DOPPIOCOFFEE

Welcoming...'Doppio Coffee' as a new coffee shop in Monginsidi area nearby Senopati area.:) Besides 'Kanawa Coffee', I have to say this is my new favourite coffee shop in Senopati area! It's easy to find out, just driving slowly before KFC Gunawarman and you'll find 'Doppio Coffee' at Bintara Building on the right side.  Love the ambiance with good natural lighting, high ceiling, some long wooden tables and enough capacity. :) The other plus point is quite easy to find a parking spot here.

Hot Cappucinno IDR 40.000,-

Loved their cappuccino as it was strong espresso with good ratio of milk and foam. You can enjoy it with one piece of cookie as the companion.

Doppio Cube IDR 45.000,-

Coffee ice cube poured with fresh milk. It works simply well when the fresh milk blends well with the bitterness of the coffee ice cubes. 

Hot Green Tea Latte IDR 40.000,-

It was too milky than green tea flavour in my opinion, but still alright. Love the sweetness.:D

Brownies Oreo IDR 28.000,-

Fluffy rich chocolate, oreo and nut in one slice of brownie . Very rich but tempting. One bite and I was hooked. It was very nice when I mixed it with my cappuccino. LOVE it! :)

I think 'DoppioCoffee' is a nice addition for coffee lovers in Senopati area. It is like your neighbourhood coffee shop, where you can just drop by before or after work to have a sip of good coffee, while also having some quick bites of foods and desserts from their menu.:)

LUMPANG EMAS

Indonesian food is always on my list and never get bored with Indonesian food because the flavours are unique with a wide variety of condiments. I was excited when I read the reviews that this place seems to promise a delightful dining experience with Indonesian style.

'Lumpang Emas' has been established since 2013 and it's a part of UMARA Gruop. 'Lumpang Emas' has two outlets, they're in Panglima Polim area and Kemang area. At the time, I've visited an outlet in Kemang area. It's easy to find out because it's located on the second floor of  Colony Building. At the time of my visit was after the lunch hour, so only two tables occupied. They don't provide many options on the menu list, so I chose "Nasi Lombok" and a MUST ordered "Nasi Umara" as the best seller here. :) 

Nasi Lombok IDR 58.000,-
( Nasi Daun Jeruk, Daging Suwir Age,  Kacang Seset, Perkedel Jagung, Sayur Daun Singkong, and Sambal Lombok )







Nasi Campur Umara IDR 68.000,-
( Nasi Daun Jeruk, Ayam Singgang, Lidah Cabe Hijau, Paru Asam Manis, Telur Sambel Seset, Daun Singkong, and Sambal Bawang )

Both of "Nasi Umara" and "Nasi Lombok" came with "Nasi Daun Jeruk" and a lot of different "lauk" around it, said it served was delicious, bold-flavoured Indonesian food and decently priced. The staff were lovely, good responsiveness and very attentive

Overall....Love this place! The food was so flavorful and you just keep wanting more. :)

ARAI BAKESHOP & BRUNCH

If you find a tiny cozy place in south Jakarta area has been generally, even you can find a tiny spot with a separate toilet outside of the building.  That's why I always impressed with many tiny places in south Jakarta because you don't need a big space to make a cozy cafe.:D It just depends on how creative you design and decorate the place. 

A lil bit of surprise, when I've found a tiny 'ARAI Bakeshop" in Kelapa Gading area from Instagram, I was immediately curious with this place. Yes, when I first saw from outside, it's a tiny cute place with capacity approximately for five - six persons. You just need to be slowly because you could easily miss when passing this petite bakeshop, guys! 'ARAI Bakeshop'  might be petite but I won't use the word "cute" to describe it because I love the ambiance about it, there's something very simply, chic and unique about it. One of the most I liked it also because it's easy to get a nice photos with a bright natural lighting and white dominant. But, it would be a good idea if they replace the white tiles to polished concrete flooring like gray or charcoal colour.:) 

Cookies IDR 13.500,-

Fresh baked cookies are available here. They have some variety : Cornflakes marshmallow, sugar confetti and matcha white chocolate. Pick up your favourite one!;) 

Iced Chai Tea Latte IDR 25.000,-

Chai is a term used to refer to black tea throughout South Asia. In India, the word chai tends to mean a black tea blended with a mixture of warm spices like cardamom and cinnamon. In the Western world, chai has come to mean a beverage spiced with the warm spices found in the Indian version of the tea. Yes, I'm a BIG fan on 'Masala Indian Tea', so i've tried this 'Iced Chai Thai Latte' at the time, basically it's pretty good but I thought that too much ice inside became a lil bit tasteless, so next time I prefer the 'Hot Chai Thai Latte.'

Chicken Ginger Rice IDR 35.000,-

Here they don't serve many variety of main courses, they just provide breakfast and brunch menus like 'Arai Breakfast' (toasted whole wheat bread with sauteed chicken basil, mushroom, spinach and sunny fried egg), 'Chicken Ginger Rice', 'Spaghetti Classic Tomato Sauce' (spaghetti with homemade fresh garlic tomato sauce and smoked beef). 

At the moment I've tried their 'Chicken Ginger Rice', it's sauteed chicken breast in ginger and cumin sauce, they served it with warm rice and put sunny fried egg on the top. I feel that 'Chicken Ginger Rice' has done a good job creating a brunch menu that offers a good taste, worthy portion and affordable price.;)

Chocolate Swiss Roll IDR 15.000,-

If you just craving for light bites like cookies and cakes, this 'Chocolate Swiss Roll' could be a good option for you. It's similar with chiffon cake texture, light, soft, and balance sweetness with whipped cream inside. Actually the roll cakes available in two versions, another one is 'Matcha Swiss Rolls', but please be noted that Matcha only available on Thursday until Sunday. So, hopefully I could try 

Matcha Rolls on another day.;) 

Overall, I just can say that you don't need a big space for having an intimate catch up. A petite 'ARAI Bakeshop & Brunch' could be another good option, guys! PS...I thought that the owner of 'ARAI Bakeshop & Brunch' have a GOOD sense of photograph, I REALLY LOVE all the feeds on their Instagram.:) :) :) LOVE the simplicity and white dominant.

SINSA RAMYUN

An eye-catching yellow ramyun eatery is in the town! This is "SINSA RAMYUN", another ramyun eatery that serving Korean instant noodle. They have two outlets at Muara Karang and Kemang area. Both outlets are just the same but Muara Karang outlet serves Pork and Kemang outlet serves no pork and no lard.

About few weeks ago, i've visited at Kemang area. The place is quite easy to find, just next to "LIN Artisan Ice Cream" and actually that's an old place that has been transformed from burger eatery to ramyun eatery. Kemang outlet has a spacious place and supported with live music performed on the weekend.

Mango Blended IDR 38.000,-

Sorry for bad lighting, but trust me this is highly recommended to order! Huge size to share and tasty mango blended with milk. So worthy to try, guys! YUMMMM...THANKS for refreshing my day off.:) 

Galbi Ramyun Dry with Beef Ribs IDR 54.000,-

I love this dry version of Korean ramyun with melting yolk and beef ribs. It has a nice elastic texture of Korean noodle and the toppings really made the combined flavors popping in my mouth. Just added the chili sauce to make it more enjoyable.:)

Galbi Ramyun Soup with Sliced Beef IDR 54.000,-

Additional Cheese IDR 10.000,-

This one is instant noodle topped with sliced beef in beef flavor soup and we added melted cheese on the top. But, It's out of my expectation, because I couldn't taste that cheese, it's quickly dissolved inside the soup.:( 

Overall it's a good place if you're craving for Korean instant noodle in a small portion!:D Delicious bowl of Ramyun, cold beer and live music is a perfect combo to enjoy your weekend at "SINSA RAMYUN - KEMANG."
