Gula merah located inside the super mall, the place was a little bit loud, a lot people walking by. The service was okay, and the food was good, but not great. Their gurame were delicious and crispy. The fish were tender, and the presentation were quite appealing. Their chicken were well-seasoned and their traditional food that has lots of peanut sauce were bold enough in taste.

This LeeLoo Siomay is one of the best siomay I've ever tasted. It was gooey, and you can tell that they used enough fish instead of just flour and seasonings. The portion were okay, it's a bit pricey but worthed. They blend it pretty well, so that there were no lump inside the siomay, and the peanut sauce were wonderful too! A bit of lime and sweet soy sauce on top, let's dig in!

Yoshinoya serves you delicious beef bowl! When I went here, I usually ordered their Yakiniku Beef Bowl. It was my regular.

I love how it taste, the beef, and their rice too. The beef was soft and not too thick nor thin, seasoned well, the rice was smooth. I think their yakiniku was way better than their original, since their original tasted a bit bland for me. Anyway, their yakiniku was a sweet marinated beef. Yum. Their price was okay too, around 30.000 rupiah.

Chatime has been popular for its milk tea. It was almost always crowded awhile ago. When I was here  I'm not only like to order their milk tea, I love to order fresh drinks from here.

One of my regular is Passion Fruit Green Tea [Rp.23.000], less sugar. Don't forget to ask for less sugar, since even though it's less, it's still quite sweet. Sweet and sour drinks, with rainbow jelly on the bottom. They had pretty bold flavor for this one, so if you're not really up to it, ask for more ice.

I always love crepes! So after creambath-ing with my mom, I decided to eat some snacks. So I went here, ordered for their Nutella Cheese [Rp.16.000].

I actually like it. It's not as crispy as other crepes, which btw, you could totally request the waitress to make it crispier, and the nutella was quite bold! I love the taste, and I do recommend to pick chocolate like nutella or ovomaltine instead of just chocolate taste, because the taste is a lot different, and you only have to add like 2 or 3 thousands rupiah. The nutella and cheese was nice and yummy, not too little too.

When I was quite a kid, Clairmont used to be one of my favorite cake. I love their chocolate mouse and their cheesecake were too so wonderful. But last time I brought few cakes for some occasion, they didn't taste as good as they used to be. More airy and a bit plain compared to other cake. I like it thick and bold, that what makes cake taste more expensive and delicious. This cake has some jelly on top, not so consistent for the texture, but not bad for the taste. The cake was airy and a bit lack of chocolate taste too.

Want to try red velvet martabak, and kebetulan my mom beli on her way home. Their red velvet was indeed huge. They used cream cheese and oreo inside. I can't be so comparative regarding the taste since it's my first time trying the red velvet taste on martabak.

For first impression, it's actually not that bad. The dough was thick, you can feel the flour lingering a bit, while the oreo was already melted inside with the cream cheese (especially if you eat it for breakfast and had to pre-heat it first on the microwave/oven).

Their martabak telur was okay. Crispy and well-cooked. The only unusual thing about this is their sauce. Usually, you find soy sauce with chili for dipping right? Well, this one gave you some kind of fuyunghai sauce with extra chili for the dip. I like the soy sauce version better.

Bakmi Karet Planet is one of my fav noodle! What I love about this noodles is its texture. I clearly remembered my first bite on this noodle. It was on my university year, they got this bazaar, and you could choose tons of food outside, lining up ready to serve. I tried this Bakmi Karet Planet for the first time, it was Chasiu sprinkled on top, and it was amazing. This is actually my first time eating home-made noodles that actually quite representing its name "karet". The noodles was bigger than the regular noodle, but not like fettuccine, and it was gooey and chewy, absolutely not soggy since they separate the soup too from the noodle. Taste tasty enough even if being eaten alone without the soup. This noodle has been one of my regular ever since. Most of the times I ask for delivery if I'm feeling hungry, and you know, wanted to have some relaxing time at home after work and tutoring some kids, watching some comedy TV series and eating some noodles. Yum yum yum.

AMBIENCE:

This place got warm ambience, with some cute grandma and some women graffiti-ed on the white brick wall. We got our own pot to boil some water and cook the food, just like what you can find in most of restaurants serving suki.

FOOD:

We ordered their seafood combo, veggies, and also some pork belly. We got 2 different broth, one chicken and one shark fin. The different is the shark fin soup is a bit tastier than the chicken, and the chicken broth was clearer in color, and more plain in taste compared to shark fin broth. Their seafood was fresh and yummy. Their veggies too. What I wanna highlight is their sauce. Heaven of sauce! You're able to pick sambal, tomatoes, chopped garlics, peanut sauce, siomay sauce, and even cilantro leaf (I know, they got different name here but I always forgot what to call it in Chinese). Cilantro. One of my favorite herbs that made Tom Yum and Salsa sauce so delightful. You can get a handful of those here. Combine it with the sauce and put it in your soup. Yum! Their pork belly was also beautiful. They made thin slices out of it, so golden brown and crispy for the skin and so smooth and tender for the meat. Mouth-watering indeed. Their dessert was rather unusual. They use Chinese herbs and one that you can find in Chinese medicine for soup on it. One was like tofu and one like jelly.

SERVICE:

Okay.
