Right
after trying out King Mango, me and Yenny went to this newly opened
cafe in Pluit Karang Timur called Kata-Kata which just opened two days ago and
special thanks to my some of Instagram followers for letting me know about this
place! You guys rock!
Kata-Kata
is located precisely next to Eng's Resto (which has been around for quite some
time) and honestly from the picture sent to me and (from checking their
Instagram) I had this picture of this minimalist neat wide space but it was
actually less spacious that what I expected but still had this homey minimalist
vibe to it, upon entrance you'll see several marble tables which would be the
'it' spot with the best outdoor lighting for your picture. The indoor lighting
is a bit dim but if you're just here to eat (which I initially did and didn't
plan to blog about this), then all good.
It
was pretty packed the moment we were there and one thing that I noticed was good
from this cafe was the service, I notice the people there were pretty attentive
in serving us since our arrival. I seriously didn't have any freaking idea that
they were having a 50% discount that's running at the moment during their
opening days so YES expect to have half your bill cut off! When I posted this on
my Instagram a lot of you actually asked me when is the promotion ending but I
really don't have any idea and I didn't ask them either, so maybe hit them on
the Instagram DM for details (but don't ask for free food!), but one thing for
sure, the cafe opens EVERYDAY from 7-10 AM.
I
was so exhausted the whole day and too lazy to move my ass so if you want to see
the interior go check Yenny's blog post ->

We
ordered drinks and some food to share. I ordered their Iced Cappucino which came
in a smiley price tag of IDR 27k (so rare these days) but it was too watery.
Yenny ordered the Iced Chocolate and it was too watery as well. I didn't try
Yenny's husband's drink but improvement's needed on those two.
Iced
Cappuccino - IDR 27k
Cheese
Loaded Meet Fries - IDR 45k
Beautifully
cooked waffle fries topped with beef chili and generous cheese, well I mean what
can go wrong? Easily enjoyed this one to the last bite.
Salted
Egg Rice Bowl - IDR 45k
First
things first, for the salted egg rice bowl you can choose the protein depending
on your preference such as: chicken, roast/fried pork. We gave the 'roast pork'
a try.
Basically
warm rice topped with your selection of protein drenched in salted egg sauce,
scrambled egg, confit shitake mushroom and edible flowers for beauty. Somehow to
be completely frank the pictures on the menu screamed louder than the real
appearance. I expected creamy gooey runny scrambled egg, well this one's creamy
too but not what I had in mind initially, and the biggest letdown was the salted
egg sauce, it was lacking the salted egg flavor and just plain creamy. I think
we should have gone for the fried pork for texture as I was diggin everything,
there was nothing that stood out in terms of texture, the roast pork was tender
and fatty, the scrambled egg was creamy and we need something to balance the
palate.
Our XL Cheeseburger - IDR 65k
Again,
if you already look at the menu you'll expect a very dirty burger where the
sauce's oozing but this one was not, even the cheddar cheese you're seeing here.
I think it's a must for me to have the cheddar on my burger melted (maybe not
you but it is for me). The ground beef patty was slightly dry and under-seasoned
just like the handcut fries, it was altogether underseasoned. This can seriously
perform better, I can see that.
The fries might be
underseasoned but I love the idea of serving it in this cute supermarket
stroller
Even
before the discount, I think generally the price tag for the food and drink here
is pretty affordable for today's standard, but I expected more from the food and
I believe they can do better, I don't think it's the ingredient, it's just
they're not brave enough with the performance for the flavor and seasoning,
actually a bit of tweaking here and there can really improve the quality of the
food here, it's better to be bold than weak and the best of luck for them!
