Escape to a "Little Bali" in Tangerang at Livingstone, located in Carstensz Mall. This photogenic cafe is a paradise for pet parents, welcoming furry friends into its cool, air-conditioned interior. Soak up the sun-drenched, vacation-like atmosphere with rattan decor and lush greenery. Don't miss the signature fall-off-the-bone Balinese BBQ Pork Ribs or their famous baked goods. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing day out with your beloved pet, offering a true Bali vibe close to home.
Who gets it, guys? I was halfway through exploring Carstensz Mall in Tangerang when I stumbled right into a "Little Bali"! I'm talking about this place, Livingstone, which came all the way from Bali. Most importantly, it's pet-friendly, so you can bring your fur babies into the air-conditioned room to chill[1] together! Anjay! For pet parents in Jakarta, this is a total blessing, right!
Pretending to Nongkrong in Bali
The moment you walk in, the vibe is just right. It's definitely not one of those half-assed, internet-famous spots. Sunlight streams in through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, your eyes are filled with rattan chairs and tons of greenery, and there's a faint aroma of roasting coffee in the air[2]. Every corner is super photogenic, and you just feel yourself relax. It really has the feel of being on vacation in Bali.
Food-wise, since it's from Bali, the signature Balinese BBQ Pork Ribs[3] is a must-order! The pork ribs are roasted until they're truly fall-off-the-bone tender. The sweet and savory sauce with rice and sambal matah... one bite and it's just Mantap! Their baked goods are also a strong point; you basically can't go wrong ordering any of their croissants, tarts, and other pastries[4]. The coffee beans are also from Bali, but the taste is a matter of personal preference. A friend of mine found it a bit bitter and sour[5], but the latte I ordered was fine, pretty standard I'd say.
Praise First, Then Critique. Let's Be Real
OK, let's get real. The ambiance and service are truly impeccable, but to be honest, the portion sizes and prices... they do make your wallet hurt a bit. 😅
My friend ordered the fries with shredded meat, and for 120k, they only gave such a tiny bit of meat. We looked at each other and just laughed; it felt like an appetizer[6]. Also, the salmon pasta had a pitiful amount of salmon. It feels like value for money is definitely their weak point. If you want to get full, you might need to order a few more dishes.
