Foie Gras Chawanmushi by ENMARU Japanese Restaurant
I want to hugs Chef Tomie when I ate this chawanmushi. Because this is the best chawanmushi I ever had! I guess, 1 lil' glass that Enmaru served is never enough. It so blew me away. The texture is so soft so delicate and straight melt in my mouth. Not to forget the foie gras, they make it also so tender. Mixing between savory and sweet really a great start for tonight dining. You have to try it by yourself, so you know that I'm not just brag about this chawanmushi.

Not too forget the fresh Orange cake. Taste mixed between souw and sweet. Great for ending.

ALCOHOL DRINK

Passion Fruit Ketel One Vodka

Before really ending the night, Altitude served us one of their alcohol drink. The presentation quite unique. Served in a copper kettle. I taste it for a sip. The taste is so surprising. Vodka mixed with passion fruit ended up with a freshening drink with not too kick vodka taste. It all well balance. 

I really had a great time having dinner in Altitude. Every restaurant have it's very owned signature dish and all really worth to try. Not just give us an experience to dine, but really spoiled us with a great view and a great food. I definitely will comeback here. Have a nice dinner with my hubby with a great view of Jakarta.
