1. The cakalang tastes so comforting. Like if I had a bad day, and I had to confide to someone, I would confide to this cakalang (if it were a person). The kind of comfort-food that can never disappoint you, like a best friend but better.
2. Panada is like that food I never knew I wanted but turns out I need. The bread is so soft, freshly cooked, sweet combined with the cakalang with a hint of mint. As if the taste were not perfect enough you get a bit of sweet sauce which highlights all the flavour even more. I typically order 2-4 if I am hungry, for one person of course, Panada this good is not for sharing. Sorry not sorry!
3. The Paket Cakalang Suwir comes with two sambal, red sambal and a refreshing dabu-dabu like sambal. For a Libra, this is perfect. Both are great and add a different kind of element and excitement. The dabu-dabu like sambal is refreshing and the red sambal adds a bit of kick. The cakalang tastes perfect as it is, so I usually eat this with the vegetables so as not to ruin the taste of cakalang.
4. The bakwan jagung is love! Crispy with just a hint of sweetness. The sweetness is not overpowering which goes well with the overall flavour profile.
5. The sayur pepaya is good, I’ve had better but it’s still decent because it is not bitter. Also, portion is generous.

1. This is on the pricier side, but I ordered it using online app so I can make use of the discounts he he he. But even if the discounts suddenly decide to disappear one day, I will keep ordering as long as they maintain the fantastic quality. Also, it is actually a good deal portion and pricewise. Naisa is so nice!
2. I wish the Panada has a more consistent taste. At times the bread is sweeter (I like sweeter bread so it’s good!) and sometimes I can genuinely taste the mint but sometimes nope (I like the mint flavour that is somewhere in between subtle and strong). A bad Panada is still a great Panada, but consistency of taste is always appreciated!

1. Gurame Cobek will transport you to a magical land. It's that great! Looks super simple just fried gurame with a bit of clear sauce underneath. But don't be fooled by the appeareance! That little sauce underneath has a citrus, tamarind taste that is so refreshing. It's a match made in heaven. There is also kemangi which makes the dish so fragrant even more enjoyable.
2. Ayam Goreng Basah looks super normal. But one thing we have learned when eating in SHSD is do not judge a book by it's cover. The flavours go all the way into the chicken. It's cut into very small pieces which means... Taking two or three is okay right? 😉
3. Tumis Kangkung has quite a rich flavour profile be sure to order this is you like kangkung. Great for sharing.
4. Sambel Dadak and Sambal Hejo available, they both go well with the food of your choice.
5. Nice ambience! One of the most notable things is how the restaurant shines super bright from the outside. You have an airconned and the one where you can just enjoy the breeze.
6. Great service. Went here during peak hour and a weekend honestly their service is fast, friendly and attentive.

1. Not the cheapest, but considering the taste, service and ambience this is worth your money.
2. Not a big fan of the Perkedel Jagung. Which it was sweeter and crispier.
3. I do wish the sambal were just a bit spicier. While I prefer a sweeter sambal profile, this sambal could use more kick!

1. Don't expect too much of a good authentic Italian taste from an affordable pasta like Sky Pasta. The pasta was al dente and the sauce creamy.
2. Very creamy and hearty, perfect meal when I went there when it was raining.

What could be improved 🙏
I asked for an extra beef, and they just put one salami on top of the plate. They could improve the aesthetic and eating experience by cutting the salami in little chunks rather than a big chunk

1. Love the aesthetics of the packaging and branding
2. I ordered low fat milk for my coffee, I like that there Kopi Soe provides a healthier option
3. I also love that they provide a double shot option because some people like it strong.

What could be improved 🙏
Although I ordered double espresso, it didn't feel like it's a double shot milk coffee sadly, would appreciate if they can improve in that area
