Signature Coffee & Grill Jakarta

Signature Coffee and Grill is located at Kemang, a super commercial area and culinary center in Jakarta. Signature is established since November 2013 and consists of 3 floors. The red door with design "red telephone box" typical London is a characteristic of Signature from outside of the café. Good news for coffee lovers! Signature is a very cozy place and unique. Besides selling coffees with premium quality at affordable price, Signature is also providing another delicious menu for the customers! Specifically grilled dishes that are really complete and absolutely yum!


"Good Coffee Makes Good Life" is the motto of Signature. In accordance with their motto, Signature comes for coffee lovers as the best choice with their 100% premium Arabica beans that are originally produced from 7 regions in Indonesia. Such as Aceh Takengon, Bali Kintamani, Flores Bajawa, Java Malabar, Mandailing, Papua Wamena, and Toraja Sapan which each of them has their own characteristic. And yesssshhh! The coffee in here always served in extremely fresh, specially roasted daily in shop.


One of the proofs of the high quality Signature Coffee and Grill can be seen from the extraction technique by using Espresso Mirage "Van Der Westen" machine from Netherlands, as well as brewing manual tools such as Syphon, Hario V60, Clever Chemex, and French Fresh. Cold brew is worth a trying, because the technical presentation of Signature's coffee always shows on the table. The other drinks that are worth trying are Frappe (blended coffee), Milk Shake, Green Tea Latte, Herbal Tea, and Fresh Juice.


Grilled dishes are the second characteristic of Signature, after the coffee. Incredibly unique combination between the coffee and the grilled dish, due both of them actually fit in and taste great! Another uniqueness is located at one of the grilled dishes that named "Grilled Steak with Spicy Rendang". This menu presents due to the boredom of the steak sauce which is very common and nothing else. Signature becomes the first in presenting the Indonesian taste with rendang sauce on the steak menu.


Furthermore, another harmony fusion between coffee and grilled dish presents in the menu "Rubbed Burger", where the taste of coffee will pop out when munching the grilled patty of the burger. Beside the grilled menu, Signature also has variant starter menu, salad, pasta, soup, Indonesian food, and absolutely......the best desserts! My favourite one is the Chocolate Melt Cake, with its delectable melting chocolate. Yum!!!


Signature is under management of Rayyan Global Investama Limited Liability Company and was founded by some young entrepreneurs. They are Muhammad Assad, Edwyn Rahmat, Riefki Murdhanny, Dini Adnan, Didith Noerdiansyah, and Wimbar. Currently, Signature has two branches  that are located at Grand Slipi Tower and Kemang.

Sop Kaki Kambing Bang Udin Yogyakarta

So many people are asking me to write more about street foods, including my brother. Well.. I'd like to present you this one. My sister and I really love this street food, it is Sop Kaki Kambing which is located at Cik Ditiro Street Yogyakarta. Sop Kaki Kambing is a characteristic food from Tanah Abang, Jakarta. Not only mutton leg soup which is provided in here, but also bone marrow, tongue, ribeye, lung, ear, and many more!



Sop Kaki Kambing Bang Udin was established since 1996. Firstly, it was established in Jakarta. The owner thought that they had to move to another town. Yup, they made it. They moved to Yogyakarta and made this street food became one of the most favourite street foods in here! Now they have a lot of branches which are located at C.

The price is not fixed, it depends on how many mutton that you picked. This one costs IDR 45K, plus IDR 3K for the steamed rice. Some people thinks that it is sort of pricy for street food. But I think it worth the price due the portion is quite big and delicious!

Donat Kentang Ibu Pina Yogyakarta (Potato Doughnut Mrs. Pina Yogyakarta)

Another post about street snack! Potato doughnuts and fried potato bread that have really soft texture and tasty are provided in this stall! You can easily find them at Nusa Indah Street No. 162 Condong Catur, Yogyakarta. That is a super strategic area that closes to 3 universities, such as Economics Department of UII, Stmik Amikom, and UPN. What's that special thing about this street snacks that made by Mrs. Pina? I've ever found the other potato doughnuts, but they were too sweet, hard, and dry. But these potato doughnuts are slightly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They're very tasty!




There are 3 flavours of potato doughnuts in here, such as potato doughnut sprinkled with refined sugar, topped with chocolate jimmies (sprinkles), and topped with grated cheese. The price is IDR 1K per doughnut that sprinkled with refined sugar. And the price is IDR 1,5K per doughnut that topped with chocolate jimmies (sprinkles) and grated cheese. Furthermore, the fried potato breads are awesome as well! They're crispy on the outside, soft in the inside, with 4 flavours of the filling such as chocolate, chocolate cheese, pineapple, and srikaya. The price is IDR 2,5K per bread. After having a lil' conversation with Mrs. Pina, now I know why they are very delicious. Mrs. Pina only uses good and qualifies ingredients for the doughnut and bread. Firstly, she gives the doughnut or the bread to her children, if they like it, well.. everyone will like it too! This stall is an home industry, not a franchise stall. I got this recommendation from my bestie, Destri. And I recommend to you guys as well! :D
This stall opens daily, started from 12.00 pm until finished or sold out.

Ketan Susu & Wedang Ronde Mbok' Né - An - Cuk Cabang Kalimalang

Ketan Susu & Wedang Ronde from Mbok' Né - anak - cucu, I've been seeing my friends visited this café lately. This makes me wonder what and why this café is so trending among young people. Finally I can make a visit! They have one main café located at Buaran, one branch located at Kalimalang, and one branch located at Pondok Kopi. My friends suggest me to visit their branch that located at Kalimalang Street. They have large-spacious for the parking area. And I feel so surprised by how comfortable their place is! Besides, it is located closer to my house haha. Well..Take a look!




The café is not large, yet they're really great in managing the dining area. Surely, it feels so comfy and nice to hang out with friends in here! The dining area divided into two parts. Outdoor for the smoking area and indoor for no smoking area. By counting the chairs, I think they can accommodate around 50 customers. This café is always full, my friends said. Glad there's one table still available there!


Here is the menu. It consists of ketan (sticky rice) with 19 variants topping, snacks, and drinks. You have to see at their prices! They're very affordable in Jakarta. Especially they provide air conditioner, Wi-Fi, and plugs! The price range for the food is from IDR 8K until IDR 14K. Meanwhile, the price range for the drink is from IDR 3K until IDR 10K. Furthermore, both waiter and waitress in here are really nice and friendly. They serve really fast though lots of customers in this café. Many thumbs up! :D


Ketan Telur Kornet Keju
I am so starving. I really need to be injected with savoury food! Thus, I choose this one. Sticky rice topped with corned beef, fried egg, grated cheese, and chili sauce. Moreover, the food is served in little wok. But don't think you won't feel full due to the little portion, you will! I can guarantee it by myself. Because I've experienced it on my own hahaha! Actually the reason is they serve the sticky rice with perfect density. This food may look simple, but it tastes really delicious! Love this! The price of a portion Ketan Telur Kornet Keju is IDR 14K.


Ketan Durian
A sticky rice topped with durian gravy. This food is the most recommended by people. When it comes to the table, first thought in my mind is "ughh..it looks really plain". I am not expecting more from this food. However, when I eat this, MY TOUNGE IS REALLY GOT SPOILT! This food reminds me of Ketan Durian that my grandma used to make for me when I was little. The taste is incredibly same. Can't wait for another visit for this food! The price of a portion Ketan Durian is IDR 14K.


Thai Tea
An iced tea with condensed milk. They're really generous in giving the condensed milk! Nice and lovely drink. The price of a glass Thai Tea is IDR 10K.


Wedang Ronde
A recommended drink in here and also a perfect choice for the rainy day. A drink that made of ginger,will make you feel warm. And those balls are made of sticky rice. It contains sweet mashed peanuts. They serve a really nice Wedang Ronde in here, not too warm, and not too sweet. Definitely will order this drink again when I have another visit! The price of a bowl Wedang Ronde is IDR 10K.


Mega Mendung
I thought it is a name of a traditional drink! Haha it is actually a soft drink with condensed milk. As I said above, they're really generous in giving the condensed milk. You can choose the soft drink between cola and fanta. Tastes fresh and sweet! The price of a glass Mega Mendung is IDR 7K.


Susu Jahe Gula Merah
Again, a good drink for these rainy days lately. A cup of hot milk that given ginger and brown sugar. Tastes good, warm, and sweet! The price of a glass Susu Jahe Gula Merah is IDR 6K.


Finally we're now in the conclusion. I absolutely recommend you to come here! Beside all of those explanations above, this place is totally nice, comfortable, neat, and clean. Delicious foods and drinks with affordable prices. What more do you want? Directly drive your car/bike to here! :D

Sari Sanjaya Kelapa Gading Jakarta

If you're craving for Palembang foods, but don't know where to go for it. I'll recommend you Sari Sanjaya. Their main restaurant is located at Kelapa Gading. And their branches are located at Alam Sutera, Pondok Aren, Pantai Indah Kapuk, and Karet. Unfortunately, their service is not really good. The waiter and the waitress are not friendly, and sometimes the cashier miscalculates the prices. Maybe due to a lot of customers. However, they serve quite fast. There is large-spacious parking area, but will be very limited in the weekend. My family and I always visit this restaurant every time we miss Palembang. Sari Sanjaya provides all kinds of Palembang foods, from otak otak, pindang, es kacang merah, and cakes! Come on, let's talk about them one by one! :D

Otak-Otak
Otak-otak is a snack that made up of fish meat, tapioca starch, and spices. Served traditionally by wrapping it in banana leaf. In here, the dominant taste is from the fish meat which means that it tastes delicious! And the best companion for otak-otak is spicy peanut sauce!


Pempek
The most well-known dish from Palembang! Pempek is a fried fish cake and served with spicy cuka gravy. Moreover, pempek has similar ingredients with otak-otak which are fish meat and tapioca starch. But it can be steamed as well. Again, the fish meat is dominant! As you can see from the picture, pempek has many variants such as pempek kulit, adaan, kapal selam, lenjer, pastel, and keriting. All of them are superb! Taste so delicious and soft-textured.


Es Kacang Merah
Red beans, shave ice, red syrup, and topped with chocolate condensed milk. YUM! This is a recommended dessert in here, also my mom's favourite! Don't get disappointed by the photos. The red beans are still many more located below that ice haha.


Pindang Patin
I always order this menu when visiting this restaurant. Catfish served with spicy, sweet and sour gravy. Sliced pineapple, tomatoes, and basil which make this food taste incredibly delectable! You can choose one among the three parts of the catfish such as the head, the body, or the tail. I choose the body and the meat is so juicy! Eat this with steamed rice and it will be called heaven! :D


I am sorry there's no price information in this post. I take the photos of the all pages in the menu. I thought the prices were written in there. But I was wrong. My bad -_-
I promise that I will re-write this post as soon as I get the price information!

Nasi Uduk Ayam Goreng Mat Lengket Jakarta

I always fall in love to Indonesian foods. One of them is nasi uduk. I highly recommend you to visit "Nasi Uduk Ayam Goreng Mat Lengket" that has been established since 1973. This restaurant has been my favourite since 9 years ago and the taste has never changed! Why is it named Mat Lengket? First, I thought it is the name of the owner. But I was wrong. It is actually the father's name of the owner, Mrs. Lili Sutinah. The place and how they serve the customers are still same. No special facilities like air conditioner, wifi, nor plugs. Only clean and friendly atmosphere. But the mouth-watering fried chicken is worth it, right? :D The space of the restaurant is quite large. I bet it can accommodate around 80 customers. Though so many chairs available, this restaurant is always full. Well..let's talk about the food haha. Uduk rice is a characteristic food from Betawi. It is a steamed rice that cooked with coconut milk. And a perfect companion of uduk rice is fried chicken. However, not only fried chicken that is served in here, but also stewed dogfruit, stink bean, fried chicken liver, fried chicken gizzard, and many more. But you have to come earlier to get the delicious fried chicken liver and gizzard! Moreover, the service is nice and super quick! :D


Here is the menu. The prices are pretty affordable in my opinion. Don't you think so?


This is it! The most delicious fried chicken that I've ever had! Eat it while warm with uduk rice, sambal, sliced cucumber, and fried onions. It tastes incredibly yuuuuummm! What more can I say? The chicken is fried with the secret recipe which makes it so soft and tasty. Their signature sambal makes it even more better! It is a lil' bit sweet, thus for those who can't stand for spicy food, you can eat the uduk rice along with the sambal.


Most customers order this orange juice, including me and my family. We very love it! Unlike the other restaurants who add more water to the squeezed orange, this restaurant served the original one with no additional water. This makes it tastes soooo orange and sweet! You gotta love it! :D

Nanny's Pavillon Yogyakarta

This saturday night I am going to a new shopping mall in Yogyakarta, namely Jogja City Mall. My bestfriend Risky, her sister Naya, and I finally decide to have a dinner at Nanny's Pavillon. Why is it named Nanny? Yep you're right. The concept of this restaurant is about a Nanny who lives in a happy family at a beautiful and splendid village named St. Rémy in Proverence, specifically located at north Alpilles mountain range. Nanny knows really well how to serve delicious foods that made by fresh ingredients. Nanny also very good at decorating the dining table with decent table runner, Peony flower with pink colour, and clean eating utensils. Nanny's Pavillon has different theme for each restaurant. In here, the theme is library as you can see on the photo below. Why library? I read the news which informed that library is chosen due Yogyakarta is known for student city. The capacity of this restaurant is 105 people. The dining area is separated into two parts, the indoor and the outdoor. Moreover, there's Wi-Fi! Well..let's start to decide which food for our dinner. Nanny's Pavillon has salad, lite bite, pasta, grilled, baked rice, milkshake, coffee, and many more. But don't be confused, all of recommended menus got a Nanny's picture on it!




Melisa's Hazelnut Coffee
I don't like coffee actually. But this one is different! The taste is not bitter, but not sweet either. The coffee is not too strong. And I do loooove the caramel topping and the fluffy texture! I am thrilled to finally find the perfect coffee for myself! But if you want the sweeter taste or bold taste of coffee, you can ask the waiter for it. The price of a glass Melisa's Hazelnut Coffee is IDR 29K (before the tax and service).


Cookies and Cream Milkshake
This one is stunning as well. Perfect combination among cookies, cream, and milk which are blended simultaneously. It is not overwhelming of sweetness. You're gonna love it like the way I do! The price of a glass Cookies and Cream Milkshake is IDR 29K. A big glass is worth the price, right? :D


Cecile's Salmon Baked Rice
Baked rice topped with grilled salmon, cream, mozzarella cheese, sautéed onion, butter, and tartar sauce. Can you imagine how delicious it is? All of them perfect cooked and tastes sooooo fantastic. Melted nicely in my mouth. The price of one portion Cecile's Salmon Baked Rice is IDR 48K (before the tax and service). Though there's no nanny's picture on this menu (nanny's picture marks the recommended menus), the taste is unbeatable as well! Served in very big portion, no wonder the price is IDR 48K.


Kim's Tuna with Rice
Baked rice topped with tuna, white sauce, and melted mozzarella cheese. This one is one of recommended menus in here. Amazing and memorable taste! Less seasoned and no MSG make the food yum just the way it is! The price of one portion Kim's Tuna with Rice is IDR 45K (before the tax and service).

Cecile's Grilled Salmon
The last but not the least, my fav menu in here! Grilled salmon, asparagus, and baby potatoes. You can choose mashed potato, french fries, or baby potatoes as the carbo. Unfortunately there's no mashed potato at this time, thus I choose the baby potatoes instead. Not disappointing at all, the baby potatoes are sautéed nicely, a lil bit salty on the outside but very soft on the inside. The grilled salmon wins everything! The portion is quite generous. The taste is super excellent. Less seasoned, crispy on the outside and so juicy on the inside. The price of one portion Cecile's Grilled Salmon is IDR 78K (before the tax and service).


And oh! Nanny's Pavillon loves to hold cooking class!

Hakata Ikkousha Yogyakarta

This time my bestfriend Nadya, her boyfriend, and I are visiting the most delicious ramen restaurant in town! Yes, it is Hakata Ikkousha! Hakata Ikkousha is a ramen restaurant that has been established 40 years ago at Fukuoka, Japan. Hakata itself is a name of city that well-known for the variety of its culinary. However, the seasoning of the foods is quite different in Indonesia, because it needs to be adjusted with the taste of Indonesians. The official branch of this restaurant is located at Jakarta. Here in Yogyakarta, Hakata Ikkousha in a restaurant franchise. Thus, you'll find many different things such as no pork provided and yes it is halal!


The restaurant is quite large-spacious. The dining area located at the first and the second floor. The decoration and the ambiance are sooo Japan! Even the music that played in here is Japanese song as well! The waitresses are really fast in servicing the customers. Furthermore, the restaurant is clean and neat. Not only ramen that is served in here. But also gouhan (rice), donmono, hot plate, porridge, and ippinmono (ala carte menu). Good news is plugs and Wi-Fi provided as well! :D



Mango Juice
The mango juice in here isn't as I expected. I'm sorry to say that this is a lil' disappointment. The mango juice is very thin and watery. However, the taste is nice and refreshing! The price of a glass Mango Juice is IDR 14.800

Cold Ocha
Who doesn't know that ocha is a healthy drink that high antioxidant. And oh! Ocha also can help you to get your ideal weight! Once you order the ocha in here, you can refill it as much as you like for IDR 12.000 :D

Iced Milo
A yummy drink that fits every food! They serve a quite thick and strong Milo flavour in here. So loveable!  The price of one glass Iced Milo is IDR 16.000


Ramen Ayam Spesial (Special Chicken Ramen)
This menu consists of small noodles, mushrooms, boiled egg, tori chashu, sprinkled with chopped onion leaves and sesame seeds. There's a hint of chicken broth in the gravy. Tastes nice, but not too strong. The tori chashu tastes damn good and tender! The colour of the egg yolk is very orange due it is rich of omega-3 and less cholesterol. Super healthy and served in a big bowl! Slurrrrrp! The price of one bowl Ramen Ayam Spesial is IDR 59.700


Ramen Ayam Syou Tamtam
The composition of this menu is quite similar with the menu above, such as: small noodles, mushrooms,  boiled egg, chicken chashu, and sprinkled with chopped onion leaves and sesame seeds. What makes it different is the gravy and the topping. The gravy tastes less strong, but the topping tastes......surprisingly delicious! The topping is tamtam that made of minced chicken, minced cakalang fish, and red oil. Yum, spicy, and yum! So memorable taste! The price of one bowl Ramen Ayam Syou Tamtam is IDR 62.700


Ramen Ayam Kari (Chicken Curry Ramen)
The last but not the least, this is my fav menu! The composition is almost similar, such as: mushrooms, boiled egg, chicken chashu, and sprinkled with chopped onion leaves and sesame seeds. But in here, they're using curly noodles. The gravy is quite thick and tastes astoundingly yum! The curry gravy isn't a bold taste, it is mediocre actually, but that is perfection! I love it! The price of one bowl Ramen Ayam Kari is IDR 62.700
