Last weekend I was invited by Openrice to attended Gathering at Never Been Better - Kemang. According of of the owner, Never Been Better mengusung tema Industrial. All furniture that used here was recycle. Ini terlihat, when we first step into Never Been Better area. Jika diperhatikan lebih dekat, board name in the entrance itu terbuat dari kotak minuman loohh... Belum lagi meja-meja nya yang terbuat dari bekas gulungan kabel, lampu yang terbuat dari hanger dan dirigen minyak, even inside the resto, they have tables with wheels, jadi semacam rail gitu. Kursi nya juga mengambil tema kursi-kursi di metromini. Bahkan Menu card nya berupa bahan recycle juga. What a creative jobs!!
Never Been Better juga mengusung open kitchen, so we can see what happen behind the kitchen. Di depan kitchen nya itu ada semacam meja dan kursi, jadi ala-ala warung gitu. Dan mata saya terpaku pada salah satu sudut meja tersebut. Ada beberapa permainan seperti ludo, ular tangga dan ludo. Saya langsung membayangkan... asiikk banget kalo dateng ramai-ramain sama teman-teman, cemal cemil sambil main. Apalagi disini juga free WI-FI. WI-FI nya ngebuutt koneksi nya.

| Alfonso, 1 of the owner, gave a lil speech about Never Been Better |
Untuk soal makanan, agak nya Never Been Better menyajikan menu yang tidak terlalu berat. Menu nasi tetap disajikan. But still not too heavy. On the last gathering, Never Been Better menyajikan menu ala Buffet for the Openricers.
Here comes the menu parade...
 |
| Salad 18k |
Salad di Never Been Better served fresh. Contained lettuce, tomato, mushroom and beef. Pour with homemade dressing. It al blend well. Love it
 |
| Nasi Goreng Hijau 24k |
This fried rice quite unique. Why? Karena nasi goreng hijau ini sangat kaya aroma. Seperti aroma rempah dan aroma daun jeruk. The chef said the green come from the traditional chilli and the water spinach. No wonder it's a bit spicy. Served with chicken chunk, scrambled eggs, tempe dan taburan kacang tanah sangrai.
 |
| Spaghetti Bolognese 28k |
Spaghetti Bolognese made from special homemade tomato pasta, minced meat and parmesan. The sauce a bit sour and thick. Sehingga memakan spaghetti ini akan cukup mengenyangkan dan membuat blenger. But the spaghetti cooked well, tidak keras and not overcooked too.
 |
| Rice Beef Teriyaki 32k |
Beef Teriyaki di Never Been Better bertekstur kering. Teriyaki I know, biasa nya sedikit basah. But here, the beef mixed with the eggs. Teriyaki sauce nya kurang berasa, kurang tasty. Beef nya juga a bit chewy. Hard to bite. Really need improvement on this menu.
 |
| Banana Balls 16k |
This fried banana balls adalah makanan penutup gathering kali ini. Pisang goreng berbentuk bola-bola dengan taburan coklat cair dan keju parut. Pisang nya manis dan adonan tepung nya enak. Nice to try.
 |
| Ice Tea 12k |
After all those food that served, Ice Tea adalah pilihan yang tepat untuk menemani acara makan saya. Kami disediakan Ice Tea yang kami racik sendiri pada acara gathering yang lalu. Jadi rasa manis nya bisa disesuaikan dengan selera. But I like it plain without any sugar.
Overal, Never Been Better is nice place to hangout. Bisa santai-santai ditemani menu makanan yang harga nya bersahabat. But Never Been Better still need improvement in few things. Such as more clean restroom, keep the flies disappear, and more various menus. Other than that, Never Been Better worth to try to visit.
