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.

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!

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.

Black House: Different Theme in One Place

Hi guys! This is Ailsa writing, first, I want to say that from now on we will be posting regularly every 2 or 3 days. So, make sure to catch it up!  Now, I will be reviewing a cute-yet-chic place, Black House, Senopati! I'm so lucky to get invited by Zomato for my first foodie meet-up last month. I'm so excited when the invitation arrived hahaha i've been posting so many review and gain pretty much followers from then lol. Kay enough with the excitement, let's go to hear my story!

At first i thought i lost the way there because the road was dark but it turned that Black House located in a neighborhood. Don't worry! Eventhough it was dark, it was a quite environment which was different from another restaurant at Senopati that mostly took place at the main road and I personally really like quite place so i really like their environment!

Judging from the title maybe you guys already guess what's the main attraction of Black House? Yes, it's their different unique theme that they set for every floor! Black house itself is a 4 storey building which was originally the owner's house, that explains why it was located in a neighborhood. 

When all of us arrived, we got a tour to all part of Black House by Kak Chewy. Our original table was on the 1st floor which devided by 3 different theme which are Coffee Area, Boutique Area, and Book Area. In this floor they also have a store that sells clothes and other stuff like that, you must visit it if you want to shop for some cool clothes! It was quite dark in this floor and even if you come at noon, this floor will always be dark because it's not an open place where you can expect the sun coming from the windows (there's no window tho). This floor is pretty suitable for a hang-out or it can be for couples too! Ah, and in every area they have special drinks which you can order only if you sit at that theme placed. You will notice a board sign contains special drink's names in your area!

Zenbu: Cheezy Japanese Dining

Hello guys! For our second post we will reviewing a hot place for satisfying your Japanese taste-buds, The House of Mozaru, Zenbu! We came to the branch in Kota Kasablanka around 2 months ago. Located exactly one floor below Sushi Tei, which is actually a bit secluded even for us who are really familiar with Kota Kasablanka lol, and it’s a Japanese restaurant so of course the theme is all about Japanese maybe kinda more like Japanese street-food style. We never been at Japan before but images on Google pretty convincing about this street-food style lmao. The place was pretty big with mostly sofa-seated except the one at the center  so we request for that seat because it’s different and kinda cute with the wooden decoration at the side. Also there's a transparant kitchen so you can see the chef cooking your meal! We didn’t have a good sight of it because we sat pretty far for the kitchen huf too bad.

Casadina Kitchen & Bakery: Big Plate for Big Tummy!

Welcome to our first post yeay! We’re really excited to start our first restaurant’s review of that “IT” places to hang out, Casadina Kitchen & Bakery, Kuningan! It located exactly inside Apartment Rasuna Tower 17 opposite Epicentrum Mall. If you came from Kuningan, you can go to that alley beside Pasar Festival which lead you to Epicentrum Mall then make a U-turn in front of it and tadaaa you can perfectly see Casadina’s sign on your left. Because it’s really near to the U-turn, dont’ miss out the entrance! (because we nearly did hehe). The entrance to Casadina was a bit confusing for us at first because it’s near the alley between Casadina and the nearest bulding apartment, so please don’t be confuse like we did lol.


The waiter kindly welcome us and we sat in front of the counter just beside the window.  We asked the waiter about their main courses specialty and he recommend us to order which were Chicken Parmagiana (65k) and Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken Breast (65k). For the drink we ordered Green Tea Almond Milk (35k) from their Healthy Crushes and Slushes (its their specialty for beverages) and Candy Mint Chocolate (35k). After ordering, we scanned through the menu again and decided to add Chilli Salted Dusted Calamari (55k) for Appetizer. We suggest you to ask the waiter about their specialty, you may find it hard to choose what to order because all the dishes’ name (yes the name) looks really good!
