4.6Caffe Milano [ Thamrin, Italia ]
Milano's new menu
Recently, Caffe Milano just anounce their new menuĀ consist of pasta, pizza, and dessert. And I was very lucky to got a chance to try their new menu with other foodies. Upon entering the restaurant, the yellow canopy was definetely give a very strong first impression. The yellow canopy was choosen to give a vibrant, happy, and delightful ambience to it but turn out to affecting the photo lighting... a lot (everything turn to yellow).
We were first served with 2 kind of salad which is House Special Salad and Caesar Salad. There was plenty of cheese slice and crouton on top of Caesar Salad. Lettuce was crunchy and fresh, just the way I like it. Didn't got a chance to try the other one, but it look more colorful from more vegetable variance.
The course continued with Chicken Croquette, 3 piece of croquette served on a bed of tomato sauce and salad. First bite into it was mind blowing, it was creamy, milky, and cheesy at the right amount. I'm diggin' it! Fried perfectly without leaving oily after-taste.
We then continued to a performance by the waitress. A big parmesan cheese wheel was present, the waitress put the hot risotto on top of it and stir the risotto inside the parmesan wheel. Saw this a lot in instagram, it was interesting to see how the cheese stick to the hot risotto and enchance the overall taste. There are some other pasta option too that you can try from the parmesan-wheel-series. I also tried the Tagliatelle and Pesto Spagetti, but I like the Risotto the most.
Before they serve the next course, a plate of fried seafood was served. This is one of the seasonal menu they have currently, consist of 3 big piecemof fried prawn, with fried calamary, fried small fish (which unfortunately I don't know what exactly), and fried vege. I don't really ate prawn, but the calamary was tender. Chef squished the lemon for us, and make it taste even better with that tangy taste.
Moving on to next course, 3 kind of Pizza was served. Start from Hawaian Pizza, which I really like since I find the combinantion of pineapple + pizza is heaven match. Meat Lover, contain a lot of ham on top of it. And the main star Truffle Pizza, omg I'm drooling. Unlike any other pizza, they use creamy spinach instead of regular tomato sauce. Then they put truffle on top and poached egg in the center. It taste gooooood. I'm not a fan of strong truffle smell, so this menu fit me.
We ended our meal with 2 dessert, Expresso Creme Brulee and Lemon Meringue Cake. Since I don't drink or eat coffee based food, I will skip the Expresso. The Lemon Meringue Cake was unique, get yourself a little of cake, meringue, and raspberry sauce, then you'll set for it. It taste sweet and sour. It was a perfect ending for the lunch.
I order Vanilla Sesame Milkshake, and I'm totally loving it. Vanilla taste was strong enough with a subtle taste of sesame and some real sesame seed in it. Unique but worth to try.
Service was excellent as well, will comeback for their Chicken Croquette and Truffle Pizza!Harga per orang: Rp. 100.000 - Rp. 200.000Makasih Infonya!Kamu belum login, klik di sini.3 pembaca berterima kasih.

4.6Fish Streat [ Pondok Indah, Barat ]
Best cheapest fish and chip
Came here for dinner, and suprisingly it wasn't as crowded as I expected. Tempatnya kecil mungil, hanya cukup menampung kira-kira 20 orang indoor dan 10 orang outdoor. Since masih sepi, langsung pesen deh.
Fish & Melted Cheese Pasta
The size of the fish was big, the fried batter was good too. Cuman kaya ikannya ngga pure dori deh, karena kaya ada yang tekstur dan warnanya kaya ikan tuna? But anyway, it still taste good, fresh, and juicy. Teknik gorengnya udah bener, ngga berminyak dan crunchy. Pastanya juga al dente, kejunya banyak dan melting gitu huaaah ngiler pas lagi ngetik ini.
Seafood Platter (small)
Cuman nyobain nasi kari nya, rasa currynya cukup strong dan ada kismisnya juga di nasinya. Porsinya cukup besar buat sendiri.
Harganya bener-bener terjangkau semua di sini. Makanannya juga enak dan berkualitas despite the price. Pelayanannya juga oke, cepat, dan ramah. Pas pesen, di warn dulu sama masnya kalo yg melted cheese agak lama jadinya, tapi cepet juga kok. Malah lebih cepet daripada seafood platter. We came home feeling VERY full.Harga per orang: < Rp. 50.000Makasih Infonya!Kamu belum login, klik di sini.

3.0Pablo [ Gandaria, Toko Kue ]
Don't expect anything
I tried their cheese tart before it open their branch in Jakarta. I tried Pablo in Seoul for the first time, and I find their cheese tart mediocore. Since then, I don't feel the urge to try it again, plus I heard the queue was crazy.
Luckily, one day my auntie bought 2 pablo cheese tart (for 370k) and share it with me. The original cheese tart have no cheese taste at all. It taste like an original custard egg tart. I'm not a fan of their crust either. Overall, it taste super biasa. Didn't worth the price and queue. And by the way, it taste the same with the one I tried in Seoul.
Meanwhile for the matcha tart, the matcha taste is more subtle. There's also a layer of red bean and plain mochi. I personaly always like the combination of red bean, mochi, and matcha. Compare to the original tart, this one is more worth to buy.
If you haven't try Pablo, don't expect a strong cheese flavor. Basicily just lower your expectation, then you'll be fine. Would I repurchase? No.Harga per orang: < Rp. 50.000Makasih Infonya!Kamu belum login, klik di sini.2 pembaca berterima kasih.

4.8Icida [ Slipi, Jepang ]
Good sashimi
Saw their menu and suddenly got an urge to eat sashimi. So, I came here specially to eat sushi. The ambience was nice. We were the only guest there during that time. We order some rolls and one meal package.
Nagasaki Roll
I was really tempted with the menu photo. The avocado on top is definetely the main reason why I was tempting. It doesn't came out as good as the photo but it was creamy and sweet, goes really well with the sushi rice. The size of prawn tempura inside was inconsistent. But overall, it taste good.
Tuna Crispy Mentai Roll
The price tag was suprisingly kinda cheap. Well, it actually make sense compare to the size of the rolls. The mentai sauce was rather mediocore, and too mayo-heavy. Still like it tho'. I'm such a sucker for mayo-sushi type of roll.
Salmon Sashimi
Served in a cocktail glass, it looks... expensive lol. To my surprise it taste fresh, fatty, buttery, and delicious. The price was also really affordable, it's only cost 20k for 3 thick slice of goodness.
Meal Package A (Chicken Butter Ginger)
It consist of main course, pasta cooked in butter ginger sauce with chicken on top. Theres a strong ginger taste from the sauce. If you like ginger then go for it. Pasta was cooked perfectly, chicken was juicy too.
The meal package also came with california roll which kinda mediocore. BUT, the sushi rice was all good tho'. Some review said they have it bad, I guess they have improve yes.
Mash potato taste like fridge lol. They kept it in fridge for too long. It also consist of salmon sashimi which is yasssh good. And closed with dessert, vanilla ice cream which for me was mediocore too.
Overall, their sashimi was worth to try. Im not sure, but that would also mean that their other salmon sushi roll are worth to try too. Service was good, meal come one by one, but still rather fast.Harga per orang: Rp. 50.000 - Rp. 100.000Makasih Infonya!Kamu belum login, klik di sini.1 pembaca berterima kasih.

4.2Thai I Love You [ Slipi, Thailand ]
Kinda ok
Was strolling around CP, and finally decided to have thai food for lunch. They have quite a variant menu from appetizer to dessert. Most of the table was occupied, sign it a good restaurant. Am I right?
Pandan Chicken
My boyf must-order-menu in Thai restaurant. It came in 3 piece of chicken, which I kinda wonder why they choose to serve it in 3 piece. But anyway, the chicken was juicy, quite big, and the pandan add the flavor to it. And it's not too oily either.
Tom Yam Goong
It was kinda a so-so menu. It taste like a regular tomyam that I can find anywhere else. The filling was kinda swimming to (not too many). It's refreshing but nothing special.
Pineapple Fried Rice
My favorite! Served in a half cut pineapple, instagramable right? The portion was quite fulling too. But, I still think there's not enough pineapple flesh in the fried rice.
Overall, we had a good meal. But still lacking here and there. The bill came out a little bit pricey too for the amount of food we order. Will came back? Probably, if they have promotion.Harga per orang: Rp. 50.000 - Rp. 100.000Makasih Infonya!Kamu belum login, klik di sini.

3.6Nasi Juara [ Cempaka Putih, Indonesia ]
Nasi kucing yang ngga kucing banget
Was received this cute packaged of nasi kuning from office event. It look small and handy, but it actually contain plentiful of rice. Yang saya makan namanya nasi makmur. Isinya nasi kuning, ayam, tempe bacem, teri, telor dadar, dan sambel. Sambelnya ada levelnya, dan imo sambelnya ngga pedes.
Nasinya pulen dan medok banget bumbu-bumbunya. Ayamnya easy to suwir, even pake sendok plastik. Saya ngga suka teri so I exclude it from my bowl. Tempe bacem was delicious, I always had my heart for tempe bacem.
Unfortunately, my friend nemu ulet kecil di kotaknya. Jadi bikin jijik dan enek. But at the end, tetep makan sampe habis sih hehe. Saran saya sih, lebih diperhatiin aja kebersihannya.

5.0Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart [ Pondok Indah, Toko Kue ]
Heaven on tart
Selama ini seringnya beli Hokkaido Baby, so when this stall open I immediately pay a visit to try their cheese tart. Dayum it looks so tempting.
Yes compare to Hokkaido Baby, their crust was thicker and crunchier. But the filling was still full, gooey, cheesy, creamy, everything was perfect. I fall in love. This stall definetely suit my taste bud better.
For 1 tart, you have to spend 20k which is worth every penny since it was fulling and satisfying.Harga per orang: < Rp. 50.000Makasih Infonya!Kamu belum login, klik di sini.

4.8TGI Fridays [ Pondok Indah, Barat ]
Fav lunch place
TGIF! Literally went on friday, lol. They offer variant range of lunch menu with such an affordable price, came with a choice of mineral water or tea. It was quite crowded, almost fully seated. Here's what I tried:
Dragonfly Whitefish
Just remember that I actually order this menu too before in another branch. Sigh, kinda wish I order their soft taco. Fish size was big, boneless, baked with skin on, with orange sauce (there's real orange pulp on it). It taste sweet, a bit sour&spicy, fresh, and juicy. Love the brocolli (seriously good).
BBQ Baked Chicken
The chicken itself was quite dry. But the taste was good tho'. Portion was huge too. Mash potato was on point! Creamy and milky, just the way I like.
Place was comfy and service was good. Definetely will add TGIF to my go-to-lunch place.Harga per orang: Rp. 50.000 - Rp. 100.000Makasih Infonya!Kamu belum login, klik di sini.

4.6Monolog [ Pondok Indah, Kafe ]
Gyutan was good
Was here to have lunch, place was kinda crowded. Initially want to sit near the window but it was fully seated. It's okay tho', it's still comfortable nonetheless. Here's what I tried:
Gyutan Kimchi Don
Came in a large round bowl, portion was rather enough for woman. Not sure if it will satisfied man hunger tho'. I like the overall taste. There's a nice kick of spiciness from the kimchi, rice was in a good consistency too. The Gyutan was a bit smelly in first 2 bite, but the more I eat it the better it taste. And there's plenty of it too. Satisfying.
Smoked Duck Slice and Potato Rice Gratin
First thing first, it was like sooo creamy. There's probably only 6 or 7 slices of smoked duck. It taste salty, goes along with the sweet creamy rice potato gratin. Still prefer the Gyutan tho'.
Caramel Cheese Cake
My bf choose this for dessert. It came with a big whip cream on top of a thin layer of caramel (actually it was kinda thick), and below it there's the cheese cake and cookie crust. It was too sweet for me. But for those who such a fan of caramel. Go try this!
Service was good and fast. Would definetely comeback for their Gyutan.Harga per orang: Rp. 50.000 - Rp. 100.000Makasih Infonya!Kamu belum login, klik di sini.

4.0Bing Go [ Pondok Indah, Dessert ]
Fusion Korean Food
Located near xxi and uniqlo, they offer various kind of korean food. Came early, just right at the opening time jadi kaya masi banyak yang belom disiapin. It took around 20minutes until everything served on the table. Here's what I tried:
Chicken Jampong
Which is weird karena biasanya jampong itu isinya seafood. It taste like spicy ramen. The noodle was thicker than reguler ramen tho'. And the texture was chewy which I like. It consist a lot of vege, I was expecting more chicken meat.
Bulddak Chicken
So, bulddak is the korean spicy sauce (yang dipake di samyang). I thought it's gonna be spicy chicken with melted cheese dipping. Well, it turn out to be (kinda like samyang) noodle with melted cheese and shreded chicken on top. It taste good, since samyang itself was delicious already. The cheese add creaminess to it.
Yachae Twigim
Or gorengan sayur kalo di terjemahkan secara harafiah. And it came out to be bakwan bala-bala. It was crispy and delicious tho'.
Panda Bingsoo (small)
Consist of shreded milky ice and cover with oreo crush. It was good and refreshing. The ice was smooth and not too sweet.
Overall, I had a pretty good experience with Bing Go, will pay a visit when they have promotion since it's kinda pricey to eat noodle with 50k+ price. The service was a little bit lacking, but ambience was good with kpop song playing on repeat.Harga per orang: < Rp. 50.000Makasih Infonya!Kamu belum login, klik di sini.1 pembaca berterima kasih.
