Random Eats: April - June 2018
Origin: Australia
Got this from my colleague who just came back for her OZ trip. Dark chocolate cream is sandwiched between two crunchy biscuits and coated in real dark chocolate. It was not too bitter so it was still suitable for the sweet tooth.
Origin: Australia
Arnott's has teamed up with dessert god Gelato Messina to create gelato-inspired flavors for the biscuit. Just like gelato, this treat is best served cold. It is not stated as 'TimTam' on the label though. The Iced Coffee flavor possessed a strong coffee aroma and taste. Meanwhile, the Turkish Delight one was too sweet for my liking.
Origin: Australia
It was my first time trying real rocky road other than in form of ice cream. The bar is made of peanut and toasted coconut, topped with marshmallows and milk chocolate. Taste wise, it was sinfully good - it would make a perfect party treat.
Location: Bakso President (Jl. Batanghari, Malang)
The grilled meatballs were sweet, salty and slightly crispy. Perfect to accompany the meatball soup.
Location: Bakso President (Jl. Batanghari, Malang)
The meatball here is made of 100% beef, resulting in meaty and savory meatballs. The soup was unfortunately too salty and it contained too much MSG.
Location: Kkuldak (Mall Kelapa Gading 3, Jakarta)
My favorite item from Kkuldak is none other than its honey chicken ball, which is marinated in sweet Korean honey sauce. The chicken balls are then served in a paper cup with some tteokbokkis and tater tots on a skewer. The small size already has quite a number of the honey chicken ball inside, enough for one person.
Location: BAKE Cheese Tart (Grand Indonesia, Jakarta)
I love how smooth and rich the cheese filling in this tart. I have not tried other brands that also sell cheese tart, but I already fell in love at my first bite of BAKE. Can they cut down the price please?! Hahaha.
Location: Völks Coffee (Jl. MH Thamrin, Surabaya)
This dish cannot be more Australian. Yes, you can find the infamous avocado toast at Völks Coffee. I did not really fancy this tbh. The sliced avocado and cheese on sourdough toast made a weird duo. Guess eating healthy and clean just does not work for me haha.
Location: Völks Coffee (Jl. MH Thamrin, Surabaya)
Instead of croutons, they threw in some 'kerupuk pangsit' haha. Kudos for the crispy bacon that added a flavourful crunch. The dressing was tangy and delicious, but it could be more generous, like seriously.
Item: Salty Noodle - IDR20,000
Location: Mie Monster (Jl. Kusuma Bangsa, Surabaya)
The noodle used here is the thick type one, which is chewy and udon-like. The salted egg sauce was too little but it tasted pretty yummy.
Item: Laksa Noodle - IDR20,000
Location: Mie Monster (Jl. Kusuma Bangsa, Surabaya)
When I tasted the soup, I found it rather authentic, resembling real laksa in Malaysia or Singapore. Recommended!
Item: Hot Caffe Latte - IDR28,000
Location: Tous les Jours (Galaxy Mall, Surabaya)
I often grab a cuppa latte from TLJ before church. The coffee possessed a nice body that was good enough to have without sugar, but it was too foamy.
Item: Masala Fries - IDR15,000
Location: King of Fries (Food City Gubeng Airlangga, Surabaya)

Location: King of Fries (Food City Gubeng Airlangga, Surabaya)
The fries was crispy and the seasoning was unique. I tasted a little bit of herbs in the masala seasoning powder.
Item: California Roll - IDR27,500
Location: Daidokoro (BG Junction, Surabaya)
It tasted just okay but the size of was rather big, leaving myself feeling full after eating one whole row.
Item: Ramen Ayam Special - IDR61,000
Location: Hakata Ikkousha (Grand City, Surabaya)
It was my first try of Hakata Ikkousha and I just heard that they no longer served pork-based ramen *sobs*. Anyway, the chicken ramen had light broth with generous chicken chashu inside. I had tasted better ramens, thus this one was just so-so to me.
