Don't just go home after your GBK run! Discover "On Your Right," the perfect post-workout hangout spot located right inside the complex. This bright, cozy cafe is a runner's dream, featuring a special healthy menu with calorie and protein counts to help you refuel properly. Grab their popular Salmon Rice Bowl or a signature coffee and chill at the outdoor seating area, which offers a great view of the running track. It's the ultimate place to relax and recharge.
Every time after a run at GBK, I face the age-old question: where to Nongkrong? All sweaty and don't want to go to a mall for the cold AC, I just want to find a place to chill for a bit and grab some lunch at the same time. Honestly, I've passed by this place inside GBK, `On Your Right`, countless times, and today I finally came to check it out myself.
First impression: it's so bright! ☀️ The large floor-to-ceiling windows let the sunlight pour in without holding back, making the whole space feel warm and cozy. I immediately chose an outdoor seat, watching the people still pushing on the running track while sipping my iced coffee, it felt amazing.[1] The music was also just right, not too loud to disturb your chat with friends. I saw several tables with people working on their laptops, the vibe is truly Mantap!
I ordered the Salmon Rice Bowl[2] that many people recommended and their signature Es Kopi Susu OYR[3]. The salmon rice bowl was more delicate than I expected, it tasted good, and the salmon was seared just right. For someone with a sweet tooth like me, the sweetness of the iced coffee was perfect, it was very smooth, and super refreshing with one sip.
The biggest surprise was that the menu actually has a special healthy section for runners, with things like Cheese Omelette & Sourdough[4], and they thoughtfully list the calorie and protein content[5], it's a godsend for fitness enthusiasts! Anjay, I later found out this place is actually under the Holycow group, no wonder they also have steak on the menu![6]
But I gotta be honest, I have a small complaint. The portion of the rice bowl I ordered was a bit... tiny. For me, having just finished a 10k run, I felt like I was only about 70% full. Considering the price, the value for money is really a matter of personal opinion.[7] As for the service, it wasn't crowded when I went, and the guy serving me was quite friendly, but I've heard it can be a bit slow during peak hours or if you get a new staff member.[8]
