Recently checked out 'Apron Cafe' in Jakarta, and wow, it's a total gem! This place is seriously cute and cozy, and they've put a ton of effort into making it look fantastic.

The menu is pretty diverse, with both savory and sweet stuff. I decided to go for their rose pasta, shrimp pasta, and some french fries. The pasta portions were pretty darn good – not too small. They tasted decent, but what really got me excited was the side salad it was fresh and top-notch, and their french fries was pretty nice though.

I also tried their choco cookies once, and they were huge, but honestly, just okay in the taste department. But the real winner here is their honey lemon drink. It's so refreshing and tasty!

Price-wise, it's in line with what you'd expect at a cafe in the area. But what sets 'Apron Cafe' apart is the effort they put into the decor. Each room has a different vibe, and it's all Instagram-worthy. If you're looking for a chill place to grab a bite or snap some cute pics, 'Apron Cafe' is where it's at!

Suffice to say, my experience at Ichisan Ramen was fantastic. I had the pleasure of trying their signature ramen (without bean sprouts), and what surprised me was that I didn't need to reach for any additional condiments like soy sauce, chili oil, or chili powder. The flavors were incredibly robust and satisfying on their own. The toppings on the ramen were a real highlight – tender and bursting with flavor. The only aspect that I found to be somewhat basic was the noodle itself. 

Aside from the ramen, the corn ribs were a delightful surprise, and I couldn't get enough of the menchi chicken (I believe that's the name). They truly nailed the flavors here. Plus, they offer free refills for ocha. Their pricing was pretty okay thoo, kayak standard harga ramen sewajarnya. 

The restaurant itself is quite spacious, and when I visited during the weekend for lunch, it was bustling with customers. Despite the crowd, the waitlist was reasonably short, not even exceeding 10 minutes. The service at Ichisan Ramen was also top-notch.

In a nutshell, Ichisan Ramen offers a memorable dining experience with their flavorful dishes and efficient service.

My sister highly recommended this place, so I couldn't resist giving it a try, and it definitely lived up to my expectations. I ordered a bento with chicken nanban and gyoza, and the flavors were simply outstanding. The chicken nanban was a standout for me; I absolutely loved it! My sister ordered the butadon, and after taking a bite, I'm convinced it'll be my choice on my next visit. It's packed with flavor and incredibly tender; I can hardly wait to have it again. 😍 They have a diverse menu, and I'm eager to try their ramen next, given my sister's rave reviews.

In terms of pricing, it's a tad on the expensive side, but I'd say it's worth every penny! The only aspect that left me wanting a bit more was the ambiance. The restaurant is visually appealing, but for some reason, it didn't quite achieve that cozy feel. Perhaps it's because it's situated alongside a bustling road, making it feel a bit cramped. Nevertheless, it's a minor quibble in the grand scheme of things. 

Overall, Menya Ichiza delivers on delectable food and is definitely a spot I'd recommend, i just wish they would open more branches, so more people could enjoy this fantastic food.

Akses ke Em Gelato gampang banget soalnya dia deket pintu keluar MRT Blok M, jadi kalau misal gapunya kendaraan lumayan membantu. Awalnya ga berharap banyak sama eskrimnya dan cuma dateng karena tempatnya lucu. Tapi ternyata gelatonya enaaak! I can say one of my favorite gelate. Aku pesen yang bacio dan blueberry yogurt, i love it so so much dan harganya juga termasuk murah lah reasonable, 38k dapet 2 scoop. 

Tempatnya agak kecil gitu dan rame jadi bisa ga dapet tempat duduk, tapi kemarin sih aku gak nunggu lama udah dapet tempat duduk. Pelayanannya juga cepet dan baik, bisa coba dulu rasanya sebelum beli kayak toko gelato umumnya. Must try sih!<3

I've seen this ramen all over tiktok and reels, honestly i'm not visually attracted to this one, but becase it has been showing a lotttt on my fyp, i gotta try it. Kata orang-orang tempatnya rame banget dan waiting list sejaman lebih, jadi maju mundur mau nyobain yang di serpong, kebetulan kemaren ke sekitar blok m jadi cobain aja deh yang di kamaja. Aku dateng hari jumat siang sekitar jam 11 dan untungnya ga waiting list, jadi langsung masuk dan dapet tempat duduk lesehan. Honestly tempatnya lucu banget, vibe dan dekorasi jepangnya dapett. 

Aku dan temen-temen aku cobain Hotto Ramen, Roji Ramen (mie merah), Kuro Ramen, Kare Ramen, dan Fried Gyoza. Rasanya enak semua, kuahnya ga terlalu thick dan creamy, tapi tetep rich kerasa gurihnya. Kuro Ramen rasanya gurih dominan asin, dan ga too much. Kalo yang hotto ga terlalu pedes sih tapi somehow for me terlalu menohok di tenggorokan, yang kare kuahnya enak juga, untuk yang mie merah kayaknya gaada bedanya deh sama mie original, gak pedes. Gyozanya dapet 4 biji ada 2 pilihan fried sama grill, pas nyobain udah keburu dingin soalnya makan terakhir, tapi tetep enak sih.

Untuk harga, menurut aku standar sih kayak ramen pada umumnya sekitar 30-40ribu (belum termasuk PPN dan service). Pelayanannya ramah dan cepat, ocha juga bisa refill. Tempatnya juga cute banget deh apalagi yang lesehan (tapi dingin bangett karena deket AC). Secara keseluruhan semuanya bagus sih, makanan, pelayanan, harga, dan suasana, pantes aja sampe waiting list karena emang bagus! Aku recommended banget! One of my favorite ramen 

Penasaran banget pengen cobain mie terkenal yang baru buka cabang di Jakarta, dari parkiran aja langsung keliatan rame banget dan waktu masuk antrinya panjang banget tapi cuma bisa takeaway, untuk dine-innya harus waiting list.

Walaupun antriannya lumayan panjang, tapi menurut aku pelayanannya lumayan cepet, waktu antri langsung ditanyain dan dicatet mau pesen menu apa aja, jadi di kasir tinggal bayar. Untuk antrinya sekitar 20 menitan dan tunggu makanannya sekitar 15 menit, lumayan cepet lah untuk antrian sepanjang itu. 

Next, untuk mienya aku pesen mie iblis level 1, tipe mienya preference sih, tapi personally i prefer mie keriting kayak bakmi, tapi untuk bumbunya enak dan pedesnya oke dan pangsitnya enaaak isinya fulll. Dimsum-dimsumnya juga enak semuaa, dagingnya kerasa gak kebanyakan tepung. Menurut aku paling enak siomay > udang keju > udang rambutan. 

In conclusion, overall enak sih worth it banget harga segitu. Mienya Rp10.000 dan dimsumnya Rp9.100 dapet 3 pcs (harga belum termasuk PPN). Semoga cabangnya makin banyak biar antrinya ga rame-rame banget dan bisa dine-in hehehe.
