Eating at PASAR SANTA - Part Deux

Many vendors that exist at Pasar Santa. Every vendor offer different kind of food or different theme and concept for their store. That's one of the reason why I came here. This time I bring along my sisters. From my 1st experience visited Pasar Santa, we decided to arrived at Pasar Santa at 5pm. Because we think all vendors must be already open in that time. So we have 4 hours until 9pm to dine.

Well, after on-site, our guess was totally wrong. The place was already crowded. And its getting hot and humid. With a very long queue in every vendors. huhuuu.... So this time, my strategy is find a vendors that look decent and not too crowded.

Ki.Cchin is our 1st destination that day. The concept is like Japanase Street Food Stall. With limited seat, fit around 9 peoples. Ki.Cchin served Japanese Tepanyaki that cost IDR 20.000 for Regular and IDR 25.000 for Large Size.

TONGGY GYUTAN DON - IDR 20.000 (REGULAR)
A too thin slice beef tongue. It so well seasoning. The tongue is tender.

MIXED TEPPANYAKI - IDR 25.000
It's a mixed between beef, chicken, tofu and vegetables. The sauce is way to salty to my palate. But the beef and chicken cook to tenderness.

The one that capture my eyes earlier is the bright signing board that wrote Creme de la Creme. It's got to be something. Next thing is the smokey Lab tube. Wow... I'm just like in the real Laboratory. Curious, and  it's a Creme Brulee that they sell. I choose the green tea topped with caramel sugar candy and Nutella instead of the original one. I wish the green tea taste a bit more bold. At least the texture is smooth and soft and not too sweet. It cost IDR 20.000 for the Creme Brulee and IDR 5.000 to add toppings

Sepotong Kue served petite home made choux, pastry and ice cream. Bu too bad when I got here, the only left from the is only the Ice Cream. They have chocolate java, green tea, vanilla, and latte ice cream. So I bought their latte ice cream topped with melted hershey chocolate that cost IDR 15.000. The ice cream texture pretty smooth with the right amount of sweetness. Gotta try their choux and pastry next time.

BURANGRANG placed in the back place beside Claypot Popo. My sister order a plate of batagor that day. Served hot. Because it fried when we order. Love the texture. it's chewy and crunchy. The peanut butter sauce also good. With a hint of spicy.

YOKO FRIES served a snack with potato as a base. What I've got above is potato wedges with beef bacon chunk that have crispy texture, and add a mayonnaise and barbeque sauce. The taste pretty nice. I wish it served more warm.

Guess my hubby still can't moved on from Cendur Bar. He spotted queued for the Cendur. even though that day the queue for Cendur was so long, he even didn't give up. This time he tried their Green tea. It's a durian with shaving ice topped with green tea ice cream and garnish with Oreo biscuit. It supposed to be Green tea kit kat. But since they run out for the Kit Kat, then we change it to Oreo. Like the green tea taste. Not too bitter and not too sweet. So its balancing the durian.

Our journey end at ROTI ENENG. Like its name, Roti Eneng serve many variant of fluffy bread with its homemade filling. They have a lot of choice for filling. Since when I came already near a closing time, so they run out the svory bread. Miss Eneng (sorry dunno her name hehehhe)... suggest me to try the Caramel Earl Grey. Its even not listed in their menu. Because she said, she only made it several times. So not a regular menu. Well, if that so, I go with the Caramel Earl Grey then. And I'm in love with it. The caramel is not too thick and not too sweet. The earl grey is smells good and not just a hint. So it has a great balance with the caramel. OMG! You should try it! As for the drink I ordered their home made Ice Chocolate Sea Salt. The milk is not too thick. with a hint of sea salt, this ice chocolate good paired with your bread.

CARAMEL EARL GREY BREAD - IDR 25.000
ICE CHOCOLATE SEA SALT - IDR 20.000

Macaroni House

I've known Macaroni House long time ago even when their store in Puri Indah not build yet. At 1st they online sell through online. Probably see the great response from customers, they finally open their 1st store in Puri Indah area. To be honest, I don't where is Puri Indah. Luckily I went there with several mates.

Entering Macaroni House restaurant, feel like home. The place not too spacious but convy enough. Separated in to two area, indoor and outdoor. We prefer take a seat indoor with a long bench and table. By the way... the owl cushion is soo cute... Not just the cushion, every little things and details that Macaroni House have, is so cute and unique

Kiddos... don't worry babies... You have playhouse here in Macaroni House. You can dig your macaroni and play with fun

Macaroni House make an innovation to infuse Indonesian flavor in their menu. So when the Owner< Clara said that there will be Opor, Woku and sambal fish I'm pretty curious and a bit skeptic actually. Will it be tasty or work with the pasta. Well... Let's prove it...

POP (Potato Oh Potato) – Opor Baked Potato 6 pcs - IDR 100.000

Wooww... this POP taste good. Macaroni House using Opor for one of the POP menu. Opor is classic Indonesian food specially from Central Java. made from coconut milk. So smooth and tasty. I used to taste the carbonara one. And it also taste great.

Vesuvius Fries - IDR 35.000

From it's picture you see french fries topped with melted cheese  and barbeque sauce. My suggestion, eat it while it's hot. Because the melted cheese & barbeque sauce taste more yummy and tasty.

Spaghetti Rendang Bolognaise - IDR 38.000

Rendang infuse with Bolognaise? Uuumm curious aight? Rendang has been the most favorite food in the whole world. A signature dish from West Sumatra. Macaroni House brought rendang into one of their dish. And it taste good. A bit spicy but not leaving weird taste after eat it. 

Spaghetti Sambal Fish - IDR 38.000

They cooked the chicken beautifully. Crispy outside and still tender inside topped with melted cheese. Served with mashed potato as side dish and the sauce is yummy. Make every single things on plate taste more fantastic.

Blueberry Crumble - IDR 25.000

What I like from this blueberry crumble is that the taste not too sweet. Macaroni add the sweetness just right. That's why probably they balance it with vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate sauce. Warm and Cold is tasty.

Strawberry Yakult - IDR 20.000

Me likey this one. Taste a bit sour. Blend with yakult make this drink more great. Perfect balance after your eating pasta menu.

At 1st, I thought this is a coffee. But when I sip it... It's teh tarik with mocha ice cream. Taste a bit bland. But the ice cream can cover it up.

Melon Float - IDR 20.000

Melon Juice with vanilla ice cream. great for your lazy afternoon.

Dalmatian Shake - IDR 20.000

Kids will love this Dalmatian Shake which is actually a chocolate milkshake garnish with Oreo cookies. I like the consistency of this shake. Not too sweet but the chocolate flavor still dominate and not bland.
