Mokka Coffee Cabana Pluit Village

 
If you are one of the Northerners, PIK - Pluit - Muara Karang to be exact, you would know that Muara Karang street has been crazy for the past few months due to a bridge construction which no one knows how long it would take to be done. It's so frustrating! The traffic and the headache cause I need to think of an alternate route everytime I want to pass the area, it's like every week there's a new route being shut temporary without proper notice in advance. But at least, on the bright side... The whole re-route thing gotten me to know this newest coffee shop in town. 

HOLDAK Crispy Chicken

The crispy chicken from Busan is in town!

I was on my way to my friend's house when I saw the banner on the opening of Holdak in front of Pluit Village. Couldn't resist the urge on making a turn into the mall, I texted my friend to tell her that I will be late for half an hour. Yes, I do admit I have a serious sickness when it comes to trying new food place. *rolling eyes*

Depot 3.6.9

I once went to Depot 3.6.9 with my mom for their dumplings and find it quite delicious, so some time ago when they were having voucher promo at Disdus, I bought the voucher without any hesitation. My bad was that I used my voucher on the last day of the expiry date which I shouldn't have remembering what kind of service I got from my previous "close to expiry date voucher's" experience.

Cha Cha Bubble Tea

Spotted another new bubble tea originated from the bubble tea country, Taiwan. Located at the 4th floor of Pluit Village next to Shilin. I love what they did with the menu board, it was sketchy and colorful to look at. They have selections of fresh tea, milk tea, fresh milk and ice blended with various unique flavor that I haven't found in other bubble tea's brand such as Irish cream, butterscotch, creme brulee, tiramisu and marshmallow. I was going to try one of the unique one's when I saw they also have one of my favorite tea flavor which is rose, so for my first attempt I tried Rose black tea with pop passion fruit boba (21k) and my friend chose Oolong milk tea with egg pudding (21k). 

Taiwan Dian Xin

After reading the review on Anak Jajan, I was very eager to try as I love Taiwan snack and can never get enough of bubble tea. As Pluit Village was not far from my home, I went there with my best friend on a weekday afternoon. The joy of not having to work 9-6. ;) 

My friend was not that excited as she said she had passed that place several times and the menu on display wasn't even looked interesting, but stubborn drooling me insisted! I ordered the Taipei 101 combo (45k) for sharing where we can picked 1 main dish + 1 side dish + 1 drink. We chose Mushroom combo as the main dish, crispy corn for the side and bubble milk tea for the drink. For me, I added a Taiwan winter melon tea (12k). 

Just like Shilin, I think the seasoning powder was way too many MSG, the kind of snacks that are not good to be eaten too many times. The mushroom was covered with too many flour, while I found the corn was quite ok. I was not crazy about them, but overall it was not bad. Couple days later, I went to Pluit Village for another purpose and stop by for their Osmantheus Tea (12k) and Crispy chicken popcorn (22k). Comparing between Taiwan winter melon tea and Osmantheus tea, I like the second one better as it was more refreshing, winter melon was too sweet for my taste. From my 2 visits, I think their beverages were better than the snacks.
