Hi guys, we're sorry for not posting for so long because we're currently in our hectic year of college so we didn't have spare time to checking new restaurants and make review about it.... so sorry hiks. We're saving this one and we were here couple months ago actually but this one seriously need a review because we really enjoy their food and dessert here so let us introduce you to a new Japanese Yakitori restaurant, Toridoll Yakitori! It's a Yakitori place but they also serve many authentic Japanese foods and don't forget the delicious desserts yum! Located at Gandaria City just opposite Maison Tatsuya, you can find it easily and also they got a pretty big space too. The design is really elegant and fancy even from the outside and they have see-through kitchen in the middle too! Ah, they will open another branch soon at Kota Kasablanka so don't forget to check it out.

Sophie Authentique: The Authentique Beauty of French Pastries

Happy Independence day Indonesia! Since Ailsa is leaving for 10 days, I'll be in charge taking care of this blog. I hope at last she will bring us some good materials to be featured here. lol. So, two weeks before her departure, I went to Sophie with her and one of our college friend. Actually right after our visit to jjang. At first we were confused to which sophie we should be visited to. I just knew lately that this one is the branch of that ones located at Kemang Selatan, my bad.

I had visited both Sophie and I could tell that, by far, this one is bigger than their first shop at Kemang Selatan. Dominated by blue, I really like the interior here. It is both sophisticated and comfy. They also have parking lot which I don't find in the ones at Kemang Selatan. lol. Even if I found it more homey in Kemang Selatan, it still troubles me with the no-parking-lot-area.

Korean Jjajangmyeon Noodles - Jjang Korean Noodles and Grill

Hi hi! Who is a fans of Korean drama? If you are, then you must be familiar with the Black Bean Noodles or Jjajangmyeon right? For those who don’t know, Jjajangmyeon is a mix Korean and Chinese cuisine which is a noodle with thick black bean soy sauce that always ordered as an take out or delivery in Korean drama. There are so many korean restaurant now in Jakarta but it’s really hard to find Jjajangmyeon especially a no-pork restaurant. But! There’s a new restaurant in Senopati that sell Jjajangmyeon and of course other Korean foods withouth pork and lizard meat, it’s Jjang-Korean Noodles and Grill!

Located at the main street of Senopati, Jjang is on the 2nd floor of Kambing Bakar Cairo and just across Born Ga Restaurant. We went there with one of our friend and it was lunch but there were only couple of seats that equipped. The place wasn’t big, actually it was pretty small but with the Korean scenery wallpaper and the wooden theme, the ambiance of Jjang will really makes you feel like you’re in Korea!

Day 3: See You Bandung!

Welcome back everyone, how are you?? We're back from long Holiday! First we want to say Happy Eid Al-Fitr to all our Muslim friends all over the world! May the joy be with us guys. Here is the third part of my three-days trip to Bandung! Yeah right, this is Bella's writting here. lol. Without much unnecessary explaination, let me start my third day journey!

So, since this is the last day, I actually wanted to gather and meet all my friends this day. Too bad, most of them are busy preparing the exams since its on their exam week. Fortunately, I got to meet my other bestfriend on my very last day in Bandung. She used to be my partner in crime pal in term of shopping and culinary trips. We both share the same hobbies; never worry to spend money on things you like. lol.

Jump on to the foods I want to review here, I went to Hakata Ikkousha Bandung. I know that I can find it in Jakarta too, but what makes it special here is that they only serve halal foods. So, for you who really curious about this ramen but never try to taste it since you are afraid of what it contains, you can come to Bandung for a worry free Hakata Ikkousha ramen!

Day 2: Happy Birthday to You!

Hello everyone! First, we want to apologize for this late post. Actually Ailsa had already prepared for the next post when I was in Solo, but I accidentally removed it:( I wasn't literally trying to remove it though, but shit happened on blogger, it changed the post and doubled our kyochon's post. If you happened to check our blog during that time, we are sorry for the trouble guys.

So, as our apologize, here is the second post of three days trip's to Bandung! As I told you, I was here to celebrate my bestfriend's birthday. Happy 21st Birthday to DWINIA AQMARINA!! She's one of my best pals when I was still in Unpad. We live very close and spend (almost) everything together each day. I miss living my days in Bandung with her:")

Happy Birthday My Lovely Dede!

Chickin and Chickin at Kyochon!

Hellow~ This is Ailsa again! Who can say no to fried chicken??? I'm judging you really hard right now because no one can ever resist fried chicken okay. One day, me and bella strolling around Gandaria City and despite we already have so many foods and desserts, we just can't resist the 20% off at Kyochon. So we decided to eat at Kyochon as evening "snacks" ((what)), but now we will be reviewing the one at Kota Kasablanka! Please excuse our badly taken photos because we're just getting started of our foods-photography-thingy back then.

Located at Upper Ground level of Food Society, just like the other restaurant at the same row, Kyochon has half-open places at outside and at inside near the cashier. Last year i went to Seoul for Summer School and i realized that you can easily find Kyochon at tourists attraction. But truthfully i've never tried Kyochon at Seoul, just because there're so many local restaurants that sell the same chicken ((even better)) as Kyochon and there's Kyochon in Jakarta so i can just try it the one at Jakarta he he. The ambiance was just like the one at Seoul minus handsome oppars of course and who can miss Lee MinHo's photos as the ambassador tho? lol. If you realise, i named the title of this post with Chickin not Chicken anyone know why? Because that's how Koreans read Chicken in hangul hahaha.

Day 1: A Place to Remember

Hi everyone, this is Bella writing! From all the posts we have published, it is the first post I've ever wrote myself, because usually it's Ailsa who's in charge of writing reviews. But, since it's my personal travelling experience and she didn't partake in this journey, unfortunately I can't ask her to write it for me. lol. Anyways, I had three days full of eating experience in Bandung. Therefore, I'm gonna divide the post into three parts. I hope these posts can help you in choosing decent cafes or restaurants in Bandung!

There are a lot of cafes and restaurants in Bandung. Since I had once live in Bandung for a year and still regularly going there up until now, a lot of friends often ask my recommendation on cafes or restaurants when they go there. Sadly, my mind goes automatically blank after hearing that question. Even when I'm in Bandung, me and my friends always debate about where to eat since there's too many food places. Sometimes, we ended up at that one place again, and again. What worse is that there's no zomato in Bandung. So, I kindda have no clue where to seek for good recommendation.

Learning from that experience, I'm happy to say that now I have a platform where I can share my culinary journey in Bandung. Almost all the hippiest cafes in Bandung I've been to, up to the extent that I had it enough. So now, I'm more into local food. Unfortunately when I went there last June, there were a lot of local food restaurants that closed due to fasting-month holiday. Well then maybe, I'll post about it later in my next visit.

Honestly the reason why I went to Bandung was because of my bestfriend's birthday. On the first day, I didn't get to meet her because she had something to do. So, I went to Tizi's with my other friends after wandering around for an hour, looking for a restaurant that meets our taste for breakfasting. As I've told you before, a lot of restaurant closed due to the start of fasting month holiday. Fortunately, when we went there, it's open! Tizi's is a classic steak house located in Dago Atas (not far after MCD simpang). If you are from Bandung, you should know how iconic this place is. I recall to have my 20th birthday lunch here last year. There since have been me and my pals' favorite restaurant.

The place is kindda spacious with a yard in the middle of it, filled with a lot of flowers and plants. It is indeed really green, which makes the air here really fresh and cool. They also have their own little bakery shop, selling traditional dutch pastries, but I didn't get to take the pictures of it. So sorry:(

MDL: Local Taste with Western Touch

Who haven't gone for breakfasting with friends in this Ramadhan month? We're sure everyone already did at least once. So, last Thursday we have breakfasting with our peer group in UI "Geng Makan". It was actually quite hard to find restaurant with no pork menu nowadays, so we decided to go for Indonesian food at MDL, Kota Kasablanka! You can easily find MDL which located at Ground Floor of Food Society. The place has really elegant interior that scream expensive from outside lol. But you can feel a great ambiance especially from the interior. The place wasn't actually that spacious but not cramped either.
