Boncafe restaurant which name spell Bongcafe was taken from France word is a family restaurant business that success to establish itself for more than 35 years. I've known this restaurant since I was a little girl and at many occasions my parents often brought me and my brother and sisters to eat there, to celebrate a birthday, to celebrate any special moment or just for having dinner or lunch. The restaurant has many branches in Surabaya but the head quarter remained still at Jl. Manyar Kertoarjo for years. The food like the well known famous T-bone steak and spring chicken not change for years, the secret steak sauce recipe is one of the restaurant best favorite.
This is the pastry soup for my appetizer the price is IDR25000 or SGD$4 or US$3. Like usual pastry soup below the pastry puff is the cream soup the content include mushroom, carrot, peas, and chicken MEAT.
While I was in Singapore I longed so much for food in Boncafe especially the T-bone steak and finally after a long wait I have a chance to taste it again. What is so much much that I missed from thee steak is that the taste is traditional old steak house not varied. Before the steak is serve there is a sweet bread with butter as a complimentary for every steak menu which i like too because the bread is soft and it's freshly made everyday. Not Just Boncafe own restaurants they also own bakery and supermarket, their bakery is great at making bread, cookies, jelly, pudding, etc.
This is the traditional t-bone steak that I'm dying for may be I sound that I'm exaggerating but I eat this since I was little, my parents eating it when they were married young, every family members of mine love this menu so much. On top of the meat got mushroom toast with onion. The taste of the meat is ordinary but it's quite sweet and could taste the black paper of marinated meat with baked potato, we also can change the baked potato to french fries. The veggie that served is healthy since it's not frozen but it's daily made while the sauce is delicious. The taste of the sauce is sweet, sour, can feel the meat stock. The meat is always tender and it's a local meat so it's not fatty but it's crunchy.Its served on a hotplate and the waiter will do free refill souce anytime the costumer want. The price is about IDR68000 (SG$10 or US$7.6).
This is "Chef's Salad" which my sister ordered. it's ordinary salad with 3 different meat in a mall quantity. The content include lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, eggs, onions, shrimp, beef steak, and sausage with thousand island dressing which i think is too sweet and not sour enough. Don't really like this salad since it's too heavy as appetizer but to light as the main meal. The price is IDR27500 (SGD$4 or US$3).
This is what my sister ordered "Chicken Gordon Blue", each steak house present different kind of Chicken gordon blue in ordinary it's chicken breast which filled with chicken ham and cheese on the center then deep fried it. In Boncafe it's same but this is not their specialty so I won't suggest anyone to order is the taste is not great even though their folloing the original method. The price is IDR51000 (SG$7.8 or US$5.7).
This is "Hamburger Steak Deluxe Bismark". Like ordinary humberger steak it's humble menu but delicious one and has to try one in Boncafe, It's one of me and my nephew's favorite menu. The price is IDR43000 (SG$6.2 or US$5). This menu can ask with or without egg. However should add the sauce for all of the steak menu since it's the ingredient to make it more yummy without it it won't be delightful.
This is "Spring Chicken" one of the best Boncafe specialty. A baby chicken that marinate with pepper and salt then deep fried, right before served its splash with brandy then burn slightly. The chicken taste sweet and crunchy however it's not for people with sore-throat since the whole chicken is covered with black pepper. For half chicken the price is IDR30000 (SG$4.5 or US$3.4), 1 whole chicken is IDR48000 (SG$7 or US$5.4). Its served with veggie and french fries/baked potato on a different plate. 
As for the drink my sister ask for "Es Puter" inside got red pearl, ketan hijau, coconut flesh and chocolate ice puter. It's one of Indonesian favorite ice traditionally making usually made made from coconut milk. The taste is usual but I won't suggest this for anyone who got cold since it's high on sugar and not healthy. As for the price I forgot to write it down .
