ifStop started out in early 2011 with their first outlet in the suburb of Bintaro. Their second outlet opened last August on Jalan K. H.

Try them all, and see which one is your favorite! The Australian Angus Beef and Cheese Burger (42.5k) is another winner here at BifStop; homemade beef patties with 80% lean meat and 20% fat, with cheddar cheese, served on a sesame seed bun, plus butter coated fries and side salad. BifStop really knows how to treat the meat. Other than Australian meats, they also have a New Zealand beef. The NZ Rib Eye (68k) is a great choice.
