Well, hello :)
This is my very first post here, and please excuse me while I'm writing about restaurant review instead of review about myself, LOL. Sorry because I love food so much I can't help it, and because today I finally met one of my brunch friends and had a quality time together while we're brunching.
Today I went to my school to finalize my 'stuffs' as a graduate high school student. And there, I met my long-time-no-see friend and we're just chit-chatting along the way until I realize that we used to brunch together back then. And why not we do it now? Because I was hungry at the moment, and alas, I know she won't resist anything related to some foods in the morning.
Sooo yea, because it's just around 10 in the morning, at first we're confused choosing the good place with fine meals that's already open and not too far from where we were. So, I just drove my car around and we made it to Jalan Sabang. And there it was, a not so big restaurant with good ambience that looked so 'inviting'. So I parked my car and we decided to had brunch there.
The exterior
The cozy interior. Really I can spend the entire afternoon here with a book and a cup of coffee.
The interior is dominated by woods and really cozy it almost felt like home. I picked the table on the smoking area because the lights were pretty good and there's only me and my friend there so I don't mind. And guess what, this area has a pretty floor pattern and made me so happy because I'm a sucker for that kind of stuffs, LOL.
And let's take a look at what we ordered. Typical us, really...
Lychee Beer Rp 49.000,-
Okay, this is mine... You can call me weird for ordering beer for breakfast because yes, I did feel weird. But alas, I don't know what the rest of the day will held or what crap that I will be going through, and I just need beers in the morning.
This beer is average, really. Because what else to expect in this kind of brunch restaurant, at 10 in the morning. But yes, this is not bad.
Teh Tarik Rp 25.000,-
If you feel crazy enough to be a brunch person, at least you can bring more 'normal' friend with you. I tried this one a little bit. As a sweet tooth person, this teh tarik is tasteless for me :( Sorry to say but this is the least good teh tarik that I've ever tried. It's just ok. But the cinnamon make this beverage more enjoyable, though.
And now the food. We both ordered pasta, but with a different kind of seasoning.
Spaghetti Aglioolio Chicken Rp 49.000,-
On the outside, this spaghetti looked oh so tempting. It's topped with a lot of dried chili powder that made me little bit worry before ate it because I don't like too spicy foods. And yes, it's spicy guys but in a good way! The chicken is so tender and after all this food didn't make me feel queasy. I'm glad it was good and worth my brunch.
Spaghetti Chicken Mushroom Rp 49.000,-
I didn't pay attention much when my friend ordered her food, and when it came, gosh it's pesto. And I was drooling over at first because I just love pesto much... The pesto is good, but unfortunately, they put less chickens and mushrooms than we expected. But again, it's pesto, so yeah it's pretty good.
After we finished eating our light meals, I still wanted to order a dessert to share with my friend. But she felt full already, and I think I can't consume a whole portion myself without throwing up, so yeah, we didn't order dessert.
And on our way home, we passed this cake shop and suddenly my dessert room in my tummy blaring a loud alarm. So we stopped by and I bought two slices of cake for my evening tea time later at home.
Aren't they beautiful?
After all, today was a blast. I had a good time and went home with a light heart and happy tummy!
