Definitely a cute place to chill and bring your kiddos or whole of family to this place! It felt like I was back to preschool, Cute Teddy Bears drawings are all over the walls, well-furnished with arrangement of cute tables and chairs, and what makes it even cuter? Cute adorable foods!

Here is what me and my friends have ordered, of course I shall have a bite of their foods so I can give a review for each and every menu that we've ordered.

Sleeping Panda - IDR 48.

Obviously, it is a plate of buttered rice, served with egg to be a blanket for the cute little Pandas, sleeping on a salmon pillows and prawns. Seasoned with savory curry sauce and on top of it, sprinkled with sesame seeds, chopped leeks, and fresh seaweeds.

The rice was too mushy, and I believe that's just the way they cooked it. The reason is so that they can shape the rice to be just like a panda (Sorry Mr. And Mrs Panda, I can't hold the urge to eat you guys..)

The curry sauce used was somewhat spicy, and the egg was enjoyable! The sweetness, saltiness, and the spiciness, everything is well-combined in one portion of delicious Sleeping Panda!

Starving Panda - IDR 48.

The taste of Starving Panda & Sleeping Panda isn't really that different. Instead, they put Chicken Katsu on the plate and shape the mushy rice into five little pandas. The Chicken Katsu is typical of any Chicken Katsu you can find in any of restaurants. The batter was not too crunchy and the chicken meat was well-cooked so I guess it is okay!

What makes them delicious is the special curry sauce, YUM YUMMY in my TUMMY!

Gyu Tan Don - IDR 48.

Another bowl of rice, well-seasoned with beef tongue, yes, TONGUE! I never thought a beef tongue can be that delish. For more information, you can choose the spiciness level from 1-10, Ah! The chilli on top makes it greater!

Dynamite - IDR 32.

Now, this is one most unique dish I have ever seen, and tasted! The dish has salmon cube, shitake mushroom, enoki mushroom, shimeji mushroom, broiled with spicy mayonaise, (so many mushrooms, but one "magic" mushroom is missing, LOL just kidding) But the not-so-good thing is the dish was too salty at least to my taste bud, if it wasn't, I don't mind giving 5/5 rating!

Unagi Baked Rice - IDR 48.

A portion of baked rice, Unagi (eel), poured with melted cheese and mayonaise on the top of the flavour! The rice was baked perfectly and those unagi were delicious as well.

Spicy Aburi Roll - IDR 48.

If I'm not mistaken, this sushi roll has kani sticks (crab stick) inside, rolled with seaweed and a thick amount of rice. Afterward, they put a slice of salmon on top, and pour it with spicy mayonaise.

Mizu Mochi - IDR 32.

This one unique desserts was coming right up! A very enjoyable soft and smooth ice cream on top of tasty froot loops cereal, served with jell-o looking kind of mochi, on top of crunched peanuts. Pour it all with a maple syrup, mixed it all together (that's how I ate them) and the results are ULTIMATE in my mouth! Give it a try!

Sweet Drugs Churros - IDR 35.

Who doesn't like Churros? this time you can enjoy Churros with Injection of Cheese Cream, Nutella, and Matcha for fillings inside the Churros. How it tasted? AWESOME!

Up next is drinks sections,​

Green Tea Latte - IDR 20.

Green tea latte (hot or cold, just choose what you desire). It tasted good, not too sweet, would taste better if they put just a little amount of ice!

Lemon Tea - IDR 18.

Thirsty? Have a glass of Iced Lemon Tea to freshen up your body, you can add up a toppings like, Grass Jelly, Aloe Vera, Rainbow Jelly, Orange Boba, Lychee Boba, Mango Boba, Choco Pudding, Caramel Pudding, Orange Boba and Mango Boba is the perfect match for my Lemon Tea.

Taro Milk Tea - IDR 21

What a cute plastic glass, am I right? Look at those bears! Here is a Taro Milk Tea, a sweet drinks for all of you milk tea lovers, Add a Chocolate Pudding will make them more and more good to drink.

And now, scoring time,

My last opinion, I love this place! but I did notice that even though this place looks clean, but there were some bugs, smaller than ants, but they could fly around and annoys your lunch time. I have been there twice, and nobody is taking care of the bugs, that's why I'm giving a 2 for their cleanliness. Do you ever experience the same thing?

​​Anyways, the foods are great! tell me which one of the menu is your favourite? Let me know in the comment section down below. I haven't tried out the Ice cream cone and Taiyaki, but next time I will give a shot!
