Coarse & Fine Coffee Shop

Hi, fellas!

What's up? I hope you guys do good.

Yesterday, I went to the Coarse & Fine grand opening day 1 with my lil sis. It's located at Ruko Alam Sutera Renata. It's a bit difficult to find this place because it was not the one which facing the main road. So, we asked the security.

Well, because it's the grand opening and day 1, it was crowded with their acquaintances, fellow friends and so on. They also threw a thanksgiving event, latte art competition and brewing competition. It's pretty hectic and we thought we should go there on day 2. Okay, beside that, I love how this cafe being renovated, big cool windows which can be pulled up, wooden stairs, wooden floor, marmer tables, walls, and all those fine coffee making equipments. I also spotted some funko pops there ;). It's on 1st floor. Oh I forgot to mention nice outdoor room as a smoking area.

On 2nd floor, the concept is like a living room. Also, big windows (which this time can't be pulled up), a mini (how you called it? I can't get an idea) exhibition? Display? Showcase? (you named it), and a lavatory.

For the menu price, for me.... it was a bit overpriced, and I guessed it's because of their high standards equipments, and yes high quality coffee and raw materials, they took our orders with a tab, also the fine decors. But that's for me, I don't know if anyone of you thought it was okay with the price. But I may say, their baristas gave us good hospitability tho. They were clean, neat, in uniforms, friendly and served us well.

I'm sorry I can't shot my orders properly, because we didn't get a table and we decided to enjoy the meal on smoking area. ((Well, I don't smoke FYI)

May success be with you always, Coarse & Fine.

POPCON ASIA 2016 - JAKARTA

Hi, guys!

This is my first time being at Popcon Asia. All just for the sake of fancy things hunting party. 

Since I'm not a big fans of Japanese Animation/Manga/Anime or what else, so I just hoping that there would be any stand that sold some cute stuffs instead of anime characters. Ended up, I found pretty much of them. Happily sightseeing all the great artists, illustrators with all their amazing various stuffs. Wow, I didn't know before that as a people that jump into creative world, it would be so interesting enjoy others works like this :) I'm blessed. Well, that's one of my goal going to Popcon, tho. Oh geez, even their namecards are sell-able. I met fashion blogger yet talented artist, if you guys know from bigdreamers blog! Photo and link below.

So, here at POPCON ASIA 2016, there are so many programmes you can enjoy. From workshops, seminars, live drawing competitions, and portfolio reviews. And nearly 40 artisan stands! Selling stuffs like postcards, keychains, original toys, wooden toys, cosplay things, enamel pins, pins, bags, shirts, notebooks, coloring books, and so on. Oh, before I go further, this event held from 12-14th August 2016 at Jakarta Convention Center. Since our works were a high risk stolen by a not responsible one, so BEKRAF or Badan Ekonomi Kreatif opened a booth where YES, we can register our trademark or brand. This is such a good news and main attraction for me. Also, there's an Animamix Exhibition held here.

[EVENT REPORT] Big Bad Wolf Books Indonesia 2016

Hi, folks!

Kembali lagi dengan seri event report di blog ini. Cukup lama sejak event report terakhir. Hari ini, tentang event bazaar buku import dengan diskon besar-besaran yang pertama kali diselenggarakan di Indonesia. Ya, Big Bad Wolf Books Fair Indonesia 2016 yang bertempat di ICE BSD CITY mulai tanggal 30 April sampai 8 Mei 2016 (NONSTOP) dan mengusung tema storage.

Big Bad Wolf, atau yang biasanya disebut BBW ini memang baru pertama kali diadakan di Indonesia. BBW sudah terkenal sejak lama di Negeri Malaysia. Tahun ini, BBW Indonesia dibawa oleh Dyandra dan fully supported oleh Kemendiknas, Bapak Anies Baswedan, dan tentunya Duta Baca Indonesia kita, Najwa Shihab. Sebagaimana disampaikan oleh Ibu Uli selaku Presiden Direktur Jaya Ritel Indonesia di opening ceremony, nama Big Bad Wolf  terinspirasi dari Little Red Riding Hood yang dipercaya sebagai cerita anak-anak pertama yang dibukukan. Seperti kita tahu, disana ada seekor serigala raksasa yang ingin memakan Nenek si gadis kecil, nah, disini, serigala tersebut dilambangkan sebagai pemakan harga buku-buku impor ini.

Pertama kali masuk ke dalam venue, mereka pecinta buku akan disuguhkan dengan sensasi biblichor atau bau buku-buku. BBW membawa kurang lebih 2 juta buku impor yang dibagi per section mulai dari literatur, fiksi (romansa, novel, fantasi, dkk), dan non fiksi (arsitektur, seni, desain, pengembangan diri, referensi, masak, ilmu pengetahuan dkk) dengan harga yang variatif mulai dari Rp. 30.000,- sampai Rp. 300.000,-. Tidak hanya itu, BBW juga menjual buku anak-anak, poster-poster, pajangan lukisan pop art yang dibanderol dengan harga Rp. 320.000,-. Semua buku disini, tentunya dalam bahasa Inggris, yang jika dijual di toko buku bisa kita dapatkan dengan harga 60-80% lebih tinggi. Kita juga diberikan kesempatan untuk berdonasi dengan membeli buku-buku di area membership. Dengan membership, kita bisa mendapatkan diskon tambahan lagi, yang dapat digunakan untuk event selanjutnya dan dikonfirmasi melalui email.

BBW menjadi salah satu ajang yang sangat digemari oleh para pecinta buku di Indonesia. Event ini dihadiri oleh masyarakat dari berbagai kalangan dan umur. BBW juga menjadi ajang bagi para orang tua yang ingin mulai mengajarkan anak mereka membaca menggunakan buku-buku berkualitas. Tidak perlu bingung membawa puluhan buku-buku yang ingin dibeli, karena panitia BBW menyiapkan ratusan trolley bagi setiap pengunjung dan ada porter (voluntir) yang akan dengan ikhlas mau mengantarkan buku-buku kita sampai lobby, tanpa perlu diberi tip. Jika trolley kita dirasakan sudah berat tetapi masih ingin berkeliling melihat-lihat, kita pun bisa menitipkannya di area penitipan, dijamin tidak akan hilang atau acak-acakan.

Walaupun akhirnya saya menghabiskan uang disini, tetapi tidak merasa rugi atau menyesal sedikitpun, karena buku-buku berharga ini bisa saya dapatkan dengan harga yang murah dan masih baru! Saya membeli kumpulan cerita Mark Twain dan hardcover dengan jumlah halaman kurang lebih 300-400 dengan harga Rp. 105.000,- saja! Yuk! Giatkan membaca buku mulai dari sekarang. Selain membantu otak beristirahat dari penatnya pekerjaan, membaca merupakan salah satu cara ampuh mengatasi kepikunan sejak dini.

Sebagian hasil hunting seru selama 4 jam-sampai tidak terpikir foto suasana untuk report.

Sebagai penutup, saya teringat dengan kata-kata Mba Najwa bahwa mereka para pembaca buku adalah orang yang paling bahagia, dan event ini adalah sebagai tempat berkumpulnya orang-orang paling bahagia di Bumi.

LIN Artisan Ice Cream

Hi, Folks? I hope you're doin' good this week!

I (to be honest, my lil sis) found this nitrogen Ice Cream cafe over internet and we decided to take a taste. Its location near Kemang and its named LIN Ice Cream. LIN stands for Liquid Nitrogen. As you guys might know because this is a hype ice cream topics nowadays, YES, you're right, it made from liquid to ice cream using that nitrogen liquid (geez, too complicated). And it was good. The taste are good, I swear. Or because this is my first time? Never mind.

It's located at Kemang (instead of giving you the address, lemme give you the direction) across Pop Hotel Kemang, behind Tamani Cafe and it's such a tricky place. LIN is between Sinsa cafe & Lost&Found cafe (if I'm not mistaken about the lost&found) its logo is deep blue and black (so it's a bit hard to notice, since Sinsa is yellow). The atmosphere is so playful and childish, with tidbits everywhere, they used my favorite cartoon artist, Lim Heng Swee or you called ilovedoodle on Instagram and some other figures. With a style of rustic and wood combined interiors, LIN feels so warm and cozy. They had outdoor too with little garden and unique table & chair.

They also sell coffee, and liquor if you need. This place is well organized, clean and cool. Love love love! Just go grab your feet here if you already feel too hot outside ;)

See those cute chairs? 

Taste    : (y) (y) (y)
Price    : $$$

FYI, they also provide toilet room. Bye! (**this is important)
