This is not a food review. I repeat. This is not a food review. I will not write about the food because I don't have any photos of it hahaha. Came here many times for lunch because its close to my office and I always order either Buntut Goreng/Bakar or Iga Bakar Sambal Ijo. So many western foods they have but their Iga Bakar Sambal Ijo is da best!

So in this post I only gave you some pictures of the place because every corner of this place is so camera-genic ❤

The famous Iga Bakar Sambal Ijo

Okay so that's all! Short review from me. Really really short. Hahaha. I'm sorry I can't give you food information. Peace!

Minal aidin wal faizin!
Mohon maaf lahir dan batin semua.

Lebaran kemarin aku mudik ke Surabaya, and turns out this city has a lot of growing cafe. Aku dan Helsi nyobain kafe baru di Jalan Pregolan, sebelah persis BonCafe.

NOACH Cafe & Bistro. Pertama masuk, suka banget sama dekornya. Banyak dedaunan, ijo2 seger. Tempatnya 2 lantai. Ada non smoking room, dan smoking room. Sebenernya tertarik kesana gara2 ada meja di dalam semacam sangkar burung gitu. Haha.

Hi Helsi!

 

The famous spot

I'm not going to tell you about the food. Pas kesana kebetulan kami udah makan nasi goreng jadi masih kenyang. Jadi disana cuma minum aja sih sama pesen cemilan. Sorry :( 

Green Tea Latte
IDR 33k

Flavoured Latte
Cafe Latte with Hazelnut
IDR 33k

Flavoured Latte
Cafe Latte with Vanilla
IDR 33k

Green tea latte was good. Pahitnya green tea berasa jadi ga manis banget. Kan kadang suka ada tuh green tea latte tapi manis. Then for the flavoured latte, either vanilla or hazelnut, they taste similar. Hahahaha. All of the latte cost IDR 33k.

Noach Platter
Spinach Mozarella Balls, Tiger Prawn, Simple Salad, Mushroom Crispy, French Fries with Cheese & Thai Chili Sauce
IDR 88k

Dan untuk cemilan kami pesan Noach Platter. Enak sih menurutku. Jamurnya enak, crispy banget. Kentangnya enak. Udangnya enak. Mozarella balls sama saladnya entah, ga nyobain haha. Kalo mau tau menu yang lain, bisa cek di sini.

Overall aku suka sih tempatnya. Harga juga ngga terlalu mahal. Kalo mau cari tempat makan yg instagramable, then you should go here. Lucu banget dekornya. Even the bathroom has a cute decor too!

Ciumbuleuit kayanya lagi gencar2nya menambah resto. Daerah ini diuntungkan dengan letaknya yang tinggi jadi suasana alamnya masih segar dan sejuk. Termasuk Wild Grass Resto ini. Wild Grass letaknya ga jauh dari Miss Bee, sekitar 100 meter saja.

Permesan Pesto Crusted Tenderloin
Juicy Tenderloin Topped with Pesto and Crusted Parmesan Cheese, Served with Sweet Potato, Cinnamon Cream and Mushroom Gravy
IDR 79k
Dagingnya kecil, tulisannya juicy berharap endeus di lidah ternyata biasa aja. Terus yg paling aneh adalah kentang dikasih bubuk cinnamon dimana menurut aku bukan padu padan yg pas. Kentangnya jadi manis. :(

Hawaiian Steak
A Great Cut of Sirloin, Seasoned with Wild Grass Mix Seasoning, served with Grilled Fresh Pineapple, Sunny Side Up Egg and Pineapple Gravy
IDR 79k
Better lah daripada tenderloin sebelumnya, cuman nanas yg dipotong gede terus disajiin gitu aja masih sama kulit2nya jadi agak nyusahin :))

Spicy Miso Salmon
Grilled Miso Marinated Salmon with Mexican Potato Gratin and Corn Flakes Salsa
IDR 95k
Ga ikutan nyobain menu satu ini cuman kata temen aku rasanya ga masuk di lidah, semacam bumbu gado2 haha. Tapi salmonnya enak sih.

Ultimate Burger
Home-made Juicy Beef Patty served with Deep Fried Crispy Orange Cheddar, Grilled Pineapple, Lettuce, Mushroom and Toasted Chili Mayo Burger Bun
IDR 65k
Finally ada makanan yg enak. Ultimate Burgernya the BEST lah! Dagingnya enak. Crispy orange cheddarnya apalagi. Friesnya juga enak, gurih, ga manis kaya yg di tenderloin hahah. Maafkan fotonya fokus ke fries nya bukan ke burgernya.

Tropical Sensation
Sharing Mocktail with Sweet and Sour Taste Mixed with Guava Juice, Mango Juice and Pineapple Juice Topped Up with Soda and Slice of Fruit
IDR 59k (for two)

Lembang Sangria
Sharing Mocktail with Traditional Tea Mixed with Cranberry Juice, Orange Juice Topped Up Soda and Slice of Fruit
IDR 59k (for two)

Setiap minuman sharing tadi dikasih 2 gelas yg berisi potongan buah2an. Baru deh dituang mocktailnya. Nuangnya pake sendok pipih jadi seperti di foto minuman mocktail di atas jadi bayangin aja nuanginnya ke gelas butuh sejam. Lebay.

Chili Choco Lava

A Classic Chocolate Lava Cake with A Hint of Chili served with Ice Cream

IDR 45k

Enak sih! Kirain cokelat pake cabe jadinya aneh. Ternyata enak. Bukan cabe banget sih..jadi makan cokelat sambil ada pedes2nya gitu.

Sebenernya order Sundae Ice Cream juga tapi lupa ga difoto. Ice creamnya enak! Harga cuma 35ribu rupiah udah dapet 3 scoop ice cream dengan variant rasa yg kita pilih sendiri.

IMO, Wild Grass ini sebenernya ingin mencoba memberikan menu unik atau memberikan rasa baru dengan cara memadupadankan bahan-bahan makanan yang biasanya belum pernah dipadupadankan (apa sih ini maksudnya). Ada yg sukses....ada yg fail. Hehehe. Tapi sejujurnya untuk rasa aku lebih pilih resto sebelahnya, Miss Bee. Dari segi porsi juga lebih banyak Miss Bee. Heheee... Walaupun kalau dari sisi desain resto, Wild Grass lebih unik sih, lebih instagramable, lebih cocok buat anak muda untuk hangout. Kalau Miss Bee lebih ke segmen family.

Hi! This is iena and now I’m writing my first post at CIWI CIWI BLOG yeay!

You will find me mostly write about restaurant review because that’s the only thing I’m good at. Eating. Hahaaa..NAH. I just like trying something new including eat at some place I never tried before. :p

So first restaurant I want to write is GAIA by Oso Ristorante. Why GAIA? Because this is the most memorable restaurant I’ve ever come. The ambience, the view, the service... wow, just wow. GAIA is one of 3 in 1 Resto Altitude The Plaza besides Salt Grill and Enmaru. Located at 46th floor The Plaza makes them have an amazing view of Jakarta from above.

When you reach there, you will ask whether you want regular table or windows side table. Regular table has no minimum purchase and no view but limited time (approx. 45 minutes only). Windows side table has Jakarta citylight’s view, no limited time but it cost IDR 1,5 million for minimum purchase.

So which one I choose?

Of course the cheapest one! Hahahaa.......at first. 

But after so many considerations, we choose the windows side one.

*sambil bisikin: ntar bagi dua ya bill-nya... 

Inside GAIA

View from our table

Udah ah cape pake bahasa inggris.

Jadi di GAIA ini selalu punya seasonal menu. Waktu aku kesana, seasonal menu nya adalah Seafood. Akhirnya aku pilih ikan bawal jepang yang harganya IDR 460,000 which is kalau di kantin kantor udah dapet 30 porsi ikan bawal lokal lengkap pake nasi plus sayur. Hiks.

Calamari Fritti

Calamari, Zucchini Chips, Chili Mayo

IDR 150,000

Left:
Bawal Jepang Bakar (lupa nama menu aslinya)
IDR 460,000

Right:
Filetto Wellington Rossini
Tenderloin, Foie Gras, Truffle, Puff Pastry
IDR 580,000

I couldn't remember what drink is but tastes good.

So sorry for bad quality pictures. It was dark there and I only use my smartphone and GoPro.

They served the food quite long that’s why they gave complimentary snacks and a big bottle of water. Really 45 minutes is not enough if you choose the regular table one. I spent almost an hour waiting for the food, I meant the main course. Then after you eat, the chef will go to your table and ask “how was the food?”. Good job GAIA for have your customer being greeted by the chef himself, I was greeted by Diego Chiarini.

Overall, the food was okay but the service, the ambience and the view are excellent! So if you search for a place to have romantic dinner or want to celebrate something special, I recommend you to go here.

Cheers! ^.^
