Day In Dang Wangi
KH made reservations for Joloko after hearing about it from friends. The menu features Caribbean cuisine paired with lots of Tequila and Mezcal. The restaurant seems to be hidden by lush foliage with no obvious signboard out front. We had the Tuna, Crab, and Prawn Ceviche, and followed with Jamaican Jerk Chicken. Delicious food, but a tad too expensive in my opinion. Our dining experience was a little bizarre due to the playlist that was basically male orgasmic sounds.
The day was really hot, so we walked over to Licky Chan & The Poke Guy for ice cream. Another place without an obvious signboard-- just a few rusting letters welded onto a metal fence. Joloko customers could present their receipt for a discount, but KH and I didn't make use of the promotion. :(. Licky Chan offers a unique selection of flavours, both halal and non-halal. Of course, we chose something with alcohol in it. The Cone-Ichiwa! is a combination of white chocolate, strawberries, sake, and (get this) wasabi. In case you're wondering about the Poke Guy, it refers to a tattoo artist who shares the space, so don't expect to find a poke bowl on the menu.
Then we looked for coffee at Tapestry but it was a full house. Roamed the back alleys instead admiring all the street art. Before we melted in the heat, we retreated to Gavel Coffee Kitchen. It was quiet, was air-conditioned, and it had decent coffee.
