This is one of cutest cafés ever! Everything from the branding and the concept was on point. The cafe was actually based on Aranzi Aronzo, a company that makes cute animal characters. The coolest part is that they serve cakes that are shaped like their characters. The interior was colorful and vibrant. They also sell souvenirs for you to take home.

Last year I met Chef Andry Suriaputra and Hokiardi Adhi. Both of them are bringing something new and fresh to their local food culture.I had the privilege of attending their grand opening event and was amazed by their concepts and ideas for burgers. The branding was clean and crisp. I would totally recommend that you check out this spot if you’re ever in Jakarta.

There’s a track that is used as an outdoor restaurant and similar to the food trucks we all have come to know and love in Orlando.

I love burgers! In fact, one of my favorite burger places is Shake Shack. I wish there was one right next door to my office but maybe it’s a good thing there isn’t one — better for my weight and my pocket.

The Burger Trader was fresh and had quality ingredients. The flavor of the meat was juicy and delicious.

came to Sushi Tei with Miss Sunshine for dinner before I left Jakarta.  Lots of people kept recommending that I try this place, saying that the food was really good.

The restaurant and ambiance was nice.  It stayed pretty busy throughout the night.

Kirishima (18 pieces that included tuna, salmon, squid, octopus, boiled scallop, yellow-tail, prawn, eel, sweet beancurd, omellete, scallop innards, tuna salad, crab meat, and mayonnaise with flying fish roe).

I really enjoyed the place and their prices!

Thanks to my colleague and friend, Surin Tan, for inviting us to have tea time while in Jakarta.

This amazing place is located at the East Mall Grand Indonesia and is called “Ninety-Nine Restaurant.”

This is my second time having tea there and it did not disappoint! The restaurant has a luxury, open-garden setup with mosaic tiles and offered fresh baked goods. I wish I could have tea time or meetings there every day.

I started off with fresh coffee and a delicious Dark Cherry Tart and Pistachio Cake.

The quality of the dessert and bakery are great and I really enjoyed every bite. I can’t wait to go back again.

I finally got the chance to experience the famous Ippudo Ramen.I’ve heard a lot about this successful ramen restaurant and that it’s open worldwide.Luckily, while I was at the Pacific Place Mall, trying to find the “I Love Ugly” x Jansport backpack, I was excited to see that Ippudo was nearby and that we’d be going there for dinner.The Ippudo brand was very modern and had some cool manga/deco-inspired pieces.

I loved the art installation and the owners really made this place a mix between modern Western and Eastern cultures.

Since I’m an art person, I tend to always check out a restaurant’s menu and I like to see how each company brands themselves. I find inspiration in branding and marketing. The Ippudo menu is really well-designed with a simple layout.

Let’s chow down! Here’s where we decided to sit.

SALMON SALAD / Freshly diced salmon served with assorted greens and wasabi dressing.

SAIKORO STEAK / Grilled rib eye steak cubes on hot plate served with asparagus, carrots, and broccoli topped with teppan sauce.

SHIROMARU MOTOAJI with Shiromaru Tamago / IPPUDO’s original tonkotsu broth served with ultra thin noodles, pork loin, bean sprouts, kikurage & spring onions. Classic Hakata-style ramen. You can even choose how hard you want your noodles!
