Master Wok applies a concept of chinese food cafeteria where you can choose the menu you like from some pre-cooked meal on the display. There were some variation of chicken, beef, fish, and veggies available. The veggies were tasty, the meat were okay and quite soft too. Not so bad for the taste, actually. But the thing is, the veggies and the meat wasn't warm anymore.

Myeong Ga Myeon Ok the restaurant where I first experienced eating Korean BBQ, few years ago. I went here quite often, whether to celebrate my friends birthday, reunion, eating with my friends and family, or graduation. We always ordered their sweet pork, thin slices of beef, and chap jae. The price ranges from 65K to around 140K. I love the sweet pork. It was thin, tender, glazed with sweet sauce. The beef was delicious too, and chap jae, I always love chewy chap jae. Wrapped it around the veggies and eat it with rice. Rolled away!

Bandar Djakarta was popular back then in Ancol, initially known for its fresh seafood. I tried one in Ancol, and now their new branch that are located nearer to my home. The seafood was fresh, the veggies were okay, and the taste was not that bad either. What could be improved was the ambience and the place, since the sitting were too near from one table to the other. We were in a private room, but since we're eating with the big crowd, 2 big tables in a room gave us a little space for walking around.

This Henk'z Pizza was one of the pioneer of home-made pizza in Tangerang with unique variation of its sizes. The size of the pizza they served ranges from regular, to 52' Plasma TV. If you ask, how many pizza was that, well, let's just say you came with 6-7 of your friends eating that and you and your crowd will be going home with a stuffed belly. The taste itself was not bad, actually. The only problem was if you ordered it for takeaways, and you're not gonna eat it for a while (and you ordered the huge size), it gonna be hard for you to heat it in the microwave. And why should you heat it first? Because it tasted better while still hot.

I always love with middle-east feast. Experiencing the rich taste of spices savoring the rice, the meat, with side of the bread dipped in tasty sauce, made you fulfilled! The nasi briyani were just amazing too, so tasty and the meat were great. What I love about this place wasn't just about the amazing foods they offered, but also the place. They decorated it so beautifully that you can feel you're outside the country! The friendly waitress, the room just for you and your friends to enjoy the feast while sitting on the floor with pillows. What a day! :)

For a pricey meal, I expected outstanding taste to match its price. But nothing too wow for the taste, and the salad, it was fresh actually, but they charged you more than what you should pay for that kind of salad. The meat's texture and taste were okay. The portion was quite big too. The place was okay, waitress was nice.

I saw lots of people eating this kind of Taiyaki with ice cream on top. I was curious about it so I dropped by. This Taiyaki was filled with some kind of cream-filling, rather than ice cream. I tried their Green Tea (Rp.27.500), and it was kind of yummy! The outer part similar to pastries such as croissant, with sugar. I was in love at the first bite. The filling was not so pleasant, unfortunately. Not because of the taste of texture, but I expect to have ice cream, but turned out it was just cream. Plus it bursted out so easily since it was more like liquid than ice that it was a little bit inconvenient for us to eat with using only mouth and hand.

We went here, ordered their bestseller:

Spicy BBQ and Mayo Karage plus Iced Tea (Rp.36.000) and also Fried Mushroom (Rp.10.000). Yes, for only Rp.46.000 we got two delicious meals! And not just so-so in taste, the Spicy BBQ and Mayo Karage was very delicious! Sipped in the Miso Soup, then landed my first bite on the chicken. You can taste there's honey and ginger on those juicy chicken, accompanied by yummy a-bit-sticky rice-like with a bit of seaweed on on top, don't forget that you can pour with more honey glaze on top since they provided you with more sauce on the side. It was very delicious and worth your every Rupiahs. And the mushroom, I mean, who else sells good fried mushroom with only Rp.10.000? The service was fast, and the ambience was okay.

Shihlin is one of my favorite snacks. It's my always go-to when I and my bf need some salty small bites. What do I love about it? Let's start with the chicken. Chicken, compared to bread/cakes/ice cream is lower in calories and fat and is the source of protein. Now about the way they fried it and the amount of serving, it's always good to share this snacks with others. The taste, you can choose between original, BBQ, and seaweed. For me, I love their original (Rp.35.000). BBQ is delicious too, not so much in love with the seaweed. The skin. Crunchy and tasty. So very yummy! I've tried their Mee Sua and Seafood Tempura. It was okay. Their sweet potato and fried tempura are wonderful, too.

Freeze is an ice cream processed with dry ice. I tried their Son of a B (Rp.64.000), which was the combination of Baileys and vanilla with cookies crumble on top. I know, what a name right? Lol. It was quite pricey actually. But considering they used Baileys and for this one (in comparison, other regular menus priced for Rp.43.000) makes quite sense. The texture and taste was okay. You can taste the Baileys but it was not too strong (which was good for me since I get red so easily), the cookie crumbles were delicious too. One minus point was the ice cream melt quite fast.
