Sirloin Steak. The steak was a total disappointment. The quality of the meat wasn't that great. The fat was completely a mess. Chewy and tough, I couldn't cut it. The meat wasn't juicy eventhough I asked a medium rare one. However, one of their side dish was superb. I chose french fries and portobello mushroom. The fries was thick and natural. Salt and that's it, no other seasonings. The only thing that amazed me so damn much was the portobello mushroom (that black thingy). Never try portobello before and I like it so so much. The texture was super nice. Bit crispy unlike other mushroom, juicy and fragrant. They used tomato, cucumber, onion and lettuce. It gave a fresh taste and crunchy texture. I know this sounds silly, but can I trade the steak with the portobello mushroom. The only time I prefer a non meaty dish.

Nasi Cikur. Have you tried Warung Inul? The place was kinda weird. It's like in a middle of nowhere. This place is speciaIized in nasi cikur I guess. Rice with galangal and some other spices and topped with fried shallots. It's unique and dope. Super fragrant and rich. I could eat the rice alone. I did try some vegies, fried mushroom and cow legs soup. Everything else were pretty mediocre, the highlight for me was the nasi cikur alone. I came like at 8AM, the wind was cold, the air was still fresh with beautiful nature scenery. Don't forget to drink teh pucuk harum (it just perfectly fit with the ambiance). I didn't know which one I enjoy more. The mood or the taste of the dish. So my judgement might be a lil bit biased.

Mie Kocok. Consist of egg noodle, bean sprouts, scallion, shallot and of course lot of KIKIL. The broth is fantastic. The base is beef broth and they enrich the broth with lime juice and 2 spoons of MSG! Yup, 2 spoonful of MSG in that small bowl. That's the secret. Who ain't gonna love that. We all love MSG. Sadly, the portion is quite small. For me, it's more like snack instead of heavy meal.
The location is quite strategic. Exactly in front of Kartika Sari. So it's easy to find even though you can't waze it.

Hot Wings. Actually it's supposed to be hot but that time we chose bbq instead of spicy (One of us just can't handle spicy at all). The bbq sauce was so so, nothing special and it lacked some kick to it. Yup, we're the one to blame, I believe it's gonna be tasty with an extra spicy flavor. The meat was tender and juicy. Personally, I'd prefer normal chicken wings than buffalo wings. In my opinion, buffalo wings has a weird texture, sticky and bit soggy thanks to the sauce. That's why I'd prefer chicken wings instead. Well, it's a matter of preferences. If you love buffalo wings then you may like this one. Despite to what I just said, I had a great time there. The ambiance and the view were just freaking awesome.

Water morning glory, beef and quail egg. Using hot plate is like a doble edged sword, it cuts both way. In one side, it keeps the dish hot and increases your appetite. In the other side, it loses its consistency and become overcooked. The water morning glory was a bit overcooked and lost its crispiness. The gravy was a bit too sweet too. I prefer the savoury one instead of the sweet one. I didn't eat the quail egg so I can say nothing bout that (It takes up to 5 chicken eggs to equal just one equail egg. Can you imagine how many cholesterol that tiny little egg contains). Despite of what I just said, the taste was quite good. It's just a matter of preferences.
