Last Sunday, I went to Birdcage on Jl.Wijaya 9 no.23. I went there for several times, 5-6 times maybe, but only for drinks.
I really like the environment, I love the cozy daybed, pretty decorations, but surely its location wins me straight away. I can just walk from my house.
This time I asserted myself to try their meal and to have a good seat on the ground floor, which has different theme. Bird Cage Parc. I was so happy to find its 50% voucher from the internet. RAP and I ordered "Escargot with salsa on baguette" for entree, Wagyu fried rice and Aglio e olio spaghetti with tuna". The overly friendly waiter told me that the Aglio e olio is one of the most favored menu. And for drink, we had iced latte and butterscotch iced tea.
The entree was OK. The tomato salsa tasted great on a very crusty baguette. But I hope, they put more garlic to more overcome the less-fresh escargot.
The mains, were quite a disappointment. And they came from one of my favorite place to hang out. The fried rice had a few sliced of wagyu beef and almost tasteless, apart from its red appearance. The egg was also not nicely presented.
The aglio e olio, hm..very plain. I know the aglio e olio is the option for the lighter taste of pasta sauce, but I think it was far too plain. So, I asked for extra chillis and salt. Much better afterwards.
Very disappointed. Could it be because the chef had known that we'll be paying just a half of the normal price? Still a mystery.
Well, I will still come back. But only for drinks.
