 Hello food lovers! Kali ini gw cobain cafe baru di Grand Indonesia, yaitu Greyhound Cafe. Lagi hits nih karena baru buka di pertengahan September 2017 ini. Di social media udah mulai penuh sama foto-foto makanan dan cake lucu dari cafe asal Thailand ini. Gw pernah cobain Greyhound Cafe di Kuala Lumpur beberapa waktu lalu dan gw suka banget sama masakan di sana. Kalau mau lihat reviewnya silakan lihati di blog gw ya
Terletak di sebelah Olivier, Greyhound Cafe (tempatnya ex. Mad For Garlic) terlihat kecil di luar, tapi sebenarnya luas banget sampai ke belakang dan ada toilet khusus customer Greyhound. Siap-siap waiting list di saat lunch dan dinner di weekend ya, lebih bagus lagi jika kamu bisa reserve tempatnya. Ada area smoking dan non-smoking. Karena ramai dan males nunggu lama, gw pilih area smoking. Ternyata, area smoking laus banget dan ada exhaust juga. Jadi, asap rokoknya tidak terlalu mengepul dan bau. 
Sayangnya, service di sini lama. Jadi buat yang kelaperan, harap bersabar ya. Mungkin karena masih baru dan bagian kitchen masih belum siap. Dari 4 menu yang gw pesan, ada 1 menu yang gw tunggu hampir 1 jam baru keluar. Dari laper banget sampe mati rasa. 
1. Fried Chicken Wings (65k): Rasanya enak, teksturnya crispy. Agak oily, tapi masih bisa ditolerir. Cocok banget buat jadi cemilan selama nungguin main course dateng nih. Tpai, chciken wingnsya kecil dan kurus, ga kyk di foto.
2. Fusilli With Seafood Tom Yum (95k): This is Recommended by me! Porsinya bisa bikin gw kenyang, datangnya cepat, dan enak! Fusilinya dimasak dengan bumbu Tom Yum yang asem pedes gitu. Harum banget dan enak! Ditambah udang besar yang enak dan gurih.
3. Spaghetti with Corned Beef and Fresh Chilies (98k) 

Pas dateng, aromanya sedap beef banget, bikin laper! Shredded corned beef-nya banyak dan enak. Signature dish cafe ini. makannya juga light banget, ga oily juga. Sayangnya, dari segi harga, ga worth it sih! 
4. Crab Meat Fried Rice with a Twist (165k)

Shredded crab meatnya juga banyak banget. Pantes aja lama, suir dagingnya aja pasti lama. Rasanya lumayan enak, standard sih, di bawah ekspektasi kita ya. Makan crab rice nya pakai kuah sayur asin, pikles, dan cabe rawit kecap asin. Nasinya enak sih, pakai jasmine rice (ini yang bikin mahal karena harum dan pulen). 
5. Fresh Coconut Crepe Cake (72k) 

This is the infamous crepe cake on Instagram! So cute ♥ Tanduk-tanduknya adalah crepes kering yang super crispy. Mirip kripik manis. Crepe cakenya enak, dilapisi daging kelapa asli dan fresh crema yang ga manis. Must try!  
6. Thai Tea Granita (52k) 

Konsepnya unik. Soft ice rasa thai tea. Perlu effort juga sih untuk hancurin segelas esnya, tpai seru. Rasanya lumayan enak, khas Thai Tea dan ga terlalu manis. Cocok buat temen makan. 
7. Nom Yen Granita (52k): Konsepnya sama seperti Thai Tea Grnaita, tapi rasa strawberry. Warnanya cantik, pink! Menurut gw, rasanya kurang enak karena gw memang kurang suka strawberry, 
Overall, gw suka makan di Greyhound. Tempatnya bagus, tenang, dan makananya juga enak. Harganya termasuk pricey sih, jadi kalian harus cermat mau pilih menu yang mana. Foods & drinks nya enak dan menarik kok! Gw pengen ke sini lagi buat nyobain menu-menu lainnya. Menunya berbeda dari yang di Kuala Lumpur, harganya mirip-mirip sih. Tempatnya juga sama bagusnya. Selamat mencoba!

Hello October! Pizza E Birra has launched some new menus for welcoming the upcoming big event : Oktobeerfeast! Cheers for every hard work we done through this year! The event will be held at Piazza, Gandaria City on 14-15 October 2017.
There are 6 new menus from Pizza E Birra that you can have to celebrate the Oktobeerfeast!
1. Roasted Potatoes (45k)
The smell of sweet-burnt of roasted onion is so tempting. For me, this is a delicious dish for snack. The potatoes are roasted with the seasoning and well-mixed with the mayo sauce. Even the roasted onion are so good!
2. Sausage and Potatoes (55k)
The potatoes are roasted and mixed with the chicken sausage. Similar with the previous menu, but it is tastier and more rounded. The meaty flavor can be tasted from the sausage.
3. Chicken Schnitzel (79k)
The thinned chicken fillet is battered and fried (deep-fried), then served with the sauce and mashed potato, mushrooms, and salad. The chicken is so tender and tasted good, although a bit salty for me.
4. Beef Meatloaf (95k)
This is my favorite dish! The beef is so tender and delicious! Bite it like you bite a beef burger. The meat is juicy, meaty, and beefy. So good! One portion is quite big and could fulfill your hunger.
5. Appleberfest (49k)
The dessert is coming! Since I love sweet foods, I love this pastry! The sweet-sour taste from apple is well-blended with the sweetness of caramel and cinnamon from the crust. I like the balance flavor from this dessert, The crust is soft, but crispy. I can finish one whole portion by myself =p
6. Pretzel (free)
You can get the pretzel for free for every purchase of 1 Chicken Schnitzel/Beef Meatlof + 1 Kong Ludwig. The pretzel does not meet my expectation. The texture is quite hard and quite "rubbery". Too bad =( 

Overall, I enjoyed my day, tasting all these tasty foods for the Oktobeerfeast. I enjoyed eating the foods whilst listening to the Indie band. The music and ambience are good. Cheers for Oktobeerfeast!  

Hello food lovers! Ini udah ke-5 kalinya gw ke Botany resto karena semua keluarga gw doyan bgt makan di sini. Sebenernya pilihan menunya lbh sedikit dibandingkan buffet di hotel lain. Wajar sih karena harganya under 300k per pax. Enaknya di sini adalah menu pork (non-halal) yang ada di setiap hari Minggu. Hari ini menunya pork leg soup, crispy pork belly (enak bgt!), dan roasted pork with BBQ sauce. Ada juga Japanese section : Udon (enak bgt), fish  with lemon sauce, dan chicken kobayaki (ayamnya empuk, sausnya manis gurih, enak bgt dan gw makan 6 potong).
Dessertnya juga banyak. Gw sih suka bread butter pudding dan chocolate cake. Kadang ada apple pie, enak juga tuh. Main course nya ada udang telor asin dan udang mayo. Salad barnya standard ya dan sayurnya fresh. Ice cream section selalu antri karena banyak pilihan es krim dan toppingnya.
Overall, makan di sini termasuk worth it ya karena ga mahal dan kalian bisa makan sepuasnya dari jam 12-15 (lunch). Kenyang banget!
Selamat mencoba!

Hello foodies! Kali ini gw ke Noctrunal cafe untuk nongkrong sama temen2 gw sample lewat tengah malem. Tempatnya cantik dan ada butik di depannya. Ternyata, yg punya Nocturnal itu temen mamanya temen gw (what a small world).
Ownernya fashion designer gitu, makanya dress2nya cantik dan tempatnya juga cantik. Ambiencenya juga enak buat nongkrong dan ngobrol2. Karena udah malem ke sananya, kita cuma makan dikit dan tea party aja.
1. Truffle Triple mushroom : creamy pasta dengan truffle di atasnya. Lumayan enak tapi kurang special ya.
2. Honey Berry Tea
Aroma berry nya enak tapi body nya kurang. Kayak minum air pake pewangi gitu. Seems like  the tea leaves were too few. Sayhang banget, padahal aromanya enak
3. Pomegranate Green
Yg ini agak asem, fruity note khas pomegranate dengan base green tea. Lumayan enak
4. Green tea sencha
Gw suka bgt green tea dan di sini green teanya seger walau kurang pekat. Gw suka bgt ini karena tehnya light dan fresh.

Overall, makanan dan minuman di sini biasa aja sih. Servicenya agak lama ya 
Tapi gw suka sama tempatnya. Cantik tapi ga berlebihan. Cocoklah baut nongkrong2.
Selamat mencoba!

Hello foodies! During the long weekend, my friends and I decided to spend our holiday in Twin House, Cipete, South Jakarta. The place is so instagramable with two identical yellow houses side by side. The area is not so big (it is so different from Instagram, though) and there is a space for picnic in the house yard! We were so exciting taking pictures outside and inside the house. 

The house is not so spacious. Luckily, Twin House gave me the most instagramable corner! The corner is cute and there is a small swing at the corner. 

The Foods and drinks are good, especially the Nakula Iced Coffee and Sadewa Iced Coffee. The difference between them is :

Nakula Coffee has hazelnut flavoured milk to be mixed with the iced cubed coffee. For me, the aroma and taste of the hazelnut are not detected when you mix the milk with the cubes. When you drink it, you will taste the creamy, milky, and the sweetness of the coffee. 

Sadewa coffee is the 'twin' of Nakula. The concept is same with Nakula. However, Sadewa coffee has caramel cinnamon flavoured milk. You can see the cinnamon powder on the surface of the milk. The smell of cinnamon is quite strong and when you mix the milk with the coffee cubes, you will taste the cinnamon. The coffee is well-blended with the cinnamon milk. The iced coffee is good if you like cinnamon.

Since I don't like cinnamon, I prefer the Nakula Coffee. 

For the Food, we ordered 2 Asian Menus and 3 Western Menus : 

1. Dory Salsa Matah:  The appearance is like common Indonesian food, consists of rice, sunny egg, bakwan, and fried dory with sambal matah on top. The sambal matah is quite good, the more you eat it, you will sense the hotness. For me, the taste is quite tasty and the portion is enough for fulfilling your hunger. 
2. Nasi Kebon with Churry Chicken Katsu :  The taste is so-so, not my favorite. 
3. Penne Alfredo Sauce with Salmon:  too creamy and too milky, like carbonara sauce.
4. Penne with Animal Sauce:
The penne is cooked with bolognese sauce. Better this one than the former one. For me, the dish is so-so, nothing special. 
5. Monterey Chicken:   I did not take the picture because this dish took so long to be served. The taste is quite delicious. The chicken is perfectly grilled with the melted mozzarella on top of it. This one is my favorite!  

Overall, Twin House is a very good place for celebrating important moments; enjoying your time with your friends and family, or you can spend your time with your loved ones. The foods are not as good as I expected and the price is quite pricey. However, the iced cubed coffee is so good! For once in a lifetime, you can spend your weekend in Twin House. You can try the picnic spot to enjoy the nature and good ambience. Better to reserve  2 weeks before the Day (it was so crowded very weekends).

Hello food lovers! Dinner rame2 paling cocok di Huang Ji Huang nih. Ada berbagai macam daging dan saus yg bisa kamu pilih sendiri. Pancinya besar, cocok untuk 4-6 orang karena porsinya jumbo. Dagingnya banyak, trus ada aneka sayuran dan bawang pas masak dagingnya. Ada onion, garlic, kiche (herbal darii cina spt kismis), paprika hijau, paprika merah, ubi manis, dsb. Sepanci ini isinya daging paha ayam semua sih yg gw pesan karena temen2 gw ada yg ga makan daging dan ga makan seafood. Menu vegetarian juga ada loh, isinya jamur semua, tp kalo gw pesen jamur, gw bisa ikut2an jadi vegetarian!
Gw pake saus Mala level 2 pedesnya. Servicenya bagus, cepat, dan dimasak sama waiternya sampe matang. Mala sauce adalah saus pedas, oily, dari China. Pas kegigit rempah mala nya (bentuknya bulat2 kecil seperti lada/andaliman), lidah gw mati rasa, pedes banget, ga enak di lidah. Tapi rasa pedesnya enak sih dan ayamnya jadi berasa enak. 
Overall, makan di Huang Ji Huang ditemenin old-Chinese song, bikin makanannya jadi berasa autentik dengan masakan di China : pedas, gurih, berminyak. arga sepanci makanan berkisar mulai dari 235ribu (belum termasuk tax & service). Kalo diliat emang agak mahal, tapi porsinya banyak banget dan emang harus sharing. 
Buat yg penasaran, silakan mencoba!
