Dress Code :

Price : range from 10k for drinks and 50 + for food

Recommendation : 
Prawn Brazillian Gremolata with Paela rice

My Story :

So that day, I went there with 3 foodies friends
We decided to meet on weekdays after working hours because one of them wanted to tell her love story. So let say it was an urgency :D
In the other hands, this place at that time was brand new and we would like to make a food review about it. (if you remember, I have told you before that I am a reviewer at pergikuliner.com too )

I arrived too early so I waited for couple minutes and decided to order first. I order prawn brazillian gremolata with paela rice. So basically it was a yellow rice ( Europian style : consisted of raisin yumm my fav ) and cooked prawn with coriander, parsley, garlic and strong lemon flavor. That was totally my kind of food.

For a girl like me with a big appetite, the portion matched me.
I got a happy tummy after eating

Actually at that time, there were several promotional menu but they didn't offer it to me. I realized it as soon as my friends order that promotional menu for only 20k including ice tea. erghhh
However that still a good thing that I didn't order the promotional menu because the meat was too little and the taste was like heaven vs earth if I compared it with my original non promotional menu.

To eat here, it is better for you to prepare at least 100k to eat and drink.

Payment : cash only

Interior : simple and a the space is a little bit small , ac

Exterior : shop house

Wifi available with plucks

What I  have tried : quiche, chicken mushroom puff, salted egg croissant , colombia geisha coffee, london fog

The quiche was so soft it was almost melted in my mouth but some how i prefer the croissant and the puff was the best.

The croissant had a good texture which crunchy in the outside but the salted egg still soft in the inside. The salted egg was not too creamy but quite  firm
 .
 Instead of runny like others it gave you more real salted eeg sensation with a little taste of nutty

However the puff was the best for me.

The layer of the puff was amazing. It had enough layers on top and plenty of chicken and mushroom inside. The chicken and mushroom itself had the precise quantity of cream and not mushy. The mushroom and chicken real textures were there blended like heaven.

For the drinks , i must say that day was one of my most historical day in my life
.
After a very long break of coffee finally i was able to enjoyed almost half cup of it. The taste of colombia geisha was a quite sour and little bitter with not too strong aroma but still nice. The best part it didn't make my stomach upset in a blink.
Usually coffee makes my stomach in real upset condition right after tasting it.

But not this one. It was good 😀

Another recommended drink as they called it signature drink was london fog. They said it was a mixture of tea and vanilla .. the taste wasn't too strong because it used ice. I think the ice shrinked the tea and vanilla. Hopefully the hot one will be better.

Overall it was nice and I want to come back specially for the pastries. ( as I am not a coffee expert I would like to apologize that I cannot give you a lot of review about it :) )

Hello there !
It has been a quite long time since my last review about toast & dine.
But still, you can get more updated information on my instagram @caca_ietcha or through www.pergikuliner.com/caca_ietcha
In this review I will not show you complete picture about the ambiance tho but I will give you sneak peak about some good ice cream not just ordinary but something unique and special.




Kick Ass literally means kicking real ass and your can see it in their symbol

They serve coffee and ice cream when I went there but now expanding to chicken wings.
The ice cream itself was quite special because they have a lot of unique flavors. The ice cream makers is Hubble scoops. It served around 16 flavors, some are okay, some are weird and some are delicious.
So here they are.

I forget the actual name but remember the taste

It was kiwi with dragon fruit, coffee latte with oreo, butter pop corn, chocolate and lavender

Before making decision which ice cream you want, you can ask the barista to give you the samples. You can try all the flavor but I suggest not to, it will makes you more confused in making decision. 

I tried breakfast at tiffany's made of vanila and beef bacon ! yeah you can chew the bacon to while eating the ice cream :p the taste is sweet and unique but didn't match my taste. 

Kiwi with fruit dragon : this one is for you who prefer sorbet or fruity flavor. The flavor of both fruits, surprisingly dominant equally. Once it was so sour but taste the original taste of dragon fruit also still there. 

Butter popcorn : this is for you popcorn lovers. It gave me the feeling of watching movie in the theater. The burn taste of popcorn was very real!

Coffee -oreo : the taste of coffee was very dominant in sweet dark way

Lavender : the taste of lavender is strong, tasted like drinking lavender tea with milk and I love it, I can say this one is my favorite. I like flower and tea so It was a good combination :)

Chocolate : like the other chocolate :) match for people who love classic taste

The coffee was nice, you can control the sugar by yourself by adding sugar cane or brown sugar. But I like it dark without any sugar added. You can taste the real taste of the coffee

for the coffee I only try a sip from my friends; cup. The good thing, you can add the sugar cane or brown sugar by yourself. For me, I prefer not to add anything else in my coffee. I like it original and dark as it is. you can taste the coffee better. :)

definitely gonna come back again here to try the homemade chicken wings .. 

Ice cream is something I cannot refuse! - me-

toast & dine - feels like home

dress code : casual to semi formal
Price :

food   : 40+







Menu : 

don't have too much option











Have you ever visited a cafe or a restaurant that makes you feel so comfortable and you forget that you are in a public space?
Toast and dine is a new spot in Gading Serpong near Gading Golf that makes me feel like that.
Luckily me and 2 of my friends visited this place on weekday, on Wednesday to be precise. I arrived around 05.30pm and we stay there until 08.00pm.. The place was silent, and I can say it was like we owned the place.

Date of visit : Wednesday, November 18, 2015

The interior was so cozy with different non identical furniture for each spot and we chose the best seat which facing the pc screen. we can choose our own favorite songs to be played in the cafe through a pc and magnificent speakers (at the end we realized that the sound was echoing in the street outside the cafe :p). We played some latest favorite songs from youtube and karaoke-ing by reading the lyrics.

You also can find some plugs behind the sofa .. no need to fight for plugs to charge your phone :P




It was a very good time. We also had a voice call with our best friend Anastasia who moved to Canada last September, too bad the wifi connection was not too good. So when the music played and got interrupted , the voice call also interrupted at the same time :(. The worst thing was my note 5 could not connect the wifi, so we were using the iphone 6s for the voice call. I don't know what was the problem. was it the wifi or the device.. but my other friend with the iphone 5 also didn't use the wifi.

See they mixed the lighting between warm and cold light so the room is not too yellow or too bright.. good choice ^_^

Okay, back to the food. I ordered a whole of cheese and bacon pizza along with iced milo. My friend Fifi only ordered a whole cheese pizza (she is a vegetarian so we actually order the same menu but hers was the one without meat), and Eren only order her favorite drink iced tea KC (teh tarik). I ate the most right ?! :p
the pizza was magnificent, with the thin crust, the cheese and the bacon, it was creating a great taste. Even when the pizza getting cold, it tasted incredible .. moist and delicious. I was able to eat the whole portion even though my cheek was swollen due to wisdom tooth operation the previous night.
The milo itself was good enough, not too sweet and not too cold.


My companion : 
I was having so much fun with my junior high mates Eren and Fifi.
Too we didn't take a wefie, but we posted some moments to snapchat :d

Bubur ayam Chibby - Brewok's

Bubur Ayam Chibby

Address : 
Summarecon Digital Center Mall (SDC Serpong)
Scientia Square Park, Brewok's, Gading Serpong
Serpong- Tangerang, Indonesia

Phone : 
N/A

Dress code : 
casual comfortable

Exterior : 
no walls only roof - using wood chart

Interior : 
I can say this is a food court but without AC.
When you are about to pay for your food, you must purchase for a top up card.

The menu : 
Chicken porridge (using preserve salty vegetable) price IDR 13k
Bakmoi chicken porridge  (using tofu and chicken) Price IDR 16k

My order : 
Bakmoi chicken porridge

 I usually dislike porridge because it is identical with sick people and I get hungry easily if I only eat porridge. When I do eat porridge it means I am ill or my mom bought it for my breakfast (no other choice)

For this porridge I can say this is not for sick people.. They served the porridge with fried wonton, fried cakwe and firm boiled egg, and savory chicken and tofu.
At that time I felt sick , that's why I ordered this and I can say I eat soft rice instead of porridge..
This is a meal for healthy people..

But the taste was quite good and crunchy like eating porridge with crackers.

Health is not valued till sickness comes.

My visit :
actually this place has been opened for more than 5 months.
I saw this place several times but didn't get a chance to try as soon as possible and to be honest I forgot about this place until my friends said they were going to this place while I was about to go to my elementary school birthday shower as a host.

On Sunday, October 25, 2015, my family and I were looking for something to eat as our dinner like usual. We were about to eat other food in the first place but then suddenly I remember this place that my friends were talking about and they said the chicken mandhi was great. So I was curious and proposed this place as our dinner place.

The place was nice, when I entered the restaurant, I can say the place is small but need and tidy also warm.
The owner and the waitress greet us with their warm smile and escort us to our table.
When I looked at the menu, I can say the price was quite high. When they say briyani rice it means only rice no meat at all. and if they say lamb/chicken mandi or briyani means including the rice.

For our visit we tried several menu. My mom and my sister in law ordered chicken shawarma it was like chicken wrap but more rich in spices. Ulalaaa I love spices..

My dad ordered chicken curry (yeah no rice). The chicken curry was also great. The chicken was so tender and I love the soup. I even ate my french fries with the soup! Oh it was great.. And don't forget to eat the curry with bread (is it prata? I don't know it was a little different with my prata for chicken marocco)

My Brother ordered Lamb Briyani. Oh the briyani was really tasty! It wasn't dry but it wasn't too moist either. The spices were WOWWWW.. The meat also easy to chew..

And for me, I ordered CHICKEN MAROCCO and sambosa !
Sambosa for the appetizer and chicken marocco for the main course. Actually I would love to have chicken mandhi but the mandhi was sold out and the briyani only 3 portion left ( my bro ordered it so I ordered something else).
The sambosa was crunchy outside but so mild inside with great curry spices. You will get 3 pcs per portion and you will ask for more!

For the best of the best.. I present you CHICKEN MAROCCO.. from all the menu that I have mentioned to you above.. my family agreed that mine was the best.. I even ate the chicken skin ! OMG! ( I dislike chicken skin but after such a very berry long time I ate it! because the spices were all over the chicken skin and it tasted so d*mn great! ) *screaminggg*

And for additional : It is very rare occasion for me to eat with my bare hands but that time was an exceptional.. I didn't use the fork or knife or spoon.. Arghh I found greatness in this middle east food.
I want it again ! You really need to try this restaurant...


You know you eat good food when you don't care the way you look while eating it and the only one matter is how to eat it all...

My visit : 
Wohoo I got a treat from a very good friend,, let say that was my happy lunch. I got a permit to go outside my work place in the middle of the day. That was really a rare occasion. I am not able to go out during working hours from 8am to 5 pm and need special permit to go out.

Personally the best pho I have ever tasted was PHO 2*** but it is not available in Tangerang area. Pho 24 is the only pho restaurant nearby so there is no other choice to enjoy pho here.
I must say the interior was really nice and comfortable to eat there in the middle of hot and sunny weather.

For appetizer, we ordered fresh spring roll with shrimp. huft.. I got disappointed from the beginning :(.. the spring roll didn't come out like I expected. The spring roll skin were too tough to eat.. need extra effort to bite and pretty much I could hear my jaws moving and gave extra work to chew T_T... and the color of the outer look wasn't red like the one in the menu. I couldn't find the shrimp! T_T whyyy phoo 24.. whyyyy

those are the pics of my pale and tough spring roll :(

Okay, lets continue to main course.. the PHO.. jreng jreeenng

I bought Pho Tai Chin and my friend got Pho all 

Pho Tai Cin means : pho noodles with beef meat only.. and for pho all means : all beef meat, soft tendon and meat ball.. I only eat meat and dislike tendon and meat ball., so that's why I didn't choose PHo all. 

Too bad the pho broth was too plain for me. I added the sauce and others but still couldn't get the taste that I want. Actually it is healthy for us to eat less savory food.. less salt for our body and maybe less of MSG :p .. yeah but it is all about taste right? maybe I just like it savory... 

 Pho all, for 52k before tax

including meat, tendon and meatball

Pho Tai Cin 47k
The broth are all the same for all pho, the toppings make it different

for companion, they also gave us lime, chopped green chili, fresh bean sprout, chopped onion, and green vegetables. Also you can add the special vietnamese sauce into your pho to make it more rich in flavour.. hehehe. In your table they also served you salt and chili sauce. 

I can say the meat was tender and I like it :D

After appetizer and main course, here comes the dessert! 

What a great lunch it was ^_^

bye bye hot air for a while,, and here comes the breeze.. hehehe

as you can see here, it was dominated by jelly. the fruit they were using was peach and lychee. (I believe from a can) 

the taste was refreshing from the lime and the shaved ice.. arghh it was good.. and I think I need to eat something like this more often. It gave me a comfortable feeling for the brain and my body.. more full of spirit to do activities.. 

Thx u for my friends who gave me companion during lunch break and esp. the one who gave me treat.
