Three Buns Burger and Cocktails at Senopati Jakarta

November 24th, 2016. This was my first time there. When everybody talked about this place, I wanted to go there too. But everybody said that it’s a really hot place if you went in the afternoon. If you went at night, it’s not good for your photos, right? So, I’ve never been there. Until now. Three Buns.

When I stepped inside, I didn’t feel any heat. I actually felt so comfortable with the place. It’s spacious. It’s like they turned a big garage into a hangout place. Such a creative place, with a semi mezzanine at the back of the place.

Burning Man 95k

Stir-fried rice, 100g aged beef patty, gochujang sauce, scallions, ketchup, dashi mayo, smoked cheddar

It’s a rice bowl version of Burning Man burger. It’s not my favourite. Too sour for me. But the rice and the beef patty with the smoked cheddar had a powerful taste with perfect texture.  For those who loves burning man burger version will definitely in love with this rice bowl.

Korean Clucker 80k

Steamed rice, fried chicken, kimchi, Korean BBQ sauce, fried shallots

I had to admit, the korean BBQ sauce was the winner here. Steamed rice mixed with fried chicken, was just like another ordinary rice bowl. But the sauce was dabomb. The fried chicken was tender and easy to eat. And I love the sunny side up egg. Fried shallots was fragrant and enhanced the flavour it the rice bowl. Recommended.

The Vanilla Guerilla 45k

Dark chocolate brioche bun, vanilla ice cream patty, with hot salted butterscotch sauce

LOVE! The brioche bun was fluffy and soft. The vanilla ice cream was delish. And hot salted butterscotch sauce was the one that make this dessert a perfect dessert. Definitely a keeper!

November 20th, 2016. Before attending an event at Dharmawangsa area, we headed to this coffee shop at Cipete Raya. We talked about this coffee shop long before our date. It was quite far from our place. But, at the day, we thought, we should try the place. It’s not very far from our next venue. SRSLY Coffee.

[SINGAPORE] Joe & Dough at Orchard Gateway Orchard Road Singapore

November 11th, 2016. Finally, I arrived in Singapore. My last trip to Singapore was 2 years ago. OMG! That’s because I was too lazy to renew my passport hahaha. So, after checked-in at a hotel around Sommerset, I went to the nearest mall. I walked around and found this coffee shop. It looked comfortable with several seats. Joe & Dough.

IMG_9632

Joe & Dough was founded in 2009 with the dream to deliver the best coffee and sandwich experience to many people. We don’t do a whole lot, but what we do, we do it right with a great deal of care, sincerity and pride. We turn the daily routine of coffee and sandwiches into a bespoke treat. From sourcing the best Arabica beans that we grind on demand to insisting on baking our own breads and choosing only the finest ingredients, we serve coffee and food that we are genuinely proud of.

Located at Orchard Gateway, Joe & Dough is really a nice place to morning persons like me. While other still closed, they opened in the morning with a friendly smile. So please enjoy my very very simple review.

IMG_9631 IMG_9629 SAM_6385 IMG_9628 IMG_9630

We love food that is uncomplicated, great tasting and wholesome. We handcraft our sandwiches daily every step of the way – from baking our own artisan breads fresh out that very day to preparing the fillings by hand using quality ingredients. We thoughtfully pair the breads and ingredients, so you’ll always love eating our sandwiches. All our sandwiches have less than one-day shelf life so you can be sure to get fresh sandwiches every time!

Toasted Brioche, Ham, Cheddar Cheese, Bechamel Sauce

It looked so ordinary. I never thought it will be dabomb. The texture of the brioche was perfect. The ham and cheddar cheese mixed together deliciously delicate. The bechamel sauce glowing beautifully. I might be very hungry, but this one was very delicious, I only ate half of it, and saved the rest of it for my hubby. And when he ate that night, he couldn’t agree more. So delicious, he said. 🙂

[BANDUNG] Buttercup Signature Boulangerie at Four Points Bandung

October 15th, 2016. At the time, I stayed at Four Points Bandung and a friend of mine told me to stop by at the bakery near the hotel. I thought we have to go outside to find the bakery. Turned out, it was just in the same area with the hotel. Buttercup.

IMG_8519

Spacious place with another level, but not full floor. It’s like a semi 2nd level. The place is very comfortable. As cozy as it looks. They also have private room for smoking-area. Separated by glass windows. It’s really comfy. Too bad, I went there after my brunch buffet. We were so full and wanted to go to bed right away.

It’s delicious, of course. But the most eye-catching from this dish was the cow tray. LOL. It’s so cute!!! I wanna grab it and save the tray in my purse. Save it from other people to steal it.

It’s one of their signature dishes. The black colour of the baguette came from Japanese natural charcoal. Served with potato wedges on the side, I let my hubby finished it. And when he said it was good, I tried a bite and agreed with him. Well, I never liked potato wedges. The baguette? It’s a bit hard to chew for me. But I love the beef patty and smoked chicken.

Avec Moi New Venue at Teluk Betung Menteng Jakarta

November 19th, 2106. Attending an event without knowing the other invitees, somehow really confusing me. I didn’t really like to be in a crowd without my friends. So, when I got invitation to a soft opening party from a French restaurant, I asked if I could bring Gaby and Vrila. We were attending a foodtasting in the morning, and I wanted to bring them with me. And, they said yes. Cool. Let’s get the party started. Avec Moi.

IMG_0035

Guys, it’s been so long since I came to Avec Moi. Well, I love eating there. But, with so much new places in town, I really have to catch up with others. Since I did blogging only for fun, I didn’t want it to make it burden. It’s not fun anymore when I have to try hard to make myself looks good. I just wanna have some fun. When I heard about Avec Moi’s new venue, I thought they will open a second branch. Turns out, it’s a relocating venue. It’s fine. It’s fine. It means they’re very serious with their “baby.” Oh yeah, by the way, Romano and Chenny are very nice. They remembered to invite me to join their happiness. *blushing* hahahhahaha

IMG_0019 IMG_0020 IMG_0021 IMG_0023 IMG_0025 IMG_0022 IMG_0024

Located not so far from the first place, it’s a better one. Spacious room with comfortable ambiance. At the time we came, they make it like a hall for 300 guests. The wines and canapes were going around and around and around. Free flow. You can see me dancing all around the place with a glass of wine in one hand and a canape in the other. Hahahaha.. Annoying, right?

IMG_0027 SAM_6511 IMG_0028 IMG_0030 IMG_0031 IMG_0040 IMG_0041

The event had a vibrant and exciting live music. Hope they will make it as a regular show. It was really nice to hear such a good songs while enjoying wine and canape.

IMG_0042 IMG_0043 IMG_0044 SAM_6508 IMG_0045

Congratulations Avec Moi. Congratulations Romano and Chenny. Salute!
