I Luv Curry

At last i tried this restaurant.... surprisingly, it's beyond expectation. There were few times i almost visit this restaurant at usual on weekend, but always change my mind. The reason is during weekend almost no customer inside the restaurant hmmmmm. Yesterday i felt like eating western food, steak. But thinking about the smell left on my shirt, i changed my mine, and this restaurant seem appealing because it's quite as usual ^^.

So i went in and ordered to cashier, their style remind me on KFC during my childhood, queue on 1 line, and beside cashier there are glass rack but i saw nothing other than curry sauce.

I was waiting for sometimes while the cashier served another customer. It gave me sometimes to make up my mind.

The menu
They have chicken, beef, fish and vegetables curry, i go for Beef burger curry rice set (miso soup, soft drink and coffee/green tea jelly) and additional side dish, i chose coffee jelly and decided to order coffee, my first cup on that day :). They served my coffee jelly on the spot and added some milk/butter, couldn't recognize it well.

Coffee Jelly


Hmmmm it taste nice..., coffee smell and a bit salty taste from it's sauce.

After a while they served the tamago wafu salad, and once again i was surprised, it's tasty, with it sour taste, this salad made for a good appetizer.

Tamago Wafu Salad



I a bit stunned when they served the coffee, it's look like tea... and definitely coffee is not their expertise.

Coffee


At that time i was very eager to taste the curry rice, to confirm my thought that it suppose taste bad as it's always look so quite. So when the curry rice came, i can't help myself to give a taste even before i took photo. And.... it surprised me again, it taste not too far from the original curry rice in Japan hmmmm....

The Service
They really know who to serve customers well, i asked for less sugar in my coffee, they did and they did ask as well.


The price
Beef Burger curry rice + miso + soft drink 8.8, 1.8 for Tamago Wafu Salad, 1.5 for the coffee and free complimentary for coffee jelly. Others menu should have cheaper than beef.


Come, visit and try, you won't regret it.

Germany cuisine @brotzeit

I had been eying this restaurant since last year in Vivocity, but have no chance to visit until last week.

I went for early morning Sunday movie and it ended around 1 PM, look around to have my lunch around Somerset 313, i always think a lot of nice restaurant in 313 but the only restaurant i tried before is Marche, so that day i decided to try brotzeit (after search their menu from net on the day before).

For some people, i think it's a bit too early to visit for this kind of restaurant (they serve a lot of variety beer), so it's a bit empty. I sat somewhere open air facing pedestrian.

The menu
They have variety kind of sausage but i decided to go for pork knuckle, i want to try pork knuckle since February but have no courage. So i ordered beef goulash soup, pork knuckle and coffee.
The waitress look a bit wary on me, i was thinking back then whether i ordered too much, but i already checked on their menu, it suppose not too much. They asked me whether i want all serve together, i asked for soup come first.

Goulash soup come, i was shock... it's portion of noodle soup (1 big bowl), instead of normal western cream soup. Goulash soup taste very nice, it taste like tomato soup but spicy. They give generous amount of beef cubes. It comes with 2 slices of wheat bread.

Beef Goulash Soup



After i finished my Goulash soup, they served the Pork knuckle, and i almost chocked, this can't be true, in their menu the pork knuckle look like just a bit bigger from the chicken drummed, but this one look as big as half turkey..... Now i know why the waitress look amaze when i ordered...
Well anyway Bon Appetite... They cooked it well, crispy from outside, juicy from inside, it had no porky smell, not too much fatty on it. They served it with mash potato, some preserve vegetables, pickles, fresh tomato and fresh spinach. Their mash potato have some sour taste, so generally the side dish were sour, while their tomato is surprisingly sweet.

While for the coffee, it's strong and i like it.
Coffee




The Service
Their service is excellent, referring to my attire that day, i was look like want to go to 'pasar malam' and they still serve me well.

The Price
The damage on my wallet because of this lunch is around 60, can't remember exact figure.

I still want to visit this restaurant again someday to try their beer and sausage :)

Italian cuisine @Amici

Hmmm... after long time ignoring my crave on something new, this weekend i decided to move and look for a good food.

I had heard about Holland Village for quite sometimes but never really think to go there. So 3 weeks ago i went there, with some guidance from ladyironchef blog.

After i reached there i a bit stunned, it's quite a different as my thought. I expected a place full of streets food but instead i found a street full of restaurant. After walk from end to end, and considering between Lebanese and Italian food, i decided to go Amici due to credit card promotion they offered.

When i was waiting at the small door, the waitress come and asked for my reservation which i didn't do. Then, they offered me a table @ balcony or open air facing road side. Considering their balcony is like a small space about 1m square, i took the table facing road side.

The menu
They have some variety of pasta, salad, antipasti, soup , coffee and wines.
I decided to have Lobster Bisque, Pasta with Squid's Ink and Fried Cod and 1 cup of cappuccino.

They served cappuccino first, nothing special about it.

Next they served Lobster Bisque... hmmm.... since this is my first time taste Lobster Bisque i have no comparison but it taste nice.. a sour and little spice taste and fresh lobster.

After wait quite long (long enough to finish half of the Lobster Bisque) they served the pasta. I taste it and a bit dissapointed, after taste their Lobster Bisque actually i hope same quality from their pasta but the pasta just taste normal almost plain. They gave a generous numbers of squid slices and 3 slices of fried cod. The ingredients are fresh.

The Service
This restaurant service is quite good until the time i asked for Tabasco, i had to ask for 3 times and wait for around 10 minutes to get it. Generally is not too bad maybe they a bit busy that night.

The Price
Total Price for all is around 62, but after discount from one Credit Card it become around 48.
