Cargo Bar & Lounge

Let me introduce you the newest additional around Pesanggerahan area, where it is begin to develop with rows of restaurants and any other culinary stations. Cargo is a bar, restaurant, a place to chill out on the sideline or after streaks of hectic routines. Sandwiched between relieve and cranky for the non-smokers, like me. Because this place is a full smoking area. Looking on the bright side, hey.. they have smoke filters which is quite effective, i must say. How about the food? Keep scrolling down, mate.

DBD : Detained Birthday Dinner

For not so particular reasons, birthday moments always excites me.. It's not about the glittery gold parties or beautiful wrapped gifts. For me, a birthday is a friendly reminder to be the better me. A day to share some happiness by treating the loves one, grateful i am having them through good and bad, up and down..Thank God who gave me another year to make right what i've done wrong..

Steakology : Seven Wonders of Sauces

People, they keep and keep using foreign products as their raw and main materials while there's one humble looking steak house in Tebet area stand strong using local meats as their ideology. Steakology as they called, which is owned by a group of friends including Tantri from Kotak Band and Prabu Revolusi in it. As a guy who now never watches any television programs, i don't know who Prabu Revolusi is, but to look at him personally, this guy has tough charisma and hopefully the steaks aren't as tough as him. 

Mustache Me

Not too far from Ninotchka another dessert diner has emerged in Citra Garden 6 housing complex. The name Mustache Me surely piqued my curiosity, it appeared not only me who intrigued. A friend of mine braved a stressful jam and floods from Gading-Citra just to took a peek by herself what this mini restaurant is all about. I love how the place was being humble, homey yet cozy at the same time and (hopefully) the munches are worth the traffic. 

Bluegrass Bar & Grill

It was Friday and i was looking a place to indulge myself despite all the boredom because my bestie is on her trip to Bangkok for a whole month. So, i decided to made a reservation at Bluegrass a good looking restaurant strategically located just across Otel Lobby. It appeared that Bluegrass is under reconstruction or something. From afar, that fancy looking entrance of it didn't gave any signs. So, i got confuse a little bit. But, there we were, with hungry tummy looking something good to munch.

Coffee Time at Monolog

Monolog is .... a....well , already rather old yet very well-known coffee bar at Plaza Senayan face-to-face with La Luce , those who often visits Southern area must be familiar with this place . Fell in love with its location that you can see an appealing wooden touches everywhere from in front of Monolog and others neighboring restaurants . Ambiance-wise , Matching and synch colors in harmony . Monolog has its own magnet to make ( at least ) for me to come over again and again .

Maja House

Dying after tiring routines ? Need a sweet escape ? Getting bored of Jakarta ? Go Bandung . Maja House is a bar , restaurant , and my friend said that this hip venue will transform into a nightclub on weekends . Located far from city boisterousness actually the street isn't that peaceful . But Maja is . One of my most favorite spot at Bandung after The Peak .

Actually Maja House divided into 2 parts : Maja Suki , Sugar & Cream . But the one am gonna recap here is the Sugar & Cream .

Maja House offering an astonishing view especially during the night , because the lighting will spark the place to a classy venue with that view which rarely you can find at Jakarta and of course Bandung cold yet refreshing air that will relaxing your body and mind even for a while. But , i remind you to bring something warm there . Or you can rent the blanket for IDR : 15.000 . One of the waiter told me when i went to the restroom.

I was transfixed and amazed this place for a while due to the how good this place was and almost forgot to mention it was spacious . Interior which is dominated by wooden , similiar with Union , Loewy , and the list goes on . This concept is somehow like worldwide ? But i do enjoy the warmness , coziness , and the nuance offered by it. Although its official website amazed me more .

I decided to save my tummy for later . Because you know . I've made the must to go & eat list already . It's not like i am saying this place isn't worth to eat . You know there's always method a called : Friendtasters :P . So , i just ate whatever my friends ordered . and lucky me they were also full already . So they asked me to helped them . You didn't have to tell me . I'll do it . With pleasure

Chicken Augratine

Grilled Norwegian Salmon

Grilled Chicken Mushroom

Apple Mojito

The foods were already in a medium high price range . But still what i love about Bandung is their hip and happening venues offered lower prices compared to what we have here at Jakarta . Medium high but seriously it's worth for what you eat and that tranquility sensation from Maja House.

Chicken Augratine was my favorite . The chicken wasn't that mushy and not that tough .topped with melted mozzarella cheese and some kind of BBQ sauce under the chicken .The potatoes was perfectly cooked suited to my taste . And i proudly can tell the potatoes were high quality potatoes .

Grilled Norwegian Salmon was my less favorite . First of all , i am not a seafood lover and the salmon itself still had that fishy thingy . My friend told me you can't totally exterminate that fishy thingy from salmon no matter how much lemonades you used. I wasn't sure , i thought maybe an expert could do that. Nonetheless it came in a beautiful presentation . Lovey dovey

Grilled Chicken Mushroom . Like your usual , ordinary , and mediocre chicken steak without the skin. Tasted just ok. Not special . I loved the mushrooms , it was tasty beautifully blended with the sauce . yum ..

Apple Mojito by Sugar & Cream by far is my most favorite compared to the other apple mojitos i ever tried before . Sweet & refreshing .

And what's pathetic I do ordered something called : Momento . But i didn't even knew how it looks . Because it didn't came . And i wasn't in that mood to asked where my order was ... Although i was pretty sure the waiter was noted it already *sniff

I am very very recommending you to go here when you are at Bandung . This place is epic

And lastly . Sorry for this narcissistic pic i tucked up in this post .
