang restaurant.

What could be improved 🙏
1. Sometimes the food here is too salty (not all the time, just every now and then), which is a shame because their seasoning is often on point. Consistency could be improved.
2. The staff sometimes miscalculate the food which happened quite a few times during my visit.
3. Parking slot is available for for two cars only.

Place: Sederhana Gunung SA, Cirendeu

Dendeng Basah 7.2/10

1. Chicken teriyaki here has the right balance of sauce. Not too much that the rice is super soaked in sauce but not stingy. Just great. The taste is the right amount of savoury with sweeetness of the teriyaki that dominates. Chicken is crispy and perfectly cooked.
2. Ocha here is super flavourful!
3. Seared Egg with Pollock Roe is great, it is sweet and goes well as the ending to the meal.
4. Plenty of seating.
5. Friendly service.

The salmon was not as fresh usual. Still good, but usually in Genki Sushi it is a tad bit fresher. With that being said, it was still an enjoyable visit.

Chicken Teriyaki Bowl (55K) 8.6/10
Seared Egg with Pollock Roe (20K) 7.8/10
Salmon Combo (79K) 7.0/10

1. So many branches everywhere!
2. Taste differ from one branch to another but the one in Bintaro Plaza is great!
3. Chocolate hazelnut drink has a nice chocolatey taste that tastes a bit bitter but instantly balanced by the sweet hazelnut. YUMMY.

What could be improved 🙏
1. Hopefully they can have consistent taste in all branches. If all branches taste like the one in Bintaro Plaza, then that would be awesome.
2. Place is a bit hidden, in Hero Supermarket

Place: Dum Dum, Bintaro Plaza

TOKUSEN WAGYU SUMIBIYAKI IS MY FAVE.

Why you will love it ❤
1. Uro offers an authentic Japanese restaurant area in Serpong. It’s subtle and highlights the taste of the ingredients with the right seasoning.
2. The star of the show is the Tokusen Wagyu Sumibiyaki, premium Japanese wagyu beef with ponzu citrus dressing. If Tokusen Wagyu Sumibiyaki were a person, it would be the kind of boy you would bring to your mama. Not dating material, but marriage material. A feast for the eyes and the tummy as you see the wagyu beef sizzling in front of you.
3. Shiitake mushroom from the Yakitori Mix is perfectly-seasoned without hiding the taste of the mushroom itself.
4. Salmon Teppanyaki took us by surprise! It looked perfectly normal, compared to the other dishes not the prettiest. But the taste, one of the memorable ones for sure!
5. Katsu Don, albeit being too crispy for a typical katsu, I actually enjoyed it!
6. Friendly and attentive service.
7. Beautiful interior, perfect for that OOTD pic.

1. This is located in Serpong area, so not the nearest for all people. Though great if you live/work around Serpong area. This is a proper place to bring your clients for a lunch or dinner meeting to get that business deal.
2. Not really an improvement, but just a note if you would visit here. Prices are quite steep compared to other restaurants.
3. Personally thought the sushi was just okay, nothing too special about it. The yakitori mix for the chicken was a little too chewy to be enjoyable unfortunately. Udon was good, but I thought could use some extra kick of flavour. Tonkatsu chicken was not too memorable, not the highlight of my visit. Please note that this is an authentic Japanese restaurant restaurant, so do not expect the taste that has already been adjusted to the Indonesian taste with super bold flavour. While some dishes could use improvement, if you order the highlights (Tonkatsu Wagyu Sumibiyaki, Salmon Teppanyaki, Tonkatsu Chicken, Yakitori go for the shiitake!) you will definitely enjoy your dining experience here.

Place: Uro, Serpong

1. The smokiness of the se'i is just out of this world perfection in every bite.
2. You can choose your sambal, my favourite is the matah and rica-rica.
3. Generous portion for a cheap price.
4. The broth and the cassava leaves are a great combination. You would think it is a typical broth or cassava, but no they are rich in flavour complimenting the se'i beautifully.
5. Friendly service.

Hopefully all the menu are in stock when we visit next time. Would love to try the lu'at and the nasi jeruk!

1. Nasi uduk. So fragrant and flavourful. In that moment you will know why other nasi uduk fail to impress you. Nasi uduk Mpok Iyoh is generous in fried onion and has a taste that will make you forget about all the nasi uduk before you (Nasi Uduk Mpok Iyoh).
2. The proteins are all very well-seasoned. I usually go for the chicken and the empal. But every now and then I like to change it up a bit and order the shrimp.
3. The sambal is super good. Whether you opt for the saus kacang (given along with the nasi uduk) or the sambal merah on the table. Both are good. Some like to mix them. I like to keep it as it is and eat both during the meal.
4. I like the daun pohpohan lalapan with the nasi uduk. Best. Combo. For. Lalapan. Ever.

1. Small parking space, only fit about 3-4 cars. However, there is a convenient store about 50m towards Rempoa. You can buy something and park a while there.
2. They open at around 15:00-18:00, I suggest you should visit around 16:00 because if you visit after 6pm man they probably run out of that glorius nasi uduk. Yes, they sell out super fast.

1. Meatballs is just lovely. That gravy, paired with the mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam is a great combo. The savoury goes well with the hint of sweetness from the jam. Personally, I could do without the peas. It wasn't a good addition to the meal.
2. Reasonably priced at 55K for 12 pieces of meatballs.
3. Free parking.
4. The soda and tea/coffee is free flow.
5. Make sure you buy the ice cream which has the consistency more of a whipped cream than an ice cream because it is soft with a nice sweet cone.

Place tend to be packed during weekends, so schedule your visit accordingly.
