Ya Kun Kaya Toast

Ya Kun Kaya Toast has many branches inside shopping centres here in Jakarta. It gets really crowded at around 2-3, as many people come here to chat and have their evening tea time. The place is simple yet modern.  

Tea Rp 13.000/ US$1.5

Ice Lychee Tea Rp 21.000/US$ 2.5

The lychee tea, although a little bit pricy, is worth it as it's got the capability og lightening up your mood. It's very sweet, too sweet I would say, but that is what lychee tea is all about - sweetness. There are a few small pieces of lychee underneath. The tea itself has a strong fruit flavor.

Butter Sugar Toast Rp 14.000/ US$ 1.6

This is their signature dish-- toasts. Well, actually they are most famous for Kaya Toast, which is a very close relative of the one in the picture. The on here has sugar instead of kaya jam. What makes it distinguishable from any other toasts is its crispy wholemeal bread. Tried to ask if they sold the bread separately but they didn't. The bread is very crispy, and even though it's wholemeal, you won't feel very full even after eating a portion of it.

QQ Kopitiam

QQ Kopitiam, as its name suggests, is a kopitiam style cafe, with kopitiam style foods, but made to a more contemporary liking. I stopped by for evening snack once, and this is what we had.

The Old Style Table Number Plate

Ice Barley Rp13.000/US$1.5

The barley is so flavorful, they are adding pandan leaves and a lemon slice.

The lemon tea is refreshing as usual.

What's unique with the beverages here is that it is served in a jam jar with a handle, so it looks really nice and appetiting.

Ice Lemon Tea Rp13.000/US$1.5

Fried Banana Rp 15.000/US$1.8

The Fried banana is so crispy, as it was fried with bread crumbs. The banana inside is so sweet. Dipped in the kaya sauce, it's really a nice dish for snack time.

Ah Mei Cafe

Ah Mei Cafe is another modern Kopitiam styled restaurant in Emporium Pluit Mall, Jakarta. It offers a various kopitiam style cuisine, including roti prata, toasts, fried mee, and so forth. The restaurant is kind of cramped though, but it was still cosy. 

Coin Prata 

Mini pratas! Never seen this stuff elsewhere before. It's really cute even though it taste more doughy than the usual prata. Served with kaya jam.

Sandwich

 I am yearning to try the Roti John here, since I never tried Roti John before. But unfortunately, it always run out stock the two times I visited this small restaurant.
