Ampera

For those of you that have ever been trying Bumbu Desa, you have to try this one!
Ampera is a sundanese restaurant that have a concept of prasmanan eatery. I dunno what's the english for prasmanan. Haha.
So they put a lot of food in front of you as shown in the picture below. You just have to point at food you want and the waitress will take it for later being cooked, coz the foods is still just marinated or just half cooked.
I forgot what I took coz it's been a long time ago.
I just remember that I took fried chicken, roast chicken, fried lung, fried intestine, fried squid, roast squid, and few vegetables which I forgot..
Just look at the picture below. hehe.







Actually they set a lalapan (indonesian salad consist of cucumber, lettuce, kemangi, eggplant, etc all raw to eat with sambal) bar which we can take it free with many kind of sambal like sambal terasi, sambal oncom, sambal goreng, etc. The sambal oncom was really really good that even I that hates sambal took it for 3 times.
Their pricing was fair, it's not expensive and I think quite cheap.
What matter is their food taste good. Highly recommended.

My rating : 8 out of 10

Fish & Co

Fish & Co is one of the most attracting restaurant in Jakarta. First, because of the name. I was wondering what kind of restaurant it is when I first heard it's name until I found that this is a restaurant that specialized in Fish N Chips and the other seafood..hahaha.
So, my family and I visited this restaurant and this is my review.



This is our first order : NZ Mussels in Garlic Butter Sauce.
This dish is quite good I think. The mussel is so big and juicy as usual NZ mussels and they did a good job to combine this excellent mussel with the sauce coz this mussel cooperate really well with the creamy garlic butter sauce.
Must try.


My dad's order, Seafood Pasta Salad was not good. Haha.
They put spaghetti, boiled shrimp, lettuce, black sesame, and cherry tomato with a very light dressing. I dun like that combination of pasta with light dressing..T.T
But my dad thought that it's good though..hahaha.


My sist's order, Fried Calamary. Taste exactly like Chinese style fried calamary.
This is my sister's favourite food, she is fried calamary's worshipper so she said that this calamary is so good. But for my taste, this is a bit to salty and I always prefer grilled calamary than this..haha.


This is the star of this restaurant! The Original Fish N Chips. Rp 55.ooo
First, I have to say not to believe what I say about this fish n chips because this fish n chips is sooo stunning that I can't describe it in words anymore!
You'll understand when u eat this heavenly fish n chips.
I suggest u not to use knife to eat this! Just use your fork to cut the piece.
You'll find that the breading layer is separated from the flesh of the meat and when you eat it, it is a perfect texture of the crispness of the outer layer and the smoothness of the flesh.
Wow.Wow.Wow.
The fish is really fresh and it served in a really big portion! haha..
They serve it with tartar sauce separately but I prefer not to put anything in it to really taste the freshness of the fish.
I don't really sure if this is snapper as what fish in chips usually is, I think this maybe marlin.
But this is a must try..

My dad, enjoying the fish n chips. hahaha..

In overall, I really love this restaurant. They decored the restaurant like a harbour and that really makes the atmosphere of this restaurant.
The portion and the taste of the food is good and they present it well in a frying pan..haha.
So creative.
Actually I did ordered many more from their menu like Seafood Platter for two, etc.
But I forgot to take the picture..T.T, it taste good though.
The price? I think it looks a bit expensive but you'll got what you pay for.
For me, I certainly will go back to Fish N Co.

Honey Bread at En Dining

I love sweet foods where we can find most of them in the dessert menu of course..(not just food actually,I love all sweet things..XD hehe..)
So time I wanna share my experience of having En Dining's signature dessert, Honey Bread w/ Ice Cream.
En Dining is a Japanese restaurant located in EX Plaza Indonesia. They serve good food for dine in there and I've dine there for quite many times, but I've never tried their honey bread! Everytime I dine there, I saw every table beside me ordered honey bread and this makes me quite "stimulated" (good food will be ordered by everyone remember?). So, I ordered the honey bread..Well MY DAD ordered this.
Well actually I don't have any desire to order "bread" for dessert coz I never thought of something special with "bread". What can they do with bread? Coz bread is just..yea..bread!




And the waiter brought the Honey Bread to our table. At first, it looks like just a normal white bread which has not been cutted yet. So, it looks like a cube of 12cm thickness (my estimation) and maybe 15 width with a look of toasted bread on the outside. Then I realize that the "skin" of the bread is separated from the inner core of the bread, so the inner core and the "skin" of the bread is "connected" only from the 4 corners. (You'll know how hard it is to describe the exact shape in words if you already see that thing..T.T). On top of the bread, they put 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream an a swirl of raspberry sauce. And they also pour some honey around the bread.
So the way they serve this; first, they cut each corner of the bread's "skin" so it separated from the inner core and kind of like opening our way to directly pick the inner core of the bread which they already cutted it into 9 pieces or 3 times each sides if I'm not mistaken.
I took the first piece with some of the ice cream and the raspberry sauce.
Here is the exact chronology that time:
1. Took 1 piece of the bread and putted it to my plate.
2. Eat it.
3.
4. Shocked and silence for a moment while still chumping that bread in my mouth with closed eyes (to kind of meditate on that taste XD).

The bread is sooo goooddd!!!
IT IS TRULY REALLY GOOD. Really you will never imagine the taste until you eat it yourself. This is magnificent, make me speechless for a moment.
The bread is the softest bread I've ever eat before with it's sweet taste that taste like it has been soaked overnight in honey, it was really a perfect combination with the Ice Cream. The raspberry sauce itself I think is only a garnishing coz I almost cannot taste it at all..XD Hahaha..
But the bread was sooo gooodd...
It is WOW.
My family ordered 1 more portion of it after just finishing our first piece.

So, it cost me Rp 48.000 for 1 portion of that honey bread which actually quite expensive for just a "bread", but I'll still buy it.
I'll say that this is the best dessert I'VE EVER HAD in my life. It is truly gorgeous. Even better than 10 scoops of hageen-dazs.
And for this I'll give this

9,5 out of 10!!! I would give this 10 out of 10 if the price is more reasonable..ahahaha..

Note : If you plan to have this honeybread. You'll better book for a table first and order this honeybread first while booking your table. Coz this is this restaurant's favourite and I already find that it's sold out while I wanted to order it for 3 times..T.T
But I promise you won't regret!
