Seumur hidup gw ke cafe, baru kali ini semua waiter dan waitressnya jutek! Ga ada senyumnya sedikitpun! Cemberut malah. Bikin mood gw jeblok di hari itu.
Awalnya, gw sama temen2 dateng mau foto2 kue ulang tahun gw (early bday). Kuenya toh ga dimakan, cuma difoto buat endorsement. Sekalian foto sm temen2 gw. Kita pesen jus sama cake juga. 
1. Mango cake: asem, seger, tapi terlalu banyak essence, too artificial.
2. Tropical juice: campuran pineapple, apple, watermelon, orange, sama 1 buah lagi (lupa). Fresh sih juicenya dan cukup enak. 

Seenak apapun makanannya dan se-cozy apapun tempatnya, kalo servicenya agak lama dan jutek (bahkan MAKSA pesen menu lain lagi dan ga boleh foto2) ya tetep aja cafenya menyebalkan! Seharusnya celebration, malah bikin mood jadi drop.
Honestly, baru kali ini gw dikecewain sama cafe, jadi ya bete banget. Biasanya, gw tetap kasih nilai review yang bagus buat cafe, tapi ini cafe keterlaluan.
Never come back to this cafe again.

Hello burger lovers! This time, I try Burgushi - a burger shop located in PHX, Grogol. Burgushi is at the 2nd floor, near the "lounge". So, you can buy the burger and eat it in the lounge with full AC. Honestly, the concept of open kitchen in PHX (for almost all food tenants) is very interesting in which the customers can directly see the cooking process from the outside. However, the place is so hot! Better to dine in the lounge. This place is suitable for weekend-hangout for youth.

Back to Burgushi, I ordered 3 menus : Beef Wakame, Tuna Aburi, and Salmon Mentai. All flavors of the burger is from Japanese food, that's why I call it a fusion between western (burger) and east (japanese food flavor). I also ordered the french fries and the ocha.
1. Beef Wakame
This is Burgushi's signature dish. So tasty and beefy. The meat is tender, while the wakame tasted good. It does not smell fishy at all. I think it is a good combination to put the healthy wakame inside the patty.

2. Tuna Aburi
The roasted tuna is good, but tasted salty. It should be sweet. Maybe the sauce is lack of sugar. The tuna meat is tender and good.

3. Salmon Mentai
Ths is my favorite after Beef Wakame. I love the salmon, the seasoning is just perfect! For you who are on diet, better to choose this. Tasted good and still healthy.

4. French Fries
Actually, I don't like french fries. However, I love the fries in Burgushi. The 'fat' shape and seasoning are just perfect for me. Must try!

Overall, I enjoy my lunch in Burgushi. The burger is small, but full of meat. Just enough for my lunch's portion. The price is economical and you can choose package of burger + french fries+ ocha. Happy eating!

Hello coffee lovers! Gw baru tau ternyata Pick-me-up cafe ini welcome banget sama dog lovers. Jadi, buat yg punya anjing, bisa diajak ke cafe ini buat nongkrong bareng. Sayangnya, terlalu banyak anjing juga ga enak karena jadi pada ribut dan brantem, spt yg gw alami. Mau nongkrong tenang, malah terganggu sama anjing2 ini. Gw suka anjing, tapi kalo sampe pada brantem, ya better stay away deh.

Lokasinya di deket Pvblik cafe bagian belakang. Tempatnya kecil, tapi dekornya homey banget dan pewe buat ngopi. Kalo mau nongkrong di sini, enaknya pas weekdays atau weekend pagi. Gw cobain :
1. Affogato
Enak! Gw paling suka ini walopun gw ga suka kopi ya. Espresso nya masih tolerable dan enak banget makan pake ice cream vanilla.
2. Hot chocolate
Buat yg ga suka kopi, kamu bisa cobain hot chocolatenya. Ngangetin dan manis.
3. Cappucino
Buat yg suka kopi, cappucino nya not bad. Ga gitu pahit sih.
Overall, tempatnya enak banget buat foto2 dan nongkrong kalo lagi ga banyak anjing ya. A perfect place to enjoy your weekend with your friends and dogs 
Selamat mencoba!

Karena gw lagi pengen makanan Indonesian Western, akhirnya gw putusin buat makan di sini lagi. Kali ini dekor ruang dalam diubah menjadi lebih cantik buat acara2 dan foto2. GW cobain salah satu menu Chef's recommendationnya.
1. Samsara tuna with dabu2
Isinya gnocchi, pan roasted salmon dan dabu2. Enak banget! Gnocchi nya udah improved: lebih apdet dan crispy luarnya. Rasanya juga udah improved dari terakhir kali gw ke sini. Sambel dabu2nya juga enak. Must try!
2. Bebek bengil Ubud
Buat yg doyan bebek, cobain deh bebek di sini. Ga amis dan crispy. Dagingya juga tender, ga alot kayak bebek lain. Disajikan dgn urap dan terong balado. Urapnya enak, terong balado nya juga enak. Must try!

Overall, makanan di Samsara udah improved dari segi taste nya dari kunjungan terkahir gw. Dekornya juga udah imrpoved dan cantik banget, layaknya fine dining resto lainnya. Untuk harga memang agak pricey ya, tp worth it kok.
Selamat mencoba!

Hello foodies! Ini pertama kalinya gw cobain Born Ga. Katanya sih enak tp karena masih belum laper banget jadinya kita cuma pesan soup aja. Gw cobain 2 soup:
1. Kimchi Jjigae
Supnya isi pork, tofu, kimchi, onion, dan green chili. Porsinya cukup buat 4 orang. Dapet free nasi juga. Sayangnya, supnya keaseman buat gw. Kental sih kuahnya dan bikin gw ngerasa asem. Karena gw ga suka asem, jadi gw ga suka sup ini.
2. Suntofu jjigae-spicy iwth pork
ini sup favorite gw di hampir semua restoran Korea yg pernah gw datengin. Di Born Ga, rasanya pedes banget, tapi ya lumayan sih. Kaldunya berasa. Gw lebih suka sup yg ini
3. Side dish: ga ada yg gw suka dari side dishnya. Ada telor dadar (kemanisan); cumi saos tiram (enak); sweet corn (so-so); daun perila (rasanya aneh); ubi manis; kimchi (rasanya kurang enak, dominan pedes dan asem aja, ga bulat rasanya); tauge.
Overall, gw kecewa makan di sini. Semua makanan yg gw makan biasa banget. Gw emang belum cobain BBQnya sih, tapi untuk supnya sih ga gitu enak. 
Selamat mencoba!

Hello coffee lovers! Sudoet Tjerita has been popular on Instagram since the grand opening last month. Since I was busy, I did not have time to visit this place. Finally, today I can go to Sudoet Tjerita to spend my weekend with my friends. 
The cafe is located in 'ruko Royal Mediterania'. Precisely, it is at the opposite of Neo Soho Mall, near the escalator that connects the dining area between Central Park Mall and Neo Soho Mall. 

When you enter the cafe, you will feel homey. The vintage interior is dominated with small cactus pots and an old gramophone near the cashier. At the back of the shop, there is a "greeny-spot" where they sell the cactus pots. On the left side, there is a spot where you can sit on a swing. However, the swing is just for people whose weight are under 55 kgs  When I sat there, it's fine! 
Here are the foods and drinks we ordered.
"Sudoet Tjerita Kopi Rempah"
This is the signature coffee which is very popular recently. The appearance is cute, in which 2 small anistar pieces are on top of the foam. The aroma of spices is fine. Once you sip the coffee, you can taste the strong spices. Since I'm a flavorist, I could tasted that the spices are a mixture of ginger, clove, cinnamon, cardamom, and other spices (I could not tell you the whole spices since it is confidential). For me and my friends, the spices are too strong and overcome the taste of coffee.

Red Velvet
Instead of red, the drink is more likely baby pink. I love the colour 
The taste is good, but too sweet for me. This is my favorite drink in this place.

Iced Green Tea Latte
The green tea latte is good, but not so japanese-type. The sweetness is tolerable since there are ice cubes. Note: the caramel popcorn is not a part of the iced green tea latte.

Hot Chocolate
Tasted like milk chocolate, served warm, and the latte art is so beautiful! A peacock, I guess. For me, nothing special with this drink.

Bear Pancake
Actually there are 2 options: with ice cream or without ice cream. Since I want to do a photoshoot, then I choose the plain pancake. The presentation is so cute! It consists of 1 big round pancake, 1 medium pancake, and 2 small pancakes. Feeling like something is missing. There is no maple syrup. It is weird eating a pancake without any syrup or chocolate sauce or any other jam. I suggest to add maple syrup on a small plate.

Nougat Cake
It is a mocha-flavoured cake with nuts on top. Judging from its appearance, it is just a cake. Simple and plain. However, you must taste it. This is tasty! Me and my friends like this cake and want to add some more!

Overall, the place is so cozy and you can spend hours in it. The sunlight is perfect for food photoshoot. It is better to turn off the table lights while doing the photoshoot. For the food and drinks, they tasted quite good, but nothing so special. The "Kopi Rempah" is actually unique, but it is better to decrease the spices. The price is affordable for students as well.

Have a nice of coffee

Hello foodies! Kali ini gw cobain Dapur Kincir di Mal Artha Gading. Lokasinya di sebelah A&W resto. Jadi, kalo dari dalem mal, kamu kudu keluar dari pintu A&W dan belok kanan. Tempanya semi outdoor gitu, smoking area di dalem dan di luar, terus ada bar. Ada satu area yg pewe buat ngecharge HP dan nongkrong lesehan di bagian belakang. Tapi, tempatnya panas, cuma pake kipas angin. Gw cobain beberapa menu di sana, antara lain:
1. Bandung Tahu Meledak
Ini thau crispy pake dengan taburan sambel goreng yg pedes banget. Ini sih mantep! Enak. Recommended buat yg doyan pedas.
2. Cumi goreng tepung
Enak cuminya, garing, dan ga alot.
3. Sate Madura
Satu porsi isinya 9 tusuk, ada saos kacangnya dan kecap di dalam mangkuk kecil
4. Krapu sambal matah
Ikan krapunya lembut dan ga amis, Sambal matahnya enak banget dan pedes! Gw suka banget sambal matahnya 
5. Nasi Goreng Kincir
Nasi goreng kampung yg dibalut omelette. Biasa aja sih rasanya.
6. Kangkung belacan
Biasa aja sih rasanya, belacannya kurang berasa
OVerall, makanan di sini lumayan enak, terutama sambelnya. Kalo suka pedes, boleh cobain makan di sini siang2. Kalo malem tempatnya panas dan makin remang2. Selamat mencoba!
