It's time to spoil some savings for new lens and clothes, I've been saving for quite some time for my future (LOL) and today I went to ITC Mangga Dua to do a little shopping with my mom and I eventually remembered a  place to have one of the yummiest Tom Yum in Mangga Dua, this place is quite popular and always crowded. It's Mama's Kitchen on the second fl if I'm not mistaken.

Every Wednesday I'm going to Serpong to meet some friends and take care of my internship report, well not every week, but for the last three weeks I've been to Serpong three times in a roll, this week I didn't meet any friends because I went there just to take care of some private things, but I managed to get a free tasting of Starbucks' newest pattiseries! I was given these gorgeous food.

First are Starbucks Beef and Chicken Potato Mushroom Pie. OMG free treats are always the best (just kidding, but some part they do right :)).

Starbucks' Almond Croissant
YUM YUM YUM, must try!

Went eating at the gorgeous Ninety-nine cafe in Plaza Indonesia East Mall and I just blogged the post earlier today here... Yesterday I watched the movie 'OZ' and it's a pretty good movie I recommend you to watch it, I love James Franco and Michelle Williams in that movie, Michelle always impresses me in every role she's starring, she's just a talented actress. 

Beef Prime Burger

IDR 82.000 (before tax)

Later for dinner, we went eating at The Soup Spoon and I ordered this amazing "Simon and Chicken Mushroom Soup"

IDR 75.000 (after tax) + Side Dish (more on the official blog post!)

There you have it! My culinary adventure in photo journal, I hope you'll always enjoy everything in this blog because my readers means the world to me. Love you! <3. See you on the next post!

Ninety Nine (99 Cafe), Grand Indonesia.

It was just earlier today that I grabbed a late lunch session with my beloved friends at 99 Cafe, Grand Indonesia. Initially, we wanted to watch the movie 'OZ' starring the very lovely James Franco and Michelle Williams, they both looks absolutely stunning in that movie for the record, and I like that movie, you guys should watch it, too :).

99 Cafe was our choice because my friend, Corina, was craving for their super delicious Potato Cream Soup and I was craving for their delightful burger. 99 first opened its restaurant and central branch at Ranch Market Pesanggrahan (since 99 is Ranch Market's), which also is a great venue with classic interior and great vibe to be around having your lunch or dinner, if there's a chance and I happen to go there again, I will take you to join the tour, but now, let me take you to tour the 99 Grand Indonesia, they also have a very nice place, I'm eating at the bar venue, it's more like the interior part of the restaurant.

I love the venue and I've always been a fan of clean classy interior, it's just simply gorgeous in a very good way. The food itself is as beautiful as how this restaurant looks, well not only looking beautiful, but also tastes delicious, you can feel that it's made with professionalism and it's also shown from its presentation.

Potato Cream Soup

IDR 45.000 (before tax)

Probably one of the best potato cream soup I've ever tasted, it's so creamy but for my personal taste, I love it because it's not tasting very cheesy and milky, but you can see that the meat (beef) and potato kinda works together creating a yummy sensation for every bite. I totally recommend this to you my lovely readers.

Beef Prime Burger

IDR 82.000 (before tax)

This is my meal and this is obviously also one of the best burgers I've ever had in my 21 years of living (hahaha), but it does, clearly as you can see that the burger is very tall and it has a thick meat inside with two potato rings and served with a bucket of awesome fries, this meal is just perfection for me, it's obviously making me very full after I eat the whole portion and I asked for the meat to be medium well (because I think medium well is perfect for me). Aaaah I'm drooling for another portion right now (T.T). Have this for yourself, guys :)

Iced Mandarin Soda

IDR 38.000 (before tax)

Fresh orange soda drink with citrus sense and loveable moments :)

Iced Red Berries Tea

IDR 28.000 (before tax)

I just knew that there is actually a brand that's releasing tea with red berries and I mean it will make the tea looks very red and I'm going to definitely look out for this brand as soon as I stepped into import supermarket, I love this red berries tea and it's just fresh, it has reasonable amount of sourness contained, but still, I like this a little sweeter.

Iced Berry Crush Tea

IDR 38.000 (before tax)

This drink is not much different with my drink but with mint leaves, still fresh and still tasty.

We three spent almost around IDR 290.000 for all those above, I think it's pretty reasonable, I get what I'm paying, and besides, we had a  nice time of chitchat waiting for the movie here, another plus for great comfortable venue, but make sure you're being sit on the table not with the direct air conditioning, because it's super cold and freezing.

99 Cafe is so far one of my most favorite restaurant to have my lunch and dinner, you should really try it out for yourself, guys :). Have a great day!

Don't forget that tonight is another post of Culinary Journal... clue: I had a lot of blessings of great food and most of my cravings are being fulfilled this week. Praise and thank the Lord! Amen!

Since this blog is being featured in last week's CHIC magazine, I am happy to annouce and thank you all for boosting my social network followers, especially what I'm really into right now (Instagram), last week my Instagram finally passed 1k followers, well it's not really really like... a lot, but I'm just simply happy that people might pay attention for me, the foodgasms. Just kidding ;).
