One of My Favorite Cafés in Jakarta
It's one of those dishes I never have to think twice about ordering—I always end up choosing the Calabrezze Pizza
My Go-To Pizza at Pizza Marzano
My go-to order at Honu is the Two n Two bowl and I honestly never get tired of it. Paired with their brown rice, it’s packed with flavor and has the perfect umami taste. I also recommend dining it. The atmosphere is cozy, peaceful and makes the whole...
My Favorite Bowl at Honu Kemang
Just by looking at the photo, doesn't it make you hungry? 😍 That's exactly why I keep coming back to Justus Steak House. The steak is delicious, the quality is consistently good, and it's one of the best value-for-money steakhouses I've tried. Every...
Where I Go When I'm Craving a Good Steak
Mini Calore is one of my favorite healthy meal spots. They have a wide selection of Indonesian and Western dishes, with options like brown rice, basmati rice, and plenty of vegetables. Every meal I’ve tried has been flavorful, well-balanced, and fill...
The Diet Meal I Actually Enjoy
I always get my Fore Donuts from their Epicentrum branch and honestly, I keep coming back for a reason.
My all-time favorites are Pistachio and Tiramisu Temptation, but their newest flavors (Zesty Choco and Truffle Mushroom) completely surprised me....
The Donuts I Keep Coming Back For
Living in Jakarta means I'm definitely guilty of getting FOMO whenever a new food spot starts going viral😂 and Ayam Goreng Bandung Bu Iyin was one of them. I actually knew the owner from TikTok back when she was a content creator who often reviewed ...
This Ayam Goreng Basah Had My Whole Office Hooked 😂
It all started with a random craving for an old-school Indonesian cake. I went searching through Threads for recommendations and kept seeing people mention classic mocha cakes especially Tante Grace and Martha. I eventually decided to try Tante Grace...
🍰 Jakarta’s Old-School Mocha Cake — If You Know, You Know ⭐
This is another one of my TikTok discoveries 😂. I was casually scrolling through my FYP when I came across videos from secretaries sharing food recommendations they usually order for office meetings. After swiping through the videos and reading the ...
The 2K Rupiah Pisang Molen My Office Keeps Ordering
I've been to Sugar & Spice at InterContinental Jakarta Pondok Indah several times for their weekday brunch and every time I go, I basically have the same mission: try as much as possible because I'm definitely not leaving without getting my money...
The Hotel Buffet Where I Want to Try Everything
I first discovered Sari Sari at Sarinah after a friend told me it was originally from Bandung. I decided to give it a try and at the time, some of their traditional snacks started at around IDR 2,500 which I thought was pretty reasonable. My personal...
Where I Take My Foreign Friends for Indonesian Snacks
I discovered Sibohu simply because it's in the same area as my gym, Fitness First Oakwood. When I found out it was a halal Chinese restaurant, of course I got curious. So two of my friends and I decided to meet up and finally give it a try. The resta...
Come Hungry—These Noodle Bowls Are HUGE!
We were planning a farewell lunch for one of our team members. Usually, our go-to options would be RM Padang Sederhana or Cazbar, but this time we decided to switch things up and try Noesaka at One Satrio.
Noesaka has a similar concept to Remboelan,...
A Refreshing Alternative to Remboelan for Indonesian Food 🇮🇩
I visited Loewy for an iftar dinner with my office team during Ramadan. We made our reservation about a week in advance which I'd definitely recommend, especially during busy periods and tried their special Ramadan menu. And now I understand why Loew...
A Jakarta Classic That Still Lives Up to the Hype
I first spotted NAMA Donut while staying at InterContinental Residence and wandering around PIM 2. I’d seen their Japanese pumpkin donuts going viral before but never had the chance to try them, so obviously, curiosity won. And somehow, it turned int...
