It's me again!! Gatau lagi udah berapa dasawarsa kutinggalkan dunia blog ini. Kemudian tiba suatu waktu rindu yang tak lagi terbendung, and i decided to write again :) So here is my very first post after a very long time goes for ISCAKETORY or ISAURA CAKE FACTORY!! ISCAKETORY is placed inside a lifestyle junction : Crumble Crew (. There are some other food tenants such as Nalu Bowls, Cyclo Coffee, Mangan-Mangan, etc. And one of the tenants that catch my eyes is ISCAKETORY. I was meant to just have coffee with my friend, but then we ended up visit ISCAKETORY first then went to Cyclo to get our coffee and seated back at ISCAKETORY. There were actually 3 areas in Crumble Crew: 1st floor non-smoking indoor area, 1st floor outdoor smoking area, and 2ns floor smoking area. ISCAKETORY is at the corner beside Pokey Studio and was pretty crowded at the time i visited. The place itself has its own open kitchen (as you can see in the main picture), quite small with jus...

Luckily selected as one of the lucky guests to be invited on their opening day. Here is a new addition to your culinary-list around South Jakarta. Newly opened just across 711 Wolter Monginsidi. They provide free valet parking but well just like other restaurants around the area, the parking space was limited. The first thing that caught my attention was their buffet bar, like smoking hot! Beside the vegetables, assorted seafood balls, they provide some ready-to-eat food like sushi, bolognese ramen, chap chae, assorted fried food, gyuudon, and desserts. Also there are a lot of choices of dipping sauce. Buffet Bar   Sneak Peak of their buffet bar To get started, we have to choose whether to have set menu style or all-you-can-eat style. For AYCE, you'll be given 90 minutes. After that, we have to choose the meat. There are 3 choices of meat which are Special, Premium, and Wagyu. Then they faced us to make a difficult decision: what to have for the SOUP. There ar...

Well, who doesn't know this heaven for the sweet tooth?? People talk about this place since its opening, and yet still until now. The place itself is really easy to spot by its red-brick color wall and the big sign "CACAOTE" in front of its building. What i can tell you about the place is it's so glamor and elegant from the outside, with big glass door just like if you entered a castle. You can see through the glass door that there's a beautiful chandelier to welcome you inside.   They are two separated areas: the non smoking area at the 1st floor which is more casual along with the cake display, while the smoking area at the 2nd floor is more elegant and classic modern.   stairway to 2nd floor 2nd floor 2nd floor, Bar As you can see, the second floor area is so much elegant with the wooden floor, dark chairs and sofas. Aside from the desserts, they also have full meals menu. Since i was still full from lunch, m...

Been very busy this couple months doing my thesis. But all the hard works finally paid off. i pass the thesis exam and will have my graduation on Nov 17 (yeayy!). Well then now i have the time to blogging again (finally!), fyi i should've post this on Jun 15. Sorry for this very late post. So then here we go! Been craving so long for this restaurant, after i saw a pict taken by my friend on instagram, picturing their famous Valrhona Chocolate Marsbar. Setelah gagal ke Publico saat kunjungan ke Commune (1st post), enggak bikin saya menyerah untuk tetap mencoba kesini. Akhirnya sepupu pas banget tiba2 ngajakin pergi, dan saya yang disuruh nentuin tempatnya. Langsung aja sebut "Publico yuk", dan doi setuju-setuju aja. Berangkat jam 5 dari kost saya, kami sampai sekitar pukul 5.40. Deg-deg'an karena takut full reserved seperti waktu itu, akhirnya saya turun ngecek dulu apakah available atau tidak. Dan ternyata ada tempat sampai sekitar pukul 7.30. Langsung deh parkir...

Setelah direncanain selama seminggu, akhirnya tibalah hari Jumat lalu dimana saya dan beberapa teman kampus janjian buat nongkrong bareng, dan seperti biasa selalu saya yang disuruh nentuin tempat. Setelah kunjungan yang cukup menarik ke Mojo di senopati, akhirnya saya iseng "ngubek-ngubek" tempat seru lainnya di senopati. Maklum, sebelumnya jarang banget ke daerah senopati :p Dan setelah menclak-menclok sana-sini di berbagai blog, akhirnya tingkat penasaran tertinggi jatuh kepada Publico, tapi sayang sekali waktu telpon buat booking, emang dasar belom jodoh, ternyata Publico udah full booked buat jam 19.00, sedangkan saya dan teman-teman baru akan sampai senopati sekitar pukul 17.30. Dan untungnya saya punya back-up plan, jadilah kami melanjutkan perjalanan sedikit ke Commune Cafe-Bistro di jalan Suryo, gak jauh dari Publico. Begitu sampai, kami disambut sama satpam yang jaga disana, dan ternyata ada Valey Parking. Tapi berhubung mobil teman saya ini agak "manja...
