Beatus, Surabaya

For those who lives here in Surabaya, you must've heard about Beatus Alfresco dining & grill and its famous dish. It is the soon-to-be-legendary Caramelized Butter Crab. My bf and I have heard good things about the experience, and I decided to treat him there on my birthday. Needless to say the meal exceeded everything I had expected. We were blown away with our meal. Im not a fan of seafood but this was simply the best crab meal I can find in Surabaya. The tasty sauce worth every penny. Both my bf and I had happy, full bellies after leaving. In conclusion, I'd encourage anyone who has any interest in dining here to make a reservation and try it out because you will sit down to a meal you won't soon forget. I spent like IDR 900.000 or $70 for 2 portions of crab (around 400g each). Crab comes with rice.

LaReia Cake & Co Cafe, Surabaya

My bf and I found this fancy cafe during our unemployed hour when we walked around the mall (Ciputra World Surabaya). It's located next to the end of long escalator at the 3rd floor. I then decided to have a quick brunch the other day with my other friends there. We ordered brunch menus and hot tea from Gryphon. Over all, we weren't blown away by the brunch menus. I found it too expensive for the decent taste. I suggest you to order the desserts and hot tea instead. However, it was a nice place to sit down, enjoy a cup of tea, and take selfies :p because of the pleasant atmosphere, clean interior, and supportive lighting. They really had a good taste to make the place lovely as well as relaxing.
