Ala Ajag Ijig

  

This is new in town.

This restaurant/café located in the central of Jakarta, and it’s located at Jl. Ir. H. Juanda. Very fresh, new, and insist to be looked out.

One fine night, after office hour, my friend and I were trying to find a place to chillin’.

At first we’d like to find place where we can eat ice cream, but our eyes caught this new place, with unique name; Ajag Ijig.

Placed at hoek/corner of the street, designed with mix style such old /street /modern style at once, but after we looked inside, it’s modern but described the town itself.

It served such heavy meals, light bite, with fresh drinks and any usual menu like other restaurants.

Since we’re searched for a light bite, we ordered toast and fried tofu (pong). My friend ordered Nutella toast with café latte while I ordered fried tofu (pong) with mocha latte.

We enjoyed the food they’ve served, with coffee art they’ve done to our coffee. But actually what we’re amazed and enjoyed was the ambience /design that they have. It was so comfortable; in the other side they designed the restaurant with picture of the town mascot. Mascot that we called Ondel—Ondel. It has old-styled floor; Dutch-style floor. This makes the ambience more unique. It also has second floor, but we only used the first floor since the restaurant still has few customers that night.

     

 

I think this place is very nice for simple hang out or chit chat with friend(s) or colleague(s) or maybe family. A new place to hang out! 🙂

A Place called Union

Union.

It’s a place, a café, a restaurant.

It was located on Plaza Senayan Mall, South of Jakarta, Indonesia

I’ve been there several times and again I just falling in love with the decoration, the ambience, the meals, and of course the coffee.

This place is so famous and there’s always a queue for everything, such as to be seated and for the take-home sweets/cakes.

>> The Afternoon Tea.

At the first visit, I came with my fashionable colleagues. We tried the sweets. They called it “The Afternoon Tea”.  They served it at 3 PM and we can only order at that time.

Why it named “Afternoon Tea”?

Because they served assorted sweets with two cups of hot tea.

 

I cannot remember each of the sweets’ name, but I can assure you that this sweets were well-worth

>> The coffee.

Just like any other latte, they served differently with coffee-art.

>> The cake.

We tried their famous cake ever, the red velvet and cheese cake.

It’s soft, rich and bold.

The red velvet was covered with peanuts and served with cream

I cannot describe more about these cakes, but pictures will.

>> The pasta.

Just like any other pastas, their pasta was as good as our expectation.

   

Overall,

This is well worth and I would love to come again and again!

  

Toast the Itoast

A toast will complete your day.

I spent one fine Sunday with a special friend and we took such a cozy place that served toast to end our day.

“ITOAST”

As its name, they served toast and breakfast set also some heavy meals.

It’s located in one of the biggest mall in South Jakarta, Lotte Avenue Shopping Mall.

We both falling in love with its decoration and interior design, though their menu has similarity with others which have same kind of flavor.

The Interior Design.

The decoration was so homey and cozy, make us somehow in home.

The Toast.

We ordered their simple set of toast: a plate of flavor toast and two boiled eggs, completed with a cup of hot tea.

Enjoy your Sunday before Monday!

Enjoying Seafood like Manhattan Way

Serving It Up The Manhattan Way!

 

  

 

Last weekend I ate one of my favorite menu: Fish and Chips.

For this meal me and my friend went to a seafood restaurant in one of the biggest mall in Jakarta, Lotte Avenue Shopping Mall (or LOVE mall), located on the fourth floor near the theatre. The Manhattan Fish Market restaurant.

The restaurant itself wasn’t a new place for me, but I just love the food and the ambience. I love the fish and how it was cooked, the environment always be a bonus for me. Sometimes good food not always covered with a good place, but a good place always served good food. Ha! 😀

Though the restaurant located in many malls, but in each mall it has its own signature, and for this mall, I love the ambience. They created a simple view and decoration yet comfortable.

 

 

Fish and Chips.

Favorite of all-time. The crunchy-floured dory fish and served with fries and sauces. The fish was so soft and crisp. I love how this restaurant made the fish so crisp and delicious. I just can’t explain more how I love the dish!

 

Citrus Baked Seafood.

My friend chose a bowl of rice with a perfect combination. “An assortment of dory fish, baby octopus, and scallops baked with tangy marinade with garden herbs” well said by the menu book. The rice itself was so tasty and you can imagine how good was the combination.

 

To company our meal, we chose a usual beverage: lemon tea and blackcurrant. Well, not only usual and common but also free refill.

Though this restaurant was quite pricey, but I will come to this place again and again. Not only to satisfy my stomach but for the comfortable that I got.

Well worth 🙂
