[Closed] Hoomee Bite & Slurp, Surabaya

Hoomee is a small cafe near my neighborhood, located within walking distance to UNAIR (Airlangga University). Therefore, it is obvious that they are targeting college students and they try to attract them by offering wallet-friendly prices.

The food here is considered cheap, some are even cheaper than the drink

Glass jar is used as the table number sign. They should have put something inside the jar as a compliment haha, don't you all agree?

Hot Hazelnut Latte - IDR19,000

It looks pale with decent latte art. The hazelnut flavor needs to be stronger as we could barely taste the hazelnut.

Frappe Green Tea - IDR22,000

The green tea latte comes in two variants: coffee and non-coffee. I chose the latter and I must admit, I enjoyed it. The green tea flavor was bold but not overpowering.

Spaghetti Aglio Olio - IDR20,000

It comes in such a tiny portion, but since it is priced at only IDR20,000 you cannot really complain. Speaking about how it tasted, it was mediocre.

Fish & Chips - IDR25,000

Fortunately their fish and chips fared better. My first impression upon seeing the plate was that the fish looked like those street-food fritters. Despite its look, taste wise it was not bad. The meat was tender and the batter was crispy. I like the lightly-salted fries too. The sauce tasted weird for me, I did not touch it after the first dip.

Overall, it was not a very impressive experience. The food and drink have a lot areas to improve on. The ambiance was not very relaxing as well, as we sat next to a long table with a bunch of youngsters talking really loudly. Plus, it was still hot even with aircon inside. Coming back? Err, there are still numbers of cafe out there waiting for my visit...
