Life is too short to drink bad tea.
I'm going anti-mainstream this time by trying not their signature watermelon snow, but Pineapple Snow (33K) - yes it's so goood and super worth it for me. The combination of sour pineapple with creamy sweet from that snow cream is perfecto (10/10)  
Place is quite good for chill and chitchat with friends, easy to find too.

I know it's fattening but I don't really care because I love it!

Waffle Dream (95K) - a warm waffle and two grande scoops of caramel biscuit and strawberry, topped with caramel sauce and whipped cream.  This is super yum. Crunchy waffle with my fav strawberry icecream, sweet-sour-creamy-yasss!!! (9/10)

Banana Caramel Crepe (95K) - a delicate warm crepe with two grande scoops of oreo and strawberry cheese cake icecream, slices of banana all drizzled with caramel sauce, served with whipped cream and almond nibs. I'm not a crepe person but super love with their soft pancake mix with banana and strawberry cheesecake ice cream (another fav in haagen dazs) yuhuuu!!! Perfect!!! (10/10)

Life's too short to say no to cake 
Ordering their instagrammable cake and totally fall in love with this one: Safa (55K) - Pandan mousse, homemade kaya jam, coconut namelaka, pandan sponge and coconut crunch. A perfect combination of pandan and srikaya. I’m neither a pandan nor kaya fans but this one is too good to resist and refreshing as well (9/10)
Earl Berries (55K) - earl grey bavarian mousse, strawberry & raspberry coulis, charcoal chiffon, black chocolate glaze and charcoal vanilla namelaka.  With the flavoursome and fragrant of the bold earl grey mix with chocolate and berries, yes it is totally unique and yummy at the same time (9/10)

Chocolate Cheesecake (55K) - vanilla cream cheese mousse, baked chocolate cheesecake, light chocolate almond sponge and chocolate biscuit base. Simple but quite good. Not almond fan but love the taste of that cream cheese though (8/10)

Box of 2 (40K) - we could pick 4 flavours of choux:
Mango Lassi: mango greek yogurt mousse and mango gel: uwuu so refreshing and good. Love this one! Mango n yogurt definitely couldn't resist it! (9/10)

Chocolate Baileys: baileys mousse, chocolate baileys sauce *contains alcohol - YASSS this is one totally melted in my mouth. Cryyyy ! So good, that baileys love it! Simple but execute perfectly (10/10)
The place is quite small, if you want to sit there, it's like 1/10 chance so I highly recommend you to take away!

You deserve good things, like bubble tea.
So, let's have a boba drink this day. A boba from bake a boo, one of the famous shop in Pluit. I follow bake a boo since it's newbie till now. Love their birthday cake creation and now it's boba drink and donuts edition.

Brown sugar boba fresh milk (28K) - it's great! Love the boba itself, chewy and sweet. And for the drink, it's not too sweet so it balance well with the boba (8/10)

Salted caramel regal latte (23K) - I guess it's a little bit off, it's quite unbalance between sc & regal. The regal is overpowered and cover the sc's taste (6/10)

The place itself is quite small, I recommend to takeaway. But I love their mayo and ragout risoles, so yum!

Enjoy the happiness of hot pot, Double flavor challenge your taste.
As I couldn't eat spicy soup like Mala so this is my kind of double flavor - the combination 2 flavor soup (128K) - Pork bone soup and chicken collagen soup. Both is great but my personal fav is their pork bone soup. So creamy but savoury taste at the same time. The price is incl one time refill for each soup.

Add some balls and wonton to my soup:
Fresh pork shrimp (58K) - love it, that pork filling is yum!
Fuzhou fish ball (58K) - it's totally their recommendation, nice, great filling
Leek and pork suikiaw (48K) - their best seller and yes it's yummy! 
Fish paste (55K) - their prawn paste is sold out, so try this one. It's delicious though! and not fishy at all
Deep fried beancurd (32K) - quite good, but it's too hard to chew compare to 8tre
Deep fried salted fish skin (58K) - similar like irvin, less sweet but crunchy enough

Add two kinds noodle to my hot pot:
Sweet potato noodle thin (28K) - so gooood! unique, chewy and light
Egg noodles (25K) - eatandtreats recommendation and it's quite nice
And yes we've got the condiments to mix as well.

It's incomplete without some meat to put, so I order: 
Pig stomach (68K) - yass! this one is good. My sist' recommendation, chewable.
AUS pork belly (88K) - just okay, nothing special
Iberico pork callar (168K) - this one taste great and it's worth to dip inside that pork bone soup.
Special marinated beef (98K) - I think I'm beef team. Love it more than the beef one
US angus prime ribs (138K) - this would be the hero of today's meat. It's thin, medium and tender. What a great beef! 

Yes it's #dirumahaja so extra delivery fee (100K) and pot+stove set (100K). But it's quite worth it for first trial. And the packaging is neat and clean too. Not a surprise from SGYX. Full protection and preparation! 

Dessert is like a feel-good song and the best ones make you dance.
Like this one - Framboise (40K) is fresh raspberry cake, layered, and this one totally the best cake ever in Jakarta. Superb good and worth it! (10/10)

Gateaux choco (36K) - simple melted chocolate with japanese cream on top. A very light sponge cake with icing yuhuuu superb good. And I love it for not being too sweet (8/10)

Avocado Latte (25K) - I'm a sweet tooth but I could easily say that this is the best latte in Jakarta. Super creamy, bold avo, milky, love it! And the price is affordable as well. Please choose ice instead of hot, triple yummy  (10/10)

I have to say, sushi freaks me out more than almost anything 
Another dish supporting #dirumahaja is my fav sushi aka sushi hiro. Today's dinner will be sushiiiii and don takeaway! I order some of their absolutely great dish for dine in. I could say that sushi hiro is a great place to dine in with great and attentive services.

Aburi salmon belly (70K/4pcs) - always be my favorite dish and their aburi salmon belly is definitely the best in Jakarta for me. It's torched beautifully and taste amazing as well! (10/10)

Salmon volcano bomb (40K/2pcs) - not my fav, it's too spicy even though the filling is delicious. My mom also admit it's too spicy (6/10)

Unagi roll (200K) - when you said unagi, it's not shocking if it's expensive compare to other dish. But I think it's quite good. Just lack of unagi sweet sauce (7/10)

Chicken teriyaki roll (75K) - I'm big fan of their special chicken teri don, so I tried the sushi. Don't expect full of flavor like the don, it's just okay! (7/10)
Ultimate truffle gyudon (85K) - oh yes! this one is delicious too. And it's more delicious if you mix that runny egg yolk and mix it with the beef and rice. Double the flavor!! (9/10)

Salmon teriyaki alacarte (75K) - crispy outside and tender inside. The teriyaki sauce is significant key for this dish, boost the overall taste! (9/10)

When life throws you lime, make key lime pie instead 
Thx to perkul info to find out which restaurant and cafe that participate this free delivery things. With tnc ofcourse. Seriously, I want to try Ann's bakehouse since years ago but it's too far from my place. So, this free delivery supporting #dirumahaja is a superb great deal because it's 65K for delivery fee from their place to my home.

Trying their signature dessert: KEY LIME PIE (360K/round 20cm) - omg cryyy! So goood. It's perfect combination between creamy, sweet, tangy, light and refreshing at the same time in one spoonful. That crumble give extra crunch too. Love it! But it's a bit pricey though. And the service is attentive & fast response too.

Everything you see, I owe to spaghetti.
This time is also... spaghetti mania for today!

Classic spaghetti bolognaise (48K) - would be my fav of bolognaise because it's a sweet tipe, lil bit sour and perfect savoury! (10/10)

Aglio Olio (48K) - not a spicy fan so I order it without chili and surprisingly the taste is delicious. Great seasoning, big portion, wise price (8/10)

Churros (45K) - dusted with sugar served with thai tea, pandan and chocolate dips. My fav is their thai tea dips, so thai, creamy but not too sweet. And love the churros itself (9/10)

Salted caramel popcorn cold brew (40K) - definitely my fav coffee. It's superrrr goood! Great combination between scpopcorn & coffee. Not too sweet, creamy and addictive lol! Always order this whenever I come just for takeaway or dine in (10/10)
