Woodpecker Coffee Panglima Polim

I believe you need to be unique and have some characters if you want to be 'popular', especially when we are talking about coffee shop in Jakarta. Woodpecker Coffee is relatively new in Jakarta coffee scene. This coffee shop joins an array of coffee shops that already exist in Jakarta trying to satisfy all coffee lovers out there.

Trafique Coffee

Daily cup of coffee has become an unmissable lifestyle especially in this metropolitan city. It's like they have a ritual : go to a coffee shop, get one cup and take a sip (don't forget to take photos and upload it to Instagram) in order to be 'accepted by the society'. But whatever your purpose is, coffee is really nice to enjoy actually. I think my opinion just now is backed by many new coffee shops start brewing in Jakarta. Trafique Coffee is one new addition in this crowded Jakarta, in Kebayoran Baru to be precise.
The place should be easily found and recognized by its all-white brick painting, there's also an arrow sign just beside the street pointing to the place. Yet a logo/name sign would be easier to be found.

Djournal Coffee Puri Indah Mall

Hello, thank you for visiting The Foodglasses blog :).

We are still in the high hype of World Cup 2014. As the tournament approaches into the last 16, there are some (or many?) surprises. First, the reigning champion, Spain - one of my favorite - crashed out after the first two group matches. That was a shocker for everyone. In group D, group of death which consists of three former world champions, England, Italy, Uruguay and underdog Costa Rica. But who would predict Costa Rica will top this group? England and Italy bow out from the tournament, meanwhile Luis Suarez gets his hattrick of biting after he did it again to Italy's Giorgio Chiellini. Suarez will obviously become the main talk in a few days ahead.
I'm rooting the Germans to shine in this World Cup. How about you?

My hype for coffee and coffee shop right now is as high as my hype for this year World Cup. Enjoying quality time at coffee shop and take a sip from a cup of coffee, just a perfect combination. So this time, I went out to spend my night at this coffee shop in Puri Indah Mall. Yes, it is Djournal Coffee. Djournal Coffee isn't as mainstream as the other coffee shop inside the mall for me. I did enjoy my 'hipster time' here :)). Really love the ambiance here at night plus the classic western design made the place very comfy. This branch is really suitable for a group hangout, a personal chit chat or even for business meeting (I would love to do it here sometime!). For the meal and drink, I didn't take much since I was very full after dinner. I picked light bites and sweet drink to accompany my time at Djournal.

Nutella Blast (IDR 45k)
So the first that I had was Nutella Blast. No coffee from a coffee shop seems weird, huh? No, not at all! It depends on the occasion, I just wanted something easy so I took the Nutella Blast. The drink tasted more like Ferrero Rocher rather than Nutella, although I could still taste the Nutella flavor. It also contained some nuts. Drizzled with some chocolate sauce at the side. Yummy yum yum! :))

Chicken Teriyaki Wrap (IDR 43k)
Two wraps of chicken fillet coated with teriyaki sauce completed with fries. Kind of perfect snack for me. The chicken was a bit hard but inside it was still good, just a fraction off. They came in big chunks woohoo!  The teriyaki sauce was perfect for this wrap, sweet and tasty. How about the fries? They were also okay, sprinkled with sesame seed, pretty much enjoyable along with the wraps. Djournal's Chicken Teriyaki Wrap served on a wooden tray, nice!

Love my outing to Djournal Coffee this time.
See you on my next post! Haha *cheers*

Koultoura Coffee

Just got back from Malaysia last night and finally I can write this post. A day before flying to Malaysia, I visited one coffee shop located in Taman Ratu, West Jakarta. Yep, It's Koultoura Coffee. Koultoura has emerged as one of my favorite coffee shop in town. We'll see why later :)

Koultoura Coffee

The iconic cup and lightning logo

The interior of the shop is pretty simple yet it's very cozy inside! Splendid!

Cement floor, brick walls, wooden tables and full of glasses to let the sunlight comes through as natural lighting are just perfect. The walls also decorated with creative paintings of the characters.

Now, let's go to the main business. While most coffee shops only offer coffee drinks, Koultoura gives you more than just coffee. They have a string of mouthwatering foods. Breakfast, brunch and dinner menus, they have them all.

Cappuccino

Not just hot beverages, they also serve cold beverages to add more choices.

Pink Lemonade

For this visit, I tried Croque Madame and Burger ala Papa Bear. They're just awesome!

Croque Madame

Burger ala Papa Bear

The highlight from Koultoura's Croque Madame is its Bechamel sauce. The white sauce has a very smooth texture and adequately creamy. Plus, it's freshly baked from the oven and the toasts, ham and egg are so yummy!

And now for my favorite Burger ala Papa Bear! This stack of burger compositions is perfect. Butter fried buns, grilled beef patty, a slice of cheese, poached egg, tomato slices, lettuce and sauteed onion have successfully made me drool :p

Both Croque Madame and Burger ala Papa Bear are served with homemade potato fries which is another plus point. The potato fries are addictive. Ha!

Go get your coffee and have a brunch there! It will make your day :D
