Beautika is an Indonesian restaurant specializes in Manadonese food. You order your food in the front before you sit down at a table, quite similar to your everyday Indonesian 'warung style' restaurant.

Located in Petojo, this place has an ample amount of parking space, however it could be quite packed in lunch time. Fingers crossed you'd get spot in rush hour.

I recommed you to get their brenebon soup, banana fritters with roa sambal. Banana fritters with sambal roa, though not a combination you'd see everyday, were perfect. The sweet taste of the banana was balanced by the savory and spicy taste of the sambal roa.

The brenebon soup was delicious. It contain a generous amount of meat and tasty red beans.

Beautika is definitely a nice place to experience the various richness of Indonesian culinary heritage.

At The Buffalo you can get a feast of fried chicken, chicken wings, enourmous burger and of course chicken and waffles.

With #Tastebuddies, Bon(d) had a great meal here.

The chicken was juicy and tender, the waffle was soft. Unexpectedly to be a perfect pairing though those two came from a different world.

Bon(d) forgot to take pictures of the chicken wings, but believe me, they could give you a messy time but a fulfilling one.

Remboelan is one of the best place to go for upscale Indonesian cuisine. Their restaurant is very decent yet the food is still offered in the affordable price range.

Their interior which were mostly made of wood gave a fancy atmosphere. Wooden ornaments on the wall also reinforce the vibe.

They offer various Indonesian delicacy such as Soto Betawi, Sate, Nasi Goreng Jawa and many others. The variety of the menu they offer will give you a decision fatique, but don't worry though as all of the food they offer are delicious.

Remboelan also had options to replace rice with shirataki. For those who are cautious of their calories intake, this will make your lunch felt less sinful!

I had their Nasi Goreng Shirataki which tasted great. Definitely deserve another visit.

Warung Ngalam is a Malangnese restaurant in Jl. KH Wahid Hasyim. It is located just in front of a well known Japanese restaurant.

Warung Ngalam offers Malangnese cuisine loved by many. They offer Tahu Telor, Rawon, Asem Bandeng and many other interesting authentic food.

I had my Tahu Telor and Es Cendol for lunch today. The Tahu Telor came in a generous portion covered in vegetables and peanut. It also came with its signature sauce amplifying its taste.

Overall, the Front Room's great vibe and hospitality will definitely make you return for another meal!

Smaklek is a cute joint along the way to Kemang. Though they're selling Dutch food, I guarantee it's not the one you have in you mind right now. It's not poffertjes or bitterballen but Kapsalon, a kebab deconstructed. It's Dutch street food, though I believe it has middle eastern origin.

I had their regular size a few weeks ago. What came was a jumble of delicious food which consisted of a layer of french fries, beef, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and garlic sauce.

It tasted great! The perfect hangover food which has a crunchy texture from the vegetables, savory taste from the beef, fries, cheese and garlic sauce. Definitely a mash of taste to confuse your tastebuds.

The recently renovated Sarinah Building is a must visit building for you looking for a fresh ambiance. Though Sarinah has a lot of food tenants offering delicious food, Ny. Swan's Dapur Solo is one of the restaurant you must visit the first time.

The branch in Sarinah is not too spacious, however it does have a decent outdoor sections.

I had their Nasi Langgi Solo and a cup of tea. What came was an aesthetically pleasing dish cointaing a cone-shaped rice with fried chicken, beef floss, diced potato and many others

Overall, Nasi Langgi Solo was tasty!

Dua Nyonya is one of the coziest place to get lunch in Cikini vicinity. Their speciality is Indonesian food, all of their menu are something you would see being cooked in typical Indonesian household.

This restaurant is emanating vintage vibe with their decorations and interior. Having lunch here is like having lunch at your grandma's house in the village.

The food they offer are great. Their fried appetizers such as Tempe Mendoan and Bakwan Jagung are the guilty pleasures that are worth the calories.

I had my lunch here several time already. The one in the picture was Ayam Goreng Kalasan.

- Cheers!

Sate Khas Senayan is one of the best place to have Indonesian cuisine. Though its name has "Sate" in it, sate is not the only culinary delights they offer. They offer various traditional dishes almost from every part of Indonesia, from Nasi Bali, Nasi Liwet, Nasi Uduk, Nasi Bakar, Soto, Sop and many others.

This place is quite roomy though will only hold a limited amount of people due to Covid-19 health protocol restriction. It's usually almost full especially during lunch time.

I had their Nasi Liwet for lunch. What came was more than I had expected. The meal was presented beautifully. Though Nasi Liwet is a common meal, "Sate Khas Senayan" has managed to elevate the dish up several notch. The plating has made "Nasi Liwet" feels classy.

On the taste department, their "Nasi Liwet" was tasty and authentic. The elements combined beautifully.

Kopi Mbah Sirroh is located in one of the building in Cikini. Though in Cikini, Kopi Mbah Sirroh is quite a secluded. The facade of the building doen't make you think that they have a coffee shop inside, let alone a babershop just across of that coffee shop.

Mbah Sirroh has a fast wifi and also an ample amount of electricity plugs all over its place. It's not that spacious, however since no one really go there, it is the perfect place to do your work online.

I had their Vanilla Latte. The coffee tasted sweet with a strong vanilla flavor. Though the coffee was nothing special, the place was definitely worth it to visit if you're bored doing things at home.

- Cheers!
