OH I LOVE MONDAY! A statement that I don't really say it much but for today, yes I do love Monday. Usually my Monday is a busy day full of urgent matter and crazy stuff to be done, typical chaotic day. But today even this morning the traffic just went crazy, I have a relaxing day. Nothing much to do in the office which means I have time to finally update my blog again.
Strangely it becomes something I'm really excited about. I know people might think it's only because I just started this blog which makes me still feel the excitement but I don't think so. I love to share my experience when it comes to food! Haha.
So, how's your weekend guys? I had a great one I can say. Last Saturday I went to Lotte Shopping Avenue which located in Kuningan area near the Sampoerna Strategic Building. Brightspot Market was held there, I bet lots of you also went there to check out cool stuff that were sold by lots of different cool brand which most of it are Indonesian indie local brand. It was a cool market I can say because it's always crowded everytime there's a Brightspot Market going on. Haha.
Anyway it's my first time going to Lotte Shopping Avenue (shame on me). I heard from one of my friend that there's a new nice place called JJ Royal Brasserie which just opened publicly recently. So me and my friend decided to try it.
Located at Lower Ground Floor, it has such a unique interior. There're some huge painting of beauty doll, which is their icon, with some different outfits. The interior itself I can describe as the combination of colourful, cheerful, yet elegant and luxurious. The place itself is divided into two areas, non-smoking area and smoking area so it's convenient for all the guests.
It was so crowded there last Saturday, but luckily I didn't have to wait for too long to get my seat.
JJ Royal Brasserie serves some different varieties of food, such as salad, steak, soup, burger and sandwich, some asian cuisine, and even they offer lunch set menu special for you guys who might go there with your group of friends or family. Not only food, but also they have many varieties of beverages, alcohol and non-alcohol beverages. On my last visit, I ordered their pasta and chicken dishes and for the drink a Ronnefeldt Tea and Mango Chilled Juice. Personally I like tea so much, so everytime I have a chance to taste different tea in different place I'll definitely do it. Usually my favourite flavour is mint tea, any kind of mint haha, but if you don't like mint tea you can choose other flavours that they also serve, such as earl grey, fruity chamomile, etc.
Ronnefeldt Tea - Mint & Fresh Flavour (25K)
Ronnefeldt Tea (25K) & Mango Chilled Juice (28K)
Prawn Linguine Aglio Olio (85K)
The Prawn Linguine Aglio Olio is great. I really love it, not too spicy but yet so tasty. I love the fact that they put pine nuts, crunchy ebi, and fried garlic which for me suites well with savoury taste of spicy aglio olio. Nothing much to say about this pasta, I simply love it. haha
Half Rotisserie Crispy Chicken (110K)
Another dishes that I ordered was their Half Rotisserie Crispy Chicken served with sautéed baby potato and mustard sauce. The chicken is cooked well, but maybe personally I prefer something more juicy, yet the chicken was still great. I like their sauce the mustard sauce, even usually I don't really like mustard, but they serve such a great sauce. It doesn't taste sour at all, it's tasty and make the chicken and baby potato even more tasty. The portion for this dish was also quite big so you will be full enough eating this by yourself. haha.
Not only serving food and beverage, they also serve dessert and pastry. I heard from my friend that their pastry selection is so good, but unfortunately the last time I went there it was sold out (a proof that it must be so delicious I guess).
Overall I had a great dinner in JJ Royal Brasserie. The fancy ambience yet comfortable, great taste of food and beverage, and friendly service make this place is worth to visit. I'll definitely go back and grab their dessert and pastry next time, maybe for lunch with some best fellas ;)
Happy Monday! Cheers.
