Bengawan Keraton at The Plaza Thamrin Jakarta

October 7th, 2016. It's always fun to keep in touch with your friend. Actually I met Cilla only one time. After that, she invited me to some events, but I couldn't come. So, after months, finally have a chance to meet up again. And that afternoon, I went to Keraton at The Plaza with Cindy and Darius to try the new package at the restaurant. Bengawan.

Bengawan is the signature restaurant at Keraton at The Plaza, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Jakarta providing an authentic five-star dining experience.

APPETIZERS

For the appetizers, I think they need more choices. They have sushi, but I think they should prepare sashimi as well. They have soup but only one option. I prefer another choice of soup. But the noodle cart was brilliant. It's so fun to order noodle from the cart. Hahaha..

MAIN COURSE

Nasi Komplit

Steamed rice with coconut milk, stir fried soy bean cake, sautéed water spinach, steamed fish in leaf, beef with spicy chilli sauce

Roasted Tilapia Chermoula

Served with baby potato and sautéed mix vegetables

Assorted Indonesian Satay

Served with steamed rice and condiments

Breaded Chicken Breasts

Served with pumpkin puree and sautéed mix vegetables

I didn't like their pumpkin puree, too sweet for me. The breaded chicken breasts were okay. Maybe I was too long taking photo, it became dry and cold. LOL. Try enjoy it while still hot. :)

DESSERTS

Heaven! Love the layer cake. Not too greasy. Perfectly sweet. One of the best, I guess. I love their donuts too. It's like "donat kampung." Their chocolate mousse was the best seller, according to customer's testimony, I guess. Hahaha.. Cilla said, everybody likes it.
