This blog however is so much easier to be found through google by typing TGIFoodLovers in the search engine and in the other hand the website is not showing up.

Errrr

A little bit pricey

tea start 40k by lewis and carol
for sandwiches / burger (I visited on pay as u like day and they didn't put the price in the menu)

Taste :
To be honest the coffee and soda drink were good.
I cannot drink too much coffee and don't understand much about it but at least I am able to differ good coffee and bad coffee without sugar (thx to my dad and my bro the coffee lovers)





The taste of the iced coffee was refreshing, the milk was not too much and I was able to tasted the coffee itself, not sour just how I like it.













The lemon bitter (I don't remember exactly the name, it was not in the menu at that time, they suggested it because I want some thing non coffee. So refreshing, not too sweet, not too sour, the soda was just right.

The iced coffee, short machiato and lemon bitter



Short machiato, I can tell that the after taste of the coffee was good, it didn't make a weird sour taste in my mouth

chicken sandwich
hmm... The bagel was a little bit hard to chew and the crunchy chicken katsu didn't meet a good combination with the other element (hard meet hard urgh) The texture was not too good for a sandwich













Yaki Shabu Sandwich 
I prefer to call it yaki shabu burger, as you can see it is more like a burger right?
this one was so much better than the chicken sandwich, the beef was tender and tasteful. I can say the texture was a good match with the other element, not all were crunchy so tender met something more solid and that was nice. I can say I was quite in love with this.
hmm one thing that needs an improvement is the way they served the sliced tomato, I think it will be better to put it inside the burger so people with eat it together as a whole and not forgetting it.

Overall in love with the menu and the interior and the nice smiley people there.
The owner is still young but he knew how to treat the customers :)

Good luck for the new coffee shop.

Coffee is my favorite smell after flowers

My Favorite Breakfast in Japan

Hello hello hello..
I always start my story with hello so I kinda feel like interacting with you readers :) yes with a smile

First of all, FYI I went to Japan on Spring and the story is kinda late but I hope you still enjoy reading this.

So I went to Japan for 9 days from March 31 to April 09, 2016 so It was Spring season. That is why I could find flowers blossom here and there like everywhere! So lovely <3

 Unfortunately I discover that I am allergic to pollen, my eyes were swollen, and kinda having trouble with my respiratory system. At that time, I went to the nearest drug store and ask for allergic medication, however I did not want to let the allergy disturb my holiday. I took the medicine 2-3 times daily and always fell asleep in the train or in other places after, AHA! a good thing actually, it helped me to add sleeping time.

Okay, shortly I overcome my allergy and really enjoy my holiday in Japan.
Back to how I start my day every morning in Japan : " HAVING BREAKFAST!"

Lets say I had my favorite breakfast menu and it was totally different with my breakfast menu in daily life. Can you guess what it was?

Well it was not only one menu, but several! I ate like a bear preparing for hibernation.
FYI, It had been a healthy holiday cause I walked a lot like really far, my phone recorded about 19.000 to 26.000 + each day! In the other hands my daily walking goal only around 6.000 per day
can you imagine that?! I got a severe pain for my knees and I barely cannot walk so I used cab for several times :p for the last couple days

A lot of walking and that was kinda gave me an excuses to eat more and I didn't gain a single digit on my weight! ^ ^

1. CURRY















2. Pancake















3. Sausages and ham
4. Yoghurt
















5. Cereal, oatmeal and fresh milk

6. Bread

Those are my favorite breakfast menu.

Those food were special, I usually eat rice or vermicelli for my daily breakfast at home. I usually having stomachache if I eat those kind of food as my breakfast but when I go abroad I can accept almost everything and my stomach will cooperate very well. Everything good even after eating ramen and dairy products.
This kind of thing makes me confuse, is it the food quality in Indonesia that I need to question or what?!













My companion :

I am missing you my Japanese breakfast menu! T_T

Kickass Coffee Works BSD

KickAss Coffee Works

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

Toast & Dine


Address : 
Ruko Beryl 1, No. 26
JL. Gading Gold Boulevard, Gading Serpong, Tangerang
+62 81318465618

dress code : casual to semi formal
Price : 
drinks : 20k+
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.
