Last weekend, FOOD IN LOVE had a chance to visit Neo Milk Bar with our fellow foodies. Located at Jalan Warung Jati Barat, Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, Neo Milk Bar serving milk in various flavor and a wide variety of Indonesian and western snacks, such as pancake, waffle, toast, etc.
The first thing to notice about this place is its such a tiny place and there is no air conditioning. Pretty small space to move between chairs means you can easily bump others table. To be honest, we don’t really like the ambiance, especially because the lighting is too dark. Even though, they have an outdoor space which is much better with open space and not too cramped. To make you enjoy your time here, Neo Milk Bar also provide board games for you to play with your friends.
Vanilla Fresh Milk
Neo Milk Bar is known for their fresh milk, and one of their signatures is fresh milk with Vanilla flavor. There are 3 kinds of glass size, Regular (350 ml), Large (500 ml), and Family (1000 ml). You also can request in hot or cool, and we tried their Ice Vanilla Fresh Milk in Family size. The milk was really refreshing and the most important is, they don’t add any sugar or sweetener!
Fresh Milk with Milo Flavor
Milo is undoubtedly one of the most favorites milk for everyone and we love their ideas of serving fresh milk in Milo flavor which is a killer combination!
Vanilla Mojito
Not only fresh milk, Neo Milk Bar also serving milkshakes in various flavor. We tried their Vanilla Mojito and surprisingly its turn out so good. The mojito flavor was refreshing with cereal topping.
Vanilla Cheese
Another milkshake that we’ve tried is Vanilla Cheese. This is a vanilla milkshake topped with grated cheese. To be honest, this not our favorite. It tastes a little bit salty and too creamy. We don’t think that this a suitable combination.
Pancake Roll Cheezy
Neo Milk Bar serve a unique roll pancake. The one we’ve tried is Pancake Roll Cheezy with cheddar and mozzarella. Unfortunately, it tastes too salty since it’s dominated by cheese flavor.
Rainbow Pancake
This rainbow pancake undoubtedly has a very beautiful presentation. It’s such a very photogenic pancake with its colorful layers. But for the flavor, it tastes too sweet and the dough is quite hard with a rough texture.
Pancake Noodles Greentea
Normally, noodle or pasta had a salty or savory flavor. But, not with this Pancake Noodle Greentea, a unique creation from Neo Milk Bar. The noodle is made up from greentea, so it tastes sweet. The green tea noodle topped with ice cream and cereal. Sorry to say, it’s an epic fail and the taste is unacceptable for us.
Pizza Pancake Sweet
This sweet pizza pancake is topped with various topping, such as nutella, peanuts, strawberry jam, froot loops, and oreo. The presentation was very nice and it tastes better than pancake roll or rainbow pancake. It’s not too sweet and the tastes were still acceptable.
Pizza Pancake Salt
This is the best from another pancakes that we’ve tried and we guess maybe because it’s not too different from ordinary and classic pizza. The Pizza Pancake Salt is topped with sausage, mozzarella, cheddar, and smoked beef.
Poffertjes with Ice Cream
For a sweet ending, this will be a good choice. Poffertjes are a traditional Dutch batter treat. Resembling small, fluffy pancakes, they are made with yeast and buckwheat flour. It has a light and spongy texture. Topped with chocolate flavor and ice cream, this poffertjes is so addictive!
Overall, Neo Milk Bar is a recommended spot to enjoy fresh milk. We love their ideas of serving milk in various flavor which is good for me as a coffee and milk lover. Their fresh milk and milkshake were really good and refreshing, but for other snacks, some dishes were nice, but some still need improvement, especially for pancakes. Another concern was more on the decoration of the place. We really think they need to put more light so it looks brighter because it’s too fuzzy now. Also hoping they will have a room with AC in the near future. Since they’re open until 1 AM, it can be a nice getaway place on midnight while enjoying fresh milk and snacks!
