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

PANCIOUS - New Identity Revealed

A view weeks ago, I got a chance to attended for new launching Pancious new concept. Beside the new identity launching, Pancious also did the opening for their new store in Grand Indonesia Mall Jakarta.

Pancious Grand Indonesia

So excited to come to this 14th store of Pancious. For pancakes lovers, I guess Pancious is not a new thing. And I guess I don't need to explain for more further. As for me, Pancious is a place for hangout with my besties and also a place for a date with my hubby. I already tried almost all Pancious menus. For me, Pancious always succeed make me satisfied with their menu and service.

The new identity from Pancious not just for the interior and exterior, but they make the whole the changes, like logo, menu books, food packaging, etc.  This inpiration for new logo comes from a scratch from the Chef who always invented their original recipes. As for red color is already become a signature color & a strong identity from Pancious who represented big passion  in culinary world. Meanwhile black give braveness image to Pancious to try a new things just to make all customers happy. Psstt... I still see their old logo in their website. They should change it immediately.

As their new theme, Market Place, so for the launching Pancious new store and launching Pancious new identity, they set up the whole area of the restaurant just like market place with wooden interior and furniture.

Eventhough red has become their identity color, I think in the new concept, I only seen a view red here. But we can still feel the warm ambiance.

While waiting for the main event begin, we welcome with Pancious's yummy appetizers like nachos, baby potatoes and chicken  wrap. OMG! I can't even stop snacking it. I always order baby potato and chicken wrap when I visited Pancious. They're so yummy and perfectly cooked & seasoning.

Look at those yummy appetizers, who doesn't want to grab'em all?? Also look at that gorgeous display. It so adorable.

Chicken Wrap - Moist & Soft tortilla for the wrap, tender chicken that blend well with the sauce. It so nice to have it whether it still warm or already cold. Take 1 and I bet you want it more.

Nachos - Crispy nachos chips topped with crisp beef bacon and barbeque sauce.

Crispy Calamari - A big cut & tender of squid coated with crispy flour and poured with mayo. Taste so yummy

Baby Potatoes - the one that must order in Pancious is baby potato seasoned with herbs topped with smoked beef and mayonnaise.

Small Pancakes & Toppings - For today's event, Pancious served their signature pancake in a small size. The pancakes always fluffy & great. From those many topping, I still prefer the classic one. Only poured it with maple syrup.

Drink this Fresh Milk to accompany your pancakes

After a warmth greetings from Fransisca Tjong, Managing Director Pancious and taste their welcome food, we seated in a nice table that already set-up with many petite cute things. Not for long, came their Pancake for 1st main course that day.

Green Tea Pancake

Single – IDR 39,000          Double – IDR 48,000

So delicate and gentle with Green Tea sauce and biscuit crumble.
I'm a big fan with almost pancake variants from Pancious. And this green tea is one of them. The sauce taste not too sweet. The thickness is just right. Served with vanilla ice cream.

Creamy Marinara Salmon – IDR 72,000

Thick & Creamy, Your choice pasta with salmon, marinara sauce & cream.
The marinara sauce taste not too sour, maybe because it already blend with the cream. The thickness is just right. Perfectly blend with the aldente spaghetti. You can substitute the spaghetti with other pasta of your choice like fettuccine.  The salmon also very tender and not smell fishy. Another plus from this pasta.

Tropical Fruit Punch - IDR 52,000

A punch that dominated with lychee served in a pitcher. So you can share it with your other 3 friends. For me, this punch taste too sweet. The the fruit in it taste really fresh.

Pancious gave all guest tickets that can exchange with all ingredients that Pancious use. We can exchange it in their 'mini market'. I really love the gift like this. Not because they give me free. But it just not a gift. Pancious want to tell to all the guest about their fresh ingredients. What ingredients they use to create their amazing menus. From basic things like seasoning, onion, vegetables, fruit until their pasta and milk. All served here. From this, we know that Pancious only use natural ingredients. No artificial things. So great we can know Pancious even more  through their ingredients.

At the end, not just happy tummy that I've got from today's event. But also a great experience and more knowledge about Pancious. Their hospitality is really a plus beside their yummy food. Hope they keep creat many new menu.
