Toodz House is the place where you can spend hours on end eating great food, while feeling as though you’re at home. It’s easy to feel an instant comfort due to their warm and cozy interior. So before the month ends, be sure to stop by and have a taste of their March specials.
For the entirety of March, they have curated a lovely selection to feast upon. Salmon Steak with Seasoning Rice and Squid Honje Sambal (IDR 58,000) is wonderful with its flavorful seasoned rice that complements the salmon steak, and for the sweet tooth, there's the Choco Bomb (IDR 38,000), Waffle with Homemade Nutella Ice Cream (IDR 35,000) and a refreshing glass of Strawberry Almond Smoothie (IDR 28,000).
If you’d like to try other things, customer favorites are the Dory Bites (IDR 40,000 / IDR 150,000) that come with a choice of fries, and their famous Carbonara Rice Sriracha Grilled Chicken (IDR 46,000 / IDR 175,000). The genesis of this particular dish was all because of the owner’s love for carbonara and his desire to pair this creamy sauce with other dishes besides pasta — needless to say, it became a hit!

If you ask what the best sellers are, you would most likely be met with, “everything on the menu”. That’s because the secret is in the sauce; it is the very element that amplifies every meal, particularly for their savory dishes. Everything at makancantik is made with fresh ingredients sourced from local markets nearby, and they make sure that every ingredient is not wasted. Pretty cool if you are conscious with how your food is sourced and made. Also, if you fancy a peek into how your meal is made, head on to their open kitchen that’ll make you feel like home!
Do try their Basil Pesto Spaghetti with Grilled Chicken and Spaghetti Aglio Olio Grilled Chicken (all Pasta menu for IDR 52,000), Butter Rice with Grilled Chicken Sambal Matah (Rice & Soup menu IDR 50,000), and Curry Chicken & Cheese Quesadilla (Wraps & Rolls menu IDR 48,000). And if you love juices, their Detox Green Juice (IDR 38,000) and Mix Juice (IDR 35,000) are fresh and thick with the perfect amount of sweetness. End with a slice of Sumatra Dark Chocolate Cake (IDR 35,000) for a very happy tummy.

When roaming about Cipete and Antasari, be sure to grab a bite at Byurger. Don’t be fooled by the seemingly small exterior, because when you head to the second floor, that’s when its spacious and American diner-inspired interior becomes an ideal hangout place.
Bite into their specialty burgers, such as the thick Sexyback Rib (IDR 65,000), a 36-hour braised short rib nestled between toasty buns with homemade BBQ sauce, crispy onions and coleslaw, the Damn Basic (single IDR 39,500 / double IDR 55,000), which consists of a ground beef patty with confit garlic aioli, caramelized onions and cheese; and Le Truffle (IDR 88,000), which includes a ground beef patty stacked with truffle aioli, truffle duxelles, truffle oil, beef bacon, and caramelized onions. Don't forget to refresh your palate and wash it all down with a cold bottle of Badak Sarsaparilla.
Psst, maybe if you enjoy their burgers so much, you can convince them to bring back the wagyu on weekends!
