Liberica and Hakata Men-Oh - Tangerang (AEON Mall)

So everyone, I was quite busy last week and today I will be writing about my dining experience in AEON Mall BSD. Last Thursday I had to visit one of my clients in AEON Mall BSD, a chance I was gladly taking because since I live in the center of Jakarta, I will not bother going to this mall if it is not because of job related matter. Some friendly advice, if you cannot stand some crowd, please give second thought about visiting this mall in the near future. Although it has almost been a month since their opening day and it was weekday when I went there, AEON BSD was still crowded. I thought it will be just the supermarket area, but I was proven to be wrong because almost all the restaurants were full.
Since some of my friends were close by that day, we decided to hang out when I was done with my meeting. The meeting ended quite early and I was a little bit sleepy so I decided to stop by at Liberica and put some caffeine into my blood stream
Hot Classic Latte (IDR40k++) 
I am quite surprised with the latte because usually I am quite skeptical with the quality of coffee product which are served in a coffee shop chains like Liberica. But I was proven to be wrong because I think my coffee is just the way I like it. Not too acidic, not too creamy.


When I was done with my caffeine filling activity, my friends arrived and we moved to the ramen village on the third floor because the all of the restaurants on the first floor were full and packed. Because everyone was so hungry, we chose ramen shop with the least amount of waiting lines which was Hakata Men-Oh.

Pork Curry Rice (IDR74k++)
Mediocre and overpriced. I am pretty sure the curry sauce are made from Golden Curry. Very disappointed with my curry. If you want to eat good curry rice, you had better go to Coco Ichibanya or Taichan Ramen.

 Chasu Ramen (IDR 79k++)
And I thought the ramen will be better... The chasu is okay, the noodle itself is quite acceptable although not good, but I really hate the broth. Did not even bother finishing the ramen.

Pork Gyoza and Grilled Chasu (IDR 40k++ for each)
I thought they should be served as side dish or appetizer but seems like for our case, they were served as dessert. Our meal had ended for like 15 minutes and the gyoza and grilled chasu was just served. The taste is mediocre just like the other dishes.

I do not know whether my palate was at fault or the food itself was so bad, but I really do not like the food that they served. Just a suggestion, if you like ramen, Ikkudo will not disappoint. If you like gyoza and curry, go to Taichan ramen as they will not disappoint as well.
If I am given a chance to visit AEON Mall again, I will try other restaurants because Hakata Men-Oh certainly let me down.
I will go to Liberica again though since imho the coffee was really nice. And to my surprise, Liberica got more crowded as the night continues. I left the AEON Mall at approximately 10PM and Liberica was still full of people. I wonder if the visitor does not work the next day.
I will just write the address of Liberica since I do not think Hakata Men-Oh is worth mentioning.
