It’s considered to be very expensive drink for Starbucks with I think it was around Rp75-85k per cup but well, my life is literally complete in seconds. At first I didn’t expect much cause I thought it would just taste like a regular ice vanilla frappuccino but well - Starbucks Dewata really outdone themselves, from the sweetness level of perfect & blended and mixed beautifully.

Never have I ever seen an ‘appetizer’ this huge! I was sold the moment I saw ‘AVOCADO’ in the description and wow, this is one filling dish. The sashimi is just like the starter that I ordered - fresh & amazing. Having three combinations of fish + prawn is just the perfect pairing that they created. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561627463730-C2ESW0PZWF2ZAU5FWD7Z/IMG_8454.JPG Bali, Indonesia - Sayan House - Ubud, Bali King Prawn Jambalaya - Marinated King Prawn and Squid, Jambalaya rice with pork juice, Cajun spice, Vegetables, Boiled eggs & Wasabi aioli: I’m not really a big fan of Jambalaya style food but the fact that they make a great prawn with lots of spices made me lost in words. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561627461791-0F3241NJJ8QMP6A04QMZ/IMG_8455.JPG Bali, Indonesia - Sayan House - Ubud, Bali Sushi : i really can’t put it in my head which one is this but the fact that it’s just meh makes me stop thinking about the name real fast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561627475906-PDZPKHYG4NPCS3JDX2WM/IMG_8456.JPG Bali, Indonesia - Sayan House - Ubud, Bali Chicken Nanban - Garlic & Ginger marinated fried chicken, Nanban DASHI, Tartar sauce, Salsa Mexicana, Corlander Leek Salad: One simple dish that you can easily find in any Japanese restaurant but somehow, the crispiness of this Nanban Chicken creates a whole different level of fantastic(ness). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561627489842-WMY0HPB6Y6D48C12B4WG/IMG_8457.JPG Bali, Indonesia - Sayan House - Ubud, Bali Los Dewayan Tacos - Tempe Tempura, Romaine lettuce, Onion, Paprika, Salsa Mexicana, Sayan house sauce: I would say all of their tacos are nice. The way that they don’t really use that much sauce for this one is pretty nice to wash all of the spices I’ve tasted in other dishes.

Price-wise is pretty expensive and they can be bargained - so try to at least bargain 50% of their original price. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561450773768-1A8ANU1ZBJ9RRLWQ9TOO/FullSizeRender.jpg Bali, Indonesia - Tropical Mood. 3. Krisna Oleh-Oleh Bali Bypass: Krisna gift shop is the most popular place in Bali for people to buy souvenirs (especially their Barong shirt). This new location is the largest one in Bali and they have Tanamera Coffee too. I feel that you should visit their other locations if you’re specifically looking for Barong shirt cause they don’t sell it in this spot. However, it could be your last destination if you’re looking to visit somewhere new in Bali. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561450351499-UWRM5GOXM96Y6CYYX2D4/IMG_6720.JPG Bali, Indonesia - Tropical Mood. 4. Campuhan Ridge Walk: Looking for some fresh air and complete green scenery? Perfectly located in Ubud, it is the best place for you to take a stroll in the evening before you’re having your dinner. This spot has a hilltop view that will leave you in awe - wear comfortable shoes cause it goes uphill. This is one of the best ways to get out of the busy street of Bali. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561455125472-TFYOOVCWF7F66RJ1H0O0/D17729AA-18AF-467F-A335-82172233ADB5.jpeg Bali, Indonesia - Tropical Mood. 5. Omnia Bali: The infamous day club in Uluwatu that is heavily advertised EVERYWHERE, literally. I made the mistake of making a reservation at Sake No Hana because I have been told it’s a good Japanese restaurant (not a fan though, disappointed at its best). This was open about a year ago and it has been crowded ever since! Still, after a year, It was still crowded when I went there on Monday but indeed this place is great for you to hangout with your friends (or party in Bali haha!). It is known to be super expensive and a lot of famous guest DJs play here. It is actually the first day club they open in the world, if you’ve known this famous first location in Las Vegas - then you would know how popular this place is. Sigh, kinda miss Vegas tho! But definitely gotta book your spot here on a weekday if you’re coming here with your fam! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561455164603-ZJIF8XOMVH0SSON4KW7B/IMG_6542.jpeg Bali, Indonesia - Tropical Mood. 6. Expat Coffee Roasters: Many cafes use Expat’s coffee beans cause they’re just so so so good! Freshly brewed every day, Expat offers great coffee with limited seatings - kinda give you the work and coffee vibe. When you enter their cafe - you can literally smell the perfect coffee smell that makes you want to order their coffee ASAP - and indeed, it is a great coffee shop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561455220029-49QINLX8026KKDZFT0FS/20190603_175811.jpeg Bali, Indonesia - Tropical Mood. 7. La Plancha: Unique beach club / lounge by the beach in Kuta. I’d recommend for you to come early around 5 pm to be able to get the beanbags spot to watch the sunset. Don’t expect a clean-perfect place, it is more into colorful spot with a lot of umbrellas too. They don’t have that much of bites or small plates or desserts so it’s better for you to just get a drink here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561455260515-L3MMOQVCKAELNMB940Q8/IMG_6301.jpeg Bali, Indonesia - Tropical Mood. 8. Ulu Cliffhouse: The next level view in Uluwatu. Wonderfully located up in the hill, you get what I can call ‘a million dollar view.’ It literally embraces the Uluwatu view from the top. You are able to go to the beach too by going down the stairs. A perfect view of the cliffs from the top with great selections of wine by the glass will definitely complete your Bali trip! Try to make a reservation beforehand to secure the best spot for you to enjoy the sunset. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/new-blog/2019/6/6/ubud-bali-9468h monthly 0.5 2019-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1559837127589-LKWBIV5PRIHZCBNAH6FI/FullSizeRender.jpg Bali, Indonesia - Ubud, Bali.

They mix the Bali Kintamani and Sumatra coffee. Honestly? It’s too bitter&too strong but in a bad way. The taste of the bitterness is making me wanna stop drinkin it all together after one sip. Just didn’t work at all. Medium Dark Roast - Sumatra Gayo: this is my most fav filtered coffee in Seniman. Taste-wise is just right on point. I can taste abit of chocolatey and it has a nice thickness to it. Lighter Roast - Bali Karana Madu: call me a girl with lots of high expectations, this one is just okay but not a big fan of it. It’s pretty bland and too light (i know it’s called ‘Lighter Roast’ for a reason but it just doesn’t work for me). On a side-note, I am a fan of their smell. It’s has a light-medium kinda smell. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1559835144572-3DX0H6J57WXYQ9QIIXBR/IMG_5248.JPG Bali, Indonesia - Seniman Coffee Studio - Ubud, Bali The Shop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1559835165780-7UCNJQV9B1YFIBI2PE2Y/IMG_5247.JPG Bali, Indonesia - Seniman Coffee Studio - Ubud, Bali The Workshop. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/new-blog/2018/11/20/parachute-bali monthly 0.5 2019-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1546884924540-NXJXB1D4FQI1WBIZT7W3/IMG_1237.JPG Bali, Indonesia - Parachute - Bali Brussel Sprouts (discontinued): The best of the best!

I am a Salmon person, I am addicted to SALMON! Yes I do. This dish is simple yet delish in different way. Like for instance, the mustard. Dear food god, this is sooo good! It makes the dish itself appetizing. And damn, the taste? ugh, don’t even ask about this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1542771459724-NWVBKAWIWFXH7HPLIKZH/IMG_1893.JPG Bali, Indonesia - Sisterfields - Bali Sisterfields Big Breakfast: Eggs your way, Bacon, Mushroom, Roasted Tomato, Potato Rosti, Hollandaise, and Sourdough My mom & dad always go for the “safe” kind of brunch dish. The tomato was okay, mushroom, eggs and sourdough are perfect. The only downside is the bacon, we like it crispy and this bacon is just chewy, not crispy. Not a big fan of the bacon but overall it’s still a good breakfast dish to enjoy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1542771575849-SCFH5OA8Y8O540B9BL08/IMG_1889.JPG Bali, Indonesia - Sisterfields - Bali Coffee: GOOD! perfect, a bit light.

The baguette, oof, it’s surreal. I’m not really a big fan of charcuterie(s) to be honest but this one is definitely different. The chicken liver pate is great, Ham is just okay, Duck saucisson is good and omg lentils? dang, it’s definitely a great ending. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1621951316942-68UJ19Y85EHB49BTOMDL/IMG_2438.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Pierre - Jakarta Le Confit: Crispy Duck Leg Confit, Chestnut Puree, Pumpkin - okay this is surprisingly interesting. The duck’s skin cracks perfectly under a fork. Say no more, this is a good one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1621950872318-MCSMDALT8IMTKRLN6146/IMG_2430_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Pierre - Jakarta Poitrine De Cochon Confit: Crispy Pork Belly, Stew of Green Lentils du ‘Puy’ , Root Vegetables Matignon - okay, I think this is one of the leanest Pork Belly I’ve ever eaten.. if I remember it correctly. Lucky for us - it was perfectly cooked. The green lentils make it simple and didn’t even gave us the feeling of guilt when we ate this a little too much! Skin? oof! say no more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1621951371543-WMABBQFK8PIZ2PSU4EK2/IMG_2463.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Pierre - Jakarta L’Entrecote Au Poivre: Black Angus Rib-Eye, White Peppercorn Crust, Brandy Cream Sauce - okaaay, let me tell you about this steak. It’s definitely juicy and good, but turns out it’s not my most favorite dishes here. But definitely, you gotta order this one if you’d like something filling! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1621951414980-0D5N7XZ2GSYSMPLSVOPW/IMG_2462_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Pierre - Jakarta Cassoulet: Streaky Pork Bacon, Pork Sausage, Lamb Shoulder, Duck Leg, Baked in a White Bean Stew. - ladies and gents, we have a winner DING DING DING!

No, just plain no. Not trying to be harsh but.. in a way the rhum itself is strongly weird with the bread being almost showered fully that gives a pretty bad texture, and the cream, one bite is all it takes to make myself stop consuming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1621951538690-V3JVGKRY4M18PWOJD7E3/IMG_2503_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Pierre - Jakarta Creme Brulee: Fresh Tahitian Vanilla Beans Infused Classic Creme Brulee - alright, alright. it’s not as bad as the baba au rhum but seems that the creme brulee is a bit too sweet for me, not my favourite creme brulee sorry to say. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1621951598662-739XK9LAN6TY9QVHSRSN/IMG_2501_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Pierre - Jakarta Burnt Cheesecake: Berry Compote & Fresh Raspberries - the only dessert that I honestly think is pretty good, but since this is a part of Union group, I would still say Union’s New York Cheesecake beats it all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1621951648517-ZQSEO2G1T20P6B64GPTK/IMG_2449_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Pierre - Jakarta Anne & Paul Syrah by glass - Looking at their choices of wine by glass didn’t really excites me and this one proofs it all. The taste is pretty much on the lighter side and a bit dry-ish. The taste is just.. well.. red wine, that’s all. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/jakarta/2021/3/28/wrlwskmfjgy689v6nzhqh5uftm4h54-yckgz monthly 0.5 2021-04-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616943399150-AV598D5CV9B7HTV8BLKQ/IMG_3616.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942465690-IRN8J9KX0A0FEWMDMK64/IMG_3544.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942424252-EQZOPLPQOP9K5KJA6R63/IMG_3542_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942503556-ADMENT1WTA60JT3GPNY8/IMG_3536_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Bites #1 - Crispy Leaves: Sounds weird? you’re not the only one. I had my doubts trying out these leaves but damn. honestly? one bite was all it take to make it unstoppable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942539170-DP7200HG42MZT3QX0V1P/IMG_3548_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Bites #2 - Black rice blini, smoked egg emulsion, crispy black rice: one word - SEND HELP! These bites number 2 is the bomb! The smoked egg emulsion is smoky enough that tastes so so good when you eat it altogether. Swear, if I can order extra - I would (and salivating while typing rn). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942619194-M6S3Q2XGNEXREMBCTFME/IMG_3560_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Bites #3 - Deep fried smoked shallot, cashew sour cream, fermented shallot powder - this bites doesn’t make the cut. It’s just okay, nothing too special. The cashew sour cream is just a bit bland after I had bite number two. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942647030-04ZR9XPW7GK3CM2NNC0A/IMG_3566_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Bites #4 - Pickled mangkok leaf, smoked tofu, aromatic cuko dressing: interesting, interesting. I didn’t have a high expectation for this one. But once again, I’m wrong - yup. the smoked tofu makes it perfect and it almost tastes like tuna somehow. Loving every flavor of these bites! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1617328633612-LAPESDQ2JAYLR2XGE1WT/IMG_6135.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Bites #5 - Hot & Cold Tomato Soup: So… I think they use tomato sorbet for this one to make the ‘cold’ part? It’s a tad weird for me cause it tastes a bit too sweet. Texture wise not really a fan cause it kinda breaks when I eat it together - but good to wash the taste away before getting those main course. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942698341-R6TN7ZJD421OZA8XTV3U/IMG_3576.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Main Course #1: - Scallop ceviche, citrus, smoked peanut milk, pickled fresh peanuts, burned lime oil : Refreshing - that’s the perfect combination of this Bites number 6. I like it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942745792-RNDUIY3VRFV0LY1DQ5NQ/IMG_3582.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) CRAFT DRINKS #1 - Bone Kombucha & Vodka infused orange: too sweet, can’t drink this as the opening of the cocktail pairing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942852022-VOTI8ESFCIP3EW9UDY7E/IMG_3586.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Main Course #2 - Raw Lamb, Kari Kambing Shio Koji, Wild Leaves, Warm Lamb Fat Vinaigrette, Crispy Aromatics: Interesting, a raw lamb. I think as far I can remember, I never tried a raw lamb before. Usually lamb have the tendency to have that kind of unpleasing smell; however, surprisingly this one does not. The wild leaves - oh, they’re just great. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1617329211873-7UQ7A6CB02SCYL0XDXH7/IMG_3592.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) CRAFT DRINKS #2 - Spiced rum, white rum with some syrup that I embarrassingly forgot the name: kinda reminds me some original cocktails that I kinda like. The combination of the ingredients are unique enough but it works, somehow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942992305-4NS44FXYVJS44W1PFRY9/IMG_3594_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Main Course #3 - Mud crab, egg white garum emulsion, duck egg yolk, lots of chives, pickled spring onions: I can honestly say I dislike duck egg yolk starting today. Yup, the smell of the duck egg was just too strong and I couldn’t eat it anymore. The mud crab and pickled spring onions says otherwise though - thankfully they’re able to help to take the taste of the eggyolk. oof, that was rough. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942807973-AU35D4VZRLC4E10UWT2L/IMG_3600.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) CRAFT DRINKS #3 - Arak, daun cervio & tomato consume - one sip and I know I couldn’t take it. it’s slightly a bit too unique for me and it just didn’t work with my preference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616943313819-RH2T9NLQWM8LPS0QZX15/IMG_3626_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Main Course #4 - Fish of the day, charred oyster emulsion, smoked oyster vinaigrette, salted cucumber: easily this fish of the day is good. The crispiness of its skin is oh, perfection. But that was not the highlight of this one - the cucumber though? ohhh nothing else beats’em. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616943341991-R3SFQ9LAA71JXKF33A0L/IMG_3639.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) CRAFT DRINKS #4 - Arak kafir lime syrup & cucumber: wow, this drink is super refreshing!

Love how simple this drink is and this makes a great team with the black chicken! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1617326058368-V1UTJYJGFVC6ACRB8GQC/IMG_3684.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Dessert #1 - Frozen rice porridge, blood berry sorbet, crispy rice, reduced blood berry kombucha: ok I love the sourness of the sorbet - perfect to reset my tastebud. love the rice porridge too - it gives a sense of after-party kind of vibe ;) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1617326085985-GD2SA55327SGF60DAA0T/IMG_3690_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) CRAFT DRINKS #7 - Boni kombucha: I think the this kombucha is one-of a kind with the dessert as part of the pair. It gave me a feeling of confusion in a way - so it left me either/or thinking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1617326119546-17UVLYYLDZJEBHSK1YZU/IMG_3695_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Dessert #2 - Arrowroot brioche, french toast style, sourdough bread miso gelato, mulberries: Ohhh fancy dessert that I LIKE! This is truly a unique dessert that I can’t find it anywhere at all.. I guess. Yup, I can definitely say I approve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1617326160527-UQ1A7WQZQJE5QMO6NHT3/IMG_3709_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) CRAFT DRINKS #8 - Arak miso & caramel: in my head it screams “pretend it’s white wine” and surprisingly - this arak miso is quite like it, in an okay side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1617326203326-U9HWKNL6L3SM2BQHSXUN/IMG_3725.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Dessert #14 - HAS Chocolate (Dark, Milk & White): I honestly only like Compartes Chocolate Bar cause I’m quite picky when it comes to chocolate bars. Don’t get me wrong, these HAS Chocolate bars are okay but not on the perfect side though - sadly. The dark chocolate is not ‘dark’ enough and the milk + white are just ok. The chocolate drink though didn’t make the cut too sadly - too watery for me. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/jakarta/2021/1/22/holaipetakenam-ssz4j monthly 0.5 2021-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1611764797095-NNFN95JFW4RN529EAW9K/IMG_5186.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - HoLai - Petak Enam https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1611764497392-E108T6OIL5OJ8HL24Y0Z/IMG_5135_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - HoLai - Petak Enam Prawn Laksa: Laksa broth with prawn, tofu, bean sprout, fishcake, chili oil, sambal belacan and creamy coconut topped with half-boiled egg. HOLD! hold on, what is this?! Hold. your. thought. Honestly, I am not a huuuge fan of Laksa but this bad boys right here? oh dear - can’t stop, won’t stop. The creaminess of the laksa broth, the prawn - it literally blows ma mind. I absolutely love the thickness of the broth and how all are mixed together really really good! This deserves a 9/10! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1611764532510-0DMEOIXB7XNTUUH50S7O/IMG_5143_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - HoLai - Petak Enam Kwetiaw Gosong: Wok-Hay char kwetiaw with chicken lapchiong, shredded chicken, bean sprout and chives. okay, okay - this kwetiaw is indeed not the same as the usual kwetiaw that you find. There’s a hint of ‘burned’ taste in a good way. I feel that the chicken lapchiong is perfect to top it all because the saltiness of the kwetiaw tastes absolutely perfect when you eat it together with the chicken lapchiong. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1611764575697-7NWF65RQ6A5BFXUHIPXX/IMG_5174_jpg.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - HoLai - Petak Enam Peranakan Chicken Wing: Peranakan-inspired marinated chicken wing fried to crispy with a hint of curry leaf.

Tastewise.. it’s just okay just like a regular seafood fried rice, nothing special - DTF’s Fried Rice is still my favorite unfortunately. But good enough if you’d like to have a filling lunch! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1599321283547-Q1U10T0W1XBKWVD2LOPL/IMG_5600.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Twelve Chinese Dining - Jakarta Stir Fried Pokchoy with Garlic - simple, sharp, to-the-point.

I had to wait 20 minutes alone to enjoy this sandwich. Thankfully though - it tastes quite good. The melted cheese is not too overly cheesy so you can basically finish this by yourself without giving you the ‘too much’ feeling. I can taste a bit of some sweetness in the bread though - prolly the butter that they use. It’s crispy and tasty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1598776422774-Y3KELD3LAF64FH88K6B1/IMG_1430.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Guten Morgen - Jakarta can’t remember the toast name.. but there’s only one sweet toast dish on the menu. It’s actually just ok, as always - the bread itself give me a good impression cause it’s crispy and soft. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1598776398448-TF417AZBFLTS6EWFSNT8/IMG_1429.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Guten Morgen - Jakarta Guten Morgen Breakfast - with tomato salad and toasted bread: Whenever I visit new coffee shops, I will always order their Simple Breakfast dish and it’s always going to be the most important first impression before I indulge in other dishes. This one right here passed my approval rate. The sausage it’s good, bacon is fried correctly, toast? simple but quite give me some good impression. The only downside? isn’t it obvious? - only one slice of bacon (on top of the loooooong wait). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1598776485791-JV62LH478ZT9EJH3A41J/IMG_1314.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Guten Morgen - Jakarta Latte: ok - wow. this latte is quite good. The coffee itself is light but not too light. It kinda give me a mixed of latte & cappuccino vibe. There’s a bit of sweet aftertaste and that my friend, it’s indeed - unique. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1598776517568-WBDW511B9IL2CITNX5GF/IMG_1422.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Guten Morgen - Jakarta Guten Morgen Coffee: ok disclaimer, this coffee is sweet, they put in some brown sugar if I’m not mistaken? So they have 2 different options for this - Americano or Latte style. Obviously, it’s going to be latte style for me case I find it weird if I drink black coffee with sugar. My expectation was like the basic traditional kopi susu but turns out it kinda gives me a different impression. There’s a hint of cinamon-ey taste? and I kinda like it. But …. honestly, it’s better for you to share cause I can’t finish it by myself cause it’s just a bit too sweet. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/jakarta/2020/8/6/1u4no7dncodijym2ksbbmezepyrfj9-x8fk8 monthly 0.5 2020-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1597711203325-HBOAKF5PG60MND8C4NMW/B28CB134-AE3D-4BDF-AED9-28F859F07887.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Kumolo Creative Space - BSD | Jakarta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1597711385918-Q0MY5Q6A656RNDI1INC3/IMG_3708.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Kumolo Creative Space - BSD | Jakarta Kopi Susu Pandan - Kopi susu w/Pandan: I had a quite high expectation cause I've been hearing good things about Guten Morgen Coffee Lab, so I expected this to be able to have a similar unique taste as Kopi Bawah Tangga - cause this is my #1 favorite Es Kopi Susu in Jakarta. But...turns out it's very disappointing. The pandan itself wasn't able to be mixed and the coffee taste is just too bland. I mean don't get me wrong, I can definitely taste the coffee, but it's just.. it didn't match perfectly with the Pandan syrup and Gula Aren. Kopi Selamat Pagi- Kopi w/ coconut sugar and organic coconut: Of course I had to try their supposedly 'best-selling' coffee on the menu. This is by far the simplest Es Kopi Susu here. But no, it just.. it didn't work. The way they choose their beans is meh. Tastewise it's either/or not in a complete package, which means I was able to taste the coffee but not the sweetness of the coffee. It just didn't work. Kopi Sore-Sore - Kopi Teh Susu: This is the 'acceptable' coffee here, I personally think so because probably the tea makes everything a little bit better. If I had to go back, I would only get this. Kopi Susu - Kopi with Fresh Milk: It was super hot that day, felt sleepy and needed coffee. Decided to get their bitter coffee - no sugar added, no syrup added, no extra anything else, just.coffee. First impression, it's coffee is actually strong - but have you had a strong coffee but not the good kind of strong? That's the best way to describe it. Its bitterness is just a tad weird, and reminds me of some chain coffee lattes that made me want to forget I ever tried it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1597711348113-8AZCQ9KHGJW1VVNJ7PDF/IMG_3725.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Kumolo Creative Space - BSD | Jakarta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1597713289629-2PM2AGBJD1XGINVIP2EM/IMG_3650.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Kumolo Creative Space - BSD | Jakarta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1597712017415-ZQUBHJ4HUDVMSPZYKR95/IMG_7061.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Kumolo Creative Space - BSD | Jakarta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1597711118770-6Y31CHIE6SIVTS68HB5F/8E61CA73-FF3D-4C0F-A8E0-53D13FF4063A.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Kumolo Creative Space - BSD | Jakarta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1597711546279-YNXGQA4BCWUSDA6M84ZJ/3818898E-7E97-40E5-8E5E-036DC8AA5157.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Kumolo Creative Space - BSD | Jakarta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1597711699173-3ZMEEX5XWUERA7F6OL11/IMG_4171.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Kumolo Creative Space - BSD | Jakarta Rose Green Tea: Whoa.

I’ve had a quite high expectation after getting their ice cream. Turns out, this is pretty much disappointing.

Don’t mind me, but I think I’m not a fan of Arabian food. The barley is honestly pretty okay, it’s just there was a lot of seeds. The lamb is acceptable but not the potato. I find the potato harra tastes a bit funny and definitely not a fan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1572169636828-BV86TC5UKU40M3QRR2R5/Adjustments.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Le Petit Chef Grand Hyatt Jakarta India: Butter chicken, jeera rice, paratha https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1572169671854-YME6KXR42RM02GTBMQ9X/IMG_0273.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Le Petit Chef Grand Hyatt Jakarta By this third course, I got pretty full. I know right?! Hard to believe but that’s the sad truth. This one right here is actually the best out of all.

I think we all know the best chinese food are the traditional ones and I didn’t expect much from this. However though, I am quite disappointed with the Siu Mai. It’s just their flour is so thick that I can barely eat it. Gindara tho - it was quite refreshing, which is good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1572169792076-P95WM2Y6UCKAL8GD24Q7/IMG_0287.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Le Petit Chef Grand Hyatt Jakarta Dessert: Saffron spiced rice pudding creme brulee. Nothing will ever go wrong with Creme Brulee just like when you eat Tiramisu isn’t it? Well, that’s the problem, this creme brulee got it all wrong.

Cold Moo: You know what this is. It’s the most hype but really good Ice Cream that (was) located in Dharmawangsa. Because they are relocating and under renovation atm, this was the main reason why I visited Brightspot Market just because I was craving for’em. All time fav in their menu? Definitely their Banana Bread Pudding & Cookies and Cream Ice Cream! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570244279280-40E5BS7AW9C434JVIM1L/public.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival. 2. Yum Cha Hauz: This is basically a Chinese Dim Sum specialty that sells Hainam rice too.It Tried their Hainam Siobak, which is sambal matah with crispy bacon and also tried their Hainam Pork Chasiu with Crispy Bacon. I gotta say, their packaging is impressive. It seems like a simple box but when you actually open it it spread into a kind-of paper plate. The dishes were just ok but the rice was pretty bad tbh. Texture wise it’s too weird and it’s just didn’t work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570271256848-7GIIHTW06EGQLZE3TQW3/image-asset.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival. 3. Honey Lane: Hmm, this is interesting. Basically, they sell soft serve yogurt and also some fresh iced tea – lemonade – etc. Their Yogurt is somehow salty but I kinda like it tho. The honey itself is fresh, which reminds me of Honeymee. For me, these two don’t really work well together, tastes kinda funny. Wish they sell some real soft serve vanilla ice cream cause that would be perfecto. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570242748705-8OZU3VXDX9ONVUQKEBIO/public.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570242702916-NE5MIQ24Z8WSW8R598ES/public.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570241265147-ILS62QZ2PY77AMJFB8EY/public.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival. Mangkokku: Literally 'Merakyat’ but with more expensive price. I tried their beef brisket and it’s pretty good. The way they serve their rice is just perfect too, this would be a great comfort food if you’re trying to find places that sell beef bowl other than Yoshinoya. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570242441962-DQKYXMO0HO8J682HL7TP/public.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival.

Not the right place to get your caffeine fix here, the milk is just too much, coffee temperature is just not hot enough. It’s just didn’t work, we can’t ever get along. (there’s Tanamera next door so better for you to go there). - Tapas Platter ( Selection of the day by chef’s creation with pita bread ): At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect - tbh I would get the usual Spanish platter with your kind of tortillas but I guessed wrong. I doubt it would taste good but after one bite, it’s actually good! My most fav from here? Their mushrooms, hands down. - Banana Bread: If you must know, I can never resist a Banana Bread even tho I’m on a carbs diet. Long story short I was pretty surprise with the kind of Banana Bread that I got and expected it would be overly sweet because of the cream as their topping. Surprisingly, it works and it’s actually good! I am a sweet tooth but not really just because my preference of sweetness is kinda below expectation.

The only downside is the rice, not as good as I expected. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1566226825816-8AADAFW70QIPO37M1XGG/public.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Poke Sushi - Dharmawangsa Crunchy Spicy Tuna - Spicy Tuna & Tempura Crunch: This would be perfect if you need something fried but not really oily. The crunch makes everything so so perfect. The tuna tho? not so much. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1566227052352-F549ARXHDZYX13IF1S0Q/public.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Poke Sushi - Dharmawangsa Special Chef’s Choice of Salad : Basically this is just Salmon and Mayo. Well, need I say more? Salmon + Mayo = WHERES THE SEARED? But it’s included in the Chirashi menu, so why not? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1566226894659-Q76OUROZXN9CGUX4OAIF/public.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Poke Sushi - Dharmawangsa Toro Sushi - I expected to melt during my first bite but it didn’t. Not giving me the sense of “OMG” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1566226779733-MADUEF9UMA5LUA91VP3N/public.jpeg Jakarta, Indonesia - Poke Sushi - Dharmawangsa Spicy Twin Shitake - Baked Shitake with Spicy Salmon & Spicy Tuna inside: This reminds me of Hana Roll right away. The mayo is pretty good but when you decided to use mushroom as the base, it’s pretty weird. One is enough for you to enjoy, not my first choice tho. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/jakarta/2019/6/10/the-garden-jakarta-pik-amp-pim-8da5k monthly 0.5 2019-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560154742423-2FBR14E9MTAJ7K2EXM3U/IMG_2243.JPG Jakarta, Indonesia - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Bad’ass Fried Rice: My go-to order when I’m at The Garden. It’s indeed badass-ly spicy but the taste is just so perfect. If you like Nasi Goreng Gila , then this is the fancy version of it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560154786602-99HL4HRWRA731SES2NGC/IMG_2252.JPG Jakarta, Indonesia - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Salmon & Tuna Pizza: It’s similar to Akira Back but I still prefer Akira Back’s. I’m not saying it’s not good, it’s actually taste great too, but it’s just lack of truffle and size is actually smaller. Well, it’s affordable & this is actually the right size for it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560154963653-UZSL8QKH29JYFMW8V8T7/IMG_2255.JPG Jakarta, Indonesia - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Wonton Bulgogi Taco: If you’re looking for something simple as a starter, you can consider this, it’s not my most fav dish to be honest but it’s pretty unique. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560155089295-MEMMROC0OHP0W78V450H/IMG_2257.JPG Jakarta, Indonesia - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] The Wonder Duck Crispy Kecombrang: Great fried duck just like Gioi’s. Calling out spicy lovers tho, look at those three different chili! Despite the price, duck is still good but I feel that Gioi’s is more tasty and crispy. However, give this a try if you haven’t been to Gioi cause it’s definitely worth it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560155037342-CURZRSN6EINOSRRLEUSE/IMG_2256.JPG Jakarta, Indonesia - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Pork Salad: I can’t really remember the exact name cause this was a year ago. But dang, the thai sauce & crispy pork is just da bomb. Crispy, flavorful & tasty - what else do you need? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560154657267-7O2DFSHUAG76D42ET13Q/IMG_2240.JPG Jakarta, Indonesia - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Crispy Chicken Skin with Smoked Honey: I mean, this never goes wrong right? plus they use a extremely delish smoked honey sauce, imagine the goodness please. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560156248456-61OL4C6Z3FU8NXDMARG5/20190508_202447.jpg Jakarta, Indonesia - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Wagyu Sate Padang: Not a fan of Sate Padang but… I CAN’T RESIST THIS ONE. it’s chewy, it’s tender and it’s something you’re gonna be proud of eating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560156374585-FY4W35XVHRD4ZN76H349/20190508_202638.jpg Jakarta, Indonesia - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Crab Curry: Can’t find their menu online yet and thanks to my short-term-memory-lost (hi Dori), this reminds me of Somboon Thailand. The curry sauce is making you glad you’ve ordered the right dish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560177083818-5TGA9PO7NF9DW2O0GY9J/20190508_203444.jpg Jakarta, Indonesia - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Squid Ink Rice: Ahh hello Kilo, similar to them but slightly different. I am a fan of their squid, seriously. It’s crispiness is really what dreams are made of. Can’t choose which one’s better cause can never go wrong with both - I’m talking about the one in Bali, not the Jakarta one (pls don’t go there). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560156430519-XSUKOYSGIOCNYBHZ9EDG/20190508_202704.jpg Jakarta, Indonesia - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Pork Belly Bao: Again, don’t ask me the detailed name for this dish, I just know the bun is too good to be true. Sharing? Nope, it’s all mine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560156463114-ZACQGWBK2K3NLL63K6XR/20190508_202715.jpg Jakarta, Indonesia - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Ayam Geprek: They’ve changed the way they cook their chicken recently. This was the first time I tried it and it wasn’t the best. I tried it again about a week ago and it looks simply like KFC, which taste waaaay better than this one. Sadly, I finished it first before remembering I haven’t taken a single picture of the modified Ayam Geprek. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560178924429-SM3YQQ6RS7JZ7N067BQ8/20190508_210608.jpg Jakarta, Indonesia - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Honey Boba Toast: Sorry, this just didn’t work for me. The sauce it’s too sweet, the bread is just too thick - still prefer En Dining’s. Their boba is actually sweet enough to make it right, I know they’ve tried their best - but maybe it’s just not the best combination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560156714700-J2WMT8UJTKEB1TSY181R/20190508_205618.jpg Jakarta, Indonesia - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] She’s a Slice of Heaven - Durian Sauce: If you’ve known me personally, you gotta know I’m not a fan of DURIAN. In fact, I am a durian hater. uh-huh, I am - sorry not sorry. Kinda challenged myself to try this out and dang, this is good than I expected it. It literally taken me by surprise.

Starbucks Reserve Roastery: The biggest, The best place for you to hang out with your friends early, (I mean 7 am - 8 am early) in the morning before you go to work! This is the infamous Biggest Roastery that opens recently (December'17) and damn, this place can be packed in the afternoon. Make sure you're prepared for the 3x regular Starbucks Price cause this place serves everything from Tea, their own Cocktail-Coffee, and special drinks that's only available at this place (Regular coffee are 3x more expensive too). Be sure to score this particular croissant cause well, it's the best thing I've ever eaten in terms of, duh, croissant. It's always sold-out in the afternoon though, so the earlier you get-up, the better chance you'll score this so-called-croissant (can't remember the name). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1524232488246-III60LOR0AYC3KGTFC96/FullSizeRender.jpg China - The Shanghai Dessert | Coffee List.

La Moda: This small Dessert/Coffee place is highly recommended, especially if you're into flowers! The place is pretty small but it's surrounded by flowers (well, it's a kind of florist-cafe style). But they serve cute desserts that taste delishh too! Coffee was not bad, but if you like Champagne, I think it's better for you to order that (but I didn't get the chance to try it tho..).

Top Paddock: I don't know how to begin, honestly. The Hash brown, The Top Paddock & The Blueberry & Ricotta Hotcakes. Damn, the brunch spot in Melbourne is C-R-A-Z-Y. LOVE their hotcakes! It's soft, fluffy and not too sweet which is good for a hotcake cause my dad even loves it too! Hash brown was good too! The Top Paddock wouldn't be my first choice, but if you want something different you should try! For coffee, sadly they disappoint. Get your coffee somewhere else from my list! Still deserves a 8/10 for their DAMN GOOD HOTCAKES tho! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531754605086-E74N7MMKBTVV6PO5CYUI/IMAGE.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. Hakata Gensuke Ramen: 7/10 good ramen *droll* and perfect gyoza!! For the Ramen, I recommend their Signature Tonkotsu for simple yet delish dish! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE, but the suckie part is that the place is so small and it's kind-of order fast type of place. Beware of the line at night, you've been warned! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531754110149-0T3WL96P33HKVKAJ6W1F/IMG_9106.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. Menya Ramen: IF ITS JUST THE TWO OF YOU, ORDER ONE. ONE ORDER IS ENOUGH! why? cause it's HUGE! damn, I guess this is why this place is famous among college kids, cheap & portion is super big. I would say for me, it's just ok. But their Gyu tan (Beef Tongue) is good, you gotta ask for spicy though cause is much much much better than the non-spicy one. Visit this place & get their Gyutan don if you're bored of western-brunch food. It deserves a 6/10 for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531754184596-4JTYHLF7NOAS1GAKH2ML/IMAGE.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. Hardware Societe: Those freaking eggs though. They just step up their game game game! You know why? well, this place is just the BOMB! I.LOVE.THEIR. BAKED EGGS DEUX, well well well, watch out brunch people! it's life-changing. you can taste every single thing that's inside this perfect dish! damn damn damn! I would LOVE TO GO BACK JUST TO GET THIS AGAIN! On the other side, this place is famous for their Lobster Benedict. Well, for me it's just OK, it's not as special as this BAKED EGGS! Coffee is good too, get their Latte! Dear, dear, you deserve a 7.5/10. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531757329539-Q186A7RCJI813QHO5G5G/IMG_9376.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531757335327-HN30Z8XPFZDQRS9ORQEU/IMG_9378.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531755393890-Y3LPPDW5C6M5JKQIA6FZ/IMG_9328.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531755396770-2DZHH1ILHAUMM8JRJMS2/IMG_9329.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531756317553-MWRI1K9LNEDAR5E40X6R/IMG_8839.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531756313870-IVDECM37YK0FX3KSV0MH/IMG_8840.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531755743239-NTIJD0TIEUL3CA615KXE/IMG_8949.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531755659291-M3MBWSPVUFKG0GNXVYHG/IMG_9411.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531755659682-QVSFNRGNV6ZLWXVPEVC7/IMG_9412.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531755704731-LVELKLE9ETGC6PXZCTCA/IMG_9413.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531755771095-NMIRWQNYAER7JO4ERT9D/IMG_8944.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531755708442-4YGSUX3C0DSGO1ZX2GEY/IMG_9414.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531755991073-B1TG6WO1UQGY5ERNPJ56/IMG_8278.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531755987776-YMOQ4Z650E9WNFL0GKVG/IMG_8279.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531756051316-300YSCO0QXHQ7LBXLTBC/IMG_8281.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531756053400-2N4US685A37XZH3BZHYJ/IMG_8282.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531756539922-JQQG0SZ740OUO3QOM6FC/IMG_8856.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531756540884-NUE2555ONMRVHJ0CS80K/IMG_8859.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531756859405-R5B0TWI5FS7477ZGU47Z/IMG_0608.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531756868402-JR0RCCBW9NY6D7GJKJ8I/IMG_0612.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531756923923-R49FCBXSD1QOXC54RODR/IMG_0614.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531756927651-Y7A0EU64N2AWYJNDAYRJ/IMG_0616.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531756958150-HDRE03CMWPWG0JHG02L4/IMG_0626.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531754034950-1HD3ON6ROJLZ6WTJJQLP/IMAGE.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. Clement Coffee Roastery: UGHHHHH I LOVEEEEEEE CLEMENT! surprisingly, both of their Latte and Flat White are so nice! I went to this place on the last day and kinda regret it just because it's so good, cronuts were sold out and I didn't get the chance to explore the South Melbourne Market. Deserves a 7.5/10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531754152737-FXR6OGIHW26GCEWPFHFA/FullSizeRender.jpg Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. ACoffee: wow. what ALATTE. I got it's unique taste. YES, NOT LIKE THE ORDINARY LATTE. it's kind of bitter choclatey flavor. Space? Damn, LOVEEEEEE THEIR WHITE-BASIC Space! Gotta go there for lazy or "I-NEED-TO-WORK" Kind of situation. 7/10! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531754366106-GG4Y5XS1AYQNVKY60C16/IMG_8962.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. Lune Croissants & Coffee: DAMN. best. croissants ever. Best bakery I have ever visited in My Entire Life (for croissants though). GET IN LINE BY 8 AM, GET THEIR CROISSANTS: like all of their croissants. 9/10 for croissants!!!!!! Disclaimer: Don't get their coffee. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531754209322-WGE0NIL4MAV8KD3YKOX3/IMAGE.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. Doughboys Donuts: Huge portion, sweet donut. It's like magic. Working on it, and before you know it, you finished the whole thing!

Patricia: Patricia. I gotta say this twice because the line is just C-R-A-A-A-Z-Y. It's always crowded every single day.. And well many people recommend me this place. First of all, cute space. Small but cute. It's giving me the sense of The Perfect Office Coffee Shop. Newspapers are provided, Huge Window overlooking the streets, Magazines that will interest many youngsters or even adults. Somehow, this place is just not my favorite. Coffee is just super bitter for me. But I mean, this place is recommended by a lot of people, mind as well giving you the chance to try this place and let me know how it goes! For me, it deserves a 5/10, sorry Patricia. you're just not my coffee soulmate.. fornow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531754305630-M9BURMLFT981ZE0K7TFJ/IMG_8568.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List.

Market Lane - Queen Victoria Market: Many people tell me that this is the best coffee in Melbourne. I'm not saying I disagree with them, but it's just not the best. I can say that Market Lane serves good, hell, great coffee! Not-ordinary aftertaste that you're actually, weirdly, craving for more. I'll be honest, 7.5/10 :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531754343240-MVGAZAGT7S5HTJP9LRG2/IMG_9122.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. Brother Baba Budan: Not bad. Not bad at all. The only mistake I did was maybe, I ordered Flat White. I mean hell, it was 9 am in the morning and I didn't want to drink too-strong-coffee, so I just ordered the Flat White. It's too milky-ish for me so it wasn't my favorite. But I am willing to give this place a second chance the next time I visit Melbourne, and I WILL SURELY ORDER THE RIGHT COFFEE. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531754514217-W39CTMNGLXQX29DKAFEP/IMG_0597.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List.

Pidapipo: Gelato Gelato that's good for night supper ;) Love their homemade Gelatos . Most of the flavors that they have are good! 8/10 for gelato! Time to get back to this place again, soon!

Sensory Lab: Need a doctor? Need to do an experiment? Well Sensory Lab has the answer. Located inside David Jones, this place is not hard to spot. Coffee was just ok, place is goals. Latte was better than their Piccolo! 6.5/10. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531754744621-OZTRXXX4O0J3GV2JU7EX/IMG_8801.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. Padre Coffee - Queen Victoria Market: good coffee keeps the doctor away. One of my fav coffee shops in Melbourne is Padre. Latte was just, amazing. I got lost 3-4 miles away at first (seriously Google Maps, sometimes you suck), but finally found this NOT-HIDDEN-GEM. It's located somewhere in the Queen Victoria Market and it deserves a 7/10! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531757053579-QYYNA7RXM2HEG14E3A83/IMG_1791.jpg Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531757177711-G1NGU5F86X714N8NY7RK/IMG_E8284.JPG Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1531757559818-LR53XRT7YRBPSNS4MAUT/IMG_1792.jpg Australia - Melbourne Restaurant | Coffee List.

Had a pretty low expectation for this one but then turns out it’s pretty good! Satisfying for the mouth as one of the starters before we enjoy some meat partaay! Definitely, you should try this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1623822330608-59OPG8SRA6H1ELCY4R6H/IMG_1699_jpg.jpeg The rest of Indonesia - Si Jin - Bali Wagyu Katsu Sando - Sriracha Aioli, Pickle, F1 Wagyu Striploin 7+: Honestly? I was kinda skeptical whether to order this pretty good-looking baes cause oftentimes, I get disappointed with this type of sando. But hey - SHUT THE FRONT DOOOOOOOR. CraaaZzZzZy gOOD! The wagyu? oh man, it melts, like… literally melts with just one small bite, and the breaad? ohhhhh dont. dont you dare not ordering this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1623822516730-9NMP355MPFWJTHVYEQS9/IMG_1647_jpg.jpeg The rest of Indonesia - Si Jin - Bali The 8 different selection of homemade salt and pepper (no need to order this one as it’s given this way before you get your beef): So this type of salts are one of the special ones in Si Jin, they have these unique salt & pepper from Himalayan Salt, Matcha Salt until Kimchi Salt (My fav!). So first, they’ll serve it little by little and if you’d like to add more salt, you can just get it on your table cause it’s already been prepared. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1623822281127-1JQEA4Z97GLR0YQ5MDJT/IMG_1639.jpeg The rest of Indonesia - Si Jin - Bali 30 Misuji 9+ Dry-Aged Cuts - Grand Champion, Purebred Wagyu, Wylarah, AU: OHHHH THAT JUICINESS, mm hmm say no more. by far, they surprise me.

The variety types of butter includes Jalapeno Cilantro Butter, Yuzu Citrus Zest, Black Garlic Umami Taste , Burned Kimchi, Mongoverde Butter (herbs butter), and Honey Coffee Cinnamon Blend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1623821620681-Q1WA349S4BD5EPDCSWU7/IMG_1673.jpeg The rest of Indonesia - Si Jin - Bali Baseball Cut Dry- Aged Cuts (Front) - Grand Champion, Purebred Wagyu, Wylarah: Wow, pretty nice?! High-quality meat that’s perfectly cooked!

Not a big fan of this dish tho. The only thing I like about this is the sauce, which gives the taste of sweet and sour taste and I LURV that type of sauce! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1534178813795-D1YO9RNZFO54WHQBCZ1E/IMAGE.JPG The rest of Indonesia - Stupa Restaurant by Plataran Borobudur - Jogjakarta Can't exactly remember their exact name. Not really recommend this dish if you want to share with a lot of people cause even though the portion is big, the taste itself is too light so it becomes tasteless when you eat it with the rest of the dish. But still, this is good if you just want to eat JUST ONE TYPE OF DISH. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1534179141232-K6F4M2CIURKUOMLL2FVN/IMAGE.JPG The rest of Indonesia - Stupa Restaurant by Plataran Borobudur - Jogjakarta JUST SHOW THIS PICTURE.

Popolo Cafe - Sentul City: Located outside of Bogor (30 mins drive to be exact), this coffee shop is located near a Golf Club. The place was kind of unexpected cause it looks way different in Instagram but still makes me feel like I'm enjoying my cup of coffee in the middle of a 'forest' just because I was surrounded by trees. Coffee was decent, not the best one and it was just meh. However, if you want to get an okay coffee, you can go to this place. Still deserves a 5/10. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1516894674659-JMBLAX4WBWSYEFWGYU28/FullSizeRender.jpg The rest of Indonesia - A Few Hours Outside of Jakarta. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/style-1 daily 0.75 2019-09-17 https://wanderlust-valentine.com/style-1/2019/9/16/the-right-blazer-n7x7d monthly 0.5 2019-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1568736549296-6SA88L6L1729EB44QIYP/public.jpeg Style - The Right Blazer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1568736454510-R6TV6BK4SXE4SF207BKE/public.jpeg Style - The Right Blazer https://wanderlust-valentine.com/style-1/2019/8/21/6wp62w8wt4ozyhvb4v7zavh3cue1kk-fjrg5 monthly 0.5 2019-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1566387224493-NRFGWCQ2CFEP80Z1I2E2/public.jpeg Style - Casually (almost) Monochromatic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1566387542028-IL6BQ2A7PY51IRN2QNFA/public.jpeg Style - Casually (almost) Monochromatic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1566387571521-RPCM39HTI3FM0O8OOZQ2/public.jpeg Style - Casually (almost) Monochromatic https://wanderlust-valentine.com/style-1/2019/8/17/how-i-wear-my-kaws-x-uniqlo-tees-rjhgh monthly 0.5 2021-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1566059361730-3WEIJN5XJ3YHF54L14ZW/public.jpeg Style - How I wear my Kaws x Uniqlo Tees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1566059317143-GXG5IGMLUOU9IB8XWUGY/public.jpeg Style - How I wear my Kaws x Uniqlo Tees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1566059260084-EM7FSLKJWYVOIUFSPP0J/public.jpeg Style - How I wear my Kaws x Uniqlo Tees. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/style-1/2019/8/5/classic-red-dress-znb66 monthly 0.5 2019-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1565024134453-2PF8C1TXM41NWR3OGPZH/public.jpeg Style - Classic, Red Dress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1565024168922-IG4NLUD101ZWIRXDMNSS/public.jpeg Style - Classic, Red Dress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1565024206072-ISOOLICNVUCB0A003FAZ/public.jpeg Style - Classic, Red Dress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1565024259092-D0YV47SG1MPFL6RQDOFH/public.jpeg Style - Classic, Red Dress. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/style-1/2019/7/4/4th-of-july-lkft5 monthly 0.5 2019-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312198626-U37F12PLFFB0WKVI2DI1/public.jpeg Style - 4th of July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312630939-P81N1HUS47BF1JPTYAUE/public.jpeg Style - 4th of July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312538538-B0366979SOA4DCRL6ISX/public.jpeg Style - 4th of July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312494125-T7OFS3TRT53OT0SNX2NC/public.jpeg Style - 4th of July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312581990-75DZB4A4EX8PWL7DUS6O/public.jpeg Style - 4th of July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312690569-9E3B0J0A2IRZ2FVPSNGC/public.jpeg Style - 4th of July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312772110-0SZ0TXS2O2BRTW1BQ2RS/public.jpeg Style - 4th of July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312824756-K1HSAE61KX7JU4DTZ6RH/public.jpeg Style - 4th of July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312928803-HJXDXHD618KVM526XI42/public.jpeg Style - 4th of July. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/style-1/2019/3/14/blending-in-with-nature-4mmy3 monthly 0.5 2019-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1552578463716-47JZRA6ZZOVIYIZSA0DM/FullSizeRender.jpg Style - Blending in with Nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1552578523325-DR6PQ77UCGV1AY66D9MO/FullSizeRender.jpg Style - Blending in with Nature. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/style-1/2019/5/10/bali-boat-shed-dysbh monthly 0.5 2019-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1557497255667-6OXVD77YOJATHVGHMSAP/IMG_1119.JPG Style - Bali Boat Shed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1557497102529-MJ8UAXMRAV7K8UOQHMXJ/IMG_1166.JPG Style - Bali Boat Shed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1557499978280-102PM7CGX33SNOMDHXM2/IMG_2848.JPG Style - Bali Boat Shed Taken at Moja Museum when it was open in Pondok Indah.

Pretty good! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1623821671941-GQKKRFBTQQNGSHE2F3VO/IMG_1661_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Si Jin - Bali Dancing Eggplant - Den Miso, Mozzarella, Goma: I remember when my dad was kind of unsure trying out this dish - it seems pretty unpromising, but one bite is what took our breath away, this simplistic eggplant blows our tastebud, wow. amazing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1623821695024-WWN9PPGTY1ARJ5B9BSLU/IMG_1625_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Si Jin - Bali Uni “YUKHOE” 2.0 - Wagyu Tartare, Nori, Caviar: ok, okay. Had a pretty low expectation for this one but then turns out it’s pretty good! Satisfying for the mouth as one of the starters before we enjoy some meat partaay! Definitely, you should try this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1623822330608-59OPG8SRA6H1ELCY4R6H/IMG_1699_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Si Jin - Bali Wagyu Katsu Sando - Sriracha Aioli, Pickle, F1 Wagyu Striploin 7+: Honestly? I was kinda skeptical whether to order this pretty good-looking baes cause oftentimes, I get disappointed with this type of sando. But hey - SHUT THE FRONT DOOOOOOOR. CraaaZzZzZy gOOD! The wagyu? oh man, it melts, like… literally melts with just one small bite, and the breaad? ohhhhh dont. dont you dare not ordering this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1623822516730-9NMP355MPFWJTHVYEQS9/IMG_1647_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Si Jin - Bali The 8 different selection of homemade salt and pepper (no need to order this one as it’s given this way before you get your beef): So this type of salts are one of the special ones in Si Jin, they have these unique salt & pepper from Himalayan Salt, Matcha Salt until Kimchi Salt (My fav!). So first, they’ll serve it little by little and if you’d like to add more salt, you can just get it on your table cause it’s already been prepared. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1623822281127-1JQEA4Z97GLR0YQ5MDJT/IMG_1639.jpeg Valentine's - Si Jin - Bali 30 Misuji 9+ Dry-Aged Cuts - Grand Champion, Purebred Wagyu, Wylarah, AU: OHHHH THAT JUICINESS, mm hmm say no more. by far, they surprise me.

The variety types of butter includes Jalapeno Cilantro Butter, Yuzu Citrus Zest, Black Garlic Umami Taste , Burned Kimchi, Mongoverde Butter (herbs butter), and Honey Coffee Cinnamon Blend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1623821620681-Q1WA349S4BD5EPDCSWU7/IMG_1673.jpeg Valentine's - Si Jin - Bali Baseball Cut Dry- Aged Cuts (Front) - Grand Champion, Purebred Wagyu, Wylarah: Wow, pretty nice?! High-quality meat that’s perfectly cooked! However, I think the baseball cut still beats it all. 200 Days Grain Fed Filet Mignon - Reserve Cuts (Back) - Stockyard’s Finest Hand Selected Angus Jondaryan, Queensland: Wow, pretty nice?! High-quality meat that’s perfectly cooked! However, I think the baseball cut still beats it all. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2021/5/25/pierre-jakarta monthly 0.5 2021-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1621950834229-P6M884TR14HVTKMBR4YL/IMG_2408_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Pierre - Jakarta Charcuterie Platter: (you can choose 2 different rillette) - Duck & Salmon Rillette, Chicken Liver Pate, Serano Ham, Duck Saucisson, Cornichons, Lentils, Baguette: A true champion, I can say. The baguette, oof, it’s surreal. I’m not really a big fan of charcuterie(s) to be honest but this one is definitely different. The chicken liver pate is great, Ham is just okay, Duck saucisson is good and omg lentils? dang, it’s definitely a great ending. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1621951316942-68UJ19Y85EHB49BTOMDL/IMG_2438.jpeg Valentine's - Pierre - Jakarta Le Confit: Crispy Duck Leg Confit, Chestnut Puree, Pumpkin - okay this is surprisingly interesting. The duck’s skin cracks perfectly under a fork. Say no more, this is a good one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1621950872318-MCSMDALT8IMTKRLN6146/IMG_2430_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Pierre - Jakarta Poitrine De Cochon Confit: Crispy Pork Belly, Stew of Green Lentils du ‘Puy’ , Root Vegetables Matignon - okay, I think this is one of the leanest Pork Belly I’ve ever eaten.. if I remember it correctly. Lucky for us - it was perfectly cooked. The green lentils make it simple and didn’t even gave us the feeling of guilt when we ate this a little too much! Skin? oof! say no more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1621951371543-WMABBQFK8PIZ2PSU4EK2/IMG_2463.jpeg Valentine's - Pierre - Jakarta L’Entrecote Au Poivre: Black Angus Rib-Eye, White Peppercorn Crust, Brandy Cream Sauce - okaaay, let me tell you about this steak. It’s definitely juicy and good, but turns out it’s not my most favorite dishes here. But definitely, you gotta order this one if you’d like something filling! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1621951414980-0D5N7XZ2GSYSMPLSVOPW/IMG_2462_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Pierre - Jakarta Cassoulet: Streaky Pork Bacon, Pork Sausage, Lamb Shoulder, Duck Leg, Baked in a White Bean Stew. - ladies and gents, we have a winner DING DING DING! Perfect combination of all that is extremely flavourful I almost wanted to not share this sneaky info with you psst. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1621951474465-RYVDKD16NM4ZLOOAAZXB/IMG_2508_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Pierre - Jakarta Baba Au Rhum: Rhum-Infused ‘Baba’ Cake, Pineapple Salad, Chantilly Cream - First time I got extremely disappointed by Pierre. No, just plain no. Not trying to be harsh but.. in a way the rhum itself is strongly weird with the bread being almost showered fully that gives a pretty bad texture, and the cream, one bite is all it takes to make myself stop consuming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1621951538690-V3JVGKRY4M18PWOJD7E3/IMG_2503_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Pierre - Jakarta Creme Brulee: Fresh Tahitian Vanilla Beans Infused Classic Creme Brulee - alright, alright. it’s not as bad as the baba au rhum but seems that the creme brulee is a bit too sweet for me, not my favourite creme brulee sorry to say. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1621951598662-739XK9LAN6TY9QVHSRSN/IMG_2501_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Pierre - Jakarta Burnt Cheesecake: Berry Compote & Fresh Raspberries - the only dessert that I honestly think is pretty good, but since this is a part of Union group, I would still say Union’s New York Cheesecake beats it all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1621951648517-ZQSEO2G1T20P6B64GPTK/IMG_2449_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Pierre - Jakarta Anne & Paul Syrah by glass - Looking at their choices of wine by glass didn’t really excites me and this one proofs it all. The taste is pretty much on the lighter side and a bit dry-ish. The taste is just.. well.. red wine, that’s all. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2021/4/5/are-words-just-plain-words monthly 0.5 2021-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1617846908237-Y2B6NUD0RYDXZ0FPDQ5B/IMG_9880.jpeg Valentine's - Are Words just plain 'Words?' https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2021/3/28/wrlwskmfjgy689v6nzhqh5uftm4h54 monthly 0.5 2021-04-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616943399150-AV598D5CV9B7HTV8BLKQ/IMG_3616.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942465690-IRN8J9KX0A0FEWMDMK64/IMG_3544.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942424252-EQZOPLPQOP9K5KJA6R63/IMG_3542_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942503556-ADMENT1WTA60JT3GPNY8/IMG_3536_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Bites #1 - Crispy Leaves: Sounds weird? you’re not the only one. I had my doubts trying out these leaves but damn. honestly? one bite was all it take to make it unstoppable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942539170-DP7200HG42MZT3QX0V1P/IMG_3548_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Bites #2 - Black rice blini, smoked egg emulsion, crispy black rice: one word - SEND HELP! These bites number 2 is the bomb! The smoked egg emulsion is smoky enough that tastes so so good when you eat it altogether. Swear, if I can order extra - I would (and salivating while typing rn). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942619194-M6S3Q2XGNEXREMBCTFME/IMG_3560_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Bites #3 - Deep fried smoked shallot, cashew sour cream, fermented shallot powder - this bites doesn’t make the cut. It’s just okay, nothing too special. The cashew sour cream is just a bit bland after I had bite number two. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942647030-04ZR9XPW7GK3CM2NNC0A/IMG_3566_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Bites #4 - Pickled mangkok leaf, smoked tofu, aromatic cuko dressing: interesting, interesting. I didn’t have a high expectation for this one. But once again, I’m wrong - yup. the smoked tofu makes it perfect and it almost tastes like tuna somehow. Loving every flavor of these bites! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1617328633612-LAPESDQ2JAYLR2XGE1WT/IMG_6135.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Bites #5 - Hot & Cold Tomato Soup: So… I think they use tomato sorbet for this one to make the ‘cold’ part? It’s a tad weird for me cause it tastes a bit too sweet. Texture wise not really a fan cause it kinda breaks when I eat it together - but good to wash the taste away before getting those main course. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942698341-R6TN7ZJD421OZA8XTV3U/IMG_3576.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Main Course #1: - Scallop ceviche, citrus, smoked peanut milk, pickled fresh peanuts, burned lime oil : Refreshing - that’s the perfect combination of this Bites number 6. I like it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942745792-RNDUIY3VRFV0LY1DQ5NQ/IMG_3582.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) CRAFT DRINKS #1 - Bone Kombucha & Vodka infused orange: too sweet, can’t drink this as the opening of the cocktail pairing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942852022-VOTI8ESFCIP3EW9UDY7E/IMG_3586.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Main Course #2 - Raw Lamb, Kari Kambing Shio Koji, Wild Leaves, Warm Lamb Fat Vinaigrette, Crispy Aromatics: Interesting, a raw lamb. I think as far I can remember, I never tried a raw lamb before. Usually lamb have the tendency to have that kind of unpleasing smell; however, surprisingly this one does not. The wild leaves - oh, they’re just great. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1617329211873-7UQ7A6CB02SCYL0XDXH7/IMG_3592.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) CRAFT DRINKS #2 - Spiced rum, white rum with some syrup that I embarrassingly forgot the name: kinda reminds me some original cocktails that I kinda like. The combination of the ingredients are unique enough but it works, somehow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942992305-4NS44FXYVJS44W1PFRY9/IMG_3594_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Main Course #3 - Mud crab, egg white garum emulsion, duck egg yolk, lots of chives, pickled spring onions: I can honestly say I dislike duck egg yolk starting today. Yup, the smell of the duck egg was just too strong and I couldn’t eat it anymore. The mud crab and pickled spring onions says otherwise though - thankfully they’re able to help to take the taste of the eggyolk. oof, that was rough. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616942807973-AU35D4VZRLC4E10UWT2L/IMG_3600.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) CRAFT DRINKS #3 - Arak, daun cervio & tomato consume - one sip and I know I couldn’t take it. it’s slightly a bit too unique for me and it just didn’t work with my preference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616943313819-RH2T9NLQWM8LPS0QZX15/IMG_3626_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Main Course #4 - Fish of the day, charred oyster emulsion, smoked oyster vinaigrette, salted cucumber: easily this fish of the day is good. The crispiness of its skin is oh, perfection.

It gave me a feeling of confusion in a way - so it left me either/or thinking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1617326119546-17UVLYYLDZJEBHSK1YZU/IMG_3695_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Dessert #2 - Arrowroot brioche, french toast style, sourdough bread miso gelato, mulberries: Ohhh fancy dessert that I LIKE! This is truly a unique dessert that I can’t find it anywhere at all.. I guess. Yup, I can definitely say I approve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1617326160527-UQ1A7WQZQJE5QMO6NHT3/IMG_3709_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) CRAFT DRINKS #8 - Arak miso & caramel: in my head it screams “pretend it’s white wine” and surprisingly - this arak miso is quite like it, in an okay side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1617326203326-U9HWKNL6L3SM2BQHSXUN/IMG_3725.jpeg Valentine's - Locavore Rintik Rintik (Akar - Jakarta) Dessert #14 - HAS Chocolate (Dark, Milk & White): I honestly only like Compartes Chocolate Bar cause I’m quite picky when it comes to chocolate bars. Don’t get me wrong, these HAS Chocolate bars are okay but not on the perfect side though - sadly. The dark chocolate is not ‘dark’ enough and the milk + white are just ok. The chocolate drink though didn’t make the cut too sadly - too watery for me. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2021/3/23/0ixusezc4hb6lynfk30oped9xkbz6k monthly 0.5 2021-03-23 https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2021/3/22/6uteeo0g9kyfykvpn25a8n54k1p92j monthly 0.5 2021-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616459288175-0TQMCL0P0QKF2HANS3A6/IMG_2022.jpeg Valentine's - Charcoal by TDR- Raffles Hotel Jakarta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616459375191-TKLGRVT1UKIOCAJNYVOR/IMG_2015.jpeg Valentine's - Charcoal by TDR- Raffles Hotel Jakarta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616458888372-TFCFR0HSOW0C0NQ4AH59/IMG_2099_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - Charcoal by TDR- Raffles Hotel Jakarta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616417183672-XM1QAO1UG9WDM6S6J18K/IMG_2029.jpeg Valentine's - Charcoal by TDR- Raffles Hotel Jakarta Sourdough with Charcoal Butter [Welcome Bread]: I was surprised with how this Sourdough turn out! Its crisp it’s just so so good. But the butter though - it’s a bit too melted for me, but the sourdough is definitely good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616417216768-VFZI1LT2ZONCOP3CPC61/IMG_2044.jpeg Valentine's - Charcoal by TDR- Raffles Hotel Jakarta Stracciatella burrata filling, homemade duck ham, fennel, confit orange, red onions & fresh herbs: mm-hmm, this Stracciatella burrata works well with the rest of the ingredients! But I gotta say, you gotta eat this first before trying out the other appetizers cause they’re on the lighter side of appetizer. Once you try out others, you can’t really taste the burrata as much. It’s soft and it’s greeeaat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616417265544-KEVRBEGIYEKP61HM6J1A/IMG_2048.jpeg Valentine's - Charcoal by TDR- Raffles Hotel Jakarta Coriander Hummus, tomato & garlic confit, spring onions, fresh herbs, grill bread: ya know, I’m a big fan of hummus and this actually made the cut! It’s tasty and creamy enough - however, it’s a tad salty for me but still works, still works. The bread that I got is a type of prata bread and it’s quite ok. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616417313465-S5ZTK0I5YKYLP829Y21O/IMG_2058.jpeg Valentine's - Charcoal by TDR- Raffles Hotel Jakarta Tuna, ponzu dressing, carbon-grilled avocado: oof, so so freshly made.

My all time fav is their Kogi-Age Australian Ribeye cause the beef is just perfectly cooked and tasty. My second fav is their Tomahawk, it’s tender and juicy. Finally, their Picanha, it’s good but compared to the rest - it’s beatable. Garnishes: Mushrooms ‘a la plancha’ , confit garlic & chives, Heritage carrot ‘a la plancha,’ herbs butter & Crashed potatoes ‘a la plancha,’ shio kombu & chives, Broccolis ‘a la plancha,’ spicy ‘ai oli’: Most favorite? CRASHED POTATOES! dang this is indeed something new and suuuuper tasty. The rest are also fantastic! Sauces: Brown butter hollandaise, Original Chimichurri, Beef Truffle Jus, Butter Sampler set Brown butter miso, black garlic & chipotle: Wow. the Beef Truffle Just is out-of-this-world. It kinda gives me a sense of enjoying my meat in a different way. The Original Chimichurri is fresh and satisfying in a way, quite surprise how this works with steak! Brown butter miso is just greaaat but not salty enough to top it all out. And finally - the hollandaise is quite good too but still can’t beat the Beef Truffle Jus https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616458784150-X1JUALHLBZ1ZL5NV6H2F/IMG_2132.jpeg Valentine's - Charcoal by TDR- Raffles Hotel Jakarta Berry: Pistachio genoise, strawberry & rhubarb, raspberry jelly, crostini tuille, blueberry Chantilly: funny, this literally resets all of my taste bud - why? the sorbet though, it’s suuuuper sour in a good way of course. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1616459252709-7FU7CT6PGREM3J3SFWEO/IMG_2130.jpeg Valentine's - Charcoal by TDR- Raffles Hotel Jakarta Pear: Caramel mousse, cognac pears, hazelnut crumble, lime ginger sorbet, pear chip: wooooow!

Hold. your. thought. Honestly, I am not a huuuge fan of Laksa but this bad boys right here? oh dear - can’t stop, won’t stop. The creaminess of the laksa broth, the prawn - it literally blows ma mind. I absolutely love the thickness of the broth and how all are mixed together really really good! This deserves a 9/10! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1611764532510-0DMEOIXB7XNTUUH50S7O/IMG_5143_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - HoLai - Petak Enam Kwetiaw Gosong: Wok-Hay char kwetiaw with chicken lapchiong, shredded chicken, bean sprout and chives. okay, okay - this kwetiaw is indeed not the same as the usual kwetiaw that you find. There’s a hint of ‘burned’ taste in a good way. I feel that the chicken lapchiong is perfect to top it all because the saltiness of the kwetiaw tastes absolutely perfect when you eat it together with the chicken lapchiong. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1611764575697-7NWF65RQ6A5BFXUHIPXX/IMG_5174_jpg.jpeg Valentine's - HoLai - Petak Enam Peranakan Chicken Wing: Peranakan-inspired marinated chicken wing fried to crispy with a hint of curry leaf.

The sauce is just too water-y and a bit bland.

Tastewise.. it’s just okay just like a regular seafood fried rice, nothing special - DTF’s Fried Rice is still my favorite unfortunately. But good enough if you’d like to have a filling lunch! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1599321283547-Q1U10T0W1XBKWVD2LOPL/IMG_5600.jpeg Valentine's - Twelve Chinese Dining - Jakarta Stir Fried Pokchoy with Garlic - simple, sharp, to-the-point.

I had to wait 20 minutes alone to enjoy this sandwich. Thankfully though - it tastes quite good. The melted cheese is not too overly cheesy so you can basically finish this by yourself without giving you the ‘too much’ feeling. I can taste a bit of some sweetness in the bread though - prolly the butter that they use. It’s crispy and tasty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1598776422774-Y3KELD3LAF64FH88K6B1/IMG_1430.jpeg Valentine's - Guten Morgen - Jakarta can’t remember the toast name.. but there’s only one sweet toast dish on the menu. It’s actually just ok, as always - the bread itself give me a good impression cause it’s crispy and soft. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1598776398448-TF417AZBFLTS6EWFSNT8/IMG_1429.jpeg Valentine's - Guten Morgen - Jakarta Guten Morgen Breakfast - with tomato salad and toasted bread: Whenever I visit new coffee shops, I will always order their Simple Breakfast dish and it’s always going to be the most important first impression before I indulge in other dishes. This one right here passed my approval rate. The sausage it’s good, bacon is fried correctly, toast? simple but quite give me some good impression. The only downside? isn’t it obvious? - only one slice of bacon (on top of the loooooong wait). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1598776485791-JV62LH478ZT9EJH3A41J/IMG_1314.jpeg Valentine's - Guten Morgen - Jakarta Latte: ok - wow. this latte is quite good. The coffee itself is light but not too light. It kinda give me a mixed of latte & cappuccino vibe. There’s a bit of sweet aftertaste and that my friend, it’s indeed - unique. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1598776517568-WBDW511B9IL2CITNX5GF/IMG_1422.jpeg Valentine's - Guten Morgen - Jakarta Guten Morgen Coffee: ok disclaimer, this coffee is sweet, they put in some brown sugar if I’m not mistaken? So they have 2 different options for this - Americano or Latte style. Obviously, it’s going to be latte style for me case I find it weird if I drink black coffee with sugar. My expectation was like the basic traditional kopi susu but turns out it kinda gives me a different impression. There’s a hint of cinamon-ey taste? and I kinda like it. But …. honestly, it’s better for you to share cause I can’t finish it by myself cause it’s just a bit too sweet. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2020/8/6/1u4no7dncodijym2ksbbmezepyrfj9 monthly 0.5 2020-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1597711203325-HBOAKF5PG60MND8C4NMW/B28CB134-AE3D-4BDF-AED9-28F859F07887.jpeg Valentine's - Kumolo Creative Space - BSD | Jakarta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1597711385918-Q0MY5Q6A656RNDI1INC3/IMG_3708.jpeg Valentine's - Kumolo Creative Space - BSD | Jakarta Kopi Susu Pandan - Kopi susu w/Pandan: I had a quite high expectation cause I've been hearing good things about Guten Morgen Coffee Lab, so I expected this to be able to have a similar unique taste as Kopi Bawah Tangga - cause this is my #1 favorite Es Kopi Susu in Jakarta. But...turns out it's very disappointing. The pandan itself wasn't able to be mixed and the coffee taste is just too bland. I mean don't get me wrong, I can definitely taste the coffee, but it's just.. it didn't match perfectly with the Pandan syrup and Gula Aren. Kopi Selamat Pagi- Kopi w/ coconut sugar and organic coconut: Of course I had to try their supposedly 'best-selling' coffee on the menu. This is by far the simplest Es Kopi Susu here. But no, it just.. it didn't work. The way they choose their beans is meh. Tastewise it's either/or not in a complete package, which means I was able to taste the coffee but not the sweetness of the coffee. It just didn't work. Kopi Sore-Sore - Kopi Teh Susu: This is the 'acceptable' coffee here, I personally think so because probably the tea makes everything a little bit better. If I had to go back, I would only get this. Kopi Susu - Kopi with Fresh Milk: It was super hot that day, felt sleepy and needed coffee. Decided to get their bitter coffee - no sugar added, no syrup added, no extra anything else, just.coffee. First impression, it's coffee is actually strong - but have you had a strong coffee but not the good kind of strong? That's the best way to describe it.

I’ve had a quite high expectation after getting their ice cream. Turns out, this is pretty much disappointing.

I had high expectations for this crusted bone marrow but man, I was quite disappointed with this one. Ok sure, I can taste the truffle, but the bone marrow itself is too salty and oily – it’s better for you to order another round of Pig Ear Fries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1595810766464-MV5DW2N98ZAI6GORG2LF/IMG_0491.jpeg Valentine's - Animale - Jakarta Oops Cheesetart: Molten Center, Camembert, Gorgonzola Cheesy and – a bit odd.

Bestia is more on the sweeter side and this ones salty enough that made me stop eating after the first bite . If you prefer salty bone marrow - I can definitely give you a heads up for this one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1583343735252-YK4L5T4CM5TVKHYHQAJA/IMG_7567.jpeg Valentine's - Here’s Looking at You - Los Angeles Beef Tartare : This damn raw beef is indeed next level.

Stop the time right now - I personally hate any kind of liver (except foie gras) but this is another exception. The taste is just sooo good it reminds you why you’re there in the first place. And the BAGUETTE - that crisp make everything perfect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1583372211276-BB4YBCMOTL80D9PJI0ND/IMG_7566.jpeg Valentine's - Here’s Looking at You - Los Angeles Chardonnay - Veuve Forny ‘Grand Reserve’ 1er Cru Brut Cote Des Blancs : this perfect glass of wine is the perfect pair to accompany all of the food being served.

Cold Moo: You know what this is. It’s the most hype but really good Ice Cream that (was) located in Dharmawangsa. Because they are relocating and under renovation atm, this was the main reason why I visited Brightspot Market just because I was craving for’em. All time fav in their menu? Definitely their Banana Bread Pudding & Cookies and Cream Ice Cream! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570244279280-40E5BS7AW9C434JVIM1L/public.jpeg Valentine's - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival. 2. Yum Cha Hauz: This is basically a Chinese Dim Sum specialty that sells Hainam rice too.It Tried their Hainam Siobak, which is sambal matah with crispy bacon and also tried their Hainam Pork Chasiu with Crispy Bacon. I gotta say, their packaging is impressive. It seems like a simple box but when you actually open it it spread into a kind-of paper plate. The dishes were just ok but the rice was pretty bad tbh. Texture wise it’s too weird and it’s just didn’t work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570271256848-7GIIHTW06EGQLZE3TQW3/image-asset.jpeg Valentine's - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival. 3. Honey Lane: Hmm, this is interesting. Basically, they sell soft serve yogurt and also some fresh iced tea – lemonade – etc. Their Yogurt is somehow salty but I kinda like it tho. The honey itself is fresh, which reminds me of Honeymee. For me, these two don’t really work well together, tastes kinda funny. Wish they sell some real soft serve vanilla ice cream cause that would be perfecto. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570242748705-8OZU3VXDX9ONVUQKEBIO/public.jpeg Valentine's - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570242702916-NE5MIQ24Z8WSW8R598ES/public.jpeg Valentine's - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570241265147-ILS62QZ2PY77AMJFB8EY/public.jpeg Valentine's - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival. Mangkokku: Literally 'Merakyat’ but with more expensive price. I tried their beef brisket and it’s pretty good. The way they serve their rice is just perfect too, this would be a great comfort food if you’re trying to find places that sell beef bowl other than Yoshinoya. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570242441962-DQKYXMO0HO8J682HL7TP/public.jpeg Valentine's - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival. Duck Down Pizza: OHHHH! Damn. That’s the first word that came out after just ONE BITE of this crazy crispy pizza. Wow. Indeed, it’s the bomb. I’ve heard a lot about Duck Down being one of the ratchet bars in Jakarta but I didn’t know that they actually have one of the best pizzas! Pretty much – this is the highlight of my JKT Culinary Festival night.

Doux Cookies: Ever had a Crispy Cookies? No? Good. This should be your #1 stop to try. Altho their cookies are thin – well, actually it’s the thin texture that makes it good. It’s crispy and I guarantee you’ll to order more! I tried their almond smores cookies and I’m a fan! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570242522152-4J8CFMJZK96J2H4T9LRF/public.jpeg Valentine's - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival. Nomz: Can’t remember how many times I’ve passed this cafe in Grand Indonesia but never manage to stop by and try. Why? Cause a lot of people said it’s not that worth it. To be frank - I was willing to give this a try yesterday so decided to get their mini salted egg croissant. Guess what? Impressive. This is a different kind of croissant that’s actually super crispy!! AAAAAND now, I’m cravin for more. Gotta visit their booth asap! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570240943287-VESJCSC9LNJW2KQ4T482/public.jpeg Valentine's - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570242599711-B1KMD7HJPIXO987SOWQI/public.jpeg Valentine's - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570242636545-E214M7YZWOVAGX5E43XA/public.jpeg Valentine's - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1570244591965-U2H60ANCXXHNDO1U2UY1/public.jpeg Valentine's - Brightspot Market vs. Jakarta Culinary Festival. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/weekendgetaway monthly 0.5 2019-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1569944569325-PS20D8OOLCC90TBK7K0V/public.jpeg Valentine's - A Weekend Getaway - Lakeside Rancabali https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1569944472186-ZMYLSUCONCAW9DWENB1K/public.jpeg Valentine's - A Weekend Getaway - Lakeside Rancabali https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1569944441681-H84O73X25RC0U9EP3S4J/public.jpeg Valentine's - A Weekend Getaway - Lakeside Rancabali https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1569944839362-SVNIO1E6BE692AY5FN3P/WhatsApp+Image+2019-10-01+at+10.45.49+PM.jpeg Valentine's - A Weekend Getaway - Lakeside Rancabali https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1569944519777-BQR1VDENK1XHXLMEJQWX/public.jpeg Valentine's - A Weekend Getaway - Lakeside Rancabali https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/santhaipik monthly 0.5 2019-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1569575686337-D9CI5F38ISBB7KCM27GM/public.jpeg Valentine's - Santhai - PIK Bangkok Beef: Are a you a fan of Mongolian Beef?

Not the right place to get your caffeine fix here, the milk is just too much, coffee temperature is just not hot enough. It’s just didn’t work, we can’t ever get along. (there’s Tanamera next door so better for you to go there). - Tapas Platter ( Selection of the day by chef’s creation with pita bread ): At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect - tbh I would get the usual Spanish platter with your kind of tortillas but I guessed wrong. I doubt it would taste good but after one bite, it’s actually good! My most fav from here? Their mushrooms, hands down. - Banana Bread: If you must know, I can never resist a Banana Bread even tho I’m on a carbs diet. Long story short I was pretty surprise with the kind of Banana Bread that I got and expected it would be overly sweet because of the cream as their topping. Surprisingly, it works and it’s actually good! I am a sweet tooth but not really just because my preference of sweetness is kinda below expectation. But this one, it’s definitely a must order. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1568130283045-1Z41P69BM1Q8XYQZ3MAM/public.jpeg Valentine's - Segundo (Hotel Monopoli) Jakarta - Bakmi Segundito (Cantonese Noodle with Smoked Minced Chicken, Mushroom, Prawn, Fish Ball & Boiled Chicken Wanton) : Welcome to the world of Asian ‘brunch.’ My dad is a noodle fan and when he realized they have Bakmi, he insist for me to order it for him. One word: Approved! - Nasi Goreng Ikan Asin (Pungent & Spicy Fried Rice with Borneo Salty Fish, Fresh Petai with Fresh Green Chili Sambal & Emping) : Fried rice can never go wrong!

It’s unique cause they put it inside a of a jewelry box. It’s small but pretty much filling cause it’s a brioche afterall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1565369087748-5ZLPLQX128MHSN81FO40/public.jpeg Valentine's - Bikini Restaurant - Bali To be honest, I can’t really remember the name tho.

I mean okay, I can tell that they use a much more premium than that (bleh) regular Starbucks latte, but having Cold Brew Malt & Nitro Cold Brew, why settle for less? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562839392781-2SN4RXI8V2LD4VMBZPK6/public.jpeg Valentine's - Starbucks Reserve Dewata - Bali Nitro Cold Brew - this has been my favorite drink since the first time I had it in Plaza Senayan. Bali’s one is more ‘nitro’ in a way, which is better than Jakarta’s. Looking for something bitter and powerful? Gotta get this one now! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562839227535-2TOX80YHYOS98BM2NYW4/public.jpeg Valentine's - Starbucks Reserve Dewata - Bali Cold Brew Malt Starbucks’ - Dewata signature small lot cold brew blended with ice cream and malt - this is by far my favorite drink ever in Starbucks. It’s considered to be very expensive drink for Starbucks with I think it was around Rp75-85k per cup but well, my life is literally complete in seconds. At first I didn’t expect much cause I thought it would just taste like a regular ice vanilla frappuccino but well - Starbucks Dewata really outdone themselves, from the sweetness level of perfect & blended and mixed beautifully. Can I get one more order please? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562836114603-XX9RX5IQLE1QM9LDC1ZM/public.jpeg Valentine's - Starbucks Reserve Dewata - Bali https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2019/7/4/4th-of-july monthly 0.5 2019-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312198626-U37F12PLFFB0WKVI2DI1/public.jpeg Valentine's - 4th of July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312630939-P81N1HUS47BF1JPTYAUE/public.jpeg Valentine's - 4th of July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312538538-B0366979SOA4DCRL6ISX/public.jpeg Valentine's - 4th of July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312494125-T7OFS3TRT53OT0SNX2NC/public.jpeg Valentine's - 4th of July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312581990-75DZB4A4EX8PWL7DUS6O/public.jpeg Valentine's - 4th of July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312690569-9E3B0J0A2IRZ2FVPSNGC/public.jpeg Valentine's - 4th of July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312772110-0SZ0TXS2O2BRTW1BQ2RS/public.jpeg Valentine's - 4th of July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312824756-K1HSAE61KX7JU4DTZ6RH/public.jpeg Valentine's - 4th of July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1562312928803-HJXDXHD618KVM526XI42/public.jpeg Valentine's - 4th of July. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2019/6/27/sayan-house-ubud-bali monthly 0.5 2019-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561627394354-WCUU16NYDKOZYFZCBH9J/IMG_8463.JPG Valentine's - Sayan House - Ubud, Bali Complimentary: This chips I think was made from beet and it was pretty good! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561627403880-B3H0QYF8184D05JU21MP/IMG_8461.JPG Valentine's - Sayan House - Ubud, Bali https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561627437816-38WAM95IZ90UUFUQYD5O/IMG_8459.JPG Valentine's - Sayan House - Ubud, Bali Ceviche Del Mar - Tuna, Salmon, Octopus, Prawn, Salsa veracruz, Tabasco, Shisho Leaf, Lime juice, Soy sauce: This is one of their starters that is good and refreshing. The freshness of the tuna is just oh-so-perfect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561627447027-J4J7DN1R98BGXL7H0NNG/IMG_8458.JPG Valentine's - Sayan House - Ubud, Bali Los De Sashimi Tacos - Citrus marinated prawns, salmon, tuna, Rice, Romaine lettuce, avocado, shallots, seaweed, cucumber & wasabi aioli : When I asked the server whether the tacos is small, they actually told me that it’s quite small and good for 1 person. Never have I ever seen an ‘appetizer’ this huge! I was sold the moment I saw ‘AVOCADO’ in the description and wow, this is one filling dish. The sashimi is just like the starter that I ordered - fresh & amazing. Having three combinations of fish + prawn is just the perfect pairing that they created. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561627463730-C2ESW0PZWF2ZAU5FWD7Z/IMG_8454.JPG Valentine's - Sayan House - Ubud, Bali King Prawn Jambalaya - Marinated King Prawn and Squid, Jambalaya rice with pork juice, Cajun spice, Vegetables, Boiled eggs & Wasabi aioli: I’m not really a big fan of Jambalaya style food but the fact that they make a great prawn with lots of spices made me lost in words. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561627461791-0F3241NJJ8QMP6A04QMZ/IMG_8455.JPG Valentine's - Sayan House - Ubud, Bali Sushi : i really can’t put it in my head which one is this but the fact that it’s just meh makes me stop thinking about the name real fast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561627475906-PDZPKHYG4NPCS3JDX2WM/IMG_8456.JPG Valentine's - Sayan House - Ubud, Bali Chicken Nanban - Garlic & Ginger marinated fried chicken, Nanban DASHI, Tartar sauce, Salsa Mexicana, Corlander Leek Salad: One simple dish that you can easily find in any Japanese restaurant but somehow, the crispiness of this Nanban Chicken creates a whole different level of fantastic(ness). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561627489842-WMY0HPB6Y6D48C12B4WG/IMG_8457.JPG Valentine's - Sayan House - Ubud, Bali Los Dewayan Tacos - Tempe Tempura, Romaine lettuce, Onion, Paprika, Salsa Mexicana, Sayan house sauce: I would say all of their tacos are nice. The way that they don’t really use that much sauce for this one is pretty nice to wash all of the spices I’ve tasted in other dishes. This could be the ‘kind-of’ healthy taco. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2019/6/21/tropical-mood monthly 0.5 2019-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561450210137-GX5G4N00BMLRSWIQR9IE/IMG_6752.JPG Valentine's - Tropical Mood. 1. Apurva Kempinski: A brand new 5 star hotel located in Nusa Dua that is perfectly build. Connected to the beach with a beautiful view from the lobby, it is one of the best places to go when you’re in Bali. This hotel is still considered new and they offered stays at an affordable price. There are a couple restaurants available in this hotel & there’s an underground aquarium being developed at the moment. This should be your destination when you’re in Bali! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561450309701-U0VHGUY02L710L15DVYP/IMG_7427.JPG Valentine's - Tropical Mood. 2. Love Anchor: Located in Canggu - this mini traditional market is full of traditional booths that sell clothes, bags, accessories, decorations, gifts, etc. It can also be the new photo spot if you’re looking for one. Price-wise is pretty expensive and they can be bargained - so try to at least bargain 50% of their original price. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561450773768-1A8ANU1ZBJ9RRLWQ9TOO/FullSizeRender.jpg Valentine's - Tropical Mood. 3. Krisna Oleh-Oleh Bali Bypass: Krisna gift shop is the most popular place in Bali for people to buy souvenirs (especially their Barong shirt). This new location is the largest one in Bali and they have Tanamera Coffee too. I feel that you should visit their other locations if you’re specifically looking for Barong shirt cause they don’t sell it in this spot. However, it could be your last destination if you’re looking to visit somewhere new in Bali. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561450351499-UWRM5GOXM96Y6CYYX2D4/IMG_6720.JPG Valentine's - Tropical Mood. 4. Campuhan Ridge Walk: Looking for some fresh air and complete green scenery? Perfectly located in Ubud, it is the best place for you to take a stroll in the evening before you’re having your dinner. This spot has a hilltop view that will leave you in awe - wear comfortable shoes cause it goes uphill. This is one of the best ways to get out of the busy street of Bali. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561455125472-TFYOOVCWF7F66RJ1H0O0/D17729AA-18AF-467F-A335-82172233ADB5.jpeg Valentine's - Tropical Mood. 5. Omnia Bali: The infamous day club in Uluwatu that is heavily advertised EVERYWHERE, literally. I made the mistake of making a reservation at Sake No Hana because I have been told it’s a good Japanese restaurant (not a fan though, disappointed at its best). This was open about a year ago and it has been crowded ever since! Still, after a year, It was still crowded when I went there on Monday but indeed this place is great for you to hangout with your friends (or party in Bali haha!). It is known to be super expensive and a lot of famous guest DJs play here. It is actually the first day club they open in the world, if you’ve known this famous first location in Las Vegas - then you would know how popular this place is. Sigh, kinda miss Vegas tho! But definitely gotta book your spot here on a weekday if you’re coming here with your fam! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561455164603-ZJIF8XOMVH0SSON4KW7B/IMG_6542.jpeg Valentine's - Tropical Mood. 6. Expat Coffee Roasters: Many cafes use Expat’s coffee beans cause they’re just so so so good! Freshly brewed every day, Expat offers great coffee with limited seatings - kinda give you the work and coffee vibe. When you enter their cafe - you can literally smell the perfect coffee smell that makes you want to order their coffee ASAP - and indeed, it is a great coffee shop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561455220029-49QINLX8026KKDZFT0FS/20190603_175811.jpeg Valentine's - Tropical Mood. 7. La Plancha: Unique beach club / lounge by the beach in Kuta. I’d recommend for you to come early around 5 pm to be able to get the beanbags spot to watch the sunset. Don’t expect a clean-perfect place, it is more into colorful spot with a lot of umbrellas too. They don’t have that much of bites or small plates or desserts so it’s better for you to just get a drink here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1561455260515-L3MMOQVCKAELNMB940Q8/IMG_6301.jpeg Valentine's - Tropical Mood. 8. Ulu Cliffhouse: The next level view in Uluwatu. Wonderfully located up in the hill, you get what I can call ‘a million dollar view.’ It literally embraces the Uluwatu view from the top. You are able to go to the beach too by going down the stairs. A perfect view of the cliffs from the top with great selections of wine by the glass will definitely complete your Bali trip! Try to make a reservation beforehand to secure the best spot for you to enjoy the sunset. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2019/6/10/the-garden-jakarta-pik-amp-pim monthly 0.5 2019-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560154742423-2FBR14E9MTAJ7K2EXM3U/IMG_2243.JPG Valentine's - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Bad’ass Fried Rice: My go-to order when I’m at The Garden. It’s indeed badass-ly spicy but the taste is just so perfect. If you like Nasi Goreng Gila , then this is the fancy version of it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560154786602-99HL4HRWRA731SES2NGC/IMG_2252.JPG Valentine's - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Salmon & Tuna Pizza: It’s similar to Akira Back but I still prefer Akira Back’s. I’m not saying it’s not good, it’s actually taste great too, but it’s just lack of truffle and size is actually smaller. Well, it’s affordable & this is actually the right size for it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560154963653-UZSL8QKH29JYFMW8V8T7/IMG_2255.JPG Valentine's - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Wonton Bulgogi Taco: If you’re looking for something simple as a starter, you can consider this, it’s not my most fav dish to be honest but it’s pretty unique. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560155089295-MEMMROC0OHP0W78V450H/IMG_2257.JPG Valentine's - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] The Wonder Duck Crispy Kecombrang: Great fried duck just like Gioi’s. Calling out spicy lovers tho, look at those three different chili! Despite the price, duck is still good but I feel that Gioi’s is more tasty and crispy. However, give this a try if you haven’t been to Gioi cause it’s definitely worth it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560155037342-CURZRSN6EINOSRRLEUSE/IMG_2256.JPG Valentine's - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Pork Salad: I can’t really remember the exact name cause this was a year ago. But dang, the thai sauce & crispy pork is just da bomb. Crispy, flavorful & tasty - what else do you need? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560154657267-7O2DFSHUAG76D42ET13Q/IMG_2240.JPG Valentine's - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Crispy Chicken Skin with Smoked Honey: I mean, this never goes wrong right? plus they use a extremely delish smoked honey sauce, imagine the goodness please. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560156248456-61OL4C6Z3FU8NXDMARG5/20190508_202447.jpg Valentine's - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Wagyu Sate Padang: Not a fan of Sate Padang but… I CAN’T RESIST THIS ONE. it’s chewy, it’s tender and it’s something you’re gonna be proud of eating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560156374585-FY4W35XVHRD4ZN76H349/20190508_202638.jpg Valentine's - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Crab Curry: Can’t find their menu online yet and thanks to my short-term-memory-lost (hi Dori), this reminds me of Somboon Thailand. The curry sauce is making you glad you’ve ordered the right dish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560177083818-5TGA9PO7NF9DW2O0GY9J/20190508_203444.jpg Valentine's - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Squid Ink Rice: Ahh hello Kilo, similar to them but slightly different. I am a fan of their squid, seriously. It’s crispiness is really what dreams are made of. Can’t choose which one’s better cause can never go wrong with both - I’m talking about the one in Bali, not the Jakarta one (pls don’t go there). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560156430519-XSUKOYSGIOCNYBHZ9EDG/20190508_202704.jpg Valentine's - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Pork Belly Bao: Again, don’t ask me the detailed name for this dish, I just know the bun is too good to be true.

This was the first time I tried it and it wasn’t the best. I tried it again about a week ago and it looks simply like KFC, which taste waaaay better than this one. Sadly, I finished it first before remembering I haven’t taken a single picture of the modified Ayam Geprek. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560178924429-SM3YQQ6RS7JZ7N067BQ8/20190508_210608.jpg Valentine's - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] Honey Boba Toast: Sorry, this just didn’t work for me. The sauce it’s too sweet, the bread is just too thick - still prefer En Dining’s. Their boba is actually sweet enough to make it right, I know they’ve tried their best - but maybe it’s just not the best combination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1560156714700-J2WMT8UJTKEB1TSY181R/20190508_205618.jpg Valentine's - The Garden - Jakarta [PIK & PIM] She’s a Slice of Heaven - Durian Sauce: If you’ve known me personally, you gotta know I’m not a fan of DURIAN. In fact, I am a durian hater. uh-huh, I am - sorry not sorry. Kinda challenged myself to try this out and dang, this is good than I expected it. It literally taken me by surprise.

They mix the Bali Kintamani and Sumatra coffee. Honestly? It’s too bitter&too strong but in a bad way. The taste of the bitterness is making me wanna stop drinkin it all together after one sip. Just didn’t work at all. Medium Dark Roast - Sumatra Gayo: this is my most fav filtered coffee in Seniman. Taste-wise is just right on point. I can taste abit of chocolatey and it has a nice thickness to it. Lighter Roast - Bali Karana Madu: call me a girl with lots of high expectations, this one is just okay but not a big fan of it. It’s pretty bland and too light (i know it’s called ‘Lighter Roast’ for a reason but it just doesn’t work for me). On a side-note, I am a fan of their smell. It’s has a light-medium kinda smell. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1559835144572-3DX0H6J57WXYQ9QIIXBR/IMG_5248.JPG Valentine's - Seniman Coffee Studio - Ubud, Bali The Shop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1559835165780-7UCNJQV9B1YFIBI2PE2Y/IMG_5247.JPG Valentine's - Seniman Coffee Studio - Ubud, Bali The Workshop. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2019/5/23/hanyang-garden-senopati-jakarta-indonesia monthly 0.5 2019-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1558613771553-H6NR4KBG9W3RS79X5S0I/IMAGE.JPG Valentine's - Hanyang Garden Senopati - Jakarta, Indonesia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1558613822526-RREHHB7BD83SO6M5IJ2M/FullSizeRender.jpg Valentine's - Hanyang Garden Senopati - Jakarta, Indonesia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1558613863156-DXKBWGO74EJWSS6RHHTL/IMAGE.JPG Valentine's - Hanyang Garden Senopati - Jakarta, Indonesia https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2019/5/5/time-to-grow monthly 0.5 2019-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1557071666731-G3B359A6YZH54UXRED0Z/IMG_2447.JPG Valentine's - Time to Grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1557072187174-KX8EYJEZVSLP798C1FK7/BVTG2036.JPG Valentine's - Time to Grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1557072197737-45JBPOYZQ37VY4I777P4/IMG_1395.JPG Valentine's - Time to Grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1557072209498-YWOX7UO1Z1F0R9W7KDIV/DYTXE0821.JPG Valentine's - Time to Grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1557072232830-KZ9HTO1KIMY34LLKR7TP/IMG_0179.JPG Valentine's - Time to Grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1557072270079-RHP8FO868Y240OKNKJCN/IMG_E0724.JPG Valentine's - Time to Grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1557072294092-MRRUDYEX9Z7R14YSPCT5/IMG_E0742.JPG Valentine's - Time to Grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1557072444337-F9ZW3NIHX5OOEPFF0MSJ/IMG_9005.JPG Valentine's - Time to Grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1557072638089-645VOV5ICQXV4T2SQO6X/HJRT4375.JPG Valentine's - Time to Grow. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2019/4/24/kimono-amp-arabica-arashimaya monthly 0.5 2019-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1556121866905-06VU61ZDNGOQHA9RZ4WV/FullSizeRender.jpg Valentine's - Kimono and % Arabica Arashimaya https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1556121869539-6W76JGK7E57GVJEOW90F/FullSizeRender.jpg Valentine's - Kimono and % Arabica Arashimaya https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1556121886375-HSI65NDF36KU316B2ASC/FullSizeRender.jpg Valentine's - Kimono and % Arabica Arashimaya https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2019/4/21/engine-ramen-kyoto monthly 0.5 2019-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1555899243170-USPQGCDKVACW1QEDF33S/FullSizeRender.jpg Valentine's - Engine Ramen - Kyoto https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2019/4/18/buta-daigaku-shimbashi-japan monthly 0.5 2019-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1555582880395-4XW7KLJIBEARX1MPV224/IMAGE.JPG Valentine's - Buta Daigaku - Shimbashi, Japan - PORK PORK PORK! https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2019/4/17/lucky-star monthly 0.5 2019-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1555562790778-JZKES40SB25E28UOSGUL/IMG_0551.JPG Valentine's - Lucky Star https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2019/3/27/the-twenty-eighth monthly 0.5 2019-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1553707550761-X8LFXM940EB296M40L4R/IMG_1872.JPG Valentine's - The twenty eighth. https://wanderlust-valentine.com/blog/2019/3/15/streamer-shinsaibashi-osaka monthly 0.5 2019-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1553242463847-IVHIPP4O7WP4IOZ71WZQ/FullSizeRender.jpg Valentine's - Streamer - Shinsaibashi, Osaka The Military Latte! how pretty is this?! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59edd6606f4ca3b804fdd3b4/1553242572368-GSY0KGS1JYU8N0YQ9UEH/FullSizeRender.jpg Valentine's - Streamer - Shinsaibashi, Osaka I think it’s called something like Streamer Latte or something.
