WHAT SHALL WE EAT?

of foods on film, some more foods and other stuffs.
waffle o waffle I’m more of a pancake girl than a waffle enthusiast. Mostly because I don’t like the crispiness (hard egdes of a dry waffle to be exact). But the waffle from Gelare is an exception for me. They’re softer and smell better (must be something to do with the batter), plus an additional scoop of ice cream (cookies and cream as pictured here), they blend well. They melt in your mouth. An important quality, at least for me. P.S. I remember seeing Beyonce wore this pink Chanel Waffle Sweater on a Vogue Photo shoot and boy, it looks great! Imagined it as this soft and buttery strawberry waffle (to topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream). HOT! Waffle - Gelare

Chocopresso This was not made out of powdered cocoa nor your ordinary Ovaltine/ Milo nor cheap sachet chocolate drink. This one was made from melted chocolate bar + a kick of espresso. I got your attention now, huh? Detention Room Ruko Crown Golf Blok D #28, Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta - Indonesia

visitting granny…

Entering the restaurant felt like entering granny’s house. A very girly & homey surroundings will greet you. This was taken last October when I had lunch at Beatrice Quarters.

I had John Dory with butter rice underneath (the fish was more on a salty side but still enjoyable) and afterwards, for the dessert, we shared this big portion of chocolate bliss danish honey toast - seriously though, it’s so big - with chocolate flakes, vanilla ice cream, and custard cream on top.

What I love about the place is the portion - not too big it makes you bloated, not too small it upsets you - the friendly taste and of course the cute decoration. On the other hand though, I find the place a bit hot (could it be just something to do with the aircon?)

A comfort food in a comfort place, I must say. Do visit when you’re in the hood.

Chicken Katsu Curry Rice -Tokyo Belly as promised (tho a little late), here’s my review on Tokyo Belly. We were strolling on Grand Indonesia that fine Saturday morning, to catch this special discount from this particular shop, anyhow we failed. And so next thing to do is to find a comfort food. This place, previously named Mr. Curry is now called Tokyo Belly. The menu is still similar, what’s with the curry and the omurice and all. Well, we decided to give it a shot. I’m in for curry rice, they have this several levels of spiciness (an odd ones I might add - as I recall they put very spicy after mild/ medium spicy, ummm, where’s the just spicy one go?), so this one was very spicy (and indeed it is VERY spicy). But the taste was good, way better than the curry from Mr. Curry. The curry was rich in flavor and very delicious, matched well with the hot steamed rice and the chicken katsu. The waitresses are quick to respond (again unlike Mr. Curry) and the sake drinks are awesome. But when i went back there last Saturday (at around 8.15 PM), we were told to put our name on the waiting list (an odd thing for there were 30% empty tables on the restaurant.) The waitress was saying something like they were waiting for the all the food to be served first before letting new tables occupied and something about the kitchen, I didn’t quite understand to be exact. So off we went to find another place with 30% empty tables and no waiting list. But, yeah, I’ll come back some other time Tokyo Belly!
