[CLOSED] Grand Opening MAD (Modern Asian Diner)

February 27th, 2014. It was MAD Grand Opening. MAD - stands for Modern Asian Diner - is a concept from Tung Lok Group Singapore. MAD located in Lotte Shopping Avenue, Ciputra World, Jakarta. MAD is a restaurant with 200 seats capacity with open concept kitchen and bar. As customers, we could enjoy seeing directly the chef and the mixologist mixed the food. MAD provided dining hall and function room with 30 persons capacity. This is a commitment from MAD to provide something like this for urban people nowadays.

MAD also gives us experience of two worlds culinary. East culinary fills with taste exoticism and combination west culinary with modern touch. Customer will taste a combination of asian food with western touch, and vice versa. What a perfect way to enjoy culinary. This eating experience will be perfect with various of cocktails made by MAD. Wine lovers will be spoiled by the mixologist and artisan. "MAD is a place to eat dim sum in the afternoon, but restaurant and cocktail bar in the night," said Dick Lee.

First, they served us beverages. Then, dim sum in platters and main course.

Strawberry Shortcake

Sometimes I wondered what if a strawberry cake become a drink. Voila! Finally I could taste it. It's a combination between not-too-sweet and not-too-sour. Love it.

Steamed Truffle Dumplings 20.8k (3 pcs)

This was very delicious!!! The truffle aroma was strong. If you enjoy truffle, you'll find foodgasm in every bite of this dumpling. The vegetables inside the dumpling were very fresh. Love it.

Cream Crab Croquette 55k

Fried creamy crab croquettes served with honey mustard and tartare sauce. This is a croquette with creamy crab. I love the taste of the mustard, but for me, definitely it ruined the flavour of the cream crab. All I could taste was only the mustard. But, it was yummy. The texture of the croquette was great.

Spicy Salmon Spring Rolls 68k

Poached spicy salmon, avocado, and garden greens wrapped in rice paper wish sesame dipping sauce.  This spring roll was very very delicious. I ate two hahahaha.. The skin was tender and moist. You could taste a real freshness in every bite. The sauce was put in a cucumber. I ate the cucumber too hihihihi..

Josper-Grilled Wagyu Claypot Rice 198k

We had to stir the claypot rice. Mix it perfectly. I love the onsen egg, but the truffle oil makes it perfect. The wagyu beef was juicy. The tenderness was awesome. But.. I prefer if they put more flavour. It would be perfect.

After ate delicious food, they asked us to join them taking tour to their other restaurant, My Humble House. It was in 5th floor, and a fine dining place.

I love the place. Their concept was fine dining but I didn't feel intimidated there. It's just one lovely place for chinese restaurant. If you wanna try their place, don't forget to text me. I will join you right away hahahahahaha..
