Giving you a super fresh review — just had my millennial-pink cup from KOPICONE (one of the new kids on the block) | Opted for their signature Kopi Susu Rayuan for my first-try and it indeed was aromatic! An exciting idea of using a hint of rhum for the blend; creating a smooth and distinctive aftertaste. Good news is that they give options on how strong you want your coffee to be. Since you know I cannot stand strong ones, I requested for the creamy/white blend. Their outlet is quite small, yet still accommodating some seats (they also have gelato and snacks in the house). I decided to take-away and this photo is presented to all of you straight from the capture at home just now! ☕️

Pizza Marzano introduced their new campaign: PIZZA AROUND THE WORLD — introducing fresh slices from different parts of the globe. Sharing to all of you the one from the United States: BEEF BURGER AL FORMAGGIO! I have always liked their pizza, down from the dough, texture and ingredients’ freshness. Not really a fan of bolognese sauce in common, yet their bechamel was quite good to balance the flavor. Toppings were fine, yet I personally did not find things that were really spot-on or anything. Rocket leaves were fresh and the overall impression was not bad at all! Would love to try the other selections from the campaign since they all look interesting. Make sure you guys head over to their nearest outlet to #EnjoyTheAuthenticity — wishing all of you a wonderful #marzanopizzaventure ! 🍕🇺🇸

I pretty much loved their food spread. Not the widest range of selections compared to other restaurants, yet considerably food wise and enjoyable. Got my heart eyes on their DENDENG BATOKOK (crispy and finely spicy) and their Gulai Kikil was pretty good as well!

Had a fine evening at UNION ‘s latest establishment at MKG-3. Been looking forward to try their latest creation, THAI TEA CAKE by the amazing Pastry Chef Karen Carlotta and so I tried a slice of it. Sharing you my opinion as someone who does not really enjoy desserts at most times: I really loved the idea of highlighting the flavor of Thai Tea in various forms and textures: spot-on custard and ganache. Though it was tad too sweet for my liking, yet I could capture the flavor really well. I was specifically delighted to find small Thai Tea Jelly cubes inside the cake (I think they did an amazing job of preserving not only the various forms and textures in each layer, yet also the temperature). So if you ask me whether it is actually worth trying or not, my answer would be a solid YES! Also, do note that this menu is exclusively available only at their MKG outlet. ✨

NOW EVERYONE CAN LUNCH! The Manhattan Fish Market now provides you 5 sea-lections of lunch menu — 1 Main Course + 1 Drink starting from 70K++ only! Had their Fish N’ Chips Dory X Mushroom at their Grand Indonesia outlet and as a first-timer, I was really impressed by the quality of their fish and chips. The dory was succulent in a fine way and everything on the plate was balanced and FRESH. 🐟✨
