COFFEE KULTURE BAYWALK

Wondering how Jakarta's coffee game doing? Well, I believe that it's still going strong cause here's another new coffee shop. It's not exactly a new one but it's a new branch of Coffee Kulture! For those who doesn't know, their first branch is at Muara Karang and now, their 2nd branch is at the mall nearby, Baywalk!

If I were to choose, I'd definitely pick this new branch, since they totally improved their look which you can clearly see from the interior! It's more of a nowaday's type of interior with all the earthy components and color and not forgetting the all around glass for those natural lights..lol!

CHEESEBURGER ROLLS IDR 65K

Do you know what cheeseburgers taste like? Well, this literally tastes like cheeseburger in a shape of crispy rolls! A very satisfying snack to accompany you and friends because who doesn't love a good cheeseburger? :p

SALMON TREASURE MEATBALLS IDR 88K
Don't really know why it's called treasure, might be because it's yummy! Can never resist foods that are so deliciously glazed! Though I can't really taste the salmon, it still taste hell'a good! Love how convenient that stick is, so that you don't have to use any utensils nor dirty your fingers!

PULLED PORK HASH SLIDERS IDR 59K
It's pork, so expect nothing less! This here is a combination of everything that I love, from pork, hash brown, to cheese..yeap, nothing to complain here!

TRUFFLE PARMESAN FRENCH FRIES IDR 45K
The smell of truffle here is unbelievable! No kidding! Though it needs more parmesan, since you can barely taste it with all the overwhelming truffle. Not really much could go wrong with fries as long as you season it well!

AVOCADO COFFEE CRUNCH IDR 50K
Avocado, chocolate ice cream, milo, crispy balls, espresso.

I think this is a hands-down most favorite item today! From the looks to the taste, it scores an almost perfect score! It would be perfect if they make the avocado a bit thicker but I guess it's made this watery because it intends to be a beverage rather than a dessert. I do hope they would make it thicker!

Love how well balanced the whole taste is! Not too sweet, not too bitter and a combination of avocado, chocolate, and coffee. Perfect!

VALRHONA PICCOLO MOCHA IDR 40K
Valrhona chocolate, espresso, milk.

Though I didn't taste this because it was not mine, it definitely piques my interest! Just hearing the word Valrhona always drags me in and seeing as it's a mocha made it all the worst! I'd definitely try it on my next visit!

BAOZY SMORES IDR 55K
Over the top shakes with mini nutella fried baoger, milk, marshmallow, 54% dark chocolate, oreo, biscuit.

From the looks of it, you can clearly tell how much guilt is inside this..lol! This guilty pleasure consists of chocolate, whip cream, marshmallow and wafers, so just imagine the calories but it's just so sinful that you won't be able to resist! The name baozy definitely came from the burger buns on top that is also enjoyable if you eat it while dipping it into the drink!

BAOZY PB FLAKES IDR 55K
Over the top shakes with crunchy peanut butter, cornflakes, vanilla, milk, marshmallow.

Same thing as the Baozy Smores only with peanut butter and cornflakes this time! If you're less of a sweet-tooth then this is a perfect alternative! I personally think the bun here is better though, since it's filled with peanut butter! Dayum!

Now that we're done with the interesting drinks, it's time to dig into the mains. There're some that I didn't have the chance to try but it's pretty much their recommended dishes, so let's check them out!

THE ULTIMATE IDR 69K

100gr real beef patty, caramelized onion, crispy bacon (beef/bacon), french fries.

TRUFFLE PASTA IDR 79K

Bacon, mushrooms, pasta, cream, truffle oil, parmesan, microgreens.

SAMBAL MATAH PASTA WITH SALMON BELLY IDR 89K
Pan-fried Norway salmon belly, housemade sambal matah sauce, pasta, microgreens.

Okay, you might think I'm weird for choosing a pasta with sambal matah but I love sambal matah and let me just tell you that this is amazing! Who knew sambal matah would go that well with salmon, let alone pasta! Thumbs up for Indonesia's chili!

SALTED EGG YOLK CHICKEN OVER RICE IDR 65K
Fried chicken thigh, housemade salted egg yolk sauce, crispy sunny side up, rice, microgreens.

Salted egg yolk this, salted egg yolk that, it's been all about salted egg yolks nowadays and you gotta keep up with the trend, right? Well, it's no wonder that it's becoming a trend, since it's really good and goes well with almost anything! This bowl of goodness is a great choice if you wanna get some Asian foods!

HERB CRUSTED SALMON WITH LEMON CREAM SAUCE IDR 159K
150gr Norway salmon, parmesan & parsley crust, potato wedges, lemon cream sauce, microgreens.

The herb definitely smells great and salmon always goes well with lemon, so there's nothing wrong with this. Another plus point because they managed to get the skin crusted but the inside of the salmon still raw red and for me who prefers raw salmon, it's good news!

CARAMELIZED GINGER SALMON WITH AVOCADO SALSA IDR 159K
150gr marinated caramel & ginger Norway salmon, avocado salsa, potato wedges, microgreens.

Yes, you all know how I love glazed foods, so I would prefer this if only the inside is as raw as the one before. Too bad it wasn't though, I'm starting to think that what they did before was just pure luck. Overlooking that, the caramelized ginger actually suits salmon and even if I'm not a big fan of avocado as a savory choice, this is actually tolerable!

Wonder how vast and long will this coffee trend last in Jakarta? We hope it will last long with more and more talented barista appearing and more proper coffee shops! Who's with us?

COFFEE KULTURE

It is now time to get to a different culinary destination: North Jakarta! It's a mini-oasis near the hip, new, brimming shopping mall, the Baywalk! Here's the cute Coffee Kulture at Muara Karang everyone!!

By having a glance on the interior, you'd instantly realize the overall concept of this place: homey! Placing comfort above all else, this small shop is so suitable if you'd like to study or having a catch-up session with some friends!

They have a really good resemblance of a cozy study room and a family room, that's why this place is comfortable! Not too bright in lighting, so you have a mild and cool atmosphere to just relax or concentrate on your works.

You'd have already realized by this point that the place has such unique and sweet taste in contemporary and youthful artworks! As a student, you'd most likely be drawn in these cute concept of a place.

CEREAL OREO CHEESECAKE IDR 40K

My favorite drink in this place! Although the cheesecake taste was almost nowhere to be found, it still make one yummy drink. The smooth cheesecake combined with blended Oreo then topped with cereals, good texture varieties! I also loved it because it's super sweet.

HOT MATCHA LATTE IDR 32K
Gotta love their playful idea of latte art! The little green alien from Toy's Story was drawn so perfectly and it's super cute!!! I was so sad to have the first sip as I ruined the artwork :( The taste is just like any other good green tea lattes you'd find in Starbucks or other international coffee shops, which sets a quite high standard for such a place!

BANANA SPRING ROLL IDR 20K

Banana wrapped in spring roll skin and fried with added chocolate sauce and grated cheese. It's a traditional Indonesian snack if you happen to wonder about what it originated from. Crispy, sweet, and salty goodness in one bite. Scrumptious!

HAM SUI KOK IDR 16,8K

This snack, despite its cute presentation of looking much like a carrot, just didn't work so well to me. It's not bad actually, might just be a difference in taste, but the ingredient wasn't really to my liking. It taste like sweet potato and inside it is ebi.

VOLCANO CASSAVA IDR 25K

Yet another classic traditional Indonesian snack: deep fried cassava with grated cheddar cheese! This dish might look simple to your sight, but let me tell you, once you get a bite, you'll get addicted! The savory, salty taste of cassava, cheese, and salt in crispy goodness gives you a strong urge to bite, chew, and finish everything in one go. They even made it into something more unique, with a volcano-like structure, they add sliced chili for little kick of spiciness to live up to it's name. Wicked!

SPAGHETTI BALACAN IDR 55K

Now let's talk about unique! I think they might call this their own signature since I've never seen spaghetti in balacan sauce before. Ever! Served with prawns, the taste was so..unique! I personally liked the taste despite some of my friends who came with me didn't really like it. If you're up for a taste adventure, go for this one! It's the perfect combination of Italian and Indonesian cuisine!

STEAK SANDWICH IDR 65K
It's a classic steak sandwich. Putting sliced beef steak, mushroom, and cheese sauce (sometimes with caramelized onion) and sandwiched in a baguette type of bread!
From here on out you can just imagine its taste: crispy on the outside as it gets chewy, and then juicy tenderness from the cheese-simmered beef steak. Wonderful!

CLASSIC CHOCOLATE (HOT) IDR 30K

Well, nothing much to comment on this one, since this is just a classic hot chocolate. Still, a classic has its own reason to be one: it's so good that it goes for generations! But if you were seriously asking, this is a good cup of hot chocolate. Rich in texture, creamy, and sweet.

PIGGY PAO IDR 17,8K

Now for our favorite!! This is a timeless classic of dimsum pick as it's nothing but the legenDARY salted egg buns! If you've never tried a salted egg bun before, you gotta try one. I'm serious about this. It's more or less a melted butter, condensed milk, and salted egg yolk: golden in color, hot, with a combination of sweet and salty at the same time. Rich! This is actually the main reason we came here, since we saw this while browsing through instagram. It was unbelievably cute AND it's a salted egg yolk pao! When we came, the pao was not ready yet, so we had to wait like half an hour or more, but it was definitely worth the wait!

Yummy and comfy! That's what comes in mind when we talk about this place! Our only concern about this place was the small parking lot and congested traffic on peak hours, but that's where we exactly need an oasis, isn't it?
