St Germain

Cacaote opened a new restaurant located in Grand Indonesia East Mall, St Germain. The place was somehow reminded me of TWG Tea Salon & Boutique as the ambience was quite similar, it was a really nice place though. 

I ordered Steak and Frites (295k) for main course

Such a dissapointment for me. I'm such a big fan of steak and I've tried quite many steaks from different restaurants, and frankly speaking this was one of the worst steak I've ever eaten. The beef was not tender and so hard to be cut. The mushroom sauce was nothing like mushroom sauce as the texture and flavor was more likely to be weird bbq sauce. Thank goodness I was saved by chilli sauce.

For dessert me and my friends shared 3 different pastries by Cacaote 

Matcha Cake (50k), Cacaote Cake (50k) and Caramel Puff (28k) 

The Matcha Cake was fine but the matcha flavor was too overpowering and it turned out to be a little bit bitter.

The Cacaote Cake was delicious and perfect for chocolate lover like me. But I could never finish this all by myself since this was too much. 

The Caramel Puff was probably the best compared to the other two. Its light and perfect in flavor as in its sweet but not too sweet.

Lastly, I ordered lychee tea (35k) for the drink. It tasted great as it supposed to be.

Rosso - Shangri la

It's been a while now since my last post. And in this post I would like to talk about this fine dining restaurant located at Shangri la Hotel Jakarta. 

I went there for my late new year's dinner with my mum and my sister. The place wasn't too packed with people that time. Infact there were only 3 tables occupied. 

Rosso was a very nice and romantic restaurant with red colour dominating the room. It's such a perfect place to dine with your loved one. 

I ordered mushroom soup for the appetizer and trilogy tenderloin for the main. 

Mushroom soup (110k) :

This dish was just a dissapoinment for me. The mushroom itself was just tasted blurry and weird. I couldn't even take the third spoon of it to my mouth. 

Trilogy tenderloin (480k) :

This was amazing. The beef was so tender and cooked perfectly. On top of them there were 3 different topping ; foie gras, cheese and spinach. My favourite was the one with cheese. It was just melted on my mouth. But the rest weren't bad at all as well. 

My sister ordered this angel hair pasta.

It was good actually. But the tomato paste was too over powering the dish and tasted so strong. Me myself not a big fan of all kind of tomato. So this dish just wasn't for me. 

My mum ordered the duo pork. They served 2 different pork on the plate. The one on the left was the crispy pork meat and the other one was pork ribs.  

For drinks I ordered watermelon juice (60k). It was good and fresh. Just loved it
