munchies by sweetheart bandung...

Before I start, let me explain, that this Munchies is different with that Munchies in Gandaria City. So, this Munchies is a sister company of Toko Kue Bawean in Bandung (I've mentioned their famous chocolate wafer here).

It is located inside Mazee area of FX, L6, dominated with wooden furnitures. As it was still noon when I came, the sun burst in directly through the glass windows.

The menu didn't consist of much choices, so, we ordered Fried Mushroom (24K), Chicken Cream Soup (18K), Fish & Chips (29,5K), Spaghetti Aglio Olio (29,5K), and Hot Tea (6K), nett prices. We wanted to order Chicken Wings before, but the waiter said the menu wasn't available at the time.

We came around 12.15 PM, there were several guesses, but there were only 1 waiter and 1 cook, we should wait quite a long time just to order, and with only 1 cook, you could imagine how long did it took to get our food ready. We wait, wait, and wait, until 1.10 PM, there was only Hot Tea on our table, and we already bought movie tickets for 1.15 PM, wew!

Actually we came here because I bought the discount vouchers, and since I already gave it to the waiter, my order couldn't be canceled. I wasn't too hungry at the time, I told the waiter, I'll be back there after the movie, anyway, our order hasn't been processed (untungnya belum laper, kalo perut belum berkicau, eke panjang sabar.)

We were back at 3 PM, there were 4 employees now, oke kemajuan. Disappointingly, the waiter told me, sorry, no more mushroom, I was like, what, another sold out?? So, he offered Bitterballen (24K) instead, and I agreed to give it a try.

This time, the waiting time was shorter (it should be), the waiter served Abang's Fish & Chips, the portion was so so.

Then came our four pieces of Bitterballen.
*Original meaning : Bitterballen (plural of 'bitterbal') are a savoury Dutch meat-based snack, typically containing a mixture of beef (minced or chopped), beef broth, flour and butter for thickening, parsley, salt and pepper.
But these bitterballen were so cheesy (literally), the taste was okay, but not my fave.

Then came my Spaghetti Aglio Olio, it should be spicy (as written on the menu), turned out, not too spicy and a bit plain, but not bad.

And this so called appetizer (ehm, dari judul sih mestinya makanan pembuka yah), Chicken Cream Soup, came the last, oh well...Abang said, it tasted good, but for me, it tasted just like those instant cream soups.

Honestly, I wasn't satisfied with this place, nothing was really special about the food, maybe Bawean should stick to cookies & cakes. Actually the spot was nice just to hangout, having some snacks, and enjoying the free wi-fi, but there were no smoking and non smoking area, all mixed up. But since we used vouchers, the total spending (incl. vouchers) was only 53K, yes, for all those food, we were even Munchies!

To Munchies' management, If you're really serious in running this business, please pay more attention to the food stock, and pls divide the smoking & non smoking area (I saw people were moving to another table because they couldn't stand the smoke), and more cook & waiters pls...
