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.

J-cool, compared to others, is more affordable. Single froyo only cost you Rp.15.000. The texture was not that smooth and the taste is a bit sour than other froyo but overall it was quite yummy. The waiter was friendly too and their toppings are fresh. Not bad

Korean ramen, fried chicken, instead of bbq being on the spotlight is one of the interesting thing about Mujigae. Their ramen was okay, the broth was bold but the noodles were ordinary. The fried chicken, however, was wonderful. The sauce was extraordinary and it was quite crispy.Their drinks such as fusion tea and syrups are sweet and refreshing.

Lau's Kopi. There's a huge gap between their quality of food and their ambience and service. For food itself, Lau's Kopitiam made delicious dishes. We ordered Nasi Lemak (Rp.32.000), Kaya Toast (Rp.26.300), Jus Timun Aceh (Rp.18.000), and Sirsak Squash (Rp.18.000). Their Nasi Lemak was delicious, the 'sambal terasi' was really good. Peanut, chicken, sambal, teri, and keripik made a really good balance. The Kaya Toast was good too, the bread was big and soft while the outer part was toasted with enough salted butter. The Sirsak Squash was surprisingly pleasant. Right amount of soda and juice, you'll feel happy to drink it till the end. So does the Timun Aceh Juice. The thing that I didn't really like was the ambience. The indoor area was deserted that only me and my bf ate here. There was no music (which my bf like actually lol, but I didn't), and the lamp was dimmed in white color with oldish background. I don't know, I just feel a little bit sad eating there. The waitress was not friendly and they continuously went in and out from the kitchen to the front. Thank God their food was quite delicious, because the restaurant wasn't inviting at all.

Poppao, is like a pop-art mantao. I mean, the way they decorated it was like so cute! There's cute animals crafted on the outer layer and all in round puffy mantao. Adorable, right? I tried their Red Bean, shaped like a panda (Rp.7.500). The mantao was okay, the dough and the red bean filling was smooth. Stuff that they can fix is about the amount and placement of filling. I can hardly see it and it was not in the middle, which was a little bit awkward to see.

After dine in, the waiter told me that Sushi! Kiosk is actually from the same company as Sushi Tei. The place was quite small. It's more like a to-go restaurants where they put on a display of sushi if you wanted to buy some and got home. Their sushi was actually not that bad. The taste and everything, but the freshness, I can't lie that Sushi Tei gave you better sushi. This is the economical choice, I guess. And one other thing, their wasabi was a paste, and wrapped in plastic like individual chili / tomato sauce. The price was affordable, so, not bad.

They made pretty good pasta! Every time I went here, I always ordered their pasta, or baked rice. Their pasta was cooked well enough, and the seasoning were always fine. Not too bold, not too plain. Their baked rice was smooth, gooey, and creamy. The place was quite cute as well. Made a resemblance with a barn, with a bit touch of vintage. Friendly waitress.
