Pappa Jack Kopitiam

Yesterday me and David went to Pappa Jack Kopitiam, a new kopitiam joint which just opened recently near my house area. I always saw it's parking lot packed with cars at night. I don't know whether they serve good food or it's just the new place hype, but it does attract my curiosity. 

It turns out that this joint is Pappajack's second branch, while the first one is located at Sunter. The place is spacious, it is a two storeyed building with a large void at the front part. The interior was dominated with bricks and large windows, along with black furnitures. 

As expected of Kopitiam, they served coffees, teas, peranakan cuisines, and light foods such as toast bread and limited choice of dim sum. It was said that their specialty is the steamed bread with chicken curry, but I doubted the taste will match one another, so I'll just skip it for now and ordered these instead.

Iced Coffee Cham Milo (IDR 21.000) and Iced Lemon Honey (IDR 18.000)

The Iced Coffee Cham Milo is a combination of Coffee, Tea, Fresh Milk, and Milo in one glass. For me the coffee taste was too dominant that I can't find the tea flavor in it. Meanwhile, the Iced Lemon Honey was quite satisfying with balanced taste of sweet and sour.

Bakmi Sapi Cincang (IDR 36.000)

Thin and curly noodles, minced beef, fish cakes, and also bean sprouts. David has always loved bean sprouts, no wonder he ordered this dish. I personally quite like it too. Combined all together, there's the sweet and savory taste of the beef, also the crunchiness from the bean sprouts and richness from the broth.

Dry Curry Mee with Chicken Curry (IDR 33.000)

This dish took FOREVER to come out. It has been long after David finished his dish, and mine hasn't come yet. We kept asking the waiter, and they could only say sorry politely and told us it will be served soon. Luckily  the taste was not disappointing. Bold and spicy chicken curry met the thick noodle that cooked into perfection, what more could you expect?

Will I be back? Sure. Well the service still needs some improvements, but what they served to us was a good start to take our heart and satisfy our belly. And plus, it took less than 5 minutes to get there from my house. So 'til we meet again, Pappajack!

My Kopi O

Last week, I joined my mom and dad to go to my dad's factory at night to do some general checking. It was already late when it's done, and we were getting hungry. Since my dad's factory located in Tangerang, we decided to grab some food in Living World, Alam Sutera.

Unlike the other malls, Living World provided late night dining for the costumers. All the restaurants in the Ground Floor open until midnight, and they also had various selections. After a short walk, we decided to try My Kopi O. 

I first heard of this place from wanderbites, he wrote a good review for this restaurant that i suddenly remembered it when we passed by. And also, my mom always like kaya toast, so there we were.

Since it was already late, me and my dad decided to share a bowl of spaghetti mamak, and my mom, as usual, ordered the kaya toast.

Spaghetti Mamak

I'm glad we decided to share it, since it comes in a large portion. It was a spaghetti sauteed with sliced beef, eggs, tomatoes, and bean sprouts. I love the bean sprouts, it gave the crunchiness for the spaghetti, but i think noodles suits better than spaghetti for this kind of food. Spaghetti is just to rough.

Kaya Toast

I like this kaya toast better than Kopitiam's, simply because they didn't combine the kaya toast with french fries (which I thought a wierd combination), and because they used two slices of bread, instead of dividing a slice of bread into two and put the kaya jam in the middle. It becomes too thin in my opinion.

And also, the kaya jam was also more delicious and sweet-scented, because they combined it with pandan somehow. The bread was also perfectly toasted.

It's too bad Living World is kinda far. I will definitely be a loyal customers for the kaya toast if they opened an outlet near my house. :p

Kopitiam

Hello! Long time no blog! You know if i'm not writing, it means i already have another writing assignments. Haha.

So, now i'm actually in the middle of long holiday, so there's a lot of time to share with my family and friends. If i have nothing to do, usually i hang out with my mom, just take a walk for window shopping, or do the actual shopping. After a long walk, we usually find a place to sit and have snack (or maybe dinner), and Kopitiam is one of our favourite.

We usually go for Kopitiam with the red circle logo, they have their outlet at Mall Taman Anggrek, Central Park, Gandaria City, and more. My mother loves their Traditional Kaya Toast (22k). Their kaya jam is different from the others, its soft and delicious. And it comes with french fries, which i thought not a good combination. I just think they're not meant together, sweet bread with salty fries. But its ok, both of them are delicious when you eat it separately.

As for my dishes, i always order their Mamak Mee Goreng (36k). Its a fried noodles malaysian style, which used fried tofu and potato inside. Noddles with potato is a genius! I looove it. 

But i got bored lately, so on my last visit, i ordered something else. It's Char Kuey Teow (36,5k), and it became my new favourite. The kuey teow are small and chewy, and the spice was just perfect. Definitely will order that again for my next visit. :)

Btw, on my last visit, my father joined us for dinner, and his dish was Nasi Lemak Chicken (33,5k). I tried it but i think it's just standard. Not bad, but not as good as my kuey teow.
