DEL'IMMO PATISSERIE AND CAFE TOKYO - AEON MALL BSD CITY

To be completely honest, I have never heard about this patisserie before, but short to say, anything Japanese excites me, so when I saw this coming on my friend’s Snapchat and after they actually tagged me on Instagram, I look no further not to try this.

Yo I just came back from my Bandung trip and I have received like A LOT requests from my Instagram and Snapchat followers to write a quick blog post of my Bandung trip! Your wish is my command here's to you! I love writing quick travel post like this because I know how tardy I am with my travel posts, especially when I have to write each and every post of restaurants I am visiting, with the amount of works I have in town, sometimes I just can’t handle! So many works to do so little time!

PIGEONHOLE COFFEE - BINTARO, JAKARTA

Three minutes away from Kopi Manyar, there's another new coffee shop opening called the Pigeonhole coffee, went here for a quick catch up with friends earlier today and chill around here!

KOPI MANYAR - BINTARO, JAKARTA

I first saw this coffee shop from someone I follow on Instagram, it was so beautifully taken that it made me more and more curious about this coffee shop, especially for its "house" look, rather than the common ones in town.

So a couple of days ago I went to the opening of this new food court called "Food Container" (review here) and Kopi Manyar was next on our list. It was pretty tricky finding it at the first time as there wasn't any clear signage, but as long as you're in touch with Waze, you should be safe! From outside, Kopi Manyar looks like this minimalistly designed house with small words of "Kopi Manyar" written on the window glass.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOMZ JAKARTA - NOMZ 1ST ANNIVERSARY DINNER!

It’s almost unrealistic that Nomz is turning 1 today!

I remember vividly the day I visited Nomz on the third day of its opening last year, and I had a weekend brunch with some food blogger friends! Wrote a review about it that you can read here.

I attended Nomz first anniversary bloggers’ dinner a week ago and short to say, Nomz is aging gracefully, but you gotta keep on reading to know why.

FOOD CONTAINER JAKARTA - LEBAK BULUS

The growing F&B trend at the moment has got to be "food court", or fancier described as "one stop dining destination". After Pasar Santa, Food Fighters, and Southbox, now we're welcoming the newest addition to the scene: FOOD CONTAINER, a brand new food court themed dining destination which just opened literally today in Lebak Bulus.

Getting here is quite easy, if you're pretty blind to the area, you can just google "Hotel Keraton", and Food Container is going to be beside the hotel, if you make your way via Jalan Lebak Bulus Raya, it's located before the hotel, on your left side. It's pretty eye catching and colorful, almost impossile not to notice.

BOBBAHOUSE JAKARTA (CITRA 6) - NEW MENUS

Bobbahouse is a humble cafe located along the Citra 6 boulevard, a.k.a paradise for food enthusiasts, especially those living in the west! Personally for me, Citra 6 is a growing neighborhood for F&B, I can really see that area becoming PIK like in a few months, all because of the rapid growing number of cafes and restaurants. Bobbahouse was among the first to join the crowd, and they’re quite popular for their unique and delicious bubble drinks creations and their signature dessert you can’t find anywhere else (at least for now), Pannekoek. More of that later.

TONY ROMAS MAXXBOX LIPPO VILLAGE - KARAWACI // WITH A PLEASANT SURPRISE!!!

I don’t even know how to begin praising Tony Roma’s.

Most importantly, I don’t even know if I need to, simply because everyone else already did.

Even when you ask your own friends to recommend you the best ribs in Jakarta, I am confident enough to bet that the name “Tony Roma’s” will be on the list!

CARIBOU COFFEE INDONESIA - SENOPATI, JAKARTA

Welcoming Caribou Coffee to Indonesia! This United States origin coffeeshop brand finally made its way to our country and pretty common, the city of Jakarta is their first destination. My friend who studied in the US once told me about Caribou, not in the very detailed way but I remembered he mentioned about this brand, and I got the chance to experience it myself today as me and my friend visited to see what they had in store!

NEGIYA DONBURI JAKARTA

If you’re an avid fan of Menya’s Gyu Tan Don, you better read this post!

Gyu Tan Don (GTD) is certainly one of the most happening culinary trend in Jakarta at the moment, and I have noticed that restaurants (even those who are not actually Japanese) started to expand their menu by adding the item to their menu. I personally like GTD, even though I am not like crazy about it, but occassionally I would order. If you guys are not familiar with Gyu Tan Don, it’s a kind of Japanese rice dish where in Japanese itself, “Gyu” means “ox”, “Tan” means “tongue”, and “Don” is “rice bowl”, so it’s simply described as ox tounge rice bowl.

ARC ACADEMY ROASTERY CAFE SINGAPORE

Instagram has been benefiting me in so many ways, especially in the world that I am currently living my life in, I am talking about the F&B and travelling. I have personal experiences where expanding your friendship on Instagram will help you in certain ways, and believe me I don’t mean one of those ass-kissing social climbers kind of benefit, it’s truly the positive one. You know me, I love going to new cafes and even though I am Indonesian, but my kiasu-ness is Singapore certified (LOL), one of the perks of making friends with locals is having sort of a guide showing you the best of what their city has in store, only this time is your friend.

My friend, Zippy (@zippyzipeng), told me about this very-very newly opened place called ARC at Sultan Road, and as this post is written, it's just 3 days old, so I guess this would be a good entry to share to you.

SURABAYA NEW CAFES AND FOOD DIARY

Hello from the other side! From Surabaya I mean.

They say it’s the city of heroes, but Surabaya for me, geez, such a land with so many F&B ventures to explore, and since my blogging mood is so on right now, I am writing this post just to show you guys the places that I have been visiting for the last two days here, including some of the very new ones and those I simply never skip.

Special thanks to my dear friend @jackmagnifico for showing me around everytime I am in Surabaya. You gotta follow this guy as he takes friggin’ good food pictures!

MILKCOW INDONESIA - GANDARIA CITY, JAKARTA

TADAAA WELCOMING MILKCOW TO INDONESIA!

This Korean origin milk soft serve brand is now expanding its business to Indonesia and they chose Jakarta as always their first harbour of business expansion, after previously opening in countries such as South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Malaysia.

FUJIN TEPPANYAKI JAKARTA

Heyho! Back from my short hiatus and my short trip to Bandung, but I am back with so many to share to you, and in this post I am going to be talking about this newly opened modern Japanese restaurant in Senopati called FUJIN!

Ok, a little background, Fujin is a new venture by the Biko group, which also owns establishments such as Pao Pao and Beer Garden. If you’ve dined in Rayjin (Seminyak) before, then I had a good feeling that you’re gonna love this, it’s basically Rayjin, translated to the Jakarta market and born Fujin.
