If there is something legendary, memorable, beautiful, unique, and a little bit historical. It would be Plataran Menteng.


This restaurant was located at Menteng in the center of Jakarta. They took Javanese as the ambience theme of their restaurant. So, if you go inside to the place, you'll be welcome by a Javanese vibes of the place.


Like when you go to the inside gate/welcome gate, you'll see Javanese decoration everywhere. They also have a cozy VIP room. Not only that, if you go inside, you'll feel like at a fancy home. The place is wide and dominant with a white colour inside. I think, it's more like a fusion Javanese - Holland vibes because, for the dominant white colour.


There are a lots of seating option. Suit for gathering and meeting. At the top of this restaurant, you'll find a rooftop that you can see the scenery of Jakarta city and the skies.

I tried, Bistik Oma (149k), Tahu Nenek (75k), and Keripik Pisang/Banana Chips (Free). The price is so high but, i think it's still worth if you want to count the great ambience. The service is perfect, all of the servers are kind and friendly.


How about the taste?


1). Bistik Oma: Dominant with savoury. And what makes this food special is this food reminded me of my babysitter homecook ❤. That's why, this food is memorable for me.


When i try this food, it reminds me of Ratatouile movie. When Anton Ego try Ratatouile and that food makes Anton Ego remembered his childhood and his mom's cook.


And yes, i felt like that when i try this kind of food. Super memorable and i believe, it's cooked with love 🌝.

2). Tahu Nenek: It's a filled tofu but, their blend all the filled and refry with a flour. Have a crunchy texture and dominant with soft + light savoury taste.


3). Keripik Pisang: Usually, keripik pisang taste sweet like a banana. But, in here, their keripik pisang taste was savoury.

Mie Jempol Batavia -- Kedai bakmi satu ini berlokasi di Boulevard Kelapa Gading dan pada masanya, merupakan bakmi langganan gue sama nyokap gue hahaha. Dulu mereka punya cabang di Gading Food City tapi, karena tempatnya udah dirobohin, jadinya pindah ke mari. Kalau pusatnya, mereka ada di Gading Batavia.


Di sini, gue cobain: Mie Goreng Seafood (45k), Pangsit Rebus (23k), sama minuman Jeruk Panas. Untuk harganya masih terbilang worth it. Apalagi, mie gorengnya karena percayalah, ini porsinya gede banget. Gue aja makan setengah bagi dua sama nyokap ngerasa begah.


Rasanya gimana?


1). Mie Goreng Seafood: Toppingnya royal, teksturnya garing tapi, rada oily. Cuma yang gue suka adalah dia rasanya dominan ke gurih, beda kayak mie ulang tahun pada umumnya yang lebih ke manis. Nah, kalau di sini lebih ke asin gurih.


2). Pangsit Rebus: Kuahnya gurih dan sedap. Pangsitnya lembut. Tapi, isiannya kurang strong berasa di mulut.

3). Jeruk Hangat: Ya, ini jeruk peras murni yang disajiin hangat.


Ambience tempatnya cocok buat makan bentar. Karena tempatnya rada kecil dan sempit (beda pas dulu di GFC).

Pelayanan ramah.

Do you know where is the best place to celebrate new year? Grand Dafam Hotel is the answer 🥳🥳.



In the last day of 2022, Grand Dafam Hotel has been held a new year event with tropical party as the theme. If you paid to join the party, you would get a paper bracelete in your hand, used tropical outfit as dress code, and the important... ate buffet whatever you want 😍😍.


The menu was also diverse. They had Indonesian cuisine, kebab, western cuisine, middle east cuisine, fruit, drink, and also a dessert. The ambience also nice, neat, and not really fancy like in a hotel in general. But, the place is super wide and super cozy ❤. The service was also nice and friendly.


I try:


1). Bolognaise Pasta: I though it would be only have sour taste but, no. It was yummy, the pasta texture was aldente and they also had a sour-savoury taste. I like it.


2). Shawarma: This beef and the bread was super tasty and had a rich taste. Not only, that i love the taste from the mushroom sauce. Dominan with savoury taste and mmm... yum ^^.



3). Kebab: It's also yummy, the chicken was super tasty and the taste was also rich. I love it so much <3 .


4). Fried Noodle: The texture was aldente, the taste was dominant in savoury, and the topping was good also.


5). Tahu Gejrot: Too ordinary i think. It depends on how you but the sauce to the tofu. Not really spicy at all.

6). Dessert: All of the dessert in here was have a perfect sweet taste. Not oversweet and in some chocolate cake, it was also have a bitter hint.


Overalll, all of the food was nice and out of my expectation. Would love to eat in here again. Hope in the future i can celebrate it in here 😍😍.

Madcoco -- Sebuah brand minuman kelapa punya Titan Tyra yang berlokasi di food court Dotonbori, Mall Of Indonesia.


Di sini, gue cobain edisi spesial mereka di hari libur namanya Choco Hazel Berry dengan tambahan topping Granola. Totalnya jadi 48k. Ya, wajar2 aja lah ya minuman di mall dihargain segitu.


Rasanya?


Ini sebenarnya kelapa blender dengan campuran hazelnut, selai berry, sama dikasih granola. Dan yeah, lagi-lagi kelapanya gak berasa dan cuma es doang yang berasa. Dan rada berrynya sedikit kerasa, hazelnutnya juga. Intinya, ini cuma es doang lah yang dominan di mulut. Rada mengecewakan, sih buat gue pribadi.


Pelayanan ramah dan friendly.

Kohicha Cafe -- Sebuah kafe yang menjual aneka fusion Japanese food yang ada di Ruko Kirana, Kelapa Gading. Gue datang kemari dalam rangka undangan gathering bareng teman2 gereja.


Di sini, gue cobain: Honey Bee Tea sama Chicken Shirataki Yakisoba seharga 65k. Worth it untuk sekelas makanan kafe. Apalagi, mereka pakai yakisoba.


Rasanya?


1). Honey Bee Tea: Dia rasanya dominan ke asam, gak jauh beda lah sama lemon tea.


2). Shirataki Yakisoba: Rasanya dominan ke asam manis, tektur yakisobanya kenyal. Toppingnya juga royal ada ayam, telur, sama remahan kulit ikan.


Ambience tempatnya cozy. Banyak dekorasi natal yang makin mempercantik tempat ini. Pelayanan juga ramah dan friendly.

Mixue -- Mixue is famous drinking brand from China. This brand is super famous in Indonesia. And this brand is have so many many branch in Indonesia. In Indonesia, this brand have a called "malaikat yang mencatat ruko kosong" or if in translated in English it called "angel who write an empty office house".



In Mixue, the most famous menu in here is the ice cream and the bubble drinks. But, i tried the tea menu. I tried Peach Earl Grey Tea (16k) and Original Jasmine Tea (10k). It's super duper cheap.



How about the taste?


1). Jasmine Tea: I bought less sugar varian. The less sugar one is not really sweet. And have a bitter hint. The jasmine aroma is not really strong. But, the tea taste is dominant in the mouth.


2). Peach Earl Grey Tea: Dominant with sour taste from the peach fruit. But, in the last slurp, you'll try the sweet taste from the jelly.


The service is kind and friendly ❤. I try in Kelapa Gading branch. In this branch, the ambience is not really neat and the sit is not too much. But, it's okay... because, the place is only for takeaway.

Coffee Tree -- Sebuah kedai kopi yang menjual aneka kopi dari biji kopi murni di Ruko Mall Of Indonesia. Mereka juga jual biji kopi murni di sini.

Gue di sini memesan Caffe Latte Hot seharga 45k. Worth it, sih karena mereka pakai biji kopi juga.

Rasanya?

Latte sendiri adalah menu kopi yang paling light di sini. Tapi, se light kopi di sini, tetap aja rasanya strong dan dominan ke pahit khas kopi. Susunya gak terlalu berasa, lebih berasa ke kopinya. Efeknya gak terlalu strong tapinya. Gue minum ini pas agak malam tapi, jam 12 malam gue ngantuk juga.

Ambience tempatnya luas. Nyaman juga buat kerja sama ngumpul. Apalagi, tempat duduknya banyak pilihan. Hanya saja pas gue masuk sini, gue disambut aroma nasi hainam hahaha.

Pelayanan ramah dan friendly.
