LIMA

4 Chintia Huang - 5 months ago

Ambience is very great for cafe around PIK area. Menu is quite overpriced (price not included tax 15%) but seems like they sell the "ambiance" which is kinda worth it. They serves choco, tea, coffee, heavy meals, toast u0026 gelato. At 11 it's quite empty but at 1 or 2 it gets crowded. They have outdoor, indoor area on 1st u0026 2nd floor. 2nd floor is very suitable for day dreaming!

Good place for hangout. Usually i went to Lima without any complaint.. but last visit their coffee a bit acid, and i feel their glass a bit smaller now, maybe? Lima's toast are good and delicious.

Cozy place for hangout with friends.
Nice place to focus, good playlist to listen.
Must try their pork belly, it's so yummy ????

But there's many mosquitoes inside where I seated. Only a few tables that have the power outlets.

What an enticing place, amidst the similar blue/gray shophouses, all the other places designing their front rows in all kind of designs, the restaurants and cafes around mostly adopting a full glass exterior to preview people of its interior... this one place chooses to armor itself in aluminium panel cladding, simple and minimalistic, nature articulately placed to frame the side of the building, playing with the brown of roots and green of leaves. A simple "L I M A" (meaning 'five' in Bahasa) sign on its concrete appearance horizontal line. Its facade seems to hide away secrets from the outside, a peeking view from the entrance seems like a trailer of something not so simple.

Playing its interior in as if the place itself is an archipelago, the islands are separated with sea of pebbles. The whole place decorates itself in raw materials, concretes, woods, stones, enhancing itself with bold lines and corners. It was a different place of the outside world, so crowded with cars and people, an exclusive space. The light placed strategically to create a dim ambience, indirect lighting creating lines, illuminating from underneath. Here and there, occasionally, you'd find yourself looking at the greens and browns that becomes a part of the place's exterior identity.

"How many person will be joining?" the waiter greets you by the entrance, a wide and tall glass sliding door, opened always just enough for one to two persons entering / exiting.

"Just one." You replied.

Guiding you to a table, the menu is offered in a digital QR code scan. Ordering the Brown Butter Pasta with Italian Sausage and a warm beverage, you waits patiently, soaking yourself in the rare ambience the place has successfully delivered.

Your beverage is served shortly after. Sipping the warm drink, you opened your phone. After some time, the food is served, warm and appetizing. You have never seen this shape of pasta before, looking as if it's modelled after a crown. You bite a spoonful of it and are suprised at the savory taste. The pasta is cooked almost into al dente if not for the fact that it's a bit too soft, boiled perhaps for a tad bit too long... or is it what they aimed for? The flavor of cheese and cream fills your mouth gently and you can see boiled pumpkins thrown in. You go for another spoonful, take a bite- your teeth chomps down on something hard. Looking at the source of discomfort, you see the garlics, fried, perhaps, but instead of being crunchy and a pleasure to chew, adding its flavor to the mix, it comes out hard, slipping to the gaps of your teeth.

A pity to an overall good dish.

The place was satisfying, the workers were friendly and polite, the price is what seems to be expected of such place and taste of food.

If the situation doesn't call for a pandemic, you can see yourself spending your time much longer in the place, ordering seemingly interesting "LIMA Blend" tea instead of opting for a cup, slowly drinking down warm sips in contrast to the cool interior air.

As it is, you satisfy yourself with the dish, quickly finishing up, paying, and exit the place, feeling a tad bit better for the day.
