1st FoodBaldy Review at Bakmi Pontianak Ahai Gading Serpong

1. Bakmi Pontianak - 3/5
It's just an usual Pontianak boiled noodle toped with soy sauce minced chicken, fishballs, slices of fishcake, shrimp and fried dumpling, also accompanied with broth soup. It just tastes okay and has nothing special. I expect it more like original Pontianak noodle but it isn't.

2. Kwetiau Pontianak - 2/5
It's basically boiled kwetiau / horfun with the same topping as the noodle. It's disappointing because the texture of the kwetiau is mushy. They should use original Pontianak kwetiau to make it tastier and similar to the one in that West Borneo city.

Foods - 2.5/5 - The noodle is better than the kwetiau but still it's not a real taste of Pontianak noodle.

Atmosphere - 3.5/5 - It's a brand new food place in town. It's clean and it is similar to the other noodle place but nothing more.

Service - 3/5 - They serve fast but it seems that they don't really know how to explain their products to their customers

Price - $ (Low) - The price is still reasonable but they should have a better taste.

Overall - 3/5 - It is okay and it should be great but they really need to improve the taste. They should make it more Pontianak.

1st FoodBaldy Review at Bourbon Cafe Mall @ Alam Sutera

1. Premium Wagyu Steak - 3.5/5
It's not too thick wagyu steak accompanied with french fries, sautéed veggies and two pieces of bread with butter. It should be special but it's not even it tastes good. They should make it more premium like its name if you know what I meant.

2. The Carnivore - 1.5/5
I think it's the worst burger around. The bun is hard and the feeling is not helping at all too. The fries helps a little bit but it still just a fries. It's not recommended even if you are burger lovers.

3. Triple Nachos. - 4/5
This side dish consists of nachos and potato chips with special meat and bean sauce. It tastes better than the main dish and make sure you don't order it alone because it's quite a big bowl.

4. Naughty Fries - 3.5/5
These fries are very naughty together, consist of shoestring fries, curly fries and onion. Again, it should be good but it is lacked of crispiness and it's too oily.

5. Mille Feuille with Ovomaltine Cream Cheese - 1/5
It's disappointed. This dessert really have a bad taste and leave a bad flavor kind of thing in your mouth. I don't know why but it may have something wrong about it.

6. Honey Lemon Tea - 4/5
It's an usual good honey and lemon tea. At least they use fresh lemon slice and few drops of real honey make it tastes sweetly good.

Foods and Beverage - 3/5 - The side dishes are better than the main dishes and they have selections of coffee that supported by Tanamera which tastes great.

Atmosphere - 4/5 - You can choose to sit inside or some open space terrace. It's not too big restaurant but they have some good vintage design around.

Service - 4/5 - Some are quite hospitable and know how to serve their guests by recommending this restaurant's favorite dishes.

Price - $$ (Mid to High) - The price is still good for that quite big portion.

Overall - 3.5/5 - I am not sure about their main dishes but you can enjoy few side dishes with a cup of great coffee or tea, surrounded by good vintage design inside or just fresh air outside.

1st FoodBaldy Review at Fat Cow Hotpot by Tang's Chinese Cuisine Gading Serpong

1. Hot Pot - 4.5/5
What makes it different than other restaurant is their specialty soup based. They have various great choices of soup based. I choose the beef broth one and it tastes so good along with the filling like meatballs, fishballs, and some fresh mushrooms and veggies. It's maybe one of the best hotpot in town.

2. Szechuan Chicken - 2.5/5
It's a chicken dish made by sautéing chicken with various kinds of chili peppers. It tastes okay actually but it's too hot. The chili flavor is stronger than the chicken itself. One more thing, the portion is too small.

Foods - 3.5/5 - They have some selections of soup based and ala carte menu. For me, the soup based menu is greater than the ala carte menu. They also have a bar that serve free porridge, puddings and rojak (Indonesian traditional fruit salad).

Atmosphere - 3.5/5 - It's a typical Chinese restaurant. The place itself is quite big and not too crowded. They also have booked room for small gathering.

Service - 3.5/5 - They are not really hospitable but they are still good on serving their guests. They should be better for a high class restaurant thought.

Price - $$$ (High) - I think it's overprice. It's too expensive for just a small portion of the dishes.

Overall - 3.5/5 - It's an overprice but great hotpot in town. Just pay attention for what you order because they don't state the price at the new menu. ;)
