BEBEK TEPI SAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Just a few days ago, my Dad came home from his business trip, and brought us all to eat here, Bebek Tepi Sawah, Baywalk Outlet, Jakarta, Indonesia. We ordered the most famous classic fried duck. As you can see, it’s basically half a duck, fried, served with rice and spicy green beans on your plate. They also serve you with 3 different types of “sambal” (Indonesian chili paste). The duck is sooooo satisfying. Crispy, tender, fatty, and just marvelous. I’m personally a huge fan of spicy food, so I ate the duck with all 3 sambal mixed with it. The sambal had these 3 levels (?) of spicy - mild, spicy, and hell - but they’re all worth the try. Mixing them all just gives it a burst of flavor; sweet, savory, tangy, and a whole lot of spice in your mouth. The green beans don’t really add much to the dish, but it gives off a “fresh” feel in your mouth after you get that oily taste from the duck. We also order their Sop Asam Iga (sweet and sour beef soup), which I thought wasn’t sour enough to my taste, but still worth the try. I’m a fan of this particular dish, so I’m really picky with the dish’s level of sour, and I didn’t find this one satisfying enough, but the beef was still tender, and the usual burst of spice was still there. For the duck, I give a 9/10, and the soup a 7/10. Price wise, I didn’t like it, because no matter how good the experience was, I would still shake my head to the numbers on my bill. I am a student with limited amount of cash after all. So, for all the other students out there, you might want to come here only when your parents are paying, or when it’s a special occasion worth the waste of money. Overall, it was a 8.5/10 worth of an experience which I would to suggest to anyone out there. This is definite bloggers recommendation.

When they say "Seribu rasa", they actually mean 1000 flavors, because I have never in my life seen such a wide selection of food before. I personally dislike it when a restaurant can't make up its mind on what they want to serve me. Like, what's cooking? Chinese, Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian, no? ALL OF THEM! That's exactly what seribu rasa is. I came into that restaurant thinking that I would have high quality Indonesian food, but I was bombarded with other Asian dishes as well, and it kind of made me loose focus on my initial motive. I did, however, enjoyed my dishes. Then again, when it comes to Indonesian food, I wouldn't want to spend more than 50k for a dish, and even 50k is too expensive for me. The only good Indonesian food you will ever find are the ones that are sold on the side of the road (ignore hygiene on this matter), and seribu rasa is awfully pricy. Like, "what the hell" kind of pricy. How can a bowl of curry cost 125k plus tax, I don't get it. It was a great dining experience though, just up to the part where I received the bill.

For some reason, my Daddy loves this place. He kept on insisting that Madame Lily had some really good Indonesian dishes in their menu. I personally have only been here twice, and I've only tasted their western dishes. Madame Lily has quite a wide variety of both Indonesian and Western dishes in their menu, which is a good thing, really. But, if it were me, I wouldn't choose to eat Indonesian food in a restaurant in the mall, because it will most definitely tend to be overpriced (tax and what not). So, I went and ordered their Mac and Cheese. This is the very first time for me to taste Mac and Cheese, and frankly speaking it tastes like cream pasta with some extra can cheese, not that it's a bad thing, because I really don't know what Mac and Cheese is supposed to taste like. I also ordered their pan croissant (?) with the cheese and chocolate for dessert, and it just dissapointed me. Their "croissant" just tasted like a bread roll to me, and if the main point of the whole dish (which is the croissant) is a whole lie, then that won't be good, won't it? Apart from that, I also tasted a little bit of their rendang, and I'm thoroughly satisfied with it. That was the most softest rendang I've ever tasted, and that's good. Although, it did tasted rather bland to me, but the texture made up for it. As for the ambience and service, I think it was alright. I like how they furnished the place, it looked all posh and cute, and the fact that I didn't feel disturbed by any noise at all even though we're not eating inside a "store" is a plus point. The servers were all nice, they had smiles on their faces, and I was served well, and my food came out in about 15 minutes, so that's alright. It is of course, relatively longer than other restaurants, but I don't mind. As for the price, it is of course quite overpriced for me (I'm a student with restricted pocket money), so let's just say, come here only when your parents are with you, or if your rich friend is willing to pay for you (this is just what I think, don't let me stop you).

High Tea is always a great time when you're having it in Grand Hyatt. Foto yang di unggah di ambil pada hari yang berbeda, makanya ambience warnanya berbeda. 1 dari High Tea chocolate edition, dan yang lainnya dari High Tea Mango edition. Tentunya, kedua "special" tersebut terasa enak. Sebenarnya Fountain Lounge Kan memang terkenal untuk High Teanya, and they're right. Ambience dan interior SpOG oN,kebersihan juga OK, dan Service tentunya sangat bagus. Harga mungkin agak sedikit mahal, tapi kalau kalian mau coba High Tea mereka, sekali" bisa mengunjungi cafe ini.
