Yamagoya Chahan (Fried Rice)

A taste of authentic Japanese Noodle (Ramen) flavors, right here in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Just can't forget the rich, herbal-like flavor that's savory and a bit bitter at the same time. Testify, testify!

Citrus Cafe

Fillet Mignon Steak Spaghetti (Australian Tenderloin)

Thai BBQ Beef

Seafood Platter

Citrus Cafe
TIS Square, Jl. M.T. Haryono, Kav. 8, Tebet, Jakarta Selatan
Tel. (62-21) 8319401

To Create Something New, Just Combine!

Well known among food lovers and medium-fine diners in Jakarta, Citrus Cafe is indeed an excellent place to gather, party or having a romantic dinner.

Almost all dishes in the menu are general delicacies – which most people surely like (Chicken Cordon Bleu, Oxtail Soup, Caesar Salad, etc). The special thing is, when two general flavors are combined, they form a new, unique taste, just like Remy said in “Ratatouille”.

For instance, I tried Filled Mignon Steak Spaghetti (Australian Tenderloin). It’s just like ordering two menus, cut the unwanted off and eat them together, creating a new sensation. They also offer steak-egg and steak-shrimp combo, chicken parmigiana-spaghetti, etc. These fascinating combos are of course, comes with reasonable pricing, especially for Australian Beef and Norwegian Salmon. And perhaps Citrus might want to improve on the side veggies on the steaks, though.

For beverage, feel the extra special sensation through Jamocha Shake, Kahlua/Bailey’s Jamocha and Bahamas Breeze.

No service charge here, so you might want to thank the waiters for their very helpful service the usual or the Indonesian (tipping) way, though I don’t want to say the latter out loud here. In short, if you want to enjoy a good time, a special occasion, great food combos and generally liked food, Citrus Cafe is definitely your first choice. Just drop by and find out for yourself.

Try also:

- Supreme Omelette

- Chicken Maryland

- Lemon-Grilled Chicken

- Cheesy Chicken Marengo

Ratings:

Price: $ $ $ $

Typical and value-worthy for a cafe, except for some “Norwegians and Australians” with reasonable pricing. Please refer to my pricing ratios.

Atmosphere: * * * *

Hey, maybe I want to spend my Valentine’s Day here (If I got a partner).
Great for indoor and outdoor dining. Great view in outdoors.

Noise: * * * *

(Except, if the guests are making the noises. Otherwise, no disturbances).

Food: * * * *

Oh well, maybe that’s because I was longing for Australian Tenderloin for a long time. Tastes heavenly... Minor improvements here and there will be beneficial, too.

Overall: * * * *

Hey guys, want to invite me to your birthday here? Tee hee hee...

Kenny Rogers' Roasters at Pacific Place

1/4 Chicken Meal With Garden PastaSalad, Mashed Potato & Fettuccini

Hey look at some happy customers here!




1/4 Chicken Meal with Savory Rice, Garden Pasta Salad, Coleslaw






Lunch in Kenny Roger's Roasters filled my day with superb taste sensation of chicken roasted with natural citrus, herbs and spices. The American Country Style culinary adventure indeed!

I tried 1/4 Chicken Original (with Mushroom Sauce) plus side dishes of Garden Pasta Salad, Coleslaw and Savoury Rice and Choco Raisin Muffin, and the taste is really something to remember, not just a stomach-filler. Truly, it's one of the best roasted chicken I've tasted so far. The warm-served muffins are also very tasty and refreshing.

Situated next to Kem Chicks Supermarket, KG Roasters is simply the next stop for shoppers for a great meal and good time with family and friends. Well, I expected something more: Live music or soothing country music from Kenny and friends. However, the hustle and bustle in the supermarket, the one-walled, open-for-all ambience only left the memory of food sensation in my mind. No point spending more than one and half hour or so chatting there. Just eat slowly, talk a bit, and just go and see what Pacific Place has in store next. (Hey, it was lunch anyway, not some romantic, country-style dinner).

The price is worth the food (and a bit of fun).

Try Kenny's specials:
Original / Black Pepper Roast Chicken, Caesar Salad, Round-Up Platter Salad, Country Style Soups.
Special drinks: Fruity Jelly Delight, Jelly Sundae, Fizzy Float (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter)

AMIGOS Mexican Restaurant














Chimichanga















Chicken Quesadillas

Philly Cheese Stick









AMIGOS Mexican Restaurant
Jl.
Pluit Lake Side 168 D-E, North Jakarta - Indonesia

Phone. (62-21) 66697385, Fax. (62-21) 66697386

Website: http://www.amigos-resto.com/

Cuisine: Mexican – Texan (Special), Asian, Italian Pasta (Side Dishes)

BJ Vadis’ Culinary Adventure

It’s my aspiration in life to have a taste of every kind of cuisine in the world, but why spending the whole lot of money going abroad? Almost all are here in Jakarta. For instance, we have Indian, Korean, Japanese, Italian, Chinese, Thai, Indonesian, German, Swiss, Mexican, Australian, Austrian, American, and practically almost from all cuisine capitals in the world.

So, my tour around the world can wait. I can have my satisfaction here.

The Mexican Taste Experience in AMIGOS

For Mexican cuisine, perhaps AMIGOS is the closest to home. All the dishes are prepared carefully and detailed in taste and presentation alike, and the ambience in the same manner. Though far from being like a Mexican Bar in the movies i.e. “Once Upon a Time in Mexico”, at least the ambience is clean, comfy and somewhat romantic like a seaside bistro near the beaches of Mexico (being next to Pluit Lake, I think it’s close to that).

As stated in a TV commercial, taste is the most important. As usual, I tried some of the specials there: Chicken Quesadillas (chicken flour tortilla), Chimichanga (fried flour tortilla with beef and red bean, served with avocado, sour cream and mexican rice), and Strawberry Margarita. BJ Cell tried Philly Cheese Steak (submarine sandwich with grilled beef, mushrooms, cheese and french fries).

Now here’s a thought. Some people may think that Mexican food are all served extra spicy and extra crispy like Nachos, but it’s different here. You can add up the extra jalapenos and spicy stuffs after the food is served. The tortillas are tender and you can eat the tortilla plus meat without having to worry about spilled sauces and meat that made your hands dirty.

The waiters are very helpful too. Actually, Chicken Quesadillas was the waiter’s recommendation, so we tried it and the taste... heavenly. Like Philly Cheese Steak, it gives you a feeling of tenderness, tastes just right, and a peace of mind at the same time. Because the sandwich in some other places tends to be greasy and fatty – typical junk food characteristics. Well, there’s no junk food in AMIGOS, all real food.

Chimichanga is the most complete Mexican taste experience I’ve sampled so far, and I think I’ll come back sometime for more variants in the menu, a good Mexican live music, and a good time. – BJ Vadis, for vadisworld

Try Also:

Tacos, Burritos, Tostadas, Enchiladas, Fajitas, Gonzalez BBQ, Calamari Fritos, Diablitos, Nachos Fiesta, Guacamole, Seviche, Pollos (Chicken), Carnes (US Beef), Margaritas, and Apple Empanadas a la Mode.
