The top pics are from our bday celebrations (we had 4 different ones :D) and the bottom one from my mum's bday

De Mandailing Cafe and Eatery  Jl. Raya Jemur Sari No.71 Surabaya  0318480367

We've never been to De Mandailing before but we passed by their (much) smaller branch in Klampis very frequently, this branch is like 5x bigger or something hehe

I quite like the ambience of the place, but like other cafes in Surabaya-it's crazy hot (well, the weather IS hot), the air conditioner barely works to cool us off

LOL at CL's face (as usual)

Irritating Little O who is like... glued to his Ipad when we're in cafes

Errr. Yeah, i don't remember the name of course. But it's quite good. Very high in cholesterol, obviously haha

Little O's spagetti carbonara, he enjoyed it

Japanese curry katsu (if i remember the name correctly)-i order this the second time we're there (for Av's bday dinner) and it's really nice

Something similar but with teriyaki sauce (again, i think). DR ordered this and then complained at the lack of meat. KD said "What can you expect from something so cheap?" but honestly speaking, that's a rather wrong statement, look at the previous photo-the price's pretty much the same but the amount of katsu is definitely not lacking. And yes, i think the food prices in De Mandailing is crazy cheap, but the drinks aren't-most of them are more expensive than the food hahaha. So if you think this place is dirt cheap... I totally disagree, the total amount you're gonna have to pay is average compared to most cafes in Surabaya

My spagetti bolognaise, not bad but i do think it tasted... Like home cooking? Actually i think this way for most of their mains. The drinks are quite nice, but also have the "home made" quality in them (and to be frank, not always in the best way)

I highly recommending their desserts though! They're very niceeee (they have pancakes and waffles), huge portioned and affordable. I would suggest you share the pancakes/waffles among friends coz they're big!

It was actually hunny's actual birthday that day. I hate how a perfect lighting for him always means horrible one for me, my bangs always create weird shadows on my face *sigh*. Hunny looks good here so i have to post it anyway

On the contrary, i always look better with camera selfies and he looks weird hahahaha

Then KC started demonstrating the way to wear the weird, duck beak-looking mask they got in Spore

Then he wore it like this, looks exactly like Japanese Yurei so i forced him to pose like this *LOLOLOL*. They were like "What if we offend the ghost", and i told them "No worries, we don't have them in Indonesia. Only in Japan, too far to be offended"

De Mandailing has a special service for bday celebrations, free waffle! I dunno why i couldn't stop posing weirdly that night WTF

Highly recommended waffle. Next time i'm in De Mandailing, if i'm not famished, i'll just order waffle! (I cannot eat sweet things when i'm hungry)

LOLOLOL at my puffer fish face. And yes, there are worse photos. Not posting it. NOPE

Polaroid from their staff. The angle grrrr. Makes my face looks bigger than hunny's. NOT REAL ONE OKAY

Snap one. My mum, Little o and CLL totally concealed

Snap two. Well. Only half of MIL, CLL and KT faces appeared. I gave up

The super pretty cake CL ordered for mum. It's super expensive too (apparently the technique to make the flowers are very difficult and that's actually her goal next, to master the technique). Sadly it tastes quite bad *LOLOLOL*. Personally i prefer plainer looking ones that tastes good, like the one we ordered for Little O's bday. Now that's one of the best bday cake i've ever tasted!

Mum got two cakes, one from Jamoo and here we pretended to help her blow but actually are blowing at my dad's bald patch #horriblekids #LOLOLOL. Not many pics here because the lighting's quite horrible and i didn't bring my camera, so all just taken with our phone

Calibre Coffee Roasters  Walikota Mustajab No. 67 - 69  5454801

So honestly, i just anyhow choose the place coz it was new and i wanted to try it out *LOLOLOL*. Lid was horrified when she realized that i didn't even book a table for us yet, and it was quite crowded. So crowded that we had to seat on different tables from our husbands ahahahahahaha. Another proof that i didn't do any research.... I didn't even know that they do not serve any heavy meal *LOLOLOL* so it's more like a place where you hang out for coffee and light meals. Sorry #Undecided's hubby who most probably was still hungry after the so-called dinner! I snapped a photo of the guys's table but it turned out super blurry zzz. Dunno what's wrong with Marshmallow that day coz almost all of the photos taken that night were super blurry and unpostable! (EDIT : I went to Calibre again yesterday and they have pasta now! Pretty nice too, but totally overpriced!)

#Undecided's salad. Which i totally forgot to ask if it's any good hahaha

Baked egg? It's quite nice. I ordered this but it tastes like pasta (okay, the correct term probably that it tastes like bolognaise sauce *LOL*) so Little O (who's a true blue China man who dislike most Western food. Except for pasta and steak. Oh and mushroom soup, of course. He's much happier with very Chinese foods) can only eat this because he refused the panini i fed him wholeheartedly

The aforementioned panini. It's very nice actually!

We also decided to order two cakes (basically, the only two left. They were running out of food pretty fast!) and share them. They're very nice!

The other cake. Don't ask me their names alright

The only decent photos we got that night were taken from phones! OMG. Marshmallow was being a real B that night!

Our rather failed attempt for a selfie. The lighting kinda sucks too *sigh*

I could really smack Little O for refusing to pose properly zzzz
