The most wanted coffee shop of this month, Toby's Estate Coffee! Finally they just opened for the first time in Indonesia. Joining the coffee shop's hype in the north of Jakarta, Toby's Estate is occupying a place in PIK Avenue lobby. The strategic place with superb vibe and ambiance will make you falling in love when the first time you hit this place. The first thing I noticed about this place was the huge coffee bar setup with 3 beasts espresso machine! They put two Spirit Duette with double groups each back to back, one for the take away counter and another for the dine-in counter. Those coffee bar was very fancy yet so good looking with the Mazzer Major grinder was aside on each espresso machine. If it's not cool enough, they also put one espresso machine which is the very first ever in Indonesia, Mavam Espresso machine (will update for the Mavam pict). As the even started, Mr. Imron J. Kusuma gave a warm welcoming speech to the audience and continued with Tob...

A few days ago finally I had free time to enjoy Kelapa Gading. At one point there's one coffee shop that made me quite curious from they have open from day one and that was Homebound Coffee . Those yellow door in front of the house was the trademark. Entering through this door, you will find only a few table and chair inside. BUT, a warm welcome by the owner made this tiny yet cozy place seems special. Personally for me, this place already made a good impression. Nice place without good coffee isn't what we are looking for. So how about this place? Let's find out. Using R58 Rocket Espresso  machine for this cafe and its already enough to perform well to run the show. They are using blend from Jack Runner Roastery (totally forgot what inside) to serve our coffee based. Thanks to Mr. Syarif Wahyudi for gave me a free espresso (20k) to try! Yep! It was pretty good with mid-body and bittersweet aftertaste. From the manual brew  (35k) sections they offered me several of loca...

After eyeing one of Indonesian coffee experts on Instagram, NORD finally opened its door yesterday on 8 September. Been looking for their super eye-catchy espresso machine and I thought it gonna be awesome. So today I had time to visit this coffee shop, located in Muara Karang, you can find this just behind the Superindo (supermarket) building. A monochrome nuance feels so dominant inside this place. Black bold marbles for the bar tables where's the coated  Black Eagle Victor Arduino installed and pair of Mythos One on the side. It's simply coffee shop goals for me! There are 2 spots for sipping your coffee, the outdoor area is fit for 6 people where the indoor area fit for 10. It wasn't quite big at all but they have great ambiance for a petite coffee shop! Like those sipping spot on the pict above, it might be a top spot for taking photo. So basically they will got you with coffee, some tea and other beverages. Start with the espresso (25k) , I'm not a typical bold...

Couple of weeks ago we had another wonderful dinner with family and friends. We've been scheduled our visit to Saine Daise Bistro at Pantai Indah Kapuk (Jakarta Utara). Stalking to their IG account we found out there were plenty of eye-catchy dish that we might want to try! So it doesn't took so long for us to order our target. The interior of this bistro was magnificent! Classy yet exclusive atmosphere felt so nice with monochrome - gold tone surround it. The details look incredible and it makes such a pleasing view. Spent a high quality night with great experiences both for food and ambiance! We all start with Honey Glazed Chicken Wing (45k) and  Calamari with Shrimp Paste Mayo Dip (55k) , a simple light bites before satisfying our tummy with main course. For me it has decent taste and just nice as an appetizer. Honey Glazed Chicken Wing (45k) Calamari with Shrimp Paste Mayo Dip (55k) Their pasta menu definitely is in our must-try list! We both agreed Ami Ebi Angel Hair (8...
