JOGJAKARTA: RUANG SEDUH JOGJAKARTA #RSJ

Blame me for being inconsistent in updating this blog, can't agree more, but I've been busy finishing my undergrad thesis and preparing for the thesis defence and comprehensive exam these past 3 months. Now that (thank God) I've passed those things, I'll try to be more consistent in posting things here.

This post is regarding my last visit to the newly opened coffee shop in the south area of Jogjakarta, Tirtodipuran, namely (RUANG SEDUH JOGJA). This place is originated from Jakarta, they had their first store in Kemang (knew this from one tv show last weekend)

 

Now I'll go to what I have on my few days ago visit to this place.

Entering the place, I suddenly greeted by the baristas by a warm and polite welcome because they didn't shout out like some other Restaurants out there LOL.

Just after that, one of the barista asked me what I would like to have. He explained to me that there are two kind of coffee that they serve, Milk-Based Coffee and Manual-Brew Coffee. The difference between those two is the milk-based will have milk incorporated to the drink and the other one is pure manually brewed coffee. As a person who don't really get along with pure coffee, I decided to have the milk-based one, Latté to be exact.

ALMOST  FORGET! What makes this place unique is we can learn to prepare our coffee, whatever you choose. The baristas will teach you how to pour the water, froth, and some other things related to preparing the coffee happily. They asked me to make one but I was too lazy to do, so I decided to let the best to do the job LOL.

For me, this place is the first most Instagenic coffee shop in Jogja. Everything is so simple and bright and white and monochromatic and I like it. White almost everything starting from wall to the chairs and coffee equipment, table glued to the wall, as I said before the place is not too big which good to enhance the "intimacy" in our talk. Everything is so good in this place, have no hesitation to visit this place again.

Done talking about the place, now I'm gonna talk about the coffee. I personally not a hard-core coffee drinker, I prefer "fake" coffee. By fake I mean creamy, but still got the aroma and not too bitter. A little bit of sugar is good as well. 

Unfortunately the latte that I ordered in this place is not as I expected. The consistency is too thin and no creamy at all. But the aroma and bitterness is perfect because the aroma is not overwhelming and the bitterness is somehow not punching right in my face.

And for the price, this place is somehow affordable. Beating my expectation. I thought that they will charge us around Rp 35.000 to Rp 50.000 for each cup but it's a BIG mistake. The price in this place is amazingly affordable referring to the nice place, warm-welcoming baristas, and unique features. They charge us around Rp 25.000 up to Rp 30.000 (if I'm not mistaken. Because my latté and friends' cappuccino was Rp 30.000 for each cup).

Too bad they don't serve any snacks yet. Perhaps in the future they will have snacks at least muffin or sliced brownie or even freshly baked pastries.

Finally I'm done blabbering! But don't ask me to stop, yes.

Anyway, suppose you have something in mind to be told to me about this post, please don't hesitate to leave a comment down there.

THANKS! :)

JOGJA: NASI GANDUL PAK BO

It's been a while I'm not sharing a thing, yes?

So tadi pagi saya sama beberapa temen melakukan ritual Jumat pagi, no it's not mystical related thing, ritual kita cuman cari makanan baru yang belum pernah dimakan sebelumnya. And here it is, kita cobain deh si Nasi Gandul Pak Bo!

Nasi Gandul sendiri itu makanan khas kota Pati, Jawa Tengah. Sebuah kota yang tidak terlalu besar namun tidak terlalu kecil, yang juga terkenal dengan seafood yang affordable dan enak! 

Let's get back to the 'it' of this post. Nasi gandul ini makanan yang cukup unik, hampir kayak nasi liwet tapi kuahnya lebih banyak dan gurih dan pake kecap. Juara sih kalo boleh dibilang nasi gandul ini. Definitely will become my alternative for breakfast! Ga berat ga too light, cocok lah!

Nasi Gandul Daging (13K) + Tempe (1K)

Nasi Gandul Telur (7K)

Nasi Gandul Daging Sebelum Disiram Kuah

Rekomendasinya sih jelas si nasi gandul daging. Dagingnya cukup banyak dan sangat empuk! Bikin tambah gurih lagi hehe. Ah hampir lupa! Buat kalian yang suka tipe tempe goreng tanpa tepung yang garing dan kering, gaboleh kelewat sih tempe goreng si pak Bo ini. Kacau! Bisa lupa udah ambil sekantong sendiri, haha. 

Gih yang pengen cobain nasi gandul, daripada jauh - jauh ke Pati, cobain dulu nasi gandul pak Bo yang ada di Jogja, di Terminal Condong Catur ini. Bukanya mulai pagi sampe jam 4, trus jam 5 baru mulai buka lagi sampe abis. Minggu tutup!

SURABAYA: CARPENTIER KITCHEN

Kalo ke Surabaya dan cari western food dengan rasa yang udah diadaptasi dengan rasa khas Indonesia dengan harga yang reasonable, CARPENTER KITCHEN jawabannya!

Carpentier Kitchen adalah restaurant yang punya konsep semi gallery-shop. Jadi restaurant ini jadi satu dengan ORE, nah ORE inilah si gallery-shopnya. ORE ini semacam toko dimana barang barang yang dijual tidak terlalu banyak tapi unik-unik. So kalo kalian pengen ke tempat makan yang bisa sekalian belanja atau sekedar cuci mata, ORE-Carpentier Kitchen inilah tempatnya.

Restaurant's Specialities!

Carpentier's Ultimate Burger (48k)

BEST PANCAKE I'VE EVER TASTED!!

Banana Pancake Carpentier (29k)

Dari semua makanan yang ada diatas, yang paling direkomendasikan adalah si Carpentier's Ultimate Burger dan Banana Pancake Carpentier. 

Untuk burger, pattynya so tebal and they know how to cook it well that makes it so juicy! caramelized onionnya yang juga manis dan gurih jadi satu! Sayurannya yang masih fresh, menambah kekayaan tekstur. Yang sangat disayangkan itu bunnya, kering. But still,  I'll give this dish two thumbs up lah! hehe.

Untuk si pancake, kalian musti coba pancakenya! So tebal and fluffy and soft. Cinnamon sauce ala carpentiernya juga enak! ga terlalu manis tapi masih nendang!

Tips: Temen bilang buat pancake, Chocolate Pancake with Nutella is something you should order. Tapi karena kemarin kenyang banget dan gabisa bayangin lagi makan pancake with Nutella all over it, pilihan jatuh ke Banana Pancake Carpentier yang juga tidak mengecewakan!

Tunggu apalagi, dateng aja ke Carpentier Kitchen buat kamu yang pengen nongkrong dan makan dan belanja di waktu yang bersamaan. Semua desire bisa terpuaskan di satu tempat :)

MARTABAK KUMKUM: TAKESUMI WITH OREO-CREAMCHEESE FILLING

Bukan Jogja namanya kalo dunia kulinernya ga cepet berkembang ikut jaman. Contohnya martabak manis, dulu martabak ini cuman punya isian kalo ga keju susu, coklat keju, coklat kacang keju, ya paling-paling coklat pisang keju. 

Beberapa waktu lalu, martabak mulai ada perkembangan dari segi penyajian yaitu disajikan seperti Pizza dan juga dari isian yang mulai dari chocolate spread kayak Nutella dan Ovomaltine, Speculoos, sampe ke snack kayak KitKat dan beberapa special variant dari TimTam. Setelah itu martabak manis berevolusi lagi, dari yang awalnya identik sama warna kuning, sekarang martabak manis udah tersedia banyak warna!

Salah satu contohnya ada di Martabak Kum Kum (IG: @martabakkumkum). Martabak stall ini punya macam-macam jenis martabak beserta isiannya. Yang dibawah ini, adalah Martabak Manis Takesumi With Oreo-Creamcheese Filling (80K). This martabak absolutely wins my heart! Karena creamcheese adalah spread yang paling saya suka, hehe, dan martabak lipat adalah martabak ter-perfect yang pernah ada dimuka bumi, don't you dare to mess up that form of martabak manis please :) 

Martabak Manis Takesumi On The Making

Music: Don't Wanna Dance (Darius Remix) - MØ

The Ultimate Form of Martabak Manis!

This martabak manis is worth every penny guys! Kalian ga basal nyesel kok, karna size yang ditawarkan cukup besar, 12 potong martabak yang satu orang makan 3 langsung klenger kalo bahasa Jawanya. Ditambah filling creamcheese yang tumpah ruah tapi ga mahteh (atau eneg). Dan manisnya juga ga overwhelming the creamcheese (kemarin request untuk ga pake cream putih yang ada ditengah oreo).

Selain martabak manis, Martabak Kum Kum juga punya martabak telur lho, jadi kalo yang bosen manis bisa nih dateng kesini buat makan yang asin, gurih, dan enak :)

So, kalo mau cari camilan (or dessert, as you wish) atau mau coba martabak dengan tampilan baru bisa datang kesini! Ke Martabak Kum Kum!

MIE AYAM ASLI BANDUNG, PASAR PATHUK

Pagi-pagi di Jogja pilihannya cuma dua, lanjut tidur atau cari makan. Tapi sayang dong kalo bangun siang, karna di Jogja, mulai dari sampe pagi lagi banyak makanan 'indah' buat di explore!

Pilihan makan pagi kali ini jatuh ke Mie Ayam Asli Bandung yang ada tepat di sebelah Pasar Pathuk.

Untuk yang belum terlalu ngerti Jogja, tempat ini cukup mudah dicari kok! Pergi aja ke jalan Malioboro, cari gang Beskalan, tepatnya gang yang ada toko Batik Margaria. Nah masuk aja lokasi si mie ayam ada hampir diujung gang.

Mie ayam merem melek (pedas-manis) (15k)

Mie ayam galore!

Mie ayam yang disediakan disini bukan mie ayam ala Jogja yang mienya lebar-lebar, disini varian mienya yang kecil. Untuk satu porsi mie ayam kalian bakal dapet semangkuk kuah beserta bakso yang sangat enak! Dan mie ayamnya sendiri yang ga kalah enak!

Menu: (1) Mie Ayam Manis, (2) Mie Ayam Asin, (3) Mie Ayam Pedas-Manis (or merem melek they call it here) atau Asin-Pedas, (4) Batagor, (5) Bubur Ayam, (6) Angsio Ceker, (7) masih banyak lagi! (maaf ga hafal satu persatu ya hehe)

Tips: Dateng sepagi mungkin mulai dari jam 8 supaya semua menu masih tersedia. Ask for cakue! (2K, each) and ask the Kokoh yang punya karna kalau minta ke mbak suka ga dikasih. Yang kurang bisa menerima pedas, please order 'pedas sedikit' for your own good, hehe.

So, dateng kesini ya kalo mau cobain mie ayam yang pedesnya nendang dipagi hari, sayang banget ke Jogja kalo makannya itu-itu aja :)
