Hari ini ga cuma minum kopi bray, tapi aku juga pesen kopitory yang searea sama flip burger. Kalo kalian tipe peminum kopi ringan, boleh sih cobain KOPI KSUBI (15K) - espresso, milk, aren.
Nah jadi sebenernya menurutku kopi ringan is alright asal komposisinya pas seperti kopi ksubi ini, dan harganya pun tergolong murah compare kopi susu lain. Sangat menyarankan untuk digojek karena tempatnya kecil gitu 
Untuk pelayanan ya oke, cuma kopi susu simple fix cepet bikinnya. Dia jualan macem2 sih tapi kurang demen yang terlalu unik takut kayak kopi bray nasibnya hahaha

Karena ada meeting disini jadi sekalian makan di Bushido, salah satu resto jepang authentic yang lawas tapi isinya mayoritas orang jepang atau yang punya bisnis di jepang karena mereka ngomongnya bahasa jepang ato ga ya bisnis2 jepang gitu (sedikit menguping karena mereka ngomongnya kenceng banget).

Dari soal harga jujur termasuk murah karena porsinya juga gila banget, apalagi set lunchnya ga wajar fix. Pelayanannya meskipun tua2 tapi cepet kerjanya dan masakannya juga cepet sih, ditambah free ice cream at the end yay!!

Aku gaikut bayar sih tapi yang jelas affordable menurut temenku. Jadi yang set lunch pertama itu ada wheat soba, sushi roll, sushi sashimi, tempura moriawase, salad and chawanmushi. Sampe bingung banyak banget dan enak2 semua. Tempuranya crispy banget, chawanmushinya enakkk... Nah satu lagi yang temenku pesen itu mirip sih cuma bedanya dia rice something dan aku ga cobain karena lebih dikit ya 

If you're big fans of salmon, let's go to salmon heaven at sushi masa. Honestly, compare to the 2 years ago I've visit here, it's downgrade but compare to all sushi brand at Jakarta right now, still the defending champion of sushi lol. As the kobe and special beef are sold out, so we opted for their salmon:

SPECIAL HOTATE GURATAN (110K) - grilled cooked scallop with cheese. The one and only non salmon for tonight. But definitely one of the best. Love the freshness and that cheeeese is melted so good (9/10)

SALMON ABURI SUSHI (17K) - so goood. I love all dish that has aburi on their name lol. It's so good, partially raw & grilled dayum (8/10)

SALMON BELLY ABURI SUSHI (37K) - oh yes this is must order menu!! That fatty cut salmon belly that is partially grilled on top. OMG whoever created this dish is so smart - delicious smokey and creamy flavour in one hap (10/10)

SALMON BELLY SUSHI (17K) - If you love the raw one, go for this! Yes another thick cut salmon belly, just put a little soyu and you could feel that salmon swim inside your belly (10/10)

SALMON SHIO KOMBU (20K) - black sugar inari with salmon shio kombu. Big fan of inari but they have unique flavor like apple, ocha, plum and this black sugar. Another genius idea to combine those kind of flavor, but seriously the hero of this dish is the used of salmon shio kombu on top that give interesting combination (9/10)

SALMON KABUTO MENTAI (55K) - okay this is the most simple dish with simple flavor. Not my favorite, it just not totally work with that mentai (7/10)
*price above is per pc

SALMON TATAKI (95K) - lightly roasted salmon served with teriyaki sauce thickened extra ginger. My all time favorite for the past 2 years but I find it a little bit different. It's still delicious but I didn't find that 'perfect-magic' taste anymore (9/10)

SALMON ZUKE DON (120K) - bowl of rice with marinated salmon topped with egg and salmon roe. This one is great but already tried the best one at ok*zo*o, the egg somehow ruins the flavor combination (8/10)

SPICY SALMON HANA ROLL (70K) - half boiled salmon with spicy mayo sauce. It's yum but it's served everywhere now (8/10)

Cozy place. Attentive and great service. Queue still on but not crazy like the past 2 years. Still love their salmon dish but some magic flavor is turned off so they should find it again (as I see their rating is slightly fall down)

The vibes are amazing, so green and it feels like you're in your backyard full of flowers and so instagrammable. There's two areas, non smoking area (with dim light and great for having lunch) and smoking area (brighter, feels like in greenhouse - I do sit in here as the non smoking is full and must wait for about 2 hours) but I love the outside vibes way better. The services are amazing as well, they know their product well, so attentive and helpful. Let's talk about their food:

For the starters, I ordered PORK DONUTS (70K) - 24 hr braised pork shoulder with hoisin mayo. Not my kind of starter, it's good but I do expect more bold flavor and it taste like combro if you know (Indonesian fried potato snack). But that hoisin mayo is great and add unique flavor to that crunch donuts (7/10)

From the josper grill, I  tried their BARRAMUNDI BAKAR JIMBARAN (180K) with kangkung plecing, toasted coconut serundeng and nasi gurih. I tried a little because it's superb spicy but it taste delicious. That barramundi is soft, tender and grilled perfectly. The rice taste great as well, if you're a spicy lover go for this one!! (8/10) 

For the mains, we ordered CHICKEN TERIYAKI with sauteed mushroom and teriyaki sauce (.....K): okay so the menu in here and in ismaya website is not updated yet and I do forgot the exact price of this one, but it's taste good. Not kind of chicken  teriyaki that I usually eat, it's more like chinese cuisine with veges on top (8/10)

And their must order menu - WAGYU BIBIMBAP BOWL (140K) - wagyu beef yakiniku, poached egg, ikura, nori, japanese curry. So, as it name bibimbap - you should mix the elements altogether. This is korean comfort food with japanese fusion, so they used japanese curry instead of gochujang sauce. The wagyu beef is the star of this dish and gotta say I like this one better, and yes that ikura definitely pull all of the flavors together  (10/10)
For the drinks, we ordered MOOD ENHANCER (60K); STRAWBERRY FIZZ REFRESHER (60K) consists of coconut, strawberry, aloe vera, chia seed and basil - this is my friend's order so just taste a little bit and it's fresh! Definitely not artificial one, and it's great as it cleans the palate of spicy barramundi earlier.
As for me, I ordered their original favorite are GARDEN SPECIALTEAS - there's 5 types: exotic, floral, fruity, spiced and herbal. I opted for their FLORAL (60K) - chamomile tea, french flower, lavender and dry rose bud. OMG AMAZINGGG!!! I do wonder how they could make a taste like that -- it's taste flavorful, flowerful and fruitful lol. Truly a sweet cup of tea that really pleasing and soothing my mind.  PLEASE BEWARE you couldn't refill it and it comes in a small amount (yes it's expensive but if you compare with their premium ingredients to make this tea, it's worth it!! PERFECT POINT FOR THIS TEA!! 10/10)

Bisa dibilang salah satu tempat paling pewe either buat ngobrol or kerjain tugas itu ya Lewis & Carroll. Typical clean bright and spacious place yang ambiencenya oke banget. Dari segi pelayanan no complaint, gercep dan attentive banget. Uda cobain semua dessert dia mendadak pas mau kesini balik makan dessert, mereka mengganti sederetan plated dessert dengan yang baru, dan jujur banyak yang menarik dan kekinian.

Tapi karena rencananya masi mau makan malam dan wafflenya lagi sold out jadi cobain menu HOTPLATE DESSERT (68K) consists of warm chocolate brownies, crispy crouton, cappucino sauce and vanilla ice cream. And it's tasty!! I gotta admit that they never failed me in terms of plated dessert . Konsepnya sebagian besar unik, Komposisi dan kombinasi rasanya jago, platingnya cantik dan overall tastenya amazing.

Untuk minumnya, selalu goes to my old favorite dan ini juga best seller mereka yaitu VITALITEA, lupa komponennya tapi yang jelas paling enak, ga terlalu pait dan enjoyable 

Come here with no expectation like seriously setiap ke bandung cobain cafe yang hits tapi selalu kayak ga sesuai sama ekspektasi gitu. Tempatnya lumayan tersembunyi, pas masuk pewe sih jujur walaupun mejanya kecil2. Pelayanannya cepat dan masaknya pun termasuk kilat.

MUSHROOM MELTS (49K) - melted cheese and sauteed mushrooms on top of toasted country bread served with potato chips. Jujur awalnya skeptis, pikir bakal biasa aja. Turns out to be one of the best yang pernah aku makan. Ini simple banget ingredientsnya tapi each elemnt seasoningnya pas banget dan ga enek at all. Plus temenku yang vegetarian suka banget (soalnya kemarin2 gaada makanan enak yang bisa dia makan)

BANANA FRENCH TOAST (49K) - french toast, flame grilled banana, mascarpone, walnuts and maple syrup. Kalo yang ini versi sweettooth-nya. Jadi kita emang pesen dua yang best untuk sharing. Dan ini juga gakalah simple bahannya tapi mereka bisa combine semuanya jadi enak banget! Oh ada mini granola yang kasi extra crunchiness juga. Me approve sih ini! Dan jujur jauh lebih enak daripada cafe2 hits lain. Plus again, harganya lebih affordable dan porsinya giant

HOT ORANGE HONEY LATTE (40K) - Aduh suka banget sama yang ini. Kopinya strong, tapi orange honeynya juga bold jadi ga kebanting sama kopinya. LOVE it
