BRADLEY'S BRITISH TEA HOUSE

Time to get all British and posh here at Bradley's Tea House! Located in Senopati area, this place isn't exactly new and they've even went through renovation already! At first, we were interested at this place but seeing as there's never been any customers from seeing their empty parking lot, we were never really tempted to actually try it actually but did anyways!

Glad that we actually did cause the interior is just too cute and pretty! It's any girl's dream house really! All pastels, flowery, and frilly, you'll feel like a little princess here! I also think it's all pretty, though a bit of black and dark shades might be more suitable for me! :p

Any decoration you'll find here just screams out princess-y, guess it's typical for a tea house. Besides, only princesses had the luxury of wasting time for an afternoon tea party..lol! There're 2 sections here, one of them is for the smoking room and strange enough; it's located on the inner side of the house!

NAYARA WHITE IDR 63K
Is a rare tea that was introduced to the West. This low-caffeine delicacy is the most minimally-processed of all tea varietals.

Got this because it's what they recommended us. Living up to it's name, the color of this tea is a bit clear, though not really white but very close to it and what I love most is that this comes with not sugar but HONEY! Another thing I love is probably the pretty tea set!

SET MENU NO. 3 IDR 215K

We got this set because it has the most interesting varieties, though the others were also very alluring. In the end, this one won us over! It was probably because of the Tres Leches!

SCONES

Light and soft bread with a biscuit like texture, best served with whipped cream or jam.

Never been a big fan of scones but I guess this one's decent. At least I was able to enjoy it only if it's accompanied by the cream and jam!

TRES LECHES
Sponge cake soaked in three kind of milk.

Yes, I love milk, so this totally peeked on my interest! It didn't disappoint as well, the super moist texture covered with cream is definitely yummy! I especially love that crispy texture of the sprinkled brown sugar on top!

RASPBERRY TART
This simple, decadent tart with raspberry cream cheese filling.

QUICHE LORAINE
A quiche made with cheese and bacon.

It's a nice to have some savory delicacies after all those sweets! This one's especially enjoyable, not the thick part of the skin though!

SCRAMBLE EGG WITH SMOKE SALMON
Smoked salmon has such a rich and salty flavor that a little bit goes a long way in this sophisticated take on scrambled egg. This too is to die for.

The way they described it was a bit exaggerating, though I admit this is delicious. Fluffy croissant with salty eggs and smoked salmon, what could go wrong?

ICE CHOCO CRUNCH IDR 45K
It's an Ovomaltine milkshake...nothing more is needed to say! Just seeing that blotch of Ovomaltine on top makes my mouth water!

The place is a bit small and quiet. It totally makes the atmosphere way too tense for a tea house, which is supposed to be relaxing! I felt like I had to whisper in here and seeing as there's not many customers when we came made it much more awkward! The only thing that tempted me to come back is the interiors, which is too bad, since I think they could be much more popular if they increased their food quality!

TOGO CAFE GOURMET

Calling all the businessmen and women! A perfect place for you busy people, Togo Cafe Gourmet, is located at World Trade Center II. First of all, we'd like to thank Billy Oscar for inviting us to this great place!

Why is it perfect for those who don't have the time to sit around to have a decent meal in a restaurant? Cause they have this 'to-go' concept, get it? (Togo - 'to go'). They open early at 7 am, so it's the perfect time to get a decent breakfast to-go OR you can just order something if you're somewhere in the Metropolitan Complex and it's FREE DELIVERY, so no extra charge for delivery.

Well, the bad news is, since their target market is people from the office, they only open on weekdays also and only until 9 pm.

The outlet is really simple and compact, a sign of a fast-paced cafe. The place has a nice tone of white, yellow, and brown plus a playful checkered tiles.

STRAWBERRY LEMONADE IDR 22K
Perfect for the heat of Jakarta! With the freshness of a strawberry and lemon combined with soda water, this fresh cold beverage will surely get you more awake, refreshed and energized. My eyes went straight to this right after I saw the menu because of the super hot days Jakarta has nowadays.

CAPPUCCINO IDR 24/29K
Everyone with a busy schedule needs a doze of caffeine to get their spirits going. From businessman to celebrities, there's always time for them to enjoy a cup of their favorite coffee and here they offer a very nice coffee. Togo actually takes their coffee seriously and they also proudly use 100% Indonesian coffee beans for their unique blends and they promised nothing less than a quality gourmet coffee in every cup and I'm pretty convinced after trying it myself, I even got this cute teddy bear latte art. See, the owner, Mr. Ponti Young, in fact, has a passion for coffee and he creates his own standard for the coffees here in Togo, so are you interested to try Mr. Ponti's standardized coffee?

NASI BAKAR RENDANG

Grilled rice with slow cooked beef.

Indonesian's signature cuisine, rendang with rice grilled in banana leaves which made it really fragrant, you can smell the sweet aroma right after the waiter came out with it. The plating is really unique, but you still need to unwrap it though, even if it does looks like a burrito. Inside the rice is peanuts, tempeh orek, cassava leaves, and rendang, so it's bound to be a bit spicy.

BOSS BREAKFAST IDR 63K
3 scrambled eggs, sautéed mushrooms, hash brown, beef bacon, chicken sausages, grilled tomato, toasted baguette.

A perfect breakfast made for a boss. It's healthy and filling, with the appropriate price you'll get the whole package of nutrients. My favorite was the mushrooms and eggs. Really recommend this dish for your breakfast, it'll provide you with the energy you need to start your busy day. Remember, breakfast is the most important meal of the day -Spongebob.

TANDOORI CHICKEN WRAP IDR 43K

Grilled marinated chicken rolled in naan bread with yogurt, fresh pickles and fragrant rice.

Tandoori chicken is a popular North Indian dish consisting of roasted chicken prepared with yogurt and spices (source: Wikipedia), and as far as I know, Indian spices are supposed to have strong flavors, too bad this one was a bit bland, but maybe it was because of the naan bread, cause I really couldn't taste anything from the naan bread. Naan bread is usually combined with something that has a strong flavor and sauce but since they also add rice to it, the strong flavor a tandoori chicken is supposed to have was overpowered by the blandness. This one's not really my cup of tea.

SPAGHETTI CABE RAWIT IDR 29K
Our Spicier twist of everyone`s Italian Favourite [add tuna (12K), add corned beef (12K)]

Italian and Indonesian fusion, for those who like spicy food, you won't even call this spicy, but this is spicy enough for an Italian dish. A simple Aglio Olio with a twist of Indonesian chili, cabe rawit, and with affordable price too, you can also add tuna or corned beef with just IDR 12K.

MONSTER MUNCH BURGER IDR 79K
200 gr beef patty with watercress, caramelized onions, cheese and mushrooms. All in all, ½ kg of a meal.

Out of all dish I tried here, this is the best pick! This monster burger is really worth your IDR 79K and it has the best toppings, just look at that beautiful melted cheese, with extra fries on the side. Soft homemade buns with tender and juicy patty, completed with caramelized onions and mushrooms, what more do you need?

VIETNAMESE CHICKEN SANDWICH IDR 46K
Seared marinated chicken fillet, carrot and daikon pickles, fresh chilies, heaps of coriander and finally stuffed in a baguette. Outstanding!

The actual history of Togo is because the owner thinks that Indonesia needs more restaurants that has a decent sandwich and a sandwich is perfect for a to-go concept.You should try this if you ever come visit, cause this is how a decent sandwich actually taste, delicious and filling. Fyi, they make their own dough.

MAKE YOUR OWN CREPES!
Don't know if this is open for public or I was just lucky enough to get this opportunity. Yeap! I got to try making my own crepes, though it's not as easy as it looks, but at least I get to add any toppings I want and as much as I want. The texture of the crepes is not crispy like D'crepes, but more chewy like how real crepes are suppose to be, you can add sugar, chocolate, cheese, and peanuts. There's a Crepe Coffee package at 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm, Crepe with any of 2 toppings + Regular Hot Coffee / Tea only for IDR 35K.

ICE CAPPUCCINO IDR 29/33K

CAPPUCCINO IDR 24/29K

FRENCH VANILLA MILKSHAKES IDR 31/35K
Didn't get to try any desserts so to satisfy my sweet-tooth, I ordered this French Vanilla and it was worth it. The blended sweetness is perfect for me, though if you don't like sweets, I don't recommend this and I doubt you even want to try it, since it clearly said 'French Vanilla'. They have many interesting milkshakes like; Belgian Chocolate, Oreo & Cream, Summer Strawberry Kiss, and Mocha Shake, all which literally made me indecisive.

Got to have a pleasant lunch with some amazing people, it was a great experience! Thank you Mr. Ponti Young and Chef Revo for sharing your stories and knowledge! Next time, I'll definitely come back to try all the other milkshakes and desserts that I didn't get to try, since I already planned to go to Baker's Gallery for desserts (reviews coming soon).

BEEZY KAFFEE

Beezy Kaffee is not really new cause it first opened like a year ago, so why did I decided to come here? Well, cause I just love the interior that has been 'buzzing' on the Instagram. By the way, this is a late post, I actually came here wayyy before we decided to make this blog, and it was also because I wanted to try Umabo as well, which was in a close distance. Beezy Kaffee has 2 floors but I don't think the first floor is used, when I arrived, the first floor was dark and creepy *not really* and they told me to just go upstairs, so I did and THAT is where the magic happens~

Just LOOK at these book shelves! Don't you think that it's adorable?? I also like that they used some wooden furniture, just feels so earthy. The knick-knacks they use are also pretty and neatly placed. Since most of it is wooden, they oozes yellow and brown shades that gives off this warm atmosphere. You'll want to just relax and enjoy it a little bit longer.

The place is sooo gorgeous! It's cute, fun, and beautiful, they use a beehive as the concept which leads us back to the name 'Bee'zy. From the outside, I thought that there aren't too many people here, which was wrong!

BEEZY CHICKEN STEAK IDR 38K

Boneless whole chicken leg, potato wedges, and choice of Mushroom Sauce or Hollandaise Sauce.

Truth be told, when I saw the menu, I was totally at lost and there really isn't anything that catches my eyes particularly. Clueless, I decided to ask the waiter to shed some light. They said that this Chicken Steak is their specialty with 2 sauce choices, which I chose the Hollandaise one. The plating is plain simple, not really an eye-candy here, but the taste is super good! The chicken is somewhat crispy and the sauce is oh-so-damn-good! Everything on that plate is just heavenly. Don't judge a book by it's cover, maybe? :p

CHOCOLATE BLUEBERRY & OREO CHEESECAKE CUPCAKE
As you all know, I'm a hardcore sweet tooth! So I just HAD to end my meals with sweets, but so unbelievably unfortunate of me, the desserts weren't ready yet cause I came here early and they just opened and all. When I asked whether it'll be ready soon or not, they said they weren't sure, so oh well. But on the bright side, there's a promo here actually. For the minimum purchase of IDR 150K you'll get a free cupcake! So with the help of some friends we got our free cupcakes but it was disappointing :( 
I was thinking of ordering it before I knew about the promo but I decided otherwise cause I'm not really interested but since it's free, why not? Too bad the cupcakes was almost criminal. The taste is plain, the texture's too thick and hard, like an overnight cake. Sorry, but the cupcakes just doesn't work for me. At least, it looks good?

By the way, about the minimum IDR 150K promo, we made it because there're also some drinks that we ordered, like hot chocolate, etc but didn't get to take the photos cause as I said, this was way before I thought I was gonna have my own blog. And I'm really thankful to everyone that supported this idea.

  
AFFOGATO IDR 28K
Vanilla ice cream with espresso.
My friends were also a sweet freak so they ordered this. It was plain ice cream + espresso, nothing more nothing less. Not a huge fan of coffee, but I like the ice cream. My friend said it was good though.

To sum it up, I guess the only dish I really like is the chicken steak, maybe they're specialty is the main course rather than desserts. The portion here is not much though, so if you're anything like me, you'd want to order 2 menus before you can call yourself full. There's actually an outdoor seat here, but when I came it was raining so I couldn't take the photos there.
