ARDENT COFFEE AND EATERY

Told ya Puri is getting major improvements!! Yeah! Another coffee shop that totally surprised me, Ardent Coffee and Eatery! Can you imagine that this beautifully minimalist coffee shop is actually located at Pesanggrahan, in line with Sandwich Bakar, Ikkudo, and Haji Mamat. From outside, you'd never guess that the inside is this pretty or this big. Let's start the tour then!

BURGO JAKARTA

Yeah! Another decent new restaurant called Burgo has opened at Puri! Though this one's a bit isolated, since it's at Puri Mansion's shopping district and hard to locate from the main road, not only that but the place also lacks signboard! How we found out about the place, it's all thanks to good ol' Instagram!

I guess you can already guess from the name that Burgo specializes in Burgers, right? Upon entering, I was totally blown away by the super cozy atmosphere and somehow looks semi-fine dining, don't you think? But because we didn't expect this kind of place at Puri, we were definitely under-dressed!

Went here when it was still daylight, yet I don't really know why the photo turns out like it was taken at night. Maybe it's because of the lighting in this place?

To me this looks like the kind of place to have a few drinks, not just a simple dining place. Maybe it's the black couch? Anyone else agrees?

You'll also find some drawings of a cow, which I don't really know why, since they're not selling steak. Hmm..

Giving you a sneak peek of their menu because it's just so cute! It's the kind of design that is very popular nowadays, isn't it?

Look at these cutleries with attitudes..lol!

Of course, our ultimate beverages, Ice Tea and Lemon Tea!

CHEDDAR SOUP IDR 28K

Croutons, onions.

Honestly, this is the first time I've heard of a cheddar cheese soup. Usually it's just mushroom or pumpkin, etc and I rarely get soups in a restaurant but since this is a Cheddar soup, it definitely pokes my curiosity! Everything ended well as it turns out to be super good! It really does taste like cheddar cheese and if you like cheese, get this!

Even though it's rich with cheese, I'm glad that the texture is perfect, not too thick nor thin and it smells heavenly! I could even finish the whole thing myself, since it's not overwhelming at all because we all know how tricky it is when it comes to cheese!

FISH & CHIPS IDR 37K

Yes, though in most restaurants, fish and chips would be considered a main course, here, it's only a side. You can clearly tell just by looking at the portion of this, right?

Taste-wise, it's really nothing special. Not gonna say it's bad but not gonna say it's good as well!

DEEP FRIED CHICKEN WINGS IDR 32K

Served with BURGO chili sauce.

There's really nothing special about this but because of the BURGO chili sauce, it tasted better! Well, nothing can really go wrong with fried chickens, though it is a bit tasteless..which is why you need the BURGO chili sauce!

MEMPHIS MAC DADDY IDR 78K
Pork burger, grilled slab of mac and cheese, fried onions, smokey BBQ sauce.

It's PORK and it's YUMMY! Everything is perfect, from the top bun 'till the bottom bun..absolutely delicious! On top is an onion ring, followed by mac and cheese, and on the bottom is the yummy pork, plus the smokey BBQ sauce doesn't taste sour at all! Overall, it has a super balanced taste!

Though it's not truffle fries, it still tastes amazing!

I'd definitely love to come back, so that I could try all the other burgers they have, since I couldn't have on this visit because there's just the 2 of us. Bet that the other burgers would taste as lovely as the one we had! A little suggestion from me is to advertise the place more, since I feel like not many knows about this place, especially when you can't see it from the main road, which is a shame because the foods are actually good!

PAPAJO EATERY

Yeay! Something new has opened near home!! A super cute eatery called Papajo, located right next to The Fctry at Lippo Mall Puri! You can clearly tell how cute it is by just looking at their colorful signboard!

I know it's kinda small but that just makes it cuter! Love all the white with a touch of colorful pastels! We definitely picked the right spot to catch up with old besties!

Though there's 2 floors, you shouldn't expect much cause the 2nd floor is even smaller than the already small 1st floor..lol! Another is that the service was totally not the best, don't really know cause they're new or whatnot but they better fix it!

Now that we've seen their pretty interiors, let's get started with their dishes, shall we?

GARLIC MUSHROOM FRITTERS IDR 32K

Crispy fried mushrooms sprinkled with toasted garlic.

There's nothing really special here. It's good but I guess there's nothing much that can be done. Well, at least it's salty, which I love and the garlic sprinkles is a nice touch for fragrance!

PAPAJO SLOPPY FRIES IDR 35K

A pile of golden fries, topped with melted cheddar cheese, caramelized onions and a house special sauce.

This would've been PERFECT, if the fries weren't as soggy. Well, nothing can really go wrong with melted cheese! Too bad this sloppy fries were just...sloppy!

PORK SCHNITZEL IDR 58K
Breaded pork cutlet served with fries.

Okay, the plating's totally a turn off and the taste's okay-ish, though the fries here's better than the sloppy fries, meaning that they can actually make good fries! They just need to be consistent with their quality! Another plus for the thin layer of breaded skin!

NASI GORENG BABI RICA IDR 48K
Rica pork belly fried rice with egg, chili, crackers.

Favorite dish out of all! Not because we're Indonesian and it's pork..okay, maybe it is! Can't help it that we like pork so much and the rica goes really well with fried rice! A bit spicy but nothing I can't handle, so I guess you could too!

THAI MILK TEA IDR 25K
THAI GREEN MILK TEA IDR 25K

Not much can be said. It's sweet and refreshing, I'd go for the Thai milk tea than the green one, since if you expect like green tea or something, you'd be greatly disappointed!

Don't really know if I'll come back but since it's so close to home, I guess I might(?) I'd definitely come back if they've improved though, cause the place is just too cute, plus it's perfect hang out spot!

OSAKA MARU

Yeah!! Another new interesting dining place has arrived near my place and it's Japanese too! Double points then! :p The place is called Osaka Maru and it's at Lippo Mall Puri. You can clearly see the place upon entering the main entrance of the mall before going to the parking area. I just want to take a minute to be grateful of this mall! Since it opened, there has been a lot of interesting restaurants invading, even Eric Kayser is here!

Love how the interior is really earthy and colorful! It's not that spacey but it does have a second floor and it has so many windows that makes this place filled with natural light! That only goes for the first floor though, since the second floor is way darker!

Since there's a lot of flowers and there's also a giant tree in the middle with the subtle colorfulness, I really feel like I'm in a garden or something and yet they managed to still have this fine-dining atmosphere!

Upon entering, you just have to look up and see these colorful umbrellas! Never really gave Japanese umbrellas that much of a thought until after I saw it!

This is definitely my favorite shot taken here! I could really make this a wallpaper, it's so pretty!

Welcomed with these delicious rolls and dipping! There're 3 types of dipping; butter, olive oil, and balsamic and my favorite would be balsamic!

KURO UNAGI BURGER IDR 75K
Black burger bun, beef patty, unagi, fresh sunkist.

Though I could say that they're really cheap with the unagi, I still find this super delicious! My favorite part would be how the sunkist just freshen up the heavy taste! You might think that the portion is way too small for the price but I think with the taste and quality they offered, this is a reasonable price!

You gotta eat it all in 1 go! Don't leave anything behind!

BEEF HOKKIGAI IDR 75K
Grill beef with asian herb, hokkigai surf clam, uni sauce.

This is my favorite dish here! Other than the fact that it's all meat, it's also super tender and grilled to perfection with a super fresh clam! I didn't even notice that it was clam, since there's no smell whatsoever! Super amazed with the quality and their attention to details!

Look at the color! Perfect medium rare grilled beef!

KAMO KURO GOMA IDR 75K
Breast of duck, romano letus, pomelo with black sauce.

This one's also good but after the beef hokkigai, this didn't came as big of an impact. It's still super good too though. I especially love how the pomelo lightens the whole taste and the black sauce really makes you wonder!

OSAKAMARU ROLL IDR 70K
Spicy salmon, red chilli, nori tempura, eel sauce, spicy mayonize.

Can you believe that even their sushi is superb? Well, I never thought that sushi can taste bad, so this one's a given I guess..lol! Yet this is seriously good too, again not as big of an impact but still plenty of good points! It has a bit of a spicy kick but nothing I can't tolerate and the nori tempura gave it a nice crunchy texture! Yum!

This place really amazed me! Not only do they offer high quality dishes, but also high quality service! Really amazed with how friendly the server was, especially when we were indecisive about our table!
