Monolog

As the front of their menu suggests, Monolog mostly serves comfort food that can be classified as either everyone�s fave or little addiction. You can expect to find crepes, pancakes, good quality coffee, all day breakfast, sandwiches, panini and as such at this venue.

This place is popular with the early bird crowd or those who like to breakfast as by 7 am, it is already filled with people either having their coffee to go or sitting down and enjoying their All Day breakfast. Their popularity is also due to the strategic location of Monolog, which is located right in the basement parking lot of Plaza Senayan, sandwiched between the mall and the office building.

For breakfast, their coffees and all day breakfast are the star picks. The Monolog Sunrise Breakfast consists of 2 eggs cooked whichever way you choose, beef bratwurst sausages, potato, a slice of beef ham, sautéed mushrooms, whole wheat toast and a dollop of good butter. For those who prefer a sweeter start to the day, you can order the breakfast set with pancakes and grilled banana.

During lunch time, it seems that people opt for the sweet desserts, and they mainly order the Brandy Banana Nutella which comes with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream served on top of a soft stack of pancakes. The light fluffy pancakes with the caramelised banana and nutella will surely put you on a serious sugar high for the rest of the day.

When dinner time rolls in, Monolog becomes more packed then ever and it is quite refreshing to see that people are still drinking iced coffee late into the night. Their iced coffee drinks have pretty girls' names such as Heidi, Lucy and Emma. It is quite delightful that you can have peanut butter, butterscotch, vanilla vodka and apple vodka in your coffee. The favourite so far has to be the the non alcoholic Butterscotch Passionfruit latte which after a long day's work in hot humid Jakarta comes as the ultimate refreshing beverage.
