DANCING GOAT COFFEE PURI

See! Told ya the newly opened coffee shops in West Jakarta are mostly located at Puri area! Here's yet another one and it's called Dancing Goat. Their exact location is actually in line with Puri Bugar. Yes, it's around that shophouse area!

HOG'S BREATH CAFE INDONESIA

Howdy! I was craving for a simple western delicacy as I got to this little steak house! Located across the Tribeca Park within the Central Park Mall, this place looks like a hidden paradise as it's located a bit at the corner. Since in my opinion there aren't many "great" culinary destinations in Central Park, this one quite intrigued me, so voila! Here we are!

Simple North American style interior with a steak house concept: friendly with some red color accent and tourist-friendly ornaments! Bar concept with wooden stools, brick walls and wooden ceilings as well as flooring.. Interesting start!

Actually, Hog's Breath is already an international brand as there are many other outlets in Australia and Singapore, ever since its founding in 1989. This is their first outlet in Indonesia!

The American signature stays at the neon light display though! Also with the intriguing statement: we'll see if they'll prove it true!

If you watch some American TV series like Friends or How I Met Your Mother, you'd be familiar with this scene. This is what they call 2nd home, where best buddies gather and have a lot of fun and create history!

This is what I'm telling you about "tourist friendly": I think directional ornaments with plate numbers that signifies car traffic are cute!

Tour posters with its best elements! Drawn with the best comical style, this place really speaks home for any traveler. A place that packs lots of memories altogether!

Good food, good friends, what else could we expect?

MINESTRONE SOUP (part of lunch set package)
Alright, let's start off with the basic first! Minestrone, a tomato based soup with a slice of grilled bread. Not so kick-ass but proper. Have to admit that I'm no big fan of tomato soup for its sour taste and despite the freshness of its taste, I can't bring myself to really love it.

CURLY FRIES (Part of Jumbo Combo)

I'm totally into curly fries rather than the regular french fries!! I don't really know what their main difference really is, but the base seasoning is already quite different. Love the texture as it's usually more crunchy and tasty.

JUMBO COMBO IDR 149k

Well, what must I say? Nothing's really new here, except that the whole plate are all well cooked. The killer's in the sauce though! Deep fried dishes everywhere would taste more or less the same and this is what they make up for: two sauces with two distinctive characters, one creamy, another spicy.

CALAMARI
Starting off with this one. The good thing about this one is that it hardly ever fails! Chewy squid that's salty and crunchy, just don't forget to dip it into the creamy tartar sauce!

STUFFED POTATO SKIN

topped with melted cheese and stuffed with beans and ground meat. I didn't really like it since the potato skin wasn't crispy and there's still a quite thick portion of potato on the cut, making it more like just stuffed potato. Melted cheese is always good, but I think the beans didn't go well together.

PRAWN SPRING ROLLS

Tastes more like fried prawns instead of fully filled spring rolls I expected to be. This one isn't one of my favorites on the whole plate, but still proved to be quite good.

CHICKEN WINGS
Crispy skin with rich and salty flavor! This is the type of fried dish that I love. Might be borderline though, some of my friends think that it's too oily while for me it's still good.

MONTERREY CHEESE STICKS
This is just a classic favorite! I don't have any significant preferences between monterrey cheese and mozzarella, as I'm crazy about cheese! This one counts as well: crispy battered cheese is a blend of flavor and texture. Yum!

PRAWN AGLIO OLIO IDR 88k
(set package: IDR 100k+ with minestrone and iced tea)
Traditional spaghetti tossed in a sliced garlic, sliced chilies, tomato, white wine infused olive oil topped with fresh grilled prawns

Okay okay, if you've been following my posts you're gonna see a lot of aglio olios! Yep, I'm such a big fan of it and it's been a habit to order one! This one is certainly not a disappointment, so flavorful! Cooked perfectly al dente, The uses of salt, chili flakes, and garlic are so great, making a beautiful plate of wonder. Fresh prawns, certainly, and also a good share of portion.

BLUE CHEESE PRIME RIB STEAK IDR 218k (Lite Cut)
Prime rib steak seared on the char-grill and then topped with house blue cheese ranch dressing

Here is the main thing: The best a steak can get! I ordered a medium well cooked steak yet what I encountered was a really tender, juicy steak that made me drool all over! Great quality of meat and I totally love the blue cheese ranch dressing, only that the mushroom sauce was a bit ordinary and diluted. Other than that it's still a great quality steak!

Quite a pleasant lunch! I had a really good time here, too bad there weren't so many of us since we'd like to order more menus! However, the steak as its signature dish was great and so was the pasta. Might not be able to get anything grandiose with the fritters, but that's just how simple it goes with American steak house!

THE BAILEY'S AND CHLOE

The first post has finally been uploaded!! After working through the confusing settings, since this is our first time ever in making a blog, there are somethings that's still a bit complicated for us.

Well, moving on.

Are you looking for a good food and hang outs with a reasonable price? You're just in luck, cause today we're gonna tell you about this new cute homey little restaurant we found at Tanjung Duren.

The name of this place is The Bailey's and Chloe. They have 2 floors and the unique thing is that 1st floor is actually Chloe's and the 2nd floor is Bailey's. You can see it by their separate Wi-Fi's. The decor consist of a cute home look-a-like and mostly purple, with their iconic teddies picture hanged all over the wall. They also have a somewhat outdoor spot (you'll understand after you see the photos) and two clean bathrooms on each floor. The place is not really spacey but it's enough to enjoy a couple of yummy meals.

CHEEZY BOLSTER IDR 15K.

Squid roll stuffed with cheese.

This little buddy really packs a punch! Though it kinda taste like fish cakes (also known as Otak-Otak, an Indonesian traditional snack) with cheese. If you're looking for a light snack, this will definitely fulfill it's job.

OGLIO OLIO IDR 25K.

You can choose Spaghetti, Fettuccine, or Penne for the pasta. The price for pastas are all idr 25k. This dish was nice and it's not that oily like most Aglios. It's a bit spicy but still tolerable.

CARBONARA IDR 25K.

We recommend the Oglio Olio rather than the Carbonara though. It's not what we expect considering how good the Oglio Olio was, but it's still okay.

BAILEYS' FAVORITE IDR 30K.

Sausages, smoked beef, egg, chicken steak.

For all the western main course, you can choose between Fries, Mashed Potato, or Baby Potatoes. The salads was actually good, it's not tasteless nor bitter like most salads that has Radicchio lettuce in it.

CHICKEN GRILL STEAK IDR 28K.

This is mostly like Baileys' Favorite minus the smoked beef and egg, probably, it's just a guess though.

And finally, the highlight of this place is these 3 sweeties. 

Not only do they look marvelous, they also taste delish. Starting from the left are : 

Pomegranate Yogurt IDR 15K, Ice Cream Fritte IDR 18K, and finally Cookies and Cream IDR 15K. We definitely recommend the Cookies and Cream for those who just loves sweets like us.

And the queen of today's review is this!

ICE CREAM FRITTE for only IDR 18K.

We highly recommend this! It's our all time favorite. The whipped cream is not tasteless but sweet, there's peach slices, marshmallows, corn flakes, strawberries, pudding, and jelly on the bottom. Simple yet heavenly.

Told ya the prices are reasonable. This place also just opened up a few weeks ago. The service here is just lovely, they're all full of smiles and always ready to serve.

That is all~ Thank you for reading!
