New Breakfast & Waroeng Alkohol Menu at THE PEOPLE'S CAFE

Sudah cukup lama saya gak mampir ke Setiabudi One, dan setelah sekian lama, rupanya sudah banyak tenant berganti. Saya mampir ke salah satu tenant yang cukup baru di Setiabudi One yaitu THE PEOPLE'S CAFE yang dulu dikenal sebagai Ismaya Catering Cafe. Rupanya sejak berganti dari Ismaya Catering Cafe menjadi THE PEOPLE'S CAFE, ada beberapa hal yang berubah secara konsep maupun menu di tempat ini. Selain harganya menjadi lebih bersahabat, banyak inovasi menu yang dilakukan oleh THE PEOPLE'S CAFE. Salah satu menu yang paling baru adalah Breakfast Menu yang dapat dipesan mulai dari jam 8 - 11 pagi, setiap hari Senin -Jumat di Setiabudi One, dan hari Minggu di Kota Kasablanka. Yuk kita intip menu sarapan apa yang bisa dinikmati di tempat ini, dan beberapa menu baru lainnya.

Tadinya sih mau nulis review suatu restoran, tapi kok males yah, hajar bleh deh sama stok laen yang mau di-review (again ga jauh-jauh dari MTA & PI, I must spread my wings wider). Dear readers, please forgive my laziness.


1. Wayo-Men / Setiabudi One

Last Sunday I went to Wayo-Men, at Setiabudi One, bisa diduga kalo gw sampe nyasar ke sana, itu karena beli voucher, kalo ngga males bener dah. Wayo-Men ini menyediakan pasta-pasta ala Jepang, pas kemaren itu, bingung eke mo pesen apa akhirnya pesen Okinawa Festive (40K+) yang konon adalah hot sellingnya (at least itu yang tertulis di menu). Setelah di coba, ini pasta berkuah ini rasanya seperti kawin silang antara kuah tom yam & kuah udon, kuahnya rasanya asem, tapi juga masi berasa ke-Jepang-annya, yang kurang cocok sama lidah eke. Isinya ada dory (yang sangat sedikit & kecil), kerang, dan udang (kecil & hanya 2 saja!), eke kuciwa. Untuk minum eke pesen Hot Tea (9K+), good news, refillable! Untungnya di akhir hidangan, dikasih Matcha Ice Cream gretong, dan enak, tapi kok cuma satu yah? Pan pesen main coursenya 2 T_T

2. Ta Wan / Mal Taman Anggrek

Siapa yang ga tau Ta Wan sih? Selama gw mengunjungi MTA weekend atau hari libur, gak pernah gw liat Ta Wan sepi, yang membuat gw males makan di sana. Tapi pas tanggal merah beberapa hari lalu, tiba-tiba eke ngidam Chinese Food, sebenernya ngidamnya Chinese Food non-mol sih, tapi apa daya, kebetulan lagi di sana. Pas dateng, bener aja waiting list, tapi untuk cuma ber2, jadi cepet. So, mom & I ordered (sebenernya banyakan gw milih sih) Cumi Lada Garam (lupa harga, beginilah kalo dibayarin, around 30K+), Po Cai Telor Pitan (I even forgot judul benernya, around 27K+), and Sapi Lada Hitam (39 K+). Cumi Lada Garam-nya enak, terutama penggemar garlic (lebih cocok cumi goreng bawang putih sih judulnya), Po Cai enak, yang kurang berkenan Sapi Lada Hitam-nya, rasanya terlalu gimana gitu, dan dagingnya ga terlalu banyak, dulu seinget gw enak padahal.

3. Tonkotsu Chasumen - Ramen 38 / Food Kulture Plaza Indonesia

Hmmm, me likey this ramen, especially the pork slices, so tender & juicy! (59K++)


4. Teriyaki Rice Burger & Wagyu Chili Burger - MOS Burger / Plaza Indonesia

Yes! Ini semua berkat voucher eke mencoba dua menu di atas. Normal price untuk si Teriyaki 26 K & 34 K untuk si Wagyu Chili Burger. Personally I like the Teriyaki Beef Rice Burger Better, dagingnya enak, rice-nya juga pulen (aih jadi pengen lagi). For the wagyu, yang menurut gw kurang nendang, chili-nya.

5. Huang Ting / Mal Taman Anggrek

Beberapa waktu lalu, sempet ngidam bebek, dan gak kesampean sekian lama, sampe akhirnya I have a brunch date with my friend, dan akhirnya cita-cita itu tersampaikan juga (meneteskan air mata haru). Tapi dasar rakus, Nasi Bebek Panggang (38K++) aja ga cukup, so pesen lagi Siomay (16K++) & Lumpia Udang Kulit Tahu (16K++). Bebeknya enak, yang kurang, kurang banyak aja, the dim sums were also good.

6. Bakso Malang Campur Batagor - BMK / Mal Taman Anggrek
(and my readers would say, oh nooo, not MTA again...)

Kalo pulang kantor pengen makan bakso, biasanya gw ke BMK, yang tinggal beberapa langkah nyampe. Tapi...betapa sedih hati ini, ketika tau, bahwa BMK di deket kantor itu sudah tutup, dan malah diganti Hoka Hoka Bento, bhhuuuu! Melepas kerinduan yang terpendam, akhirnya minggu kemaren bisa makan BMK lagi, yay! I ordered Bakso Malang Campur Batagor (berapa yah harganya? around 16-20K-an, penyakit amnesia kalo dibayarin ini kambuh...). Sebenernya, kalo bakso sih eke sukanya bakso urat, tapi berhubung lagi kangen, mari pesan yang satu mangkok berisi berbagai macem bakso, nyammm...


7. Affogato + Pasta Aglio Olio - Areli Coffee House

Few weeks ago, I've reviewed Areli, and a few days later, I went back there, karena eke ngidam Affogato, and the nearest place to my house that serves Affogato is Areli. Waktu itu pesen Affogato (17K) & nyobain juga Pasta Aglio Olio-nya (27K), for such place & price, keduanya ga mengecewakan, dan cocok bagi lidah saya.


8. Le Soho Cupcakes - MTA

Cupcakes for me are to be seen not to be eaten. They're all pretty, but they're all too sweet for me. I actually bought the vouchers to redeem it with the birthday package (330K - 24 cakes arrangement). The retail price is 10K per piece.


9. Banoffy Toffy - Cream & Fudge

Banoffy Toffy = ice cream + banana + choco chip. For my standard, ice cream with this price (53K++) is overpriced, but since budget buat nonton lagi ga kepake, berarti budget buat makan enak bertambah :p


10. Junior Puff - Chewy Junior / MTA

Selama ini, aku memandangmu sebelah mata Chewy Junior, aku pernah mencoba mu sekali, dan setelah itu tidak pernah lagi. Tapi berkat promo voucher-mu itu, dan aku kembali mencoba puff kenyal berisi fla itu, terutama yang bertopping cream cheese, kini aku jatuh cinta pada-mu, dan menempatkanmu di posisi yang sejajar dengan Mr. Puff di hati perutku (emang ada?)
1 lusin Junior Puff = 53 K

Ok, nampaknya post ini harus disudahi, melihat tulisan gw yang nampaknya makin ngawur, ciao!

Q Smokehouse...

I've read about Q Smokehouse several times, most were good reviews, but I wasn't really curious about it, until I started a new hobby weeks ago, hunting for discount vouchers! Haha, emak-emak banget deh, so everyday, I browse through websites like disdus, ogahrugi, etc. I haven't use the first voucher I bought, let's save it for next review. So, I was looking for an interesting promo, and I found this Q Smokehouse-Setiabudi One promo. With IDR 50.000 nett you could pick one of this packages : Reuben Sandwich/Brisket Sandwich/Chix Sandwic + Affogato/Ice Cream + Latte/Cappucino or Loco Moco/Spaghetti Bolognaise/Cheese Burger + Affogato/Ice Cream + Thai Iced Tea/Flavoured Tea, quite worth it eh? I bought 2 vouchers, for me and abang, and so we went there yesterday.

The vouchers could be used every day, starting from 2 PM, so the plan was, movie first at 12.45 then late lunch, buuuuuuut abang was linglung because of his hunger, he bought tickets for 3PM show, gubrak! So, we had lunch, then wait two hours for the movie, after that, finally the Q Smokehouse. Located on the GF of Setiabudi One (very easy to find since Setiabudi One is a small place), the place wasn't too big, dominated with wooden furniture, but quite comfy.


We sat and show the waitress our printed online vouchers, she handed them to her friend, and he gave us the promo menu. I picked Loco Moco + Affogato + Thai Iced Tea, and for abang, Reuben Sandwich + Chocolate Ice Cream + Cappucino.

Anyway, they gave us plain paper as table mat, and my itchy hand felt like doodling there while waiting :p

We waited patiently, then our drinks came, my Thai Iced Tea (19K) in quite a big glass, and abang's Cappucino (25K) in a cup. I asked him, why did you order cappucino instead of latte, you know the difference? He answered, nope, I just knew that people usually said cappucino cappucino...Haiyaaah, sotoy la abang :))

And so, abang's main course came, the Reuben Sandwich (42K). Yummy yum, the toasts was oat bread, inside was brisket slices with melted mozarella, the meat was tender and yummy, the french fries was also tasty, salad was fresh, overall the portion was generous and fulfilling.

And below, mine, the Loco Moco (59K), I've read that Loco Moco is a hawaiian dishes. It was a plate of fried rice with two beef patties, fried egg, and salad. Me likey the fried rice, yum yum. The portion was also quite fulfilling.

And the dinner haven't stop there, it was time for desserts! Mine was affogato (25K), so they gave me two scopes of vanilla ice cream and a little cup of coffee, so affogato was ice cream + coffee, I thought that small cup of coffee worth 10K, why, because it was stated on the menu, that the basic ice cream like abang's worth 15K.

Overall, we were satisfied with our dinner, of course because of the vouchers! You saw the prices I mentioned? Those were the real prices of the menus we ordered, and we only spent 2x50K nett for all of these stuffs, no more tax, no more service. Super worth it! Let's hunt for more great value vouchers ;)
