Mr. Curry Food Tasting Panel

Dear fellow tasters,

On Thursday last week, I joined another food tasting gathering.  Well, I didn’t get invited at first but I read about it on twitter, so I mentioned Mr. Curry’s twitter account and yay an email came in for the invitation *grin*.  I have been to Mr. Curry several times but only at their Grand Indonesia restaurant.  This time, the food tasting was held at their second and newest outlet at Pondok Indah Mall 2.  Location wise, it’s not that far but add weekday after-work hour and crazy Jakartan traffic, it took me two and a half hour to get there.

Magnum Cafe

Dear fellow tasters,

There’s a rave going on at Grand Indonesia shopping town level 5.  Magnum, a widely- known ice-cream product by Unilever’s food brand, Wall’s, is opening its three-month-only-pop-up cafe, the Magnum Cafe.  Queue is merciless, it feels like queuing for ‘sembako’ during famine.  

Mr. Curry

Dear fellow tasters,

Ismaya Group, which has successfully brought Jakartan food lovers a series of great restaurants such as Social House, Kitchenette, and Blowfish, recently opened a Japanese curry house which quickly became another favorite addition to the bustling culinary scene in this beloved metropolitan.  Mr. Curry, the cutely-designed cartoon mascot, accompanied by his loyal kitty, Mango-nyan, is ready to welcome curry lovers to taste different choices of curry and curry-flavored menu from curry rice, pizza, pasta, naan bread, to ramen, donburi, omelette rice, and baked rice.  The dessert menu is no less appetizing, such as the unique stick cheesecake with different flavors and Doraemon’s favorite dorayaki.

Kitchenette

Dear fellow tasters,

Behold one of the latest additions to Ismaya Group, the company that proudly bring us Social House, Kitchenette – Restaurant & Crêperie, recently open on the ground floor of Plaza Indonesia Extension. With its open view kitchen and open dining area, Kitchenette is supposedly just like what the name says, an experience of dining in a heart-warming kitchen.

Social House

Dear fellow tasters,

It’s been a year since my last post and I’ve made up my mind to continue this blog after having dinner recently with some friends in a nice fancy place called the Social House.  From this post onward, I’ll try to keep it short and simple but hopefully still readable and enjoyable.
