Review Pelanggan untuk Alfred

Ah another hip restaurant in the central of Jakarta! Hidden within the Seibu department store, Alfred sits next to Toby's Estate. Just when I think I got enough options for groovy restaurant with the basically the same offer from the menu, yet here we went.

It is a basic semi-fancy restaurant with typical one word naming, usually a name, and followed with classic-industrial fusion on the interior design that brings you the concept of 'old school is the new school'. But they did that with a bit of twist from sliding door, neon quote on the wall, and the creativity of utilizing such a small space then turned it into smoking and non smoking area, which not exactly a good idea. Their menu offers great selection though, from Brioche options (they don't call it burger here) to rice based mains. We ordered SA-C ( Sassy so the pronunciation) and Sorry,Dory into the big breakfast option. SA-C in big breakfast consisted of soft scrambled egg, avocado, mixed greens in honey lemon vinaigrette dressing, a shot of maple syrup and 3 slices of multigrain toast, also with Alfred sweet chili aioli. The same goes with Sorry, Dory just with the replacement of soft scrambled egg and avocado into pan fried dory fillet with tartar sauce.

They both were good, I liked the airy and fluffy scrambled egg combined with avocado and toast with the aioli. Alfred sweet chili aioli plays a supporting role here, the sweet, creamy, uplifting, and a subtle spiciness was pleasurable. Otherwise, it would just be a plate of salad and toast with egg. The Sorry, Dory was nice too, I always like fried dory, soft without the fishy smell, the batter made enough crunchiness outside, all paired with refreshing sweet and sour tartar sauce. Maple syrup also added complexity to the overall taste, I made sure to drizzle everything on my plate with the syrup.

In all, Alfred is a nice addition to your already convenient dining options with such a price that made me question if their price is really on par with what they deliver. Priciness aside, it worth a try for a unique dining menu experience.
