2sons @ Paskal Hyper Square, Bandung

Found a minimalist, attractive, and affordable Japanese cuisine cafe when I strolled around Paskal Hyper Square for dinner. Just drive into the complex and you'll found 2sons at the right side. It's a 2 storey cafe, with semi outdoor area on 2nd floor. I like their black and white interiors, with cute huge city mural on their walls and some Japanese quote along the stairway.

Come in Moment

Name all Japanese food you can think of, and you can find it here. Starts from sushi, sashimi, ramen, udon, donburi, even anmitsu. Not too much variations tho'. But hey, they serve some fusion menu. And that's one of the food I've tried.

Volcano - Rp 35.000

Volcano, this is one of their fusion sushi. Why? Because it's fried after rolled. So you get that bit of crisp taste. Made of fresh salmon, crabstick, tobiko, then rolled with seaweed, and seasoned well with mayonnaise. Yum!

Shoyu Ebi Tempura Udon - Rp 45.000

Originally wanted to try their ramen, but it's sold out already. So I tried their Shoyu Ebi Tempura Udon. I'm not a fan of udon, but this one is delicious. Their udon has this smooth and slightly chewy texture, which is my liking. It's that good till you can slurp it comfortably. The shoyu broth is fragrant with some seaweed topping. And the tempura consists of 2 ebi, 1 onion, and 1 sweet potato. Each one is nicely coated and fried.

Beef Mozaru - Rp 27.000

Beef Mozaruuu... This is so fusion. But it lacks that nice cheesy coating on top. More like a butter fried rice with good beef slices topping.

Pot of Coffee - Rp 20.000

Had all that with a Pot of Coffee. It's a regular black coffee, and served with a sugar sachet so you can add it up to your preference.

2sons is a nice, minimalist, and value for money Japanese restaurant in Paskal Hyper Square. I enjoy my dining time here, and will come back for more of their sushi and ramen.

Monsoon Cafe @ Jl Sirnamanah, Bandung

Let me tell you a secret... Monsoon Cafe is my current favourite working area. As in their tagline Coffee. Co.work , I also enjoy my working time here. Cozy ambiance, free Wi-Fi, and easily accessed location. And free coffee if you co-work with them.

Monsoon Cafe has indoor and outdoor dining area. I like their interior, dominated with bluish grey hue and some spotlight. At the upright corner, you'll find my fave spot. Cozy couch, a quite large table for my netbook and electric plug. You need that for work don't you? He he...

Monsson Java Dipped Coffee - Rp 32.000

Here I tried their signature, Monsoon Java Dipped Coffee. A very instagrammable one, and very appetizing when it's served. Just dip the chocolate into the coffee and let it melt all da waayyy... wait, I mean, till your personal preferred taste. Got mine melted entirely and I got a hot chocolate.

Sweet Licco

Another signature of Monsoon Cafe, Sweet Licco. And the good news is, you can get this for free by posting and mention them @monsoon.cafe on instagram. Please ask the staff beforehand if this promotion still ongoing, okay?

Back to the review, this Sweet Licco is pretty ordinary. Just a very light and mild sweet coffee, kind of like a flavoured water. This drink is great for those who limit their daily caffeine intake.

Avocado Ice Coffee Latte - Rp 32.000

The Avocado Ice Coffee Latte is nice. I like the avocado flavour which is combined with coffee aroma. It's just perfectly balanced.

Iced Lemon Squash - Rp 26.000

Monsoon Cafe also served non coffee drink. There are teas, mineral water, etc. And also squash, which I tried. The Iced Lemon Squash is splendid. I like the tanginess and sourness, added with a little kick of soda. Totally refreshing. And I think it will be perfect visually if the seeds is strained first.

Waffle Cinnamon Almond - Rp 27.000

When my tummy went hungry, I ordered the Waffle Cinnamon Almond. This one is recommended. I like the butter crisp waffle. I like how the ice cream is not melted easily. I like the nice sprinkle of almond and cinnamon powder. It's delicious. Yum!

French Fries Four Season - Rp 22.000

The French Fries Four Season is nicely fried. It is served 4 kinds of sauce, which is tomato sauce, chili sauce, mayonnaise and mustard. But don't take too long to finish it, because it will be soaked and not crisp.

I have a pleasant moment here, delicious food and drink, and I hope you'll have it too. Cheers!

Makan Doeloe @ Jl Pajajaran, Bandung

Makan Doeloe  means eat first in Bahasa Indonesia. This food court is located right at the crossroad of Jl Pajajaran, Hussein Airport, Jl Abdulrahman Saleh, and Jl Arjuna. It's a semi outdoor food court, with wooden tables and bench. What I like most from this food court is their Wi-Fi. Been here twice and I had no complaint! He he...

As a food court, I think it's good. You can find various main course, snack, and dessert to satisfy all your tummy needs. 

Pisang Aroma - Rp 12.000

Does any of you like Pisang Aroma? When it's served, I'm a bit surprised since it's BIG. They used a whole banana right there. Appetizing as it looked, it's tasty too. The spring roll skin is crisp and the chocolate banana filling is sweet. Just like how there're stains of caramel all over the skin. That's the delicious sign.

Soto Betawi Daging - Rp 21.000 

I tried Soto Betawi from Aneka Soto Bu Hartono. It's good, but the coconut milk soup is a bit light to my liking. This Soto Betawi comes with a good portion of meat.

Nasi Bebek Goreng Serundeng - Rp 35.000

Bebek Serundeng anyone? I always like that fragrant fried shredded coconut. What's better, it is served with 4 kinds of chili sauce (sambal merah, sambal terasi, sambal cabe hijau, and sambal matah).

Mie Kocok - Rp 22.000

Kind of missed Mie Kocok at the moment, so I ordered one. It's delicious and has a nice aroma. I like to drizzled it with lime juice for a bit of tangy taste. Downside is their Mie Kocok is too oily that it left on my mouth every time I ate it. 

Chatuchak - Rp 25.000

And my food venture today is ended with a nice dessert from Chatuchak. They are serving ice cream in a coconut shell, which placed on top of a coconut water filled plastic glass. You can choose 2 scoops, between durian, strawberry or coconut ice cream. And 3 kinds of topping to chose from grassjelly, corn flakes, nata de coco, pocky, mochi, koko krunch. Since their signature is coconut, I tried their coconut and strawberry. Have to say I like it yeah!

Depot Nasi Campur Pojok Tambak Bayan @ Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta

Helloo Jakarta... Boy, I'm really amazed with Pantai Indah Kapuk area. There're plenty of cafe and restaurants along the way. And from Surabaya to Jakarta, there it is, Depot Nasi Campur Tambak Bayan. This restaurant is serving Indonesian food.

Come in Moment :D

Got there during lunch time, and it's fully packed. There are 2 rooms separated, with air con and without one. I got table in non air conditioned room at first, and it's soooo soooo hot. Luckily just a while after our food served, there're guests who finished eating. Yay! AIR CON... I'm chillin and enjoying every spoon of my lunch happily.

Nasi Campur - Rp 38.000

Mandatory to its name, you ought to try their specialty, Nasi Campur. It is served with fried chili chicken, beancurd in coconut sauce, sauteed spicy vermicelli, half sweet boiled egg, and sambal goreng. If you like spicy food, this is for you. Plus, stir in their chili sauce for an extra SPICY kick.

For a non spicy choice, they have Nasi Kuning. It's a fragrant yellow rice served with fried chicken, beef jerky, beef floss, omelette, caramelized tempe and peanuts, and fried coconut shred (serundeng). Everything is cooked and seasoned nicely. I just enjoy every spoonful I had.

Sate Babi @ Rp 10.000

Had this nice side dish too, Sate Babi (aka pork satay). It's sweetly seasoned, nicely grilled and well matched with the spiciness of Nasi Campur.

Nasi Kuning - Rp 36.000

For a non spicy choice, they served Nasi Kuning. It's a fragrant yellow rice served with fried chicken, beef jerky, beef floss, omelette, caramelized tempe and peanuts, and fried coconut shreds (serundeng). Everything is cooked and seasoned nicely. I just enjoy every spoonful i had.

Nasi Putih + Rawon - Rp 40.000; Telur Asin - Rp 6.000 (half) 

What makes a Nasi Rawon delicious is the broth. It has to be a rich, flavorful beef stock with just the right amount of spices. The black color comes from 'kluwek', a type of spice that gives some kind of a herbal and rich aroma. I like how the beef cuts are tender and succulent.

Es Cincau Ijo - Rp 15.000

Had this good, refreshing Es Cincau Ijo for the hot day in Jakarta.

If you're looking for a quick and delicious lunch or dinner, Depot Nasi Campur Pojok Tambak Bayan is surely a restaurant to go to.
