SINSA WARUNG KOREA

Glad to finally tried Warung Sinsa! It's been a while! Sinsa Ramyun was here at Muara Karang but suddenly, they're gone. But now, they're here again, moving to a new place and new concept, Warung Sinsa. Worry not, their past menus are still available in Jjigae House, with a little add on, here and there.

Here in Warung Sinsa, they came with new concept by serving some skewers and of course, Indomie with Korean-style.

ASIATALE

Let's go east! This time, we're going to Asiatale! A modern chinese restaurant located at Senopati, South Jakarta. The place is easy to find, as you can see it right away at the main Senopati street it's big iconic logo, Chinese Wine Jar.

NEGIYA DONBURI

Negiya Donburi has taken a lot of Jakarta people's heart since it first opened at Citywalk Sudirman. I've heard about it for a long time but haven't got a chance to try it. And finally, it's my chance now! :D

Negiya Donburi itself have largen up their company by opening lots of outlet, such as Kota Kasablanka, Pacific Place & PIK Avenue. They're popular with their Menya Gyutandon, For those who can't eat pork/lard, you don't need to worry because Negiya Donburi serves no pork or lard.

GAYA GELATO JAKARTA

Welcoming the newest Gelato Bar in town, straight from Bali! Say hi to Gaya Gelato! Located at the infamous culinary area, Pantai Indah Kapuk, Gaya Gelato succeed to stole our attention!

I've never been to their original place in Ubud, Bali; but I heard that their gelato are good. So, finally now it's my turn to try it!

SHABU GHIN

You know that moment when you are very very very hungry and usual food won't please you? The answer is: all you can eat buffet! I was hungry and thought that maybe this is the perfect place to come, and it is true.

Shabu Ghin located at Senopati, South Jakarta. They opened from 11 AM till 11 PM. The place is quite cozy, and homey, with some Japanese decoration (of course). They got a second floor (maybe 1.5 floor since it's just a few stairsteps) that enough for big parties to come.

FŪJIN

For this time, we're visiting Fūjin, located at Senopati, South Jakarta. The idea of Fūjin, as quoted from their website, is "to apply traditional Japanese’s art of service, ‘omotenashi’- where thoughtfulness, dedication, meticulous attention to details are key elements".  That's surely a very interesting concept of cuisine for us to try.

MAROUSH

Merhaba! A few weeks ago, I got a chance to come to Maroush, a middle eastern restaurant, located at Crowne Plaza Hotel, South Jakarta. It's an interesting visit, since I've never tasted any middle eastern food before.

SUSHI GROOVE

Welcoming the fresher look of Sushi Groove! After a long journey, Sushi Groove finally changed their looks. The place is now a lot more fun and colorful, with bright yellow light that gives you a warm feeling.

Months ago, I was invited to Sushi Groove's outlet at Grand Indonesia to introduce their new look. Actually, they have another outlets, such as at Mall Taman Anggrek, Kota Kasablanka, Pondok Indah Mall 2, and Setiabudi One.

NOODLE KING

Say hello to the newest Korean Noodle Restaurant at Pantai Indah Kapuk! Noodle King is here right at the first block of Rukan Crown Golf, PIK, right between Shirokuma and Martabak Pecenongan. If you ever heard about Han-Ok Korean BBQ before, this is the place! The owner is Korean and they opened this restaurant this year.

Actually, Noodle King is one of my project with some friends. The branding (logo, menu, etc) was made by Shendy Subroto (@shendysubroto) and the Interior made by Rhandy Adriyanto (@rhandystudio). And me, I got the photography part, where I have to take a picture of the food for their menu and wall decoration.

COFFEE KULTURE | BAYWALK MALL

Who knows that coffee trend is still going on in Jakarta. Well here it is, Coffee Kulture is opening it's second outlet at Baywalk Mall! Yippie! :D

The place is much brighter and bigger than the first outlet at Muara Karang. I like this second outlet more because the ambience is more homey & warmer than the first one, plus I like the new branding more ;)

THE CUBBYHOLE CANTEEN

I've never noticed this place every time I passed the street, the place is barely crowded & doesn't look like a restaurant from the outside. Until one day, I got invited by Hello Smithies for a food tasting session at this restaurant. The food was splendid! I went there again for the second time. This place is located at Jl. Senopati no. 66, right beside Collete & Lola. The building have 3 levels, where the 1st level is for the restaurant, and the 2nd & 3rd is a craft shop, named Temple Trees.

H GOURMET & VIBES

H Gourmet & Vibes already attracted me since the first time they opened around last year. Especially their ultimate and famous Meat & Bread dishes. Finally, I got a chance to try 'em with my fellow mates from JUNO Production. The place is actually inside a shared building, and the restaurant is at the 3rd floor with smoking & non-smoking area. The ambience in here is nice, with lots of wooden furniture and vintage decorations.

P.S.: The big clock behind the bar is a real life clock! :p

NATIVE COFFEE TRIBE

So happy to hear that there's a new coffee shop opened at Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta Utara. The place is really easy to find because it's located at the newest shop region in PIK, where there's still a few place that opened, right in front of PIK's Hospital.


Native Coffee Tribe have a lovely homey indoor & outdoor space, with classic wood interior. Although the outdoor space is pretty small with only two tables. The indoor is also quite small but enough for quite a lot of people.

BRADLEY'S BRITISH TEA HOUSE

"If you are cold, tea will warm you. If you are heated, it will cool you. If you are depressed, it will cheer you. If you are excited, it will calm you." I found a pretty interesting experience while I was here.  Even though the place is quiet small, but the interior and the decoration felt so homey. The place is quite easy to find. Located right in front of Legend of Noodles and beside MOJO Kitchen & Bar, Senopati.

SINSA RAMYUN BAR

I always had an eye every time I passed Sinsa Ramyun's Muara Karang outlet. And I was really happy when I got the invitation to try their new outlet at Taman Kemang! If you couldn't found the place, actually this outlet was The Stacks Burger before, right beside LIN Artisan Ice Cream. The place's quiet big, with lots of yellow and black colour.

B'STEAK GRILL & PANCAKE

Every end of the year, I always wondered where should I spend this Christmas & New Year with my friends, family and dearest one. It's always hard to find the perfect place to spend the holiday with. Until I found out about B'Steak newest menu, special for this year, Christmas & New Year Set Menu!

I got a chance to try it in advance to tell you guys how much worth to try this menu is!

SUGAR MINISTRY

"The great thing about cake is, it doesn't feel like work. You forget about work. Kids, adults, they all get the same look in their eye when they're decorating cakes. That's the magic right there." - Duff Goldman.

This quote is representing the feeling that I get when I see Sugar Ministry's Cakes. Finally they opened their very first shop at Jl. Mandara Permai VII, Pantai Indah Kapuk!
I always adore their cakes, first of all, the taste is really great & the cake itself is really soft and not too sweet (just perfect!). Second, their presentation is super BEAUTIFUL  ♥  If you ever see the cake, they make almost everything, just from icing. So talented!

The owner itself is one of my best friend's sister, Natasha. Yeay, and congratulations, Ci! ♥
