[Foodies #9] Falling in Love in The First Coming for HOST Cafe
Happy. That was my first reaction when I could be in this place. Initially I only knew of a few photos of fellow photography enthusiasts. And today really didn't expect God to step my foot into this cafe.
Bahagia. Itu reaksi pertama kali saya saat bisa ada di tempat ini. Awalnya saya hanya tahu dari beberapa foto teman-teman sesama penyuka fotografi. Dan hari ini benar-benar tidak menyangka Tuhan melangkahkah kaki saya ke cafe ini.
The place that is located in the corner of an elite residential neighborhood was indeed not visible to my eyes. However, whose name is destiny, there must be just an unreasonable reason that they can also go to this place.
Tempat yang terletak di sudut sebuah lingkungan perumahan elit memang sempat tidak terlihat oleh mata saya. Namun, yang namanya takdir, pastilah ada saja alasan tak terbahasakan sehingga bisa juga ke tempat ini.
Outdoor
Seeing the appearance from the outside, this cafe does look small. But it has clearly been seen that it has a two-story building.
Melihat penampakan dari luar, cafe ini memang terlihat kecil. Namun sudah terlihat jelas memiliki bangunan dua lantai.
There is an AC free area of about 4 tables and a few chairs to taste. Usually occupied by visitors who smoke or want a more open atmosphere.
Terdapat area bebas AC sekitar 4 meja dan beberapa kursi secukupnya. Biasanya ditempati pengunjung yang merokok atau ingin suasana lebih terbuka.
Indoor
The area is enough with AC and the arrangement is okay. There is a spot for "karaoke", toilets, and the interior design is also unique and certainly suitable for installation on social media.
Luasnya cukup dengan AC dan penataan yang oke. Ada spot untuk karaoke, toilet, desain interior ruangan juga unik dan pastinya cocok buat dipasang di media sosial.
It's just that it's a little difficult to shoot because of the yellow light. So it's great for photos outside or near the window. Just make sure the direction of sunlight comes from where to ensure the placement of food items to be captured.
Hanya saja sedikit kesulita memotret karena cahaya lampu yang kuning. Sehingga sangat bagus untuk foto di luar atau dekat jendela. Tinggal memastikan arah cahaya matahari datang darimana untuk memastikan penempatan objek makanan yang akan difoto.
1st Floor:
Can contain around 60 visitors. I have written further information above.
Bisa memuat sekitar 60 pengunjung. Keterangan selanjutnya sudah saya tulis di atas.
2nd Floor:
Can contain around 10 visitors. Around this room is playground decorated for children to play. So, there is no need to worry about carrying a child.
Bisa memuat sekitar 10 pengunjung. Sekeliling ruangan ini dihiasi playground untuk anak-anak bermain. Jadi, tidak perlu khawatir bawa anak.
Menu dan Prices
Luckily, the price of food here again fits in the pockets of housewives who are also doubled as blogger.
Beruntung karena harga makanan di sini lagi-lagi cocok di kantong ibu rumah tangga yang merangkap sebagai blogger. Sesekali kesini, hangout atau sekadar menepi dari kesibukan menulis, cocok sekali.
When I came here, there were exciting interesting offers. I was given the opportunity to try snack named "Risoles". The "risoles" are not arbitrary because they contains more vegetables. After I taste it, so delicious!
Waktu saya kesini, ada penawaran menarik yang membahagiakan. Saya diberikan kesempatan mencoba snack bernama Risoles. Risolesnya pun bukan sembarangan karena isiannya sayuran. Setelah saya cicipi, eh enak!
In addition, this barista cafe gives me bonus with a cup of coffee. Wow, I'm really lucky. So the more passionate the coffee photo is for the review.
Selain itu, barista cafe ini memberikan saya bonus secangkir kopi. Wah, sungguh beruntung sekali saya. Jadi makin semangat foto kopi untuk bahan review.
About the Taste
Honestly, I like it. Coffee, iced tea, fried rice, french fries are the menu I ordered. Everything is okay on my tongue.
Jujur saja, saya suka. Kopi, es teh, nasi goreng, kentang goreng adalah menu yang saya pesan. Semuanya pas di lidah.
Do not believe? Try coming and prove it yourself. One time I will come back here again because I want to taste another menu.
Tidak percaya? Coba datang dan buktikan sendiri. Suatu saat saya akan balik lagi kesini karena ingin merasakan menu yang lain.
Conclusion
I'm happy to be here. If you come here, not only can you hang out at the cafe. But you can also tour photos in front of this cafe. There is the "Arc de Triomphe" a Surabaya.
Saya senang ada di sini. Kalau kalian kesini, tak hanya bisa nongkrong di cafe. Tetapi juga bisa wisata foto di depan cafe ini. Ada "Arc de Triomphe" a la Surabaya.
Knowing the famous building in Paris? Yes, you can take picture like that in Surabaya!
Tahu sendiri kan dengan bangunan yang terkenal di Paris itu? Ya, di Surabaya bisa kok!
