Eastern Kopi TM — Restaurant in Kota Bekasi

I am here today considering that I am going to have a great afternoon tea time. I do believe that every place has their own recipe and style, but hospitality is a must.

*W: waiter

W welcome me and let me sit on the place I pointed.

He asked me to wait for he will be taking the menu book. After he came back, one family needs a baby chair and another W is working on it. My W keeps talking to his friend who’s working on the baby chair. Why don’t you give the menu book so I can see it while you’re helping your friend?

While waiting for my food I saw a W who wore a white polo scratching his head, YOU ARE WORKING IN THE KITCHEN. EDUCATE YOURSELF. HYGIENE!

I ordered asian favorite, as I said before every place has their own taste, but this one is tacky. Worse, when I asked for a spoon, one W only turn his head and asked: ‘what?’ without even turning his body.

It’s a shame since this place is almost always a full house player in this mall or even in the other mall. Management should be doing QC better and more strict.

PLEASE.

And just before I pay my dish one W was smiling next to the kitchen. Bruh. You ruined...

Eastern Kopi TM Sumarrecon Mall Bekasi tepatnya di Lantai Ground Sumarrecon Mall Bekasi (SMB), Downtown Walk. Tempatnya ada non-smoking room (indoor) dan smoking room (semi-outdoor mengarah ke in-mall alley Downtown Walk SMB). Seat-nya nyaman, dekorasinya unik ada sepeda onthel buat hiasan berkesan retro hahaha.

Dari menu dan konsep kopi tiam-nya, nuansa Malaysian Chinese Food sangat kental sekali. Menunya banyak influence dari Tiongkok selatan (Taiwan, Hong Kong, Pulai Hainan, dll.) Pernah pesan Nasi Hainam Bebek Panggang, Nasi Hainam Ayam Rebus, Shanghai Dumpling, sama Vietnam Drip. Nasi Hainam Bebek Panggang isinya nasi hainan, bebek panggang, telur pindang in half, kuah, acar, dan sambal. Nasinya gurih dan harum khas nasi hainan, bebek panggangnya oke, empuk, kulitnya agak fatty dan juicy. Kuah kaldunya sangat menyegarkan. Nasi Hainam Ayam Rebus konfigurasinya mau mirip Nasi Hainam Bebek Panggang, bedanya pakai ayam rebus dan tambahan minyak bawang on side. Ayam rebusnya enak, lembut dan natural. Shanghai Dumpling isinya dumplings, irisan daun bawang, dan bok choy. Karena namanya Shanghai Dumpling, saya awalnya mikir ini xiaolongbao, tapi kayanya bukan, bentuknya gak bundar dan dalamnya no soup, jadi lebih mirip pangsit rebus dengan kulit tipis. Tapi masih tetep enak kok, isiannya berasa.

Pernah juga nyobain Bakmi Laksa Singapore, isinya mie dengan kuah laksa cukup kental, lengkap dengan tahu, udang, dan telur puyuh. Rasanya enak dan cukup mengenyangkan. So far so good, will definitely come again.

Kemarin sempat ke sini lagi waktu pulang ke Indonesia saat winter break. Nyobain ayam rebusnya, rasanya 白切鸡 (steamed chicken) yang kebetulan saya coba di kantin kampus saya di Tiongkok. Rasanya cukup identik yang artinya menggunakan resep yang otentik ala Hong Kong dan southern China region lainnya.

Nyobain juga Mie Penang, mie ala Malaysia. Tampilannya menggugah selera, tampilannya mirip mie Aceh, mienya tebal, cenderung lurus, ada udang dan potongan baksonya. Look-nya mungkin mirip mie Aceh, tapi rasanya lebih ke oriental. Gurih, asin, dan relatif lebih ringan di rempahnya.

Nyobain Lumpia Saus Tiram juga, isinya lumpia goreng (isian sayur dan udang) yang disiram saus tiram. Gurih, asin,...

Over many years my family and i have enjoyed this place. Sadly post Covid its has continued to disappoint. The payment system of upfront payment is slow and counter productive for the customer. They continue to get orders incorrect. Limited staff trying to cover many roles. To the management- Get more staff! To the kitchen- How hard is it to ensure ALL meals ordered are served same time. My food came out, taste average. 15min later my daughter got her tahu. 35min and many times chasing my wife got her food. Very poor overall! Please improve your service and process and organisation to what you...
