EAT HAPPENS


Another Saturday Night! This post is dedicate for you who still confuse about where suppose the place to hang out tonight, weather with friends, lover or future-lover (or maybe an ex? Hahaha). I prefer to this one, EAT HAPPENS food court, which located near Tebet Station. Sounds good for the location?

I found this place after several times searching on net for a good place to reunited with my college friends who became like me, wanderer in Capital, lol. So, considering our da kost/home is far from one to other (one in south, another one in Depok or even Tangerang), I think this is the best one. Near station and it’s closed enough from central town.

To be honest, the place is a bit small from my expectation. But, it sure a photoable one. They muraled their wall with a simple and catchy pictures and hand lettering. Oh, and this food court is divide by two portion area, non smoking (AC provided) and the smoking area one. So for you who don’t wanna eat with “smoke”, you can choose the non smoking area.


It really does give "cool kids" vibes


Then, how about the food? Let’s peek it!

There’s so much menu you can choose in EAT HAPPENS. From just a snack until a main course such rice bowl or ramen. For me and my other six friends, we decided to choose a 2 sharing menu. The one is:

Hungry John Sausage (H4) IDR 69.000, score: 8/10
It sure Hungry John Long Bread is the most authentic menu in EAT HAPPENS. They serves many toppings inside it like, beef patty, egg, or even sausage (like this one). The bread sure long, maybe around 60-75cm? And for me, this is the right choice for sharing meal (it can shared until 6-7 portion for us, and we satisfied enough for 1 slice, around 5-7cm we’ve got for one person.)
And the second one is:

Martabak Original CO(klat) – KE (ju) – KA (cang) – W(ij)E(n), IDR 55.000, score: 8/10
Chocolate, cheese and peanut is a common topping for martabak, am I wrong? Then, they mixed it with wijen (sesame seeds) it’s quitely out of my mind. The batter is soft and good. And for you who can’t eat sweet thing but craved it, you must try this one. And it’s a balance menu as well for savory Hungry John I think.

Then for my own choice meal and beverage, I choose:

Nasi Goreng Gyutan (Beef Tongue Fried Rice), IDR 32.000, score: 6/10
The tongue slices is too thin T^T. And the rice portion is a bit small then my friend’s fried rice (I will review it after this). The taste is so so too. I’m sorry, but there’s a lot menus better than this and I will recommended yo to choose another than this. For example:

Nasi Goreng Gila (Gila Fried Rice), IDR 32.000, score: 9/10
YES! THIS ONE! I highly recommended this one. Gila is Bahasa Indonesia for madness/crazy. But for food, it something super spicy food and usually there’s a lot dishes inside them (meatballs, sausages, or shredded chicken) and of course, egg! This is good, the egg is fluffy and the portion is much more than mine *sob*.

And for the beverage, there’s a lot of unique flavor actually. You can check it on zomato picture galleries, but then I curious that they serve butterbeer like in Harry Potter. I was so excited.. but what I’ve got?

Harry Potter Butter Soda, IDR 32.000, score: 4/10
Yes, I’ve so disappointed for this one beverage. It is not the butterbeer where they have a melted butter mixed with brown sugar, condensed milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove inside.. It’s just a rootbeer with one cut of cinnamon then serve with whipped cream T^T.  And it’s too expensive for they called “butterbeer” *sigh*. So, for you who want try an unique flavor to drink, I think you have to choose others than this. Believe me.

Original Cendol from Beyond Cendol & Duren Bar, IDR 18.000, score: 7/10
An usual cendol, not too sweet. It’s a perfect for you who don’t have a sweet tooth.

Other menu is:

Nasi Goreng Hitam/Cumi (Squid Ink Fried Rice), IDR 30.000, score: 6/10.
Just a fried rice with squid ink then a sunny side up on the top. That’s all. And the plate is black then we don't see the difference between rice and the plate *sigh*. But gladly, the portion is more than mine as well.

Blackpepper Beef Rice Bowl, IDR 30.000
Teriyaki Beef Rice Bowl, IDR 30.000
I can’t scoring them cause I don’t really taste it. But for the portion I want to give them 7/10, it’s much, and enough to decrease your starve.

additional:
if you're not done with your meal, you can take it out and I love their take out package, so cute!

Well, that’s all of my review for EAT HAPPENS. Overall, it’s a good place with a good location and many menus that you can choose it. Let me know what you’ve order if you have gone to this place. And for you who curious for the place (and of course for the meal too), come and try it! Alright then, have a nice weekend wherever and whoever with! Dasvidaniya!
