Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
How was your Valentine with your loved ones? Well, technically I'm single, but I'm just..very happy! I went dinner with my bestfriends at Pantai Indah Kapuk. The original plan is that we're going to have ramen as dinner, but as we went to two ramen houses, all sold out. It was crazy and it was such a heavy traffic jam at PIK. Never experienced PIK like that before.

So we decided to try the most beautiful Fish N Co yet, the one at Pantai Indah Kapuk. I love the decoration of the restaurant, technically it's not very big, but the interior is designed to be minimalist...gorgeous.

I took some shots of their beautiful interior and exterior and these are for you my lovely readers :).















We had great meals for the dinner. We are blessed.
I don't think any of this picture of food below needs introduction. They're just famous.

The best Fish and Chips in Town
So far indeed is the best!
IDR 79.000

Fries fries fries!
IDR 25.000

Red Fish Fillet with Peri-peri sauce.
IDR 85.000
This one is a little unique because I've never tried this before and turns out it's quite good, but if you are not a big fan of fish and strong taste and smell, I don't recommend you this.


It was a great night, great dinner and absolutely..great friends!

I had another reunion with my high school bestfriends and we went eating at this beautiful restaurant named 'Opus Cafe', well technically, obviously this is not your typical cafe, this is obviously more restaurant and bistro like, but sometimes I love the idea of naming a venue with cafe, that just sounds vintage but appetiting at the same time :).

I just love the decorations and how they deco the place, that's why I keep taking photos at the same area.


I don't know why but I just love the branding :).

Yes, they're using TWG tea!
Okay, this is obviously the part that you've been waiting for... what did we get to eat. Originally, we're craving for pastas and we haven't tried this restaurant so we decided to give a shot, how's it turn?

Bolognaise Spaghetti
I would say this is obviously the good old bolognaise spaghetti, rich in tomato sauce and minced meat. It was good for me.

Mushroom Aglio Olio Spaghetti
This one is recommended, I do love this and I think you guys should also try this one, it's just delicious, well-balanced and for you mushroom lovers, this is so good, but beware it's so spicy.


Chicken Stroganoff Fettucinne
This has a huge hint of paprika, but since I've no problem with it then I'm totlaly fine, this one is also a delicious dish worth trying, chicken and mushroom are always bestfriends to one another.

Fish and Chips
This is also a good dish, only I wish the skin can be a little more crunchier, than it's perfect, I love the mayonaisse sauce they're using here.

To conclude my culinary experience here, I think you do need to try this restaurant...it's classy, yet homey and I think the price is still reasonable, the pasta starts from 50+ and most food here starts from it to 100+.

I recommend you sitting inside the restaurant, well mostly it's smoking area but I'm sure you can handle that since it's not that insane.

You know me, I play "whatever it is." :).

I and one friend went hunting for dinner at Grand Indonesia, but I wanna try different things, something where I can eat my gorgeous meal, and in the same time having great atmosphere to feel good. Marche was the name that popped out! and yeah, I went there to have my sweet comfortable dinner and I like it when it's not that crowded.

Thank God I went to Marche during the weekdays because on weekend, this restaurant is kinda busy and crowded.

If you're not familiar with this restaurant, Marche has been there in Grand Indonesia for almost three years and its first restaurant is at Plaza Senayan. As far as I know, Marche is the switzerland/france word for 'market', the open market is the concept of this restaurant and I love how the managed to design the restaurant so beautifully without looking messy and dirty. Probably one of the best interior design of restaurant I've ever seen.






So, what's for dinner?
I had a nice portion of roasted chicken leg with baked potato as the additional.
I have always been a fan of food with a nice looking presentation, they always became a great point to my judgement of the food, well but still the taste says everything. If you're looking for something with the medium portion, this is what I recommend to you, FYI the chicken leg and the baked potato is sold differently, I need to add another IDR 15k for the baked potato, and you can also have this chicken leg with mashed potato, too! but no worries for the extra charge, I wanted to have a beautiful meal that night, and a piece of chicken leg just looks boring to me. For the sauce, they gave me the mushroom sauce.
Beef pizza!
This is super yum, I just want you guys to try it. Enough said.
Garlic bread
How do you like your bread? Crunchy? or medium crunchy? Both are nice.
I tried for the crunchy one because I've never eaten a crunchy garlic bread, I'm usual to the fluffier one. (Is the word 'fluffier' exists?) hahaha!

Pan seared vegetables, you are allowed to choose what vegetables you're going to have, and the cook will cook and serve it right to you. I love the ingedients they're using here, this is absolutely not disappointing. I also had this with risotto.
 Soup of the day! Marche mushroom soup.
 Two glasses of ice lemon tea. Nice.

and ass for dessert, I'm having this super duper yum slice of Vanilla Almond cake, add a little maple syrup and you'll die.




We both spent around IDR 600k, frankly speaking, you need to prepare for extra cash, everything is super tempting here, you almost can't stand not purchasing the meal. If it's your first visit, I will recommend you their famous roasted chicken leg, just like what I had that night, the mushroom soup and one drink. That's a generous amount and you're going to feel full enough, the system of payment is using the card, whatever you purchase, they will input the transaction into your card and never try to lose it because you'll be fined IDR 1 million. Even much more expensive than your own food.

Will definitely revisiting this Switzerland restaurant over and over again. I'm in love.
