4.0Dough Lab [ Slipi, Toko Kue ]
The Monster
Thick NY style cookie with eye catching blue colour with chocolate chip cookie dough (44k). The size is massive so it’s better for sharing as it can get overwhelmingly sweet. I personally like it more eaten with milk to help dilute the sweetness.

3.8Bekkan by Esina [ Senayan, Jepang ]
Bekkan
The sister restaurant to Esina, Bekkan offers private seatings for their guests, making it perfect for meeting or special event. Seeing as I had pretty good experience with Esina’s set menu, I decided to do the same for Bekkan (850k/set). This was a mistake since I really was not fond of the dishes selections. Tbh I think I should’ve went with the ala carte options. The 3 meats options were of decent quality, however I didn’t really enjoy some of the other courses. The tenderloin katsu in particular was really tough to chew. Cold noodles and warabi mochi were just decent.

4.0Kool Kreme [ Pantai Indah Kapuk, Es Krim ]
New Gelato in PIK
A new gelato place located in central market (near west lobby). They have tons of unique and unusual flavours. Costs 55k for small size (up to 2 flavours). I got the Mala (CNY limited edition) and the Ube Milk Tea. The mala tasted quite unique, almost savoury and spicy, however my favourite was still the ube. Ube tasted really creamy with dominant ube flavour without being too sweet. Overall will come back to try other flavours.

2.8Oui! Croissant Bar [ Pantai Indah Kapuk, Toko Roti ]
Not my type of croissant
I seem to have the worst luck eating pastries in PIK area. Not a fan of Oui croissants at all. For me the texture was like bread vs croissant. There’s zero crunch and the layers didn’t have a proper honeycomb.
Choco fudge (36k) 6/10
Generous filling, very chocolatey. Barely any crunch and flakiness. Pretty tough to chew.
Pistachio Canolli (35k) 5/10
Pistachio cream was pretty underwhelming. It tasted pretty bland.Harga per orang: < Rp. 50.000Makasih Infonya!Kamu belum login, klik di sini.1 pembaca berterima kasih.

3.8Taqisa Tacos [ Senayan, Meksiko ]
Mexican Food inside Wine Shop
Casual spot for Mexican food in Sency. Kind of hard to spot since it’s inside Red&White. Apparently it’s a branch from Nusa Dua.
Tacos (15-25k)
Al pastor: 8/10
Chorizo: 7.5/10
Carne Asada: 7/10
Tried the al pastor, chorizo, and carne asada. They only have soft taco option (which I am not not fond of) but taste wise everything was pretty good. Carna asada was slightly tough to chew. One thing to note is that everything was quite oily vs cantinero/taco local.
Salad Bowl (80k) 9/10
Al pastor with shredded cabbage, corn salsa, pico de gallo, radish, cucumber, avocado salsa, cilantro, and lime dressing. Flavourful, tangy, and refreshing. Felt like this is a salad for non salad people, filling while still being balanced with nutrients. You can switch up the protein with other options (including plant based ones).
Horchata (35k) 7.5/10
Rice milk infused with cinnamon and vanilla. Very refreshing drink since it’s not too creamy nor sweet.Harga per orang: Rp. 100.000 - Rp. 200.000Makasih Infonya!Kamu belum login, klik di sini.

3.8Mugimido [ Tebet, Toko Roti ]
Japanese Chilled Cream Bun
Place was somewhat small, limited seating available so probably best for takeaway. Got the taro (24k) and I quite like it. Since I ate it straight from the chiller the texture was more like ice cream. If you prefer creamier texture wait 30-60 minutes of thawing. Not too sweet and quite strong taro flavour with some chunks inside.

3.6Chateraise [ Gandaria, Toko Kue ]
Chateraise Gancit
Tried out the legendary fresh cream cake (49k) as it was Chateraise best seller menu. Cake was light and fluffy however I felt like there was too much cream to cake ratio. There were some strawberry scattered inside and on top of the cake but they were pretty sour (expected them to be sweeter based on how juicy they looked). Overall nice option for those of you who prefer airier and less sweet cake.

4.0Scarlett's Cafe [ Pantai Indah Kapuk, Kafe ]
Scarlett Pik
📍Pik
Service and Ambiance 7/10
Price $$
🐈Worth to try
Elvis Presley (68k) 9/10
This>desserts for me. Perfect for those of you who like sweet-savoury combo. The peanut butter, banana, bacon, and maple syrup may sound weird but actually taste really good. Chips were 👍🏻as well.
Poured Tiramisu (60k) 7/10
Despite being the pioneer of deconstructed tiramisu in Jakarta, this was just okay for me. I didn’t regret getting this but won’t necessarily queue for this.
Black Sesame Lemon Meringue (60k) 7.5/10
Got this for takeaways. I enjoyed both the black sesame and lemon parts but separately? I don’t think the combo works for my palate.
Vienna Latte - Pistachio (48k) 7.5/10
Pleasantly surprised by how dominant the pistachio flavour was, plus the extra crumbs on top. Coffee was on the weaker side but not too milky. The drink was very very sweet so I will probably request no sugar next time as the mousse on top was sweet already.Harga per orang: Rp. 100.000 - Rp. 200.000Makasih Infonya!Kamu belum login, klik di sini.2 pembaca berterima kasih.

4.0Katsutoku [ Thamrin, Jepang ]
Katsutoku
📍Plaza Indonesia
Service and Ambiance 6/10
Price $$
🐈Will revisit
So far the best katsu I’ve tried in Jakarta. Katsutoku’s batter really differentiate it from other places imo, very well seasoned and crunchy without falling apart while not oily at all. Even their cabbage slaw tastes better than most places. For best value for money, order their lunch set that comes with soup, rice, and side dishes.
Tenderloin Katsu Set (190k) 8.5/10
Crispy outside and juicy inside. Since I dislike fattier cut, I actually prefer this over the sirloin. If it’s your first time, recommend getting the mixed lunch set so you can try both types of pork katsu.
Unagi Katsu Ala Carte (238k) 7.5/10
Not soggy at all and very crunchy. I like how thick and juciy the unagi slices were. No fishiness and soft bones as well. They also gave you 2 extra sauces (eel and tartar dipping sauces) that went well with the katsu.Harga per orang: Rp. 100.000 - Rp. 200.000Makasih Infonya!Kamu belum login, klik di sini.
