Canteen, Plaza Indonesia

(This is a pending review since 3 weeks ago.)

Me and my friend, W, decided to meet at Plaza Indonesia after work. Unfortunately it was raining hard and so it was so hard to get the transportation. I waited almost 45minutes just to get angkot from ITC Ambasador. Then i decided to take ojek to the busway station and took busway to avoid traffic around Bunderan HI. And finally i arrived around 7PM at Plaza Indonesia, met W at the bus stop in front of Plaza Indonesia and went straight to Canteen, since we both so hungry.

You can access Canteen by passing through Zenbu or aksara. By the time we arrived, the restaurant was packed but we still managed to get a table. The dining area seperated into 2 areas, smoking and no smoking, but located side-by-side. They offer quite a wide selection of food and beverages. There are appetizer, salad, pasta, steak, rice, soup, dessert, mocktail, cocktail, tea, etc). And they have cocktail promo, buy 1 for 2, but we're not in the mood for cocktails.

After browsed the menu for a while, we ordered:

Seafood Ravioli with Beurre Noisette accompanied with Coke (20k) for W, and

Seafood Ravioli (75k)

Salmon Linguini accompanied with Peach Ice Tea for me

Salmon Linguini (75k)


This dish taste ok, but nothing special. The cream sauce was creamy enough, al dente pasta with chopped almond, smoke salmon, and grilled zucchini 
Peach Ice Tea (35k)
Peach Ice Tea served with mint leaves and basil seeds (selasih)

This was my second visit, and even after this visit, for me Canteen is a good place to hangout and have a couple drinks, but still not a place to eat (pricey 'ok but nothing special" food). Or maybe it was just my bad lucks, picking wrong menus? Well then, i hope the next time, i will be lucky

Peeking inside Crumble Crew - Tulodong Atas, SCBD

It's me again!! Gatau lagi udah berapa dasawarsa kutinggalkan dunia blog ini. Kemudian tiba suatu waktu rindu yang tak lagi terbendung, and i decided to write again :) So here is my very first post after a very long time goes for ISCAKETORY or ISAURA CAKE FACTORY!! ISCAKETORY is placed inside a lifestyle junction : Crumble Crew (. There are some other food tenants such as Nalu Bowls, Cyclo Coffee, Mangan-Mangan, etc. And one of the tenants that catch my eyes is ISCAKETORY. I was meant to just have coffee with my friend, but then we ended up visit ISCAKETORY first then went to Cyclo to get our coffee and seated back at ISCAKETORY. There were actually 3 areas in Crumble Crew: 1st floor non-smoking indoor area, 1st floor outdoor smoking area, and 2ns floor smoking area. ISCAKETORY is at the corner beside Pokey Studio and was pretty crowded at the time i visited. The place itself has its own open kitchen (as you can see in the main picture), quite small with jus

Union: Union made is well made they said

Image
It was a Thursdate with my two dancing mates, S and N. Masing-masing berangkat dari kantor dan janjian ketemu di Union, Plaza Senayan. Tempat hangout super hype selama 2tahun terakhir ini. Dan emang dasar kalo gak macet namanya bukan Jakartam it took almost more than 30 minutes for N to get to Plaza Senayan from Ratu Plaza. I was the first to arrive from the three of us, and FYI i was on time, got there by exactly 6.30PM. And as always, Union was full almost every time i went there, so even i already made the reservation for 6.30PM, i still have to wait around 30 minutes to get my table. Selalu suka sama atmosphere disini. Sebelumnya kesini selalu sore sekitar jam 3an, tp yang kali ini dateng pas jam dinner (dimana kalau di Union, setiap jam lunch dan dinner diharuskan untuk reservasi terlebih dahulu) dan ternyata suasana malam bikin suasana di Union jadi tambah romantis. Kali ini merupakan kali ketiga gw kesini, and in my previous visits i only ordered desserts an

Bandung trip #day 3 - Fabrik Eatery & Bar

Image
3rd day in Bandung, also our last day. Paginya memutuskan untuk cari sarapan di sekitar hotel barengan I dan Mr, dan kemudian I ngajakin makan kupat tahu di pinggir jalan, dekat alfamart sekitaran hotel. Gerobaknya sebelahan sama bubur ayam. I dan Mr ini asalnya dari Bogor dan mereka sudah biasa makan kupat tahu ini, sedangkan saya sendir have no idea about that kind of food. Yang saya tau ya ketoprak atau ketupat sayur. But then i'm willing to try this new dish. Setelah memesan, tampilan kupat tahu itu mirip ketoprak, cuma rasa bumbu kacangnya asin. Isi dari kupat tahu itu sendiri ketupat, tahu, tauge, disiram bumbu kacang dan diberi kerupuk. Sayangnya ternyata lidah saya kurang cocok dengan makanan ini. Kalau menurut Mr, kupat tahu ini lumayan, tp katanya ada yang lebih enak. Ya mungkin lain kali saya harus coba yang di tempat yang direkomendasi Mr. Tapi yang ini kurang enak kalau menurut saya. Siangnya setelah check out, kami memutuskan untuk cari makan siang dulu sebelum k
