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

Fulfill Your Belly at Tokyo Belly, Grand Indonesia

Image
It was a rainy day. Me and my friend, A, were craving for something hot and soupy. After wandering around Grand Indonesia, we decided to satisfy our belly at Tokyo Belly. Grand Indonesia outlet (grabbed from their twitter @TokyoBelly) Setiabudi One outlet (grabbed from their twitter @TokyoBelly) Tokyo Belly is a part of Ismaya Group. Before, it was named Mr. Curry. Went there a couple of times, and their curry dish was memorable. Tokyo Belly itself is a new style of Japanese bistro and sake bar. The menu varies from omurice, ramen, sushi rolls, curry, hot stone bibimbap, pasta, j-dog (Japanese hotdog) and many more. Since the weather was cold, i was craving for something hot, soupy, and spicy. My eyes spotted their Tempura Chige ramen. The soup was flaming red named spicy chige soup, combined with all those seafood tempura and seasonal vegetable tempura, and also lava egg. I love the spicy soup. This dish warmed the cold night. And to cool down the hot taste in my m...

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...

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...
