To bad, I'm not allowed to capture many great things from this place by the server. But anyway, let just move to the menu

APPETIZER

Baked potato jacket that served with chilli con carne, Mozzarella Stick with Marinara Sauce that really really when it's warm so we still can taste the melted mozzarella in our mouth then the last is the Gratin Chicken Avocado with barbeque sauce that be my most like from the appetizer plate that day.

MAIN COURSE

PAN SEARED DORY PRIMAVERA
Pan Seared Dory Primavera served with Pesto Spaghetti. The spaghetti cooked aldente and the dory fish fillet also tender and not fishy. I like well balance from the marinara sauce. It taste a bit tangy from the tomato and a bit spicy.

ROAST CHICKEN SCALOPPINI POTATO and RATATOUILLE
Roast Chicken is so tender. The taste is decent. The skin is crisp and the sauce soak well into the chicken. The ratatouille a bit overcooked but still taste good. Mix well with the scaloppini that taste a bit bland. Overall this roasted chicken quite good.

BEEF WELLINGTON with SCALLOP POTATO and MIX VEGETABLE
A dish that consist of sirloin beef and fried mushroom poured with gravy sauce. Served with potato that filled with scallop and ratatouille.
The appearance to me is more look like a beef pastry than the beef wellington I usually eat and see. But this one taste pretty good. The is tender and the pastry quite moist. It crisp in the outside. But there's something from the pastry that missing. Not too fluffy in the inside.

Looks like Oh La La don't have any standard for each menu consistency.  Because when I asked my friend in the different table, some said the Beef Wellington was tender and other said it was chewy and not nice. That also happened with the Roast Chicken, in our table the taste is nice but my friend's chicken  taste a bit salty.

But overall, the main course served was decent and quite good to try.

DESSERT

ASSORTED SLICE OF CAKE
Lemon & Peach Cake taste good. Not too sweet, pretty moist, but the weird thing is, why they put blueberry sauce as a mix. It would be great if they put lemon or peach sauce.
Opera Cake taste nice. Moist and smooth. The layer is good. Really melt in my mouth
Strawberry Shortcake taste pretty good. The cheese filling quite nice. But the cake not too fluffy.

Overall, Oh La La still on the track to serve their yummy and scrumptious menu. So many selection of cakes, cookies, bread or any main course that can make your drooling. Just prove it  by yourself.

Steakopedia at OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE

After my last Food  Tasting at Outback Steakhouse now I had a chance to comeback here with several bloggers mates again.

Still took place in Kuningan City Mall Jakarta, Outback Steakhouse  still offering their tempting menu with a nice ambiance from the restaurant.

We seated in a long tables with screen and in-focus at the end. This is because today's event is not just for dining here. But there's a little learn about the meat it-self called STEAKOPEDIA. The presentation was given by Mr. Dilip P. Krishnan - Head Of Marketing. It quite interesting. So we can know which part we can choose for our steak.

APPETIZER
Then appetizer start served in our tables.

Soup of The Day

Cup: IDR 29.900

Bowl: IDR 34.900

Today's fresh made soup
That day we served they signature mushroom soup. It still warm when it served at our table. The condensed is just right. I like the consistency from this soup although I taste a bit heat of pepper in it. Too much strong of pepper I think.

Spinach Artichoke Dip - IDR 89.900

A creamy blend spinach, artichokes, Monterey jack and Parmesan cheese, baked until bubbly. Served with Tortilla Chips. 
The very crunchy tortilla chips with a cheesy dipping to accompany with. The dipping was so yummy and finger lickin'. I barely can't stop eating it. The creaminess is just right. The spinach make a balancing from the cheese. HAVE TO TRY.

CRISPY FRIED MUSHROOMS - IDR 69.900

Lightly breaded and fried mushrooms and served with spicy ranch dressing
This fried mushroom  is what must order when you visit Outback Steakhouse. A juicy, fatty mushroom coated with buttermilk and breaded flour. So, it's crispy outside but juicy inside.

Welcoming Bread - Complimentary

While waiting our steak ready, Outback Steakhouse took us for a grand tour to their kitchen. Yeess... they allowed us to revealed their secret in making their yummy dishes. Since I've been peeking Outback's Kitchen  so, I only stop infront of the butcher's table. Why I'm interested with that, because I'm so curious how the scale the meat and how the roast the prime rib. And you what? The rib meat before going in to slow-roasted process, was already juicy and tender and yummy. I tried a bit hehehe

That red color above is not a raw meat. but it's the juice that come out from the meat. Without any seasoning, it already taste good.

MAIN COURSE

Prime Rib

8oz – IDR 249.000

10oz – IDR 289.000

Every additional 2oz – IDR 40.000

Meticulously aged, then slow-roasted to seal in the savory beef flavor and to ensure tenderness, hand-carved to order and served with au jus. Or, have it oven roasted slowly then seasoned and seared to perfection.
The steak that served above is 8oz of prime rib. Since they don't served medium that day, so I choose medium-well for my steak. The thickness from the meat is seasoned well. The taste a bit salty, specially when I dip it into the au jus.  But the taste is great, It so tender and juicy. Served with good taste and consistency of the mashed potato. To bad the veggies a bit overcooked for me.

For you who not too familiar with Au Jus sauce, let me googling it for you...
Au jus is French for "with [its own] juice"; jus is the juice itself. In American Cuisine, the term is mostly used to refer to a light sauce for beef recipes, which may be served with the food or placed on the side for dipping. In French Cuisine,  jus is a natural way to enhance the flavor of dishes, mainly chicken, veal and lamb [Taken from WIKIPEDIA]

DESSERT
Meal wont be complete without dessert. This time Outback Steakhouse served one of their signature dessert.

Chocolate Thunder from Down Under – IDR 69.900

Fresh-baked pecan brownie is crowned with rich vanilla ice cream, drizzled with classic warm chocolate sauce and finished with chocolate shavings and whipped cream.
This dessert is heaven for chocolate lover. it so yummy, the brownie is so moist, with a rich and generous of chocolate sauce. It's explode and melted in my mouth.

Overall, we've got the knowledge and a happy tummy. So glad to be back to Outback Steakhouse

Kenny's Chicken Teriyaki at Kenny Rogers Roasters

After my last visit to Kenny Rogers Roasters for Xmas & New Year new menu, I've got a chance again  to try another menu from Kenny Rogers Roasters.

In celebrating Chinese New Year 2014, Kenny Rogers launched their new menu. it's Kenny's Chicken Teriyaki and 2 freshening drink to accompany your meal.  If you feeling weird why they launch Japanese food in Chinese New Year, well.... so do I hehe... Since it's seasonal menu, so you really have to try this. Enjoy Kenny's Chicken Teriyaki Chicken start from 27 January 20014 until 16 March 2014. Mark your calendar y'll.

The new menu launched at Kota Kasablanka branch. Me and hubby several times eat in this place. Pretty convy, eventhough sometime it can be a bit crowd when we sit in outdoor area.

Kenny's Chicken Teriyaki
IDR 65.000

1/4 Roasted Chicken Leg wrapped in special teriyaki sauce served with mushroom soup, aromatic rice and your choice of muffin.
Never judge by its appearance. As you see in the picture above, the appearance not look tempting and beautiful to bring your appetite to come. Because they need to wrapped the chicken with cooking paper when they roasted it, so that the teriyaki sauce soak into the chicken. Well, when I taste it, it really marinated well. The teriyaki sauce really soak in to the whole chicken. Even to the bone! The chicken served tender. It served with aromatic rice that cooked well ( my friend Yenny, so happy see that rice LOL), mushroom soup, that I wish could served warm, and muffin. I choose banana muffin from 3 selected choice of muffin. This menu enough to make my tummy full to the max.

Kenny Rogers also served Kenny's  Chicken Teriyaki for family package.  You can have Kenny's Chicken Teriyaki - Take Home Feast with only IDR 499.000. You already get 6 portion  of Kenny's  Chicken Teriyaki, 6 side dish, 6 orange juice and 6 home-made muffin. Isn't that great?

Grappy Blast - IDR 33.000

Grappy Blast is a mix between honey citrus and grape. They brag to me that once I drink this Grappy Blast, you wont stop. Well, they prove it right. I like the consistency of the honey citrus and grape with a twist a little bit of soda. It blend so well so it make the sour and sweet mix together.

Tropical Paradise - IDR 33.000

A mix between pineapple, orange and strawberry splash. It also make sour and sweet mix together. I think the strawberry syrup more dominated in this drink. But it still freshening also.

So what else are you waiting for? Come to the nearest Kenny Rogers to get this special menu.
