Publico

Been very busy this couple months doing my thesis. But all the hard works finally paid off. i pass the thesis exam and will have my graduation on Nov 17 (yeayy!). Well then now i have the time to blogging again (finally!), fyi i should've post this on Jun 15. Sorry for this very late post. So then here we go!


Been craving so long for this restaurant, after i saw a pict taken by my friend on instagram, picturing their famous Valrhona Chocolate Marsbar. Setelah gagal ke Publico saat kunjungan ke Commune (1st post), enggak bikin saya menyerah untuk tetap mencoba kesini. Akhirnya sepupu pas banget tiba2 ngajakin pergi, dan saya yang disuruh nentuin tempatnya. Langsung aja sebut "Publico yuk", dan doi setuju-setuju aja. Berangkat jam 5 dari kost saya, kami sampai sekitar pukul 5.40. Deg-deg'an karena takut full reserved seperti waktu itu, akhirnya saya turun ngecek dulu apakah available atau tidak. Dan ternyata ada tempat sampai sekitar pukul 7.30. Langsung deh parkir dan naik ke atas diantar oleh waiter nya.
The restaurant itself is is a three-stories. First floor is their front desk, and there's also a dining area behind the desk (if i'm not mistaken). Second floor all area is for smoking. At that time the third floor was all reserved.

I was so excited and curios to know what's on the menu. And since i saved my belly space since morning to eat here, yes i was very hungry. But still, i spent too much time on the menu just to decide what to eat (bad habit :p ).

My cousin, S, had Green Tea Lemonade and Black Cod Miso for her dinner. While i had Tea Smoke Salmon and Green Tea.
Green Tea Lemonade (30k)
They served this with a scoop of ice cream. My cousin said it was sweet and refreshing.

Crispy Soy Glazed Black Cod (75k)
The fish was cooked well, served with saute mushroom and green beans.

Tea Smoked Salmon (95k)
    Talking about the portion, they served quite generous big and thick salmon. They grilled and seasoned the salmon perfectly and tasted really great that i just couldn't stop eating! Served with wasabi mashed potato and apple salad. I thought the wasabi mashed potato would taste weird, since i don't like wasabi but then it turned out to taste fine and i eat it to the last piece on the plate. The apple salad also tasted fresh and crunchy. This dish also served with some kind of soy sauce but didn't overwhelmed every aspect of this delicious dish. This is a MUST TRY menu when you come to Publico. Yes, i'm a big fan! hahaha.

Our generous dish made us both very full that we couldn't handle dessert, while the main reason why i came here because of their Mars Bars. Hmmff. I might be unlucky this time, but i will definitely come back here to raped their Chilled Varlhona Mars Bars!

    Where's the Mars Bar? Is it supposed to be a deep fried thing like ones found in Bondi Beach, Sydney?

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

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
