TREDICI RISTORANTE

Tredici is not a new restaurant and perhaps many of you have dined here before. However, this was my first time here and it was a nice first impression. 

The place feels very homy, and although it seemed like they were quite understaffed (even the security guy got involved in serving food!) , but the service was still good. 

 

This area in the picture is located at the back and it is actually the smoking area, but luckily there was no one smoking when we came so we decided to sit in this area.

 

They serve a basket of various complimentary bread. My favorite is the long crispy sticks :) The bread was actually quite mediocre but the olive/pesto sauce they served alongside the bread basket was really nice.

 Petto di Pollo Alla Parmigiana (Rp 98k++)
Chicken breast stuffed with eggplant, mozzarella cheese, white wine, tomato sauce, mashed potato, mix vegetables

Chicken was too salty for me but overall it was an enjoyable dish :)

 Pappardelle A Casereccia (Rp 92k++)
Pappardelle pasta, green peas, mushrooms, italian pork sausage, tomato sauce, dash of cream

IN LOVE WITH THEIR PASTA! Hahaha I know it is a bit too much since I have actually only tasted one of their pasta dish, but this one was really good. It was not to creamy nor too sour from the tomato. The pasta was al dente and they were generous with the toppings.

House Iced Tea (Rp 30k++)

Lychee and white sumbawa honey

  

Not an ordinary iced tea, another proof that Tredici is serious about their food and beverages :)

 

Overall, I like this restaurant and will definitely come back for another pasta dish.

BENEDICT

Another restaurant from the Union Group! They focus on egg and brunch dishes and recently added more milkshakes to their previous choices. Sorry I didn't manage to take pictures of the place but it was nice with homy and warm ambience.

Japanese Egg Benedict - Rp 80k++ 

Poached eggs, shiitake rice, chicken hamburg, sauteed horenzo, dynamite hollandaise, side salad

Major yum! I love the balance of everything and it really tasted Japanese. Egg yolk was perfectly runny, the sauce tasted ncie, and THE CHICKEN was so friggin good. Salad dressing was also delicious :) I recommend this one to everyone out there!

Cereal milkshake - Rp 60k++

We had a hard time deciding which milkshake to have. We asked for the one that is not too sweet and the waitress recommended this one. He said this is one of the most ordered flavor as well. So we went with it but turned out this was a tad too sweet for us that we didn't even get to finish it. It tasted really just like vanilla milk. And I was expecting a bit more cereal... :| But, presentation wise, it was quite cute, especially the straw :)

Lindt Chocolate Cake - Rp55k++

I have been drooling over pictures of this cake on instagram for a while so my expectation was quite high... But... The rice krispies were not crispy and that really was a major let down for me.. The rest of the cake was just fine but ... you know.. I really hope it was just my bad luck...

Although the only dish I really enjoy was the Japanese benedict, I still am optimistic about the quality of Benedict's food and beverage.. And intending to come back for more.. Let's just hope it was an unlucky day for me :)
