Popolamama Indonesia
Popolamama Indonesia, a new brand in the food industry. Originally from Japan, it mixes Japanese custom art & perfection and the art of Italian pasta making. The pasta here uses 100% Durum wheat ground onto Semolina flour. The branch in Taman Anggrek uses classic Italian decoration outside, minimalistic Italian inside. The lighting here was quite dim, a gentle note to be extra careful while taking photos/pictures :).

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*

Ichiro Pesanggrahan
Hi there guys!
It's been a while since my last post, I had to do something else that is more important. Now, it's time to catch up with another food review again :p.
So, I visited Pesanggrahan area where I could find array of restaurants at night along the street. I opted to try the relatively new restaurant, Ichiro. Ichiro is a family Japanese restaurant. In one restaurant, they have three brands/types of food, including Indonesian cuisine named Republic and also Mame Do. I guess they are all in one owner group. But Ichiro was the most attractive for me so I tried it. The restaurant itself have a fair space with an authentic and simple decoration inside and outside. They are creating a different atmosphere on each side of the restaurant.
Ichiro's main selling is their ramen along with sushi and other side dishes. The ramen - with chicken or pork options - has three different types of ramen, they are original, special and unique. The unique one is a combination between the standard Japanese and other types of dressing/seasoning/topping. The special is stronger in flavor and has a thicker broth or soup.
And here are what I got and my pick :
SPOILER : THIS IS NON-HALAL
Kuro (IDR 54k)
Ramen with typical Nagi pork broth. In each menu of ramen, you can pick the noodle type (soft, normal, hard), spiciness level and add extra topping. For this Kuro I chose normal noodle and also normal level of spiciness. At the first view, I was stunned by the pork meat (I was drooling :o). Yep, the pork was roasted, very crispy and came in generous size! The taste was absolutely great! I could still taste the sweet flavor as well. The egg was a little bit runny, I really like it. The noodle was soft and had a chewy texture. The broth was actually too strong although I had requested the normal level. They even gave an extra chili paste which I didn't take. But the Nagi pork broth still got a clear taste of sweet pork meat.
Genkio (IDR 54k)
Ramen with Japanese curry. Traditional and classic one. I had soft noodle with normal spiciness level in the ramen. The roasted pork and the egg were as good as the Kuro's. Instead of chili paste, they put curry powder on the ramen for Genkio. The soft noodle wasn't too different with the normal one. The curry tasted really nice however it was still too strong.
Spicy Karage with Akao Sauce (IDR 32k)
One side dish to complete the meal, I planned to try their sushi roll but I was full at that time so this karage was enough. Another spicy dish that I had (I didn't thought the ramens would be that spicy at first) as the karage sprinkled with black pepper seasoning. The karage meat was quite tender and the Akao sauce was pretty nice actually. The mix between spicy and sweet flavors from the sauce was imprinted well on my taste buds. Me like it :D
The dishes here were actually pretty nice and would be better if they weren't too spicy. If you like that kind of spicy ramen, this might be one of the option to try. The service was a bit lame and annoying as the waitress looked a bit clueless there. Well, I was okay with that actually, not a big deal after all haha.
I think Ichiro is a quite decent ramen house but still not the best ramen in town though ;).
