FLIP Burger Senopati

New burger joint has just opened in Senopati area last week! They opened for public starting from Friday 19th of August!

Location below RAI Fitness Senopati

It is located in Jl. Senopati right in front of Caribou Coffee and in the same area of RAI Fitness, easy to spot especially with their huge Flip Burger red and yello wsignage. When we arrived around 6 pm we were told that this place was closed and starting to open at around 6.30 pm! So we just went inside and waiting for around 20 minutes before we can order.

When I saw their Instagram page @flipburger_id, turns out Chef Afit was the one behind the kitchen! So you can expect the great Beef experience since Chef Afit also the man behind Holycow & HolyRibs!

 

Even before it was opened there were few people seated already

Order counter

They put notification in the front door for GOJEK drivers that they are only allowed to order of a maximum of THREE BURGERS per order due to high demand. WOW!

 

Above are the whole menu they have, as you can tell SMACKER is their signature burger (IDR 55K), they also have regular cheese burger and fish burger which I'm very excited about! For the light bites they have Chicken Skin, French Fries, Chicken finger and Bacon & Tots fries. All comes in a very affordable price IMO.

If you want a combo or package, they have 3 kinds of 'FLIP Combo': Cheese burger, Beef burger and Fish burger combo with each comes with fries and soft drinks in it (IDR 57K - IDR 61K). All drinks in Flip burger are 'RE-Fill-able', pretty dang good huh?!

The WHOLE SQUAD!

 

We ordered the FLIP C combo (Fish burger), Smacker burger and Chicken Skin. We wanted to try the tots and bacon but we hesitated LOL, so maybe some other time we'll try it!

The SMACKER Burger!

Fish Burger

The Smacker burger was HEAVY as if I was holding three big mac burgers! When we opened it, the burger has lots of oil and grease in it but not in a gross way tho'. The Smacker definitely the highlight of Flip burger once we had a bite. The double beef patties were SOOO JUICY and tender and not dry at all! The bacon and caramelized onions added just the right amount of taste and 'kick' into it!

The fish burger was definitely better than "M* D*na*d" fish burger, however I didn't quite like the egg that they put on top of the fish, it was just make the whole burger smell so 'fishy', but it was good all in all.

I rarely eat chicken skin, but THIS is TO DIE FOR!

The SMACKER was Friggin' HEAVY! LOL!

The chicken skin is A MUST order when going to Flip Burger, I could just come back to Flip burger just for the Chicken skin and go! Because it was THAT Good! It was crispy, like dead crispy!

Ice Cream & Drinks Refill Counter

If you don't want to queue on the spot to order the burger, you can send your Go-Jek driver and order. However you're going to miss the perks of having them when you dine in Flip Burger, because they offer FREE Refill for all drinks & Ice cream if you have it there! Who wouldn't want a free refill of Ice cream?!

Total Damage

 All in all, Flip burger offer a great deal when it comes to fast food (burger). Beside residing at a premium area of Senopati, they also offer affordable price which goes along with their delicious  burger!

The only downside of going here is they do not have great parking space, so you HAVE to valet your car and paid IDR 20,000,- per visit! *UGH*

Other than that, it was a nice dining experience here in Flip Burger!

SEIROCK-YA RAMEN

I love Japanese foods! (Almost) Any kind of Japanese food always raise my appetite, including Ramen!

Who does not love ramen? It's savory, tasty, fulfilling and belly-warming especially if you eat it during rainy or cold weather! YUM! However authentic ramen from Japan mostly included "pork" in its ingredient (whether it is Tonkotsu or not). Many times traveling to Japan I always wanted to try the authentic ramen but I couldn't since they are not "Halal" *sad face*.

When I heard about Seirock-ya claiming their brand as "Halal Ramen" I got very excited!! However sometimes "Non-Pork" ramen does not taste as good as the "Pork" one, so my expectation when visiting Seirock-ya was kind of average.

They have several outlets already in Jakarta and Serpong. The one I visited was in Radio Dalam (Near Beer Garden Radio Dalam / Gandaria Area). I paid a visit after work around 6.30 pm and all the tables were unoccupied.

1st floor

They have 2 floors with upstairs a more spacious one. Be noted that all floors remain a non-smoking area.

Their decorations are typical Japanese food shop with wooden table and chairs with a semi-open kitchen on the left side where we can see the chef preparing our meals. 

For super-spicy food lovers out there!

Their Extreme and Miso Ramen Menu

Basically their main menu is Ramen (Chicken Ramen). They offer 3 types of broth to be served with your ramen: Shoyu, Shio and Miso (depends on your preference). However the waiter suggested us that we opted for the "Extreme" Tori Paitan Ramen.

Extreme means the broth is thicker, more savory and get more 'kick' in it! Of course I went with the waiter's recommendation right away!

You can choose your noodle firmness: Thick or thin. I opted for the thin one since for me that's why ramen noodle should be, while Mr. A went with the thicker one. Well, go with anything you like! turns out both noodle are great!

Extreme Tori Paitan Ramen

You can choose your topping also, whether with Tamago (soft-boiled eggs), Chashu (sliced chicken meat) or the special one (tamago, chashu, quail).

If you like your food to be spicy, you can have the "spicy" one. However since I cannot eat that many chili I asked whether they can separate the chili (and turned out they can! yeay!!) So I just added a bit of chili little by little based on our liking.

Other recommendations are their GYOZA, I ordered the SPICY GYOZA and OH BOY, Was it amazing! The grilled gyoza skin was perfect but still soft, the filling was quite generous and the spicy-savory taste was DELISH!

At first I did not want to order the Tori Karaage, but the staff said it was 30% discount that day so yeah why not?! It was different than other karaage I had in most Japanese resto, the meat was too thick and it was just okay.

Beside Ramen, they also have Tsukemen, several kinds of donburi menu and also some other light bites to choose from.

Orange Soda!

After slurping the whole bowl of thick and savory broth of tori paitan ramen, we ended our meals with this Orange Soda drink which also recommended by the staff. The presentation was cute! and it was definitely completed our taste bud with its sweet-citrusy taste. Nice!

For me personally, Seirock-Ya has just crowned THE BEST CHICKEN RAMEN in Jakarta so far!

The broth which comes in thick side (but not too milky, if you know what I mean), the noodle firmness was just perfect and the toppings were complementing each other in the right proportion!

Definitely will comeback here again for their delicious ramen and to try other menu as well!

TANAMERA COFFEE ROASTERY

HELLOOO!!

Oh Lord, it has been 2 years since I last visited my blog! A lot of going on in life (like Duh!), but I'm baaacckk with tons of food and travel review!

Today is Saturday so it is THE best time to go out and enjoy some brunch and coffee since recently MANY new coffee shops opened in J-Town that I'd like to try!

Me and Mr. A went to Mayestik for some "tailoring" stuff, after being stuck in traffic for QUITE some time we thought we'd like to visit a nearby coffee shop to chill and spend the rest of our afternoon.

I found out from Zomato that TANAMERA COFFEE has another joint in Jl. Ahmad Dahlan. I only knew the one they have in Thamrin, so without further ado we went straight to their location which located right beside Lab School Kebayoran and also they share the same building with LetterD cafe.

The Black and Red theme 

Our order: Banana Caramel Cake (35K); Iced Mocha (40K); Flat White (35K)

Their Iced mocha is quite bitter for me, but the flat white tasted great! Since I lovveeee banana cake in general, I felt like I have an obligation to tried this when I saw it at the display rack. They added caramel sauce and mix the cake with some dark chocolate I think. All in all, I love spending my time here!

GREAT Coffee!

They have a 2-story building, the upper floor used for special occasion if I'm not mistaken and they have an outdoor seating which is quite spacious imo. It is actually dedicated for smoking area. However the outdoor seating seemed really nice especially in today's not-so-sunny Jakarta weather, so we were seated outside and it was lovely!

They also serve all day breakfast, burger, panini and other 'heavy' meals.

Other Tanamera locations are:

• One Pacific Place (Lobby)
• Thamrin City Office Park
• SSqP-SDC Serpong

They open everyday: 

Sun - Thu 6.30 am - 10 pm

Fri - Sat 6.30 am - 11 pm

So, if you are looking for a place to enjoy your morning (or all day) coffee, weekend brunch or just need a place to chill out with friends I think Tanamera Coffee Ahmad Dahlan serve a very good one!
