Bakmi Permata was also becoming more popular since they started to open their outlets in office buildings.. their specialty is the curly noodle, which was different from Bakmi GM's.. the toppings of bakmi casau includes grilled pork in red sauce, mushrooms, caisim and fried pork oil.. my favorite thing of eating here is their chilly sauce and chilly pickles.. I can almost finish the whole pot of chilly haha.. oh, if you're eating in the restaurant, you'll get a free dessert.. nice eh?

Mi Hotplate Plasa Semanggi Food Court

during the one-hour lunch time at office, my colleagues and I usually go to Plasa Semanggi just to eat and look around.. we usually eat at the Food Court, and I decided to try this outlet.. I picked chicken steak noodle for Rp16,500 with a free ice tea.. well, to be honest, the taste was just ordinary and nothing was really special other than the cheap price haha.. the portion was quite big and it's really friendly for student's budget meal :)

Neoguri

now this is an instant noodle imported from Korea, I suppose? it was neoguri noodle soup udon (around Rp10,000).. it's actually an instant udon soup in a seafood and spicy taste -which I like- complimented with dried vegetables and nori.. the portion was quite large, even for men.. the soup was nice and spicy.. and I like it.. it's my current favorite instant noodle haha :)
