Mr. Pancake Yogyakarta

Mr. Pancake is located at Plaza Ambarrukmo 3rd floor unit B 28 - 30. This restaurant always attracts my attention every time I pass it. And I heard from my friends that Mr. Pancake has the most delicious pancake in town. Finally I have a chance to spend my lunch in here with my friends. From the first step we feel like in home. The decoration and the orange lightning make us feel so comfortable even though this restaurant is not large-spacious. Furthermore, the waiter and the waitress are so friendly and quick in servicing the customers. The restaurant is also clean and neat. But this time we're not gonna order the sweet pancake, we're trying other menus. :D

Iced Lychee Tea

This drink got a fav label on the menu and I feel tempted to try it. The taste is nice, fresh, and a little bit too sweet. But that's okay. There are two lychee chunks in it as well. The price of a glass Iced Lychee Tea is IDR 28K before the tax.

Violeta Marshmallow

I'd like to apologize due I forget to ask the waitress about the ingredients of this drink hehe. But there is a hint of banana in it. It is thick, creamy texture, smooth, and almost similar with berry smoothies. Thus you will easily feel full if you order this. The taste is good, fresh, and sweet. The price of a glass Violeta Marshmallow is IDR 28K before the tax.

Burger Steak

Burger Steak consists of minced beef in burger style served with egg, rice, and veggies. Actually it is served with french fries, but my friend changes it with steamed rice because she is so starving haha. The patty is really tender and yum, and the sauce makes it even more delicious! The veggies are cooked well, but still fresh and the crunchy. The price of one portion Burger Steak is IDR 40K before the tax.

Chicken Roll

This menu consists of chopped chicken rolled with puff pastry, served with salad in thailand dressing. It tastes delicious as well. Really soft textured in every bite. And the price of one portion Chicken Roll is IDR 35K.

Double Decker
This one is my fav! I'm gonna back to Mr. Pancake just for this Double Decker! :D

Double Decker is a pancake that served with dori fish, sliced onion, cheese, tomato, kyuri, premium mayonnaise, and french fries. The portion is really big and I feel so satisfied! The dori fish is crunchy outside, and so juicy inside. I highly recommend you to try this. The price of one portion Double Decker is IDR 31K before the tax.

Nachos

Nachos in here consists of fried mexican tortilla chips that served with melted cheese, minced beef sauce and salsa sauce. Fav menu for hang out with your friends! The taste is scrumptious! The mexican tortilla chips fried well and it makes the chips into a perfect crispy textured. The price of one portion Nachos is IDR 27K before the tax.

Yep we have arrived to the conclusion. This restaurant is highly recommended. The portion of the foods are really big. Though many people said that the price is too expensive. But I can say that the price is pretty decent if we look from the homey decoration, friendly waiter and waitress, quick in service, big portion of delicious foods, and the fast Wi-Fi! Haha

Soerabi Bandung Enhaii & Batagor Ihsan Rawamangun Jakarta

This restaurant is a combination of two famous street foods in Bandung, namely Soerabi Enhaii and Batagor Ihsan. For those who live in Jakarta and craving for these foods, just come to Pemuda Street No. 18, East Jakarta. This restaurant is large-spacious and have separated area between smoking area and non-smoking area. The parking area for car and bike is large as well. They have nice and friendly atmosphere, such a good place for hang out with friends. Well what is Soerabi (or we can say serabi) actually? It is look like pancake but smaller and made from rice flour with coconut milk. Soerabi Enhaii has many variants of Serabi, from the sweet until the savoury flavours. This time I am gonna try the two of their recommended menus.

Soerabi Durian Keju

A serabi that poured with durian gravy and topped with grated cheese. The size of the serabi is really small, but the durian gravy and grated cheese are pretty generous. The gravy is really durian and so thick. I loooooove it! No wonder why people really recommend this menu! The price of one plate Soerabi Durian Keju is IDR 22K.

Soerabi Oreo Es Krim

This one is a serabi that given crumbled oreo and topped with ice cream. There are many flavours of the ice cream and I choose the vanilla one. Haha I am sorry for the melted ice cream in the photo. But the taste is good, sweet, but not too sweet. The small portion is perfect in order to avoid the overwhelmed of the sweetness! The price of one portion Soerabi Oreo Es Krim is IDR 22K.

Batagor

Batagor is one of traditional foods from Indonesia. Actually it is fried fish dumplings poured with peanut sauce. Then what makes this one different? Ah I can taste the hint of orange leaf in the peanut sauce! Yep the orange leaf makes the peanut sauce sooooo appetizing! The fried fish dumplings are fried well and moist on the inside. You must try! The price of one portion Batagor is IDR 19K.

Teh Tarik

Why is it named Teh Tarik? This tea is different in the pouring process of pulling the tea. Haha it is quite hard to explain. It consists of black tea and milk that mixed in the pouring process. The taste is okay, but not really surprising me. The price of one glass Teh Tarik is IDR 15K.

Here is the look of the non smoking area.

Overall I can say that this restaurant is recommended! I will have another visit to taste the savoury serabi. I get obsessed to visit their actual stall in Bandung as well. Hope I will have a chance to make it true! :D

Eat, Art, Loud - Grand Indonesia

Eat, Art, Loud "Brick City" is the theme of I love Bazaar Jakarta event that held on the second October until the fifth October at level 5 west mall Grand Indonesia. There are more than 100 F&B, arts, home living, toys, accessories, gifts and knick-knacks. When culinary meets art, what happens next is PERFECTION. This event is totally different with the others. The tenants are different and unique. At the first, I thought it would be ordinary and boring. But my assumption is countered with what they have in there! The foods' taste are amazing, the unique stuffs, and guess what? They have many workshops with talented and popular people! And all of them are FREE!

I come to this event on Saturday. I get very confused to decide which one that I want to buy. Okay let's start from my first meal. The name is Geram. A burger that topped with crunchy ramen bun! Unique and tasty! Appropriate with their motto which is "FURIOUSLY DELICIOUS!!!". The price of one Geram is IDR 30K.

The second is Soto Mie from Ibu Dara. The price is IDR 45K. I get very shocked with the price actually. But the taste is super WOW! You're not gonna believe it! The gravy is quite thick and delicious! You won't find another Soto Mie that is more delicious than this one! Moreover, they're super generous in giving the beef chunks that are really tender. Soto Mie from Ibu Dara is unbeatable!

Here I am joining the food & styling photography workshop with Chef Yuda Bustara and Adha Togi, the food photographer. In this workshop Chef Yuda gives lessons on how styling the food, how to make a "fake" roasted chicken, how to make an ice cream that never melts. Because this workshop is food styling, it means that all of the foods are fake. To make them looked well in the photo, the ice cream that never melts is actually made from butter or mashed potato. The next lesson is how to take a good photo of them that explained by Adha Togi. I feel so happy to attend this workshop because it is quite rare in Jogja hehe.

Another food that I buy is Chef Tony's Popcorn and I do really regret I only buy two. This is the best popcorn that I have ever tasted! I buy the original caramel and mochaccino flavors. The taste is sweet, but not too sweet. Every single popcorn is fresh. And the popcorn is less oily. It's really a tub of happiness! I bet you can't stop munching when you try this popcorn :D

Yi.Kon has the longest queue line! They sell the popular Seoul cane ice cream. What is it? It is stick-shaped corn snack filled with an ice cream. They have various flavors like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry. Then the corn snack also has many shapes such as J shape, V shape, and U shape. The appearance of this ice cream is so catchy and attracting the people's attention. The taste is nice and it is superb healthy because they are only using natural ingredients! The price of one ice cream is IDR 20K.

This is the happiest moment ever! I am joining food marathon 10 kg with the top 13 food bloggers Indonesia! We are given 10 minutes to shop as much as we can with only limited fund. And the biggest obstacle that we face is the crowd in here. I am in the third group with kak Aline, kak Fahmi, and kak Hans. Haha it is totally fun and my team get the second place. Yeaaay we get a lot of gifts and vouchers! As an amateur food blogger, this is a big chance for me to meet them in person and I made it!  They are really humble and I can hardly wait for their coming to Jogjakarta! :D

The next agenda is molecular gastronomy "diy at home" with Chef Ronald Prasanto, the owner of Ron's Laboratory. Chef Ron teaches us how to make dragon breath, a fake avocado coffee, and chocolate mousse. Why I say a fake avocado coffee? Because the fake avocado actually consists of tape, pak choi, cream, coffee, and milk which are blended simultaneously. The texture and the taste is really avocado coffee! Many lessons and experiences shared by Chef Ron. For those who couldn't come today, I am pretty sure you'll feel so sad :p

Chef Tony!!! It's a pleasure to meet you in person, Chef! I am one of your fans now :D

A closing food for this day is lidah lado hijau from Ibu Dara. The price is IDR 55K. The taste doesn't need to be questioned. This is astoundingly delicious! The meat is so tender. The sambal is very scrumptious! It is not like the other sambal. Yes it is spicy, but not only spicy that you can taste. I get very addicted and finish this food really quick! Haha

What more can I say except thank you to I Love Bazaar Jakarta. I am very looking forward to attending the next event! :)

Martabak Casablanca Yogyakarta

Street Food? Why not? I'd like to present you Martabak Casablanca! Located at Seturan Raya Street, across to STIE YKPN. Due to their super strategic location, this place is never really lack of crowd. But don't worry, they provide plenty of plastic chairs for you to wait the martabak. Martabak Casablanca has been established for 2 years. They have 3 stalls. The first one is for sweet flavour of martabak, the second is for the savoury flavour, and the last is for grilled bread. The ordinary martabak stall only sell martabak with cheese, chocolate, and peanut flavours. Martabak Casablanca has something different! They fulfil the teenagers' craving for something new and trendy! Yep, they have nutella, toblerone, caramel, blueberry, strawberry, durian, chunky bar, oreo and ceres. So here's the front look of Martabak Casablanca.

I am sorry for my reflection in this photo haha. Here you can see the menu and the price list of each martabak.

This time I order one martabak with nutella as the topping, one of recommended menus in here. First it is baked on a pan, greased with butter, and the last is the topping. Moreover, the martabak is folded in half and cut into portions. The size of the martabak in here is not too big yet the topping is greased super generously! The price of one martabak with nutella as the topping is IDR 48K. It isn't expensive if I compare to other martabak stalls.

This is the martabak stall for the savoury flavour. As you can see the making process from the photos below, the making process is quite different with the sweet martabak. They use a large frying pan and vegetable oil to sautee the martabak. Savoury martabak consists of egg, chicken meat or beef (depends on what you choose), and mixed vegetables. A plate of hot white rice is just a perfect company for this martabak!

They don't have delivery service right now. But they have plan to reach it one day.

For more information, you can contact them at 081542740014.

Opening Hours : 05.00 pm - 02.00 am

Ron's Laboratory Grand Indonesia

Yep I am joining Treat and Tell Level 5 tenants Grand Indonesia and I choose Ron's Laboratory to be reviewed. Because this cafe is freakishly trending recently! The concept of this cafe is laboratory, as you can see from the unique decoration in the photos. Moreover, the style of making the ice cream is molecular gastronomy, which means that the ice cream and the science itself have a correlation. They make the ice cream by using liquid nitrogen. All of the crews use laboratory uniform, glasses, mask, and hand gloves to make them look like scientists and also for the hygiene of the ice cream. The system for order is you go directly to the cashier, and then the crew will make your gelato. This system makes your gelato is new and fresh! Oh they also have coffee and tea! Furthermore, there will always 2 new menus every month. In order to avoid the long queue line, you should come on weekdays!

Why is it named Ron's Laboratory? Yes, you're right! The name of the owner is Ronald Prasanto. He is the chef in this cafe as well. This cafe is not large-spacious yet not too small either. Unfortunately there is no Wi-Fi, however you can find many plugs under your seat!

The Breakfast

This is one of favourite menus in here. As stated in the menu explanation, The Breakfast is plain base gelato with nutella swirl topped with crunchy cornflakes. I do loveeeeee this one! The taste is really astounding! The combination between plain base gelato and nutella is just perfect. And the crunchy cornflakes totally jazz up the ice cream. I recommend you to choose the chocolate injection. The price of The Breakfast is IDR 60K and the price of chocolate injection is IDR 8K.

Red Velvet

This one is another recommended menu from the crew. Yes it is medium roast chocolate gelato with cream cheese topping injection. The flavour is really rich and sweet. I like the colour of this ice cream. It looks so catchy and nice in the picture! The price of one Red Velvet is IDR 60K and it already includes the cream cheese topping injection.

Cappuccino

Nice look for a coffee! The price of a cup of cappuccino is IDR 29K. I can say that this is a super fine coffee with affordable price and splendid look!

Imissu

Imissu is a combination of coffee gelato, mascarpone cheese, lady finger and choco powder. It is also the newest menu in here! The picture is so tempted and I can't stand to not try this one! And yes, the taste is not disappointing. This coffee gelato is really coffee! I mean the bitter, not too sweet, and the smell. What more can I say? This gelato is super nice! The price of one Imissu is IDR 60K and the price of the chocolate topping injection is IDR 8K.

This is what we've waiting for! The famous dragon breath from Ron's Laboratory! The crew comes and offers us free popcorn that has dragon breath effect. Haha looks really fun, doesn't it?

Here it is, I'd like to present Coto Makassar La Capila for you fellows! Located at Krasak Street No. 05 Kotabaru Yogyakarta. This place is not large-spacious, yet it has never been lack of customers! There's always a queue to get a bowl of Coto Makassar in here. Thus, if you want to avoid the queue line, don't come to here during breakfast and lunch. Haha!

Yep, this is what we're talking about. Coto Makassar! The price of one bowl of Coto Makassar is IDR 11K. Don't you think it's so cheap? Yes! You can find so many restaurants that sell delicious food with affordable price in Yogyakarta! How's the taste? It's unbeatable, however the gravy is too thick if I compare to another coto in Makassar. But that's okay I think.

Here is another famous food in La Capila. Es Pisang Ijo! It's kinda dessert actually. It's a banana that covered by green dough, served with red syrup and ice. The price of one portion Es Pisang Ijo is IDR 6K. The taste is super refreshing, sweet but not too sweet, and it's just perfect!
