Kapanlagi.com - Written by Rachel Carisa Oswandi

Lately, the online world has been in turmoil due to the feud between food vloggers as a result of an honest review of Warung Madun Oseng Nyak Kopsah. A food vlogger named Aa Juju or known by the username @makanlurr became the cause of this feud because of the honest review he gave. Farida Nurhan, a veteran food vlogger, felt upset with Juju's honest review, which she considered detrimental to the eatery. The issue between them has attracted the attention of another food vlogger named Codeblu, who wants to prove the truth of Juju's honest review. 

However, instead of the issue subsiding, it has now escalated to involve the authorities. Even Farida Nurhan is threatened with 6 years in prison as a result of the alleged doxing she did to Codeblu. Who would have thought that simply reviewing food honestly could cause a feud that still shows no signs of peace.

Becoming a food vlogger seems to be a job that cannot be taken lightly. Although it may seem enjoyable to eat in front of the camera, there are quite a few challenges to being a food vlogger. Here are 5 food vloggers who often review food honestly like Juju, let's find out who they are!

1. Makanlurr (Aa Juju)

This food vlogger often shares food reviews through the TikTok platform with the username @makanlurr, which now has 802 thousand followers. He began his career by creating playful tutorial videos on how to eat at famous restaurants. His initial viral video was when he reviewed an expensive street food stall. 

Juju reviews almost all types of restaurants, from simple food stalls to luxurious mall restaurants. The reviews he provides include the taste of the food, the reasonable price, and the service of the restaurant. At Warung Madun Oseng Nyak Kopsah, he criticized the unpleasant smell, the place filled with trash, and the unreasonably high prices that contradicted the taste of the food served.

2. Codeblu

Codeblu is a TikTok food vlogger, a victim of alleged doxing by Farida Nurhan. This food vlogger keeps his personal information private, as evidenced by the content he creates always with a voice over without recording his real face. Feeling aggrieved, Codeblu threatened to report Farida Nurhan to the authorities.

This food vlogger offers unique and different review content from most food vloggers, the phrases 'ara-ara' and 'which cake is this' are Codeblu's trademarks. He is not afraid to give harsh comments or criticisms if the food served is not tasty and up to standard. He gave Warung Makan Oseng Nyak Kopsah a rating of 3/10 because of its uncomfortable place, unfriendly prices, poorly seasoned dishes, and lack of freshness.

3. Korum

Same as Codeblu, this food vlogger also never shows his face when reviewing food. The user named @kokyruma has 275 thousand followers on Tiktok filled with honest food review content. Korum is also an F&B consultant like Codeblu, so it's no wonder that he is an expert in reviewing food.

Korum reviews food honestly but uses a softer tone than Codeblu while still being spicy in giving criticism. He usually evaluates the taste and quality of the food. It is not uncommon for him to find food that is not fresh and does not meet standards. At the end of the video, he also reveals the bill from the restaurant he reviews.

4. JWest Bros

Unlike the previous three food vloggers, this one is famous for his content on Youtube. JWest Bros is also one of the veteran food vloggers who has been reviewing food for quite a long time. They often encounter problems with restaurant owners as a result of their honest reviews.

They once did an honest review of celebrity Rachel Vennya's food in the segment FOR FOOD SAKE three years ago. JWest Bros presents honest reviews without directly going to the restaurant to avoid receiving special treatment as food vloggers. Unfortunately, they didn't even have the opportunity to review because they had to wait in a long queue and the ordering system was unclear. The concept of their reviews is unique because viewers can judge directly based on the actual treatment of the restaurant towards customers. 

5. Mamank Kuliner

Youtuber with 657 thousand subscribers, Mamank Kuliner is quite active in creating various content review segments that will greatly help viewers evaluate a food before buying it. Mamank Kuliner also often reviews food ordered through online motorcycle taxi applications.

Some interesting segments where he honestly reviews a food are, SAD FOOD, ZERO STAR, CONSUMER VOICE, and many more. He often reviews 1-star food to assess the suitability of the given rating. In addition, Mamank Kuliner also directly visits restaurants that are considered popular to prove the quality of the restaurant. Like other food vloggers, he is not afraid to give negative comments if the food does not meet his standards.
