'Typology' is taken from a linguistic term that refers to the action of typing, and also categorization of symbols. And yup, the unique concept selection is the main inspiration of this minimalist restaurant. Located around Wijaya in South Jakarta, Typology aims to provide a vessel for the big city's dynamic circles who often hunt for chill and casual place to work, study, or simply looking for inspirations.
The clean and soothing colors of white, green, and wooden brown dominate the entire building. The seating places are spread in rather wide gaps in order to maintain every table's privacy. Honestly though who would be happy to have their privacy disturbed while doing important works, right? At the front corner there's a huge shelf filled with cute little ornaments and partitioned by various types of books, ranging from business, design, humor, and novels that you can read. Such a nice option for killing time while waiting for your friends or relatives to arrive.
Other interesting thing is the decorated walls that portray inspiring quotes! "We do this intentionally so the people who are doing their work here always feel energized and inspired every time they read the quotes," said Andien, Typology's General Manager. Not only that, you will also be facilitated with adequate sources like screen projector, white board, printer, wire plugs at every table, and most importantly, super FAST wifi!

Now let's move further onto the food and drink categories. Still in line with the concept, Typology's menu titles are comprised of familiar font names; such as Times New Caesar Salad, Arial Tuna Pasta, or even Forte Rendang Fried Rice (ok this one is a bit hilarious). Most of them fuse Western and Asian flavors, but still, the champion here is none other than Lao Oxtail Fried Rice! Pretty classic, huh? Of course the fried rice tastes incredibly familiar in our mouth, and it just gets better with the juicy and soft seasoned oxtail as the complimentary. I truly like it a lot though! Such a perfect meal to fill our tummies while continuing our activities. From local category, there's also a unique dish called Flagship Rainbow Rice; four colored that are green from green chilli, black from squid ink, red from tomato, and yellow from turmeric.
and as we all know Fried Oreo has been a trending snack recently, right? Typology attempted to go a little less mainstream by serving Fried Beng Beng! YEAH MY FAV CHOCOLATE BAR EVER IS NOW SALUTED BY FLOUR, MORE CHOCOLATE POWDER AND FRIED UNTIL ITS CRISPY OUTSIDE AND CHEWY INSIDE... ALSO SORRY I JUST HAD TO CAPS THIS BECAUSE I ACTUALLY LOVE IT AND I'M GLAD THEY CAME UP WITH THIS!!! Even if I'm not in the mood for heavy dishes I might still come over for their Fried Beng Beng because dude, what kind of heavenly gift...
Last but not least don't miss out Typology's smoothies creations with interesting selections, just naming a few: Choco Banana, Lychee Honey, Strawberry Watermelon, up to Astor Smoothies (Oh God). Now just like a fully refilled battery, our mind and body have been charged and are now ready to work and grasp ideas. Will I come back here in the future? Ya bet!
