so i’ve been going back and forth to this clinic called sakti medika at tebet. this was perhaps my 6th or 7th visit since jan. there is this small cute cafe inside the clinic, right side to the entrance door. i think the name was bintique cafe. AND MY GOD WAS THEIR FOOD TASTE PHENOMENAL. you know how most cafes sell overpriced heavily processed food like those fries and nugget platter?? this one didn’t (or maybe they did, yea they probably did since it’s staples for cafes, i didn’t actually get a good look at their full menu). they actually sell home cooked meals. and they taste exactly like the kind of food my mom or aunt would cook at home. so far, i’ve tried their: - dimsum (ok this one might be the least i liked from what i’ve ordered so far) - hot cappucino (this was legit a suprise. i thought they’d just use cheap instant cappucino but guess what?? they actually blend & brew it themselves. AND!!! they serve the sweet syrup separately. have repurchased and will continue to do so on my future visits) - teh sereh (this is sugar free! i repeat. SUGAR. FREE!!! and no preservatives added!!!) - tahu goreng (my goodness this baby was hugeee and delishhh. they use white tofu, but instead of just filling it with the usual chopped veggies, they add minced meat into the mix??? i have no idea they could work so well together) - nasi cobek (was almost gonna order their nasi goreng ayam but i saw this on the menu board, and it piqued my interest, so i ordered it instead. and i’m so glad i did. this was actually just like the usual ‘rice-fried tempeh, tofu, chicken-sambal-sliced cucumber, tomato, lettuce-sayur asem’ combo BUT they actually ungkeped their chicken??? the piece of tempeh and tofu were thick and well-seasoned??? oh and the sayur asem…. i know that’s someone's households’ recipe!! that’s someone’s mom’s cooking out of love!!!) 😭😭😭😭😭 i so wished i had taken pictures so i can eternalize the experience. but it’s ok i promised myself to try something new from their menu everytime, then i get to experience that heavenly taste all over again. maybe by then i will take pictures too.
