Garcon - Bistro & Bar, Plaza Senayan

The french bistro, bar and patisserie located in Plaza Senayan, just under the cinema on the 4th floor. Garcon means "exploring the delights of youth". Been curios about this place for quite sometime, and then one fine afternoon i made it to went there with one of my friend, C, and my cousin, S. 

Love the interior and the atmosphere. When we arrived, the place was almost packed. The area itself is separated to two areas, smoking and non smoking. There's also tables with high chairs near the bar. When you first enter the place, your eyes will be spoiled by the long cake display. They have various kinds of eclairs and cakes. And i was like "i want each one of them!!" :p



The price itself is more to the high side. And since we had lunch before, we only order appetizer and cakes. It took quite a long time for us to choose one of the beautiful cakes. Geez. And finally i chose Rocher Monaco along with Ice Lemon Tea, while C was in love with the Angeline cake and Peppermint Tea, and S went with Gateau Au Fromage Blanc with Ice Peach Tea. And for the snack, we agreed to have their Calamari Ring from the appetizer menu.

all of our orders
Gateau Au Fromage Blanc (35k)
This one is rare cheese cake with passion fruit sauce. The combination between the cheese cake and the passion fruit sauce was superb!

Rocher Monaco (38k)
This sexy baby was mine. My first impression after my first dig in was like eating a ferrero rocher chocolate. Intense chocolate and hazelnut flavor, with rice krispies and pie base. But unfortunately, tasted a little too sweet for me.

Calamari Ring (60k)
For me this calamari ring was perfect. It was crispy, not greasy, well seasoned, and both of the sauce brought the calamari to a different level.

Ice Lemon Tea (35k)

Ice Tea (35k) + add Peach Flavor (10k)

Well as you can see the photos above, the Angeline cake and Peppermint Tea individual photos were missing (sorry..)

What i can say about Garcon? You can't expect the price on the low side when you decide to dine at any french bistro. But they offer pretty good deals for the cakes as you can see in the cake display. They also offer quite a wide selection for pastries. 

Will i pay a second visit? I can say "sure.." with a wide smile. I'm curious to try their colorful eclairs and some other cakes.

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...
