starve

Two days ago I finally met my old friend, Wina! I don't know how exactly we became friends, she was Zay's tenth grade classmate, they go to the same school. However, Wina was transferred to other school far across the province due her parent's occupation.

I met Wina the first time about 3 years ago when Zay and I volunteered at her dance agency as extra dancers for an upcoming event. And soon, we became good friends because we often did our dance practice together and we also shared common interest.

This month Wina visited Jakarta, and hopefully we managed to hang out at Grand Indonesia, one of the largest mall in South East Asia. Our purpose of going there is to have a little culinary adventure.

Before I start, I want to share a mirror selfie that we managed to took! I was so surprised to see how our outfit has the same color tone

Zay - Wina - Me

Okay let's start the food-post!

Appetizer
First of all, as our appetizer, our first destination was Kkuldak, which literally means honey chicken in Korean. It was located on the 3A floor unit ED-12 at the west mall of Grand Indonesia. As a restaurant that only had snacks, Kkuldak was labeled as a meat snack cafe. The famous dish here are of course the kkuldak(s) itself, which have different variants of original, spicy, sweet and sour, and peanut karage.

We ordered 3 small sized kkuldaks which cost IDR 30.000 each. A spicy one and two original kkuldaks.

You get three tater tots and three small pieces of tteoks (Korean rice cake) that you would find underneath the honey chicken balls. The original kkuldak was very sweet, some people that think fried chicken and sweet honey does not goes along might not really like this. Since I love anything sweet, I think the original kkuldak was really tasty, though it was too sweet. As for the spicy kkuldak, the spice was given from gochujang (Korean chili paste), which also gives a nice saltiness to the sweet kkuldak.

Main Course
We have Mexican food as our main course. I was very, very, very happy because I love Mexican food! It was quite hard to find Mexican restaurants in Jakarta, and I'm glad that today we have our lunch at Sombrero, a Mexican Restaurant that is also located at the 3A floor of the west mall of Grand Indonesia.

Unfortunately all pictures that I took were blurry, so there won't be any pictures of the tasty cuisines here. pmsl. I hope Zay have some pics so maybe I can add some to this post.

Here at Sombrero we had Mexican fried rice, a sample set called Mexican Tapaz Style (consisted of a Burrito, two Chimichangas, and three Quesadilla - all in mini size), and of course, Nachos. I'm not really satisfied with the fried rice cos it's freakin' spicy (and the portions of the other menu), but overall the taste of the dishes are satisfying.

Dessert
Last but not least, the dessert..  Here we have gelatos from Ron's Laboratory which is famous for it's liquid nitrogen that is used during the making process of the gelatos.

On the left is Breakfast, plain based gelato with nutella swirl topped with crunchy cornflakes; and Jackpot, sweet potato gelato with crunchy jack fruit chips as topping. One more thing that made Ron's Laboratory different is the injection as the topping.

The price here is quite pricey. A gelato costed IDR 60.000 while an injection is IDR 8.000. So basically these cost IDR 70.000 cus I bet everyone wanted to try the injection. However, the tasty gelatos and the cozy place, as well as an attraction of "dragon breath", and the hot good-looking waitress are worth for the amount of money spent.

It was an amazing day. We went back home at 6PM because we didn't wanted to get stuck by the traffic jam. Zay and I went to a mall that is located right beside Dad's office so Dad would pick us up.

And that is the end of this post.
