CAFE ARIA

Yesterday, I went to "Cafe Aria" for a catch-up session. Located on Jl. Jenderal Sudirman kav.1, where Tony Toma's used to reside.

The area was looked very, very spacious as there were only few people there.

First, we ordered Nachos (58k) to wait for another friend. It came out quite surprising because I have always had ones which condiments put together on top of the nachos. But Cafe Aria served it separately.

Bit weird as the nachos were put on a dim sum basket. But maybe it worked well because it kept the nachos crispy until the end. The salsa tasted really good, sweet and good sour. The guacamole tasted milky and refreshing too. Two thumbs up.

Then, I had "White egg omelette with sautee spinach and chicken sausage"(38k).
I have never had an egg omelette before, but I really like the texture. The spinach was soft and tasty too.

I think this place is good for a business meeting or a date as it would not be that crowded.

Good ambience. Good food. =)




Ps: if you are on a meeting with your laptop, make sure you put the battery on. The electricity was once dropped for about 2 mins.

DO AN

This is actually my most favorite Vietnamese restaurant that I have ever tried.

Located on the upper level of Cilandak Town Square - South Jakarta
It's always full during the lunch time.

Almost everything is full of flavor. The spicy pho with beef sliced and the grilled beef with tomato rice.

However, my favorite is "bun ga nuong xa" or Rice vermicelli salad with grilled chicken satay (48k).
The portion is quite big for the so-called salad.

Full of texture with the sweet, sour and hot sauce. The spring roll and the chicken satay complete each other.

YELLOWFIN

Located at Jalan Senopati no. 42 - South Jakarta. I passed this resto at the corner soo many times. And it has always been full since the opening. So I have been really curious!

The waiter said their specialities are tonkatsu ramen and grilled salmon. Obeying the suggestion, we tried tonkatsu ramen with level 1 spiciness (55k) and grilled salmon with crunchy seaweed (85k). We ordered Tuna salad as the entree.


The tuna was ok, but I think it could have been better.

 The ramen was unexpectedly nice. Very tasty and quite hot ( for level 1). Thick but not too much.

Unfortunately, the Grilled Salmon was just a mediocre, I only enjoyed the crunchy seaweed.

Next time, I should order the sashimi or the yakitori instead.

What really enlightened me was the restroom. Yes the restroom. The wash basin has the view of a tree..haha..cute.
