Craving tteokbokki? This Jakarta buffet is a must-try! For just 99k++, dive into an all-you-can-eat paradise of various rice cakes, including amazing cheese-filled ones. Don't miss the unlimited fried snacks like Snowing Cheese Chicken and the epic Cheese Ring add-on. Plus, students get a massive 50% discount! This Halal spot offers an authentic Korean experience, but be prepared for a lively, bustling crowd. It's a carb-lover's dream with a crazy competitive price.
Jujur, every time I pass by this Dookki at Kota Kasablanka, the line is... Anjay! It feels like all the young people in Jakarta are Nongkrong here[1]. Today I finally decided to go for it, bringing you a fresh, first-hand report. A 90-minute battle, read this to see if it's worth it!
A paradise for carb lovers, but also a hell for the indecisive
As soon as you walk in, there's a whole wall of self-service counters. Just for the rice cakes alone, there are several types: round, square, hollow, filled... I declare the cheese-filled rice cakes are the absolute best[2]! Boiled until they're soft and chewy, bursting in your mouth with one bite, it's just pure happiness. Next to it, there's a bunch of unlimited fried snacks. You have to go for that Snowing Cheese Chicken[3], crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. However, some of the fried chicken flavors were a bit too sweet for me, depends on your personal taste though.
You can DIY your own sauce at the sauce station, but a friendly reminder: their medium spicy might be someone else's extra spicy[4]. For my friends who can't handle spice, start with mild, otherwise you'll really be breathing fire! We also added an extra Cheese Ring[5], and watching that waterfall of melted cheese coat the rice cakes, who could resist that?! 🤤
But before we get carried away, let's talk about the downsides
To be fair, this place's pros and cons are equally prominent. First off, the atmosphere. It gets really noisy on weekends and during meal times, so if you're looking to just Chill quietly, you can give this a pass. The service is also a game of luck[6]. The waitress we had this time was super nice and proactively helped us mix our sauce. But I've also heard friends complain that during peak hours, the staff are crazy busy, and you have to shout to get a soup refill.
