First impression, I think Antler Cabin is quite nice, and homey. Although it isn't very spacious, but the interior design and decoration can make up for it, and it feels like a real cabin inside. They really go all out with the whole decoration and furnitures to create a cabin concept, with a fireplace, rug, animal skin and of course the antler. 

They provide smoking area outdoor, first floor cabin, and second floor cabin. One thing that could be improve is probably the second floor air-conditioner, since it is pretty hot up there. 

(Something about this picture intrigues and calms me idk why :P)

I think Christmas is also the best time to visit here, with Christmas lights and decoration, this place seems more alive and very well suited for Christmas. It would also be nice if you can booked the whole place for a mini intimate Christmas gathering. Moving on to the food and beverages...

(Aglio E' Olio - 47k)

(Christmas Camo Latte - 36k)

This one is a combination of espresso, red velvet, chocolate, and milk. Tastes very good and it's a Christmas special!

(Countryside Chicken - 58k)

(Rocky Sandwich - 52k)

(Hot Chocolate - 32k)

IMO, the food tastes good, but not exceptionally good. They can improve both the portion and the taste. But it would be a very good place to have meals during Christmas, and you can also check their Christmas Set Menu in the picture above. I hope it's not to late for you to book any cafe to celebrate with your loved ones, I hope you have a great Christmas, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Can't really say it's a review, because here there are various tenants and they change every one month, following their magazine editions. I know it might be too late because they will change the tenants after this on November, but I was pre-occupied with homeworks and projects :( #UniLifeSucks. So I decided I would just share this pictures anyway, because it might be a waste not to, and I figured you can also order the food from some tenants although they are not in Intro anymore. So, enjoy!

Some photos are a little gloomy, and it might be due to the rainy weather or the wrong setting on my camera :( I want to edit it to look cleaner and brighter, but I'm afraid it will not look natural.

So there you go, I hope you get the chance to try them before November,

Thank you for reading!

Had heard a lot of good reviews about Carnivor, and I finally get to try it last week! *yay* I was already interested to come here even when the building was half done, because the wood and stone and black window sills are just asdfghjkl, it's like a huge cabin! The amount of cars parked on the streetside is crazy everytime I pass through, and you can book on weekdays but not on weekends. Based on my experience, you'd have to queue during lunch time, because the amount of people who are interested in this beautiful new culinary place is no joke. 

So first, I only get to take limited amount of picture because it was quite crowded, and I'm quite an introvert so I don't really feel comfortable sneaking around crowds of strangers or taking pictures of crowds eating because I feel like I might disturb their privacy.

As far as I know, the restaurant is separated into 3 sections: First the main dining area, where you can directly see when you come in :

Outdoor area (which are just so pretty with all the hanging greenies and water fountain and spacious area) :

And bar area which I didn't get to take a picture of because it is a secluded area and it was full. But it is basically right behind this water fountain:

They also provide a quite big VIP room, but again it was crowded and quite dark at that time, so I only managed to take a picture of half of the room, which is also the place where I ended up sitting :

Now moving on to the food! *whoop whoop*

(Chicken Cordon Bleu - 60-70k)

I am not surprised with the portion because it was in teenage meals category. It is okay though, because the chicken cordon bleu tastes crunchy on the outside, the chicken meat tastes tender inside, and the cheese complements it really well. I don't really remember the exact price, though.

(American Bacon - 80k)

My favourite from all the menu I ordered! The portion amount is generous, meat is tender and juicy, bacon is crispy just the way I like it, and the cheese melted perfectly! Truly satisfies a carnivor's craving! Definitely a must try <3

(Baby Back Ribs - Large 700 gr - 195k)

The ribs was huge, too bad it mostly caused by the big bone instead of meat :( However, the texture was perfect and the bbq glaze is amazing as well. I wouldn't recommend to pour too much of the sauce though, because I think it tasted a little bit too sweet, and it might destroy the original taste of the ribs. 

Their service was nice, although a bit slow but it's understandable because it is so crowded. One thing that gives a little discomfort to me is when they play pop song out loud, and I was in VIP room where it is quite secluded, so the speaker even sounds louder. I think it'd be nice to just play instrumental music with a quite low volume, because the crowds is noisy enough. Overall, I think Carnivor is a very good place to eat, both interior aesthetic wise and food taste wise. I would definitely come back to eat here again, and I would certainly recommend you to go here!
