Actually
I do not particularly like to dinner in ​​Plaza Indonesia area, not only because
this is a high class mall but I feel like it’s too 'lame' to join with socialites
women or aunties who dress up glamorously while carrying their favourite
branded bag and dining in several resto here hahaha (yeah okay it’s just in my
mind, I’m not judging). But then, how can I resist an
invitation from my friends to taste a recently-established restaurant even
though I should again sit next to the ladies carrying Hermes. Oh God not again!
Well, first thing on my mind when I stared at a word ‘Honest Food with Attitude’,
in front of the resto, was ‘Do they serve that?’. I kept my thought first while
waiting for some of other friends and looked around this fancy resto. Anyway, I
adore their interior, how they could arrange a not-so-spacious place to one
minimalist but looking glamour and chic by putting grey and silver in most of
their furniture also with many mirrors embedded on the wall. It’s Victorian
style indeed, but juggled adequately. At least I don’t have to bring the Hermes
or LV to dine here hahaha…
I love how they set their
entire interior, from the broken white engraved lamp to wine buffet, from the
cake tire which make the cake seems delish to a tissue embellished with a word ‘Call
Me 2992 3868’. It quite honest like a guy put his cell phone number in the club
to ask you join his next drink invitation or sort of ask you a date ;-) .
Talking about honest, Madame honestly is declaring that they serve Indonesian
fusion cuisines which again raise my curiousness. As I opened the menu book, I
saw their honest trying to serve various kind of Indonesian with internasional
fusion such as in Pizza Tuna Sambal Matah or Spaghetti Tuna Sambal Matah. The
rest is various kind of Indonesian food such as Rendang Wagyu, Sop Buntut, Nasi
Bali paired with various kind of western and Italian food such as pasta, salad,
roast chicken, grilled chicken and of course desserts that I could not resist.
So, here’s I tried to
open my stomach honestly tasted their food. The first I tasted Dory Cream
Chowder (52K). This is a thick condensed soup consists of dory and cream. I
thought it’s more like cream soup with dory and some potatoes, carrots and
chicken cutlets inside. It’s a lil bit tasty, not too creamy. It just went well
on my stomach and great to open my taste buds.
Next is Nasi Bali
(89,5K) which I wanna say honestly that the portion is inversely disproportional
with the price. However, I still interest with the overall combination served.
The tiny satays (sate lilit) were delish, flavourful and quite tender, so did
the shredded chicken and Pindang boiled egg, but I didn’t find any surprising flavour
in its shredded vegetables or Indonesian called it ‘urap’. It is too plain for
me. Overall, it’s good trying, if I can tell Madame directly, I wanna say
please reconsider the portion, Madame. It’s too tiny for the high price.
After Indonesian
fusion, I had BBQ Chicken Pizza (78K) with an unusual kind of serving; the
pizza was made in a rectangular shape and placed in also wooden rectangular
pan. Soft dough with rich of BBQ flavour and their melted cheese just make me
feel head over heels.
Cream Dory Mille
Feuille (88K). Ah this dish too fancy for me. At first, I worried the taste
wasn’t as good as its appearance but after munching the crunchy chips covered
with melted cream and the juicy dory, I could say to myself to not judge a book
by its cover. One thing I, again, regretted was only the price and the portion.
Compared to the previous Nasi Bali, this is much more overrated! Do you think the
same, Madame?
Finally, the night was
closed with Honey Comb Crunch Cake (40,5K). It had a soft texture more like
chiffon cake with a sweet cream and honey comb crunch cutlets. I didn’t put my
interest on the cake, but I love the honey comb crunch, the caramel flavour made
me want to munch it more and more. Satisfy my sweet tooth madness!
And oh the drink, I
tasted several mocktails and latte of them (left to right, clockwise):
Apple Kiwi Crumble
(44.5K). This is fresh kiwi and apple topped up with soda. It’s indeed
refreshing!
Strawberry Peach Crumble
(44.5K). This is fresh strawberry and peach topped up with soda, compared to
the previous, this one more bitter and the soda I didn’t know more shocking in
my tongue.
Berries Ice Tea
(44.5K). This is a great fusion of strawberry and cranberry. Sweet enough and
also refreshing!
Green Tea Latte. The green
tea was well-blended with the latte. It just great for me.
If I should be honest
about their price, I would say that they are overrated. They start the appetizer
to main course from to dessert in range of IDR38.000 to 300.000, while the
desserts are from IDR IDR25.000 to
97.500. Beverages start from IDR35.500 to 95.500.
Overall, I really
enjoy dinner here but after I leave the resto, I feel like I wanna drop my
honest comment about what actually they want to offer. They are not a fine
dining restaurant but why should they embed an overrated price for a very tiny
portion. They might be located at a high class mal but I thought their
competitor doesn’t put too much price for a tiny portion. I thought that…ah too
many thought in my mind…Let Madame answer the reason with their heart honestly
and action with their respectable attitude.

DeleteToward the day's end it is truly dependent upon the host to conclude the amount she can stand to spend on food and how long she has accessible for arrangement. https://twitchviral.com/
