Review Pelanggan untuk Tjikini

I've always been a fan to this place. My first visit was around 2012, and boy, I really glad knowing that this place exist. I like how they managed to turn old building on such a classic, vintage, and maybe one of old Jakarta heritage to a hip cafe that exudes retro mixed with indie vibe, thanks to Jakarta Institute for the Arts that influenced the artsy-retro-hipster ambiance. They offer an array of indonesian menu, and mostly (if not all of them) are indonesian traditional dishes with influence from the colonial era. From traditional cakes, toasts, fried rice, etc. And my personal favorite will be their Nasi Goreng Belacan, which basically shrimp paste fried rice that tasted classic, savory with a hint of enough spiciness. Their toasts are nice too, I'd go for their cheese & condensed milk toast. Rest of the menu are basic indonesian dishes which I'm sure would be very nice, but those are just not the reason why I came to this place in the first place.

Pricewise, this place charges a bit more than a normal restaurant would hence I consider quite pricet. Whether you can justify IDR 55K for a serving of chicken soup, that's all up to you. Service was good, and their wifi connection was considerably nice.

So yeah, I appreciate this place for being a great place to hang out with unusual take on retro atmosphere, but I guess the hefty price tag might be something noteworthy.
