Hello Indomie lovers! Indomie memang menjadi favorite penduduk Indonesia, mulai dari kalangan mengenah ke bawah hingga kalangan atas; mulai dari anak kecil hingga dewasa. Kini, Indomie dijual oleh berbagai pedagang kaki lima hingga cafe. Indomie kekinian juga menjadi populer di social media, mulai dari Indomie pedas dengan level bertingkat hingga Indomie dengan berbagai topping menarik.
Salah satu cafe kekinian yang menyajikan Indomie sebagai menu utamanya adalah Warunk Upnormal. 

Tidak hanya Indomie, Warunk Upnormal juga menyediakan berbagai cemilan menarik dan juga dessert. 
1. Indomie Upnromal 
Ini nih signature dish dari Warunk Upnormal. Indomie kuahnya dikasih racikan bumbu khusus, susu cair, dan sedikit margarin biar kuahnya gurih dan nagih seperti itu. Toppingnya smoked beef yang katanya dibuat sendiri oleh owner Warunk Upnormal-nya. Must try! 
2. Indomie Goreng Telur Asin 
Salted Egg emang lagi hype ya dan tentunya Indomie pas banget dimasak dengan telur asin. Rasnaya creamy, buttery, dan telor asinnya juga harum. Toppingnya pakai smoked beef. Lumayan nih buat supper. 
3. Cireng Pandawa with Special Sauce 
Gw suka banget pesen cireng ini tiap kali ke Warunk Upnormal! Cireng memang selalu enak, gurih, garing, dan bikin nagih. Apalagi ditambah saus pedes (mirip saus pempek), enak banget! Cobain ya! 
4. Roti Bakar Nutella 
Roti bakar di sini gede loh! Ada 2 lembar roti bakar yang dilapisi Nutella. Kalo baut 1 orang sih eneg ya menurut gw, pasnya buat disharing 2-3 orang. 
5. Roti Bakar Coklat Keju 
Roti bakarnya ada 2 lembar, yang 1 diolesi margarine + meses dan yang lainnya diolesi margarin + keju parut. Menurut gw, makan ini ga terlalu eneg karena kejunya lebih asin. Satu porsi bisa untuk 2-3 orang. 
6. Avocado with Mango Pudding 
Gw selalu pesen avocado karena gw suka banget alpukat kerok. Toppingnya bisa kamu pilih sesukamu. Gw pilih mango pudding yang lagi hype. Ternyata, rasanya biasa aja :( Agak kecewa sih, tapi gw kenyang makan 1 porsi avocado ini. Enaknya, dessert ini ga terlalu manis dan pas banget buat gw yang ga terlalu suka manis. 
7. Baso Sapi Bakar
Selain cireng, ada juga baso sapi bakar untuk cemilan sambil ngobrol dan main bareng temen. Honestly, menurut gw biasa aja sih basonya, tapi ya lumayan sih buat ganjel perut kalo kamu ga terlalu lapar.

Overall, Warunk Upnormal menyediakan tempat nongkrong kekinian untuk anak muda. Untuk makanan, cukup variatif, tapi rasanya so-so. Dessertnya lumayan enak. Place & ambience nya juga cukup OK untuk nongkrong lama-lama. Harganya agak pricey si tapi masih terjangkau kok. 
Selamat mencoba!

Hello food lovers! The People's Cafe (TPC) or "Warung Orang-Orang", a cafe form Ismaya group which brings street foods to the next level, has launched new variety of contemporary global street food to be served and enjoyed with cozy ambience. You can now try these cuisines at all outlet of The People's Cafe in Jakarta!
1. Ayam Geprek Jumbo (Crunched Chicken Jumbo) 
TPC serves 6 varieties of Ayam Geprek with some sambal selection and cheese as the toppings :  Ayam Geprek Jumbo Keju, Ayam Geprek Jumbo Sambal Limo, Ayam Geprek Jumbo Sambal Ijo, Ayam Geprek Jumbo Sambal Bawang, Ayam Geprek Jumbo Sambal Ijo Special, and Ayam Geprek Jumbo Sambal Merah Special. The plus point of the ayam geprek from TPC is the big size of portion and generous amount of sambal! For me, the hotness level is still tolerable for some of them. My favorite is Ayam Geprek Jumbo Sambal Bawang since the shallot aroma is good, combined with the tasty and crunchy of the fried chicken. If you dare to try the spiciest menu, you can try Ayam Geprek Sambal ijo Special. Unlike most of sambal ijo, this one is very spicy and I cried when I ate the chili!
2. Chicken & Tofu Clear Soup
Besides the street foods, TPC also serves chicken & tofu clear soup as the healthier choice. It consists of chicken, mushroom, and tofu with clear chicken broth base. This warm soup is a perfect choice for your appetizer before having the spicy Ayam Geprek.
3. Nasi Mawut
Nasi Mawut is a local street food form Java. It is a rice combined with noodle and served with chicken as toppings (similar to Nasi Magelangan). TPC serves Nasi Mawut to the next level. The steamed rice is combined with black charcoal noodle and tempting sunny side egg. The black noodle is tasty, perfectly well paired with the egg. The meat between the rice and the noodle is also tasted good.
4. Hot China Chix
Chicken wings are also got hype in town. TPC serves spicy chicken wings instead of any other regular chicken wings. This Hot China Chix is delicious, with chili, leek, garlic, and also ginger sprinkles. The chicken wings are crunchy, tender, and juicy. Tasty, salty, spicy, and savoury.
5. Hot Texas Chix
This chicken wings are made with spicy sauce. The coriander, parsley, and paprika powder have made this Hot Texas Chix even more flavourfull and spicy. So far, I like this chicken wings even though I'm not a fan of chicken wings.
6. Twisted Nachos
This is my favorite snack from TPC. The beef and the nachos are perfectly combined with cheese sauce and the seasoning. Spicy, savoury, and meaty. Recommended!
7. Crispy Cireng
Cireng is the most favorite fritters and now, you can have them in TPC! The texture is chewy, crunchy, and tasted good! Dip them with the chili dipping sauce to make it perfect!
8. Fried Tofu Basket
The soft tofu is battered and fried. Eat it with sweet soy sauce and chili. Get addicted with the soft texture of tofu and crispy from the outside.
Overall, The People's Cafe offers you a variety of global street food with affordable price and brings the local street cuisines to the next level. The taste is good and serves with good hygiene. Try them now!

Hello dessert lovers! Kali ini gw cobain lagi Omija pas ke Aeon JGC. Lokasi di G floor dan bersebelahan dengan Popolamama. Cafe berkonsep Korea ini memiliki muffin donut yg unik dan banyak rasa. Gw cobain hampir semua rasa yg ada di sana. Yg gw suak adalah Taro (ungu), Nutella, Ovomaltine, Sausage, dan Tuna. Khusus yg Taro, di atasnya ada crumbles yg garing, manis, dan enak! Yg lainnya isinya cream dengna berbagai rasa sesuai falvor yg kamu beli. Untuk yg savoury, ada pizza sosis dan tuna. So-so sih sebenernya, tapi mayan sih buat ganjel perut di saat laper. 
Overall, konsepnya unik dan muffin donutnya cukup enak. Harga agak pricey, tp masih terjangkau. Boleh nih baut cemilan di kantor sambil minum teh atau kopi.
Selamat mencoba!

Even though the celebration is not common, Halloween is still one of the events that you can celebrate with your friends. The costumes, the decorations, and also the foods are made to be ghost-like character and to scary all of the people. The "Trick or Treat" and the Jack-O-Lantern are two things that should be there in a Halloween party. 

It's a little bit difficult to find a restaurant / cafe that is suitable to celebrate a Halloween party in Jakarta. We decided to search all places via Pergikuliner . Finally, after long discussion, we chose Bistronomy as the right place for the Halloween party. 

Located at Senopati (near Gastromaquia), Bistronomy is a suitable place for private party. Judging from the outside, it looks like a vintage house, but kinda sppoky.

Inside, each table is separated with curtains, hence no need to worry that you might be disturbed with the others. The place is kinda a small house with spooky decoration. All of the employee wear black dresses and black suits. The dim light and the rain are so perfect, making the party even more spooky. At the right side, there is a bar with vintage touch.

I like how they decorate all parts of the restaurant with Halloween props, such as pumpkin, scary dolls, monsters' hands, gothic-look a like costumes, and many more. We had so much fun during our time at Bistronomy. 

REGULAR MENU 

1. Bistronomy Mix Platter : The tapas consists of chicken wings, fried calamari, chicken spring rolls, onion rings, and mixed salads, served with BBQ sauce and Tartar sauce. The fried foods are crispy and tasty. The chicken wings are good, as well as the spring rolls. I can finish half portion of the platter :p  

2. Aglio Olio Pasta: The smell of garlic and oregano makes me hungry. The pasta is tasty, but so spicy. It's too hot for people who can't eat spicy foods. Better to ask the waitress to decrease the chili. 

3. Carbonara Pasta: The pasta is delicious with chicken, Shimeji mushroom, egg, and creamy sauce. The 'heavy' taste of the cream will make you full. I like the taste of mixed cream and parmesan cheese. Tasty and creamy! 

4. Chicken Cordon Bleu : The battered chicken is well-seasoned and tasted so good with the sauce. The smoke beef and cheese are inside the chicken, making the dish even tastier. 

5. Chicken Steak: This si just a normal chicken steak. Grilled chicken breast is served with mixed salad and french fries. The chicken is tender, griiled- aroma, and juicy. 

HALLOWEEN'S MENU 

1. Black Fried Rice and Chicken Strips : The black fried rice is placed inside a bowl in a pumpkin. The cute 'Jack-O-Lantern' is just perfect for your Halloween party. The rice tasted delicious with calamari pieces inside the rice. The portion is quite big for just one person. 

2. Creamy Pumpkin Soup : It is also served in a small 'Jack-O-Lanter' bowl. So cute! The cream soup is actually good, but it's too cremay for me. The portion is suitable for 2-3 person for a starter. However, if you want this menu for the main course, I think the portion is just enough for 1 person. 

3. Spaghetti 'Eye' Bolognaise: The pasta is cute enough for me. The big eyes are made from boiled eggs and olive pieces. The food stylist is so creative to make an ordinary dish to be extraordinary! The taste is just like a regular bolognaise, not so sour (so good for me) and beefy. 

4. Spider Lava Cake : For the dessert, the lava cake is decorated as a cute spider! So creative! The choco lava is best eaten whilst it's still hot. I tried this cake when it's already cold, so I couldn't give a valid review for this menu. 

5. Finger Chocolate Mousse : Consists of chocolate mousse, creme, strawberry jam, and chocolate garnish. This is my favorite dessert in Bistronomy. The fingers are made from biscuit, strawberry jam, and almond pieces. So cute and kinda a scary for us, though. 

Overall, Bistronomy is a perfect place for celebrating Halloween party. The ambience and the decorations are so nice and spooky. Dark and few of light. The foods are delicious and the price is still affordable, slightly pricey for some people. The service is fast and nice. I really enjoyed spending my time with my girls, celebrating the best Halloween party ever!

Hello food lovers! Gw ud beberapa kali ke Aeon JGC dan pas laper, gw bingung mau makan dimana. Secara banyak bgt resto dan cafe baru di sana. Pilihan gw jatoh di Ringer Hut. Pusatnya di Sudirman. Gw pesen 3 menu nih, antara lain :
1. Nagasaki Champon (promo jadi 43k)
Ini signature dish dari Ringer Hut. Ramen seafood dan ayam dengan kuah seafoodnya yang gurih dan enak. Mienya bulat dan agak garing ya. Tppingnya ada chicken, shrimp, kamaboko, kol, dan tauge. Menurut gw, tauge dan kolnya trlalu banyak dan gw ga abis makannya. 
2. Chicken Katsu don
Menurut gw, katsu don nya mayan enak. Katsu, telur, dan bumbunya enak dan pas dimakan sama nasi. Porsinya juga mayan banyak. Disajikan dgn miso sop. Sayangnya, miso soupnya asin banget. Better to decrease the saltiness.
3. Gyoza (panggang)
Gyozanya kurang suka nih dan keasinan. 
Overall, makanannya mayan enak, tp perlu dikurangi asinnya. Porsinya mayan banyak kok, jadi jangan takut masih laper. Harganya juga masih terjangkau.
Selamat mencoba!

Hello Pergikuliner reviewers! Acara perkul alpha diadakan di Queens Head Kemang dengan tema Halloween Party. Buat kamu yg mau celebrating halloween party, Queens Head adalah salah satu tempat yg gw recommend untuk event tsb. Ada private room nya yang cukup besar dan didekorasi Halloween. Makanan tersedia dari appetizer, main course, hingga dessert nih:
Appetizer
1. Wild Mushroom Soup
Soupnya enak dan hangat, pas banget buat gw yg lagi sakit. Isinya ada soft poached egg yg bikin unik, parmesan, dan ada pasta kemangi nya yg bikin harum.
Enak!
2. Roasted Spiced Sweet Ptato SAlad
Salad ubinya enak. Rasanya  manis dan gurih jadi satu, dicampur dengan rasa cheesy dari cream cheese. Enak!

Main Course
1. Roasted Chicken Breast
Penampilannya sih nothing special, tpai rasanya enak! Sausnya gurih. Baby potatoes dan green beansnya udah dibumbuin dan ayamnya is so juicy and meaty. Super yummy!
2. Steak Frites
Tenderloin steak dengan peppercorn sauce. Dagingnya empuk dan agak berempah. Karena gw ga suka beef, gw gabisa komentar banyak tentang menu yg satu ini. Menurut gw sih mayan enak ya.

Dessert
1. Milk Chocolate Parfait
Presentasinya unik. Chocolate soil nya enak, lembut, dan ga bikin eneg. Kamu harus makan sama banana puree nya . Enak banget!
2. Apple Tart
Apple tartnya mayan enak, asem, buttery, manis, seger, Es krimnya ada rasa kacangnya gitu. Makan seporsi ini bikin kenyang tapi enak.

Overall, makanan dan dessert di sini enak-enak. Sayang, tempatnya di daerah macet, yaitu Kemang. Harganya masih terjangkau. Tempatnya juga nyama.
Last, semoga Pergikuliner makin sukses dan populer ya

Hello food lovers! Kali ini gw cobain Monkey Tail yg hits gara2 para selebgram foto OOTD dan baju2 endorse-an di sini. Lokasinya persis di seberang Bermvda Coffee. Di deretan ruko belakang Playroom/Sate Khas Senayan. Kompetitif banget ya.

Tempatnya emang cozy, simple, bagus, dan has many good spots for photoshoot. Cahayanya bagus, baik di lantai dasar maupun di lantai 2. Minialist, brown-grey dominant, dan smoking area nya bagus banget buat foto. Sayangnya gw gabisa foto di sana karena banyak yg lagi smoking :(
Gw cuma pesen coffee and dessert aja karena udah lunch di tempat lain. 
1. Cappucino
Penampilannya cantik, pas gw coba agak asam dan fruity. Buat yg suka kopi pahit mungkin agak kurang ok ya.
2. Apple Crumble
Rasanya enak dan crumble cakenya crispy, tapi soft. Agak lembek tapi ga benyek kok. Manis, asem, seger dari applenya OK. 
3. Triple chocolate lava cake
Teridir dari 3 mini lava cake : dark, white, and milky chocolate. Gw paling suak yg dark karena pahit dan rich taste. Milky ga gitu suka karena biasa aja dan mirip pancake rasnaya. Yg milky lbh manis dari yg dark pastinya dan ga pahit. Vanilla syrupnya surprisingly ga gt manis (aalnya gw kira bakal manis bgt). Ok lah menurut gw.
OVerall, Ambiencenya OK, servicecepat dan ramah, makanan lumayan enak dan harga masih terjangkau. Boleh nih dijadiin temapt nongkrong baru, apalagi baut yg suka foto2. Selamat mencoba!

Hello cheese lovers! Kali ini gw dapet kiriman cheese cake (mini size) yang lagi hits di Jakarta, yaitu Kibo! Yg bikin special dari cheese cake ini adalah isinya. Ada berbagai macam : Original (melted cheese), Choco cheese, Matcha, Salted Egg, dan Mango. Pas kalian potong cakenya, isinya langsung meleleh gitu. So yummy!

Terdapat beberapa cara penyajian untuk flavor tertentu biar makin pol rasanya :
1. Matcha & Salted Egg
Cheese cake nyha di-microwave dulu selama 10-20 detik saja biar isinya melted. Apalagi yg salted egg, enak banget dimakan pas melted 
Kalo males di-microwave, kamu bisa diamkan cheese cakenya di suhu ruang selama 30 menit biar melted secara perlahan.
2. Original & Choco Cheese
Untuk kedua flavor ini, kamu bisa makan dingin-dingin (disimpan di kulkas) atau dibiarkan di suhu ruang selama 30 menit (nanti akan melted sendiri) tanpa perlu dimicrowave.
3. Mango
Best served in chilled condition. Cukup dimasukkan ke kulkas. Pas udah dingin, langsung deh disantap. Yummy!

Gw dapet kiriman 4 flavor nih : Original, Salted Egg, Choco Cheese, dan Mango.
1. Original
Isinya melted cheese yg enak dan ga eneg menurut gw. Not too strong, not fermented yet, but the taste is good! Enak kok!
2. Choco Cheese
Buat yg kurang suka cheese, kamu bisa cobain choco cheese. cokalt nya mild, tetep balance dengan cheesenya. Gw suka banget sama coklat dan gw merasa kurang strong coklatnya, tetep cheese yg jadi pahlawannya.
3. Salted Egg
Ini salah satu favorit gw. Telor asinnya cremay, andy texture, dan masih berasa gritty pieces dari telor asinnya. Enak! Asin gurih manis jadi satu.
4. Mango
Ini dia flavor terbarunya Kibo. Mangonya mayan banyak di dasar cakenya, Manis asem seger. Me like it 
Overall, gw udah 3 kali beli di Kibo (ga termasuk endorse ya) dan belum pernah kecewa. Cakenya selalu enak, fresh from the oven. Ingredientnya pasti yang bagus dong. Untuk harga, masih affordable kok. Kalo kamu beli 4 yg mini size, nanti ada potongan harga. Buat yang belum nyobain, yuk buruan dicoba! 
Selamat mencoba!
