Pardon My French

Nori Taco. Spicy Salmon, nori tempura, melted cheese and tobiko. The nori tempura was super crunchy and tasty and it gave a nice texture like crispy masterpiece. The tobiko had a salty and oceany and umami flavor. The melted cheese was good, just a little creamy and not overpowering any other ingredients. The salmon tasted fresh, fatty and raw. The spicy mentaiko was the bomb!! Creamy and salty and spicy and savoury, to sum it up, full of bomb flavor. It's everything I need, can't ask for more. Genius! When I saw they served me 2 pieces of this little thing in a huge plate, I thought "really? 50K for this?" 10 sec later, my mind went to "It's worth it!" It's dope!

Ube Bomb. I've been curious for this place for a very long time. Finally yesterday I had the chance to try it. Checked this place with pergikuliner and the most interesting dish that caught my attention was this ube bomb.

Taro pudding, cereals, fresh strawberry, mint leaf and condensed milk (the white liquid, not so sure about it but it tasted like one). Beautiful plating and I could hear the sounds of cracking popping candy which was interesting. The texture of the pudding was custardy, liked the texture so much. The taste? Not too sweet and yeah, I definitely tasted taro on that pudding. The cereal was giving a nice solid texture to bite. I couldn't taste the popping candy and I felt no popping sensation or whatsoever in my mouth. However, the condensed milk ruined everything. It made the pudding tasted so damn sweet. Couldn't finish the the pudding thanks to it.

Let's forget about the ube bomb, the place is super good. It's not too big but super cozy, friendly services and the ambiance is exquisite.

Konsep resto yang lucu, ambiance cozy, food was ok.
Ada 2 huge teddy yang famous jadi icon di resto ini dan buat this place instagramable.

Pas kesini hari minggu malam, hoki banget ga perlu antri dan ga rame. Serasa resto milik sendiri buat foto2 📸

Yg dipesan disini:
- crispy pork with caramelized sauce and mashed potato on the side: rasa porknya ok, ga bau. Mashed potatonya agak too greasy, buttery and rasa garlicnya kenceng banget.

- cheese pizza yang ada truffle essence. Rasanya B aja, cheesenya cepet kering dan keras. Trufflenya ga berasa sama sekali.

- premium tea di serving in unique variant taste by tea & co.

Pertama kali cobain makan di Pardon My French, tempat parkir yg disediakan cukup luas. Sehingga apabila tmn2 mau Car Free Day bs parkir di sini kemudian ada disc.20% minimal untuk group of 4 people di hari Minggu saat CFD. Tempat makannya tersedia outdoor maupun indoor. So spacious and cozy.
Langsung aja ke menu2 baru yg Doct coba:
1. Half Boned Spicy Japanese Chicken Wing

Seporsi dapet 4 potong, bumbunya meresap, juicy, tasty, tp ngga pedes2 banget kok guys.
2. Pumpkin Spinach Salad

Semuanya fresh, rasanya ala2 salad Jepang.
3. Crunchy Spinach Pizza

Pizza selalu jadi favorit dimana pun..haha dan ini pizzanya ngga mengecewakan. Yummy!
4. Linguria Ox Tongue

5. Cacio Beef Parmigiana
Pasta2nya jg lumayan guys, tingkat kematangan serta rasanya pas. Overall semuanya ok :D

Salmon Creamed Spinach. Pan fried salmon, lemon reduction and creamed spinach. I like the restaurant, but not this menu. The plating was kind of boring. The salmon was fishy and flaky. The inside was no longer in pink. The baby potato was hard and not tasty at all. The vinaigrette sauce was so so. It's somehow not really compliment the salmon. And the creamed spinach was super creamy but I didn't really taste the spinach. It's overpowering the natural earthiness of the spinach. So yeah, I recommend this place but this menu is just meh.

Nori Taco. Have you seen this post in my feed? No, you haven't. Yes, I have posted the nori taco review before but the topping was spicy salmon. Now I'll tell you about the spicy tuna one. The nori tempura was dope as always. Crispy to perfection with salty and savoury flavor from the seaweed. The melted cheese was salty and creamy. The mentaiko was superb. Salty, spicy (spicier than the first time I came, but I still like it), creamy, super rich. Now the tuna, I'd never thought I'm gonna say this but I'd rather eat the tuna than the salmon. The tuna wasn't fishy at all, it's thick, it had such almost meaty texture to bite. The salmon one was more on the smooth side, but the tuna was totally a bad ass. You gotta try this. Eric approved!

Truffle Steak Don. Thick slice US beef, kokuho japanese rice, 63 degree egg and katsuobushi beef sauce. The steak was super tender and so gewd. I could taste the natural sweetness from the meat itself. The egg was runny and cooked into perfection. It gave extra creaminess and sticky texture, loved it! And the moment the don arrived, I could smell strong truffle aroma. If you like truffle then you'll love it. My only concern was the kokuho japanese rice, it's a super super normal white rice. No need to mention it, it made my expectation go high and all I tasted was normal white rice. Overall, still a super solid steak don.

Teppan Saikoro Steak. 200gr cube cut steak over beansprout & chopped garlic and served with japanese rice. The steak was good. Tender and so flavorful. Savoury and the natural sweetness from the meat itself and so earthy thanks to the beansprout. Taste wise it's good, however it didn't meet my expectation at all. First, the size of the saikoro beef. It's just too small and trust me, it's the saikoro steak not some fermented soybean. When I read the 200gr of steak in the description, I expect it to be huge square chunk of steak not this thin cut steak. Second, the japanese rice. It tasted like normal white rice. No japanese taste or whatsoever. Third, the chopped garlic. I thought they gonna give me a small diced fried crispy garlic. Not big size sliced garlic. Still, I did enjoy my bowl.

Matcha Cube Latte. The idea was good. They use matcha as the ice instead of water, so even the ice melted, the taste won't change. However, the matcha itself wasn't strong enough. The milk was super milky and sweet. Not for my taste obviously. To be frank, I couldn't finish it. But, it's instagramable. So if you have no problem with sweet and milky taste, I'd say it's your thing. When I see something like this, my mind always goes to Pancious's Earl Grey Milk Tea. I know it's different flavor and incomparable. But it is how it is, I just can't help it.

pardon my french ini lokasinya di wahid hasyim, deket dengan tanah abang. tempatnya dari luar saja sudah keliatan kece, begitupun interiornya, minimalis modern, sangat kekinian, di bagian tengah resto ada area bar dan disitu ada boneka teddy bear yang super besar. Tempatnya cukup spacious, untuk smoking area ada yang outdoor ada juga yang indoor berAC. Sangat nyaman sih tempatnya. 
Menunya juga cukup bervariasi, ada western dan asian, aku beberapa menu diantaranya : 
- momotori katsu curry (90k) : shiitake curry dengan chicken katsu dan nasi putih (bisa juga kalau mau diganti nasi goreng), enak ini currynya light dan chicken katsunya ukurannya besar, tebal dan empuk. 

- ube bomb (45k) : teskturnya seperti panacota, lembut banget deh ini, selain warnanya yg cantik, rasanya juga enak. 

Overall recommend nih cafe yang satu ini, tempatnya bagus, nyaman, makanan enak. Next time pasti balik lagi.
