Wohooo.. this is the 2nd time I'm came here... Click here to check my 1st visit..

This is Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri (45k), the concoction are bacardi, strawberry mix, and lime cordial.. The taste?? Actually I don't like alcoholic drink.. For me the alcohol too strong, and I can't really taste the strawberry, like plain.. hehe..

Oh no.. I forgot the name of the salad.. If I'm not wrong this is Insalata Nizzarda (48k), I really like this salad.. Like.. like.. like... I like the sauce.. I like the veggie, tuna, egg, potatoes, cheese, etc.. All taste fresh.. Yummy.. =9

Zuppa Di Funghi (16k), this is mushroom soup.. I like the soup.. Can really taste the mushroom, but for me a bit too many pepper.. hehe.. :)

Rabioloni Alla Toscana (58k), this is fresh pasta ravioli with lamb, duck, & porcini mushroom filling cooked with red wine & cream sauce.. Hmm.. When the waiter serve this, I don't know if this is the ravioli, because don't look like ravioli, ryt?? hehe.. But this is stuffed ravioli, but in bigger size.. I don't really like this.. don't know why..

Risotto Al Funghi (76k), this is risotto with mushroom, cream, & parmesan cheese topped with crispy beef bacon.. I like the beef bacon.. Yummy.. Too many mushroom.. I'm not a mushroom lover.. But I like this.. Yummyyyy...  But the first impression.. the taste of the risotto like Knorr cream soup (the instant cream soup)..

Tagliata (95k), sliced grilled wagyu beef with sun dried tomato, green pepper & Italian herbs, served with sauteed porcini mushrooms & grilled Scamorza cheese.. I like the beef.. Very tender and juicy.. This is the first time I eat beef not cooked well done.. Firstly I feet a bit scare and don't want to try.. But after I tried.. I like it.. The taste is yummy... =9

Panna Cotta Con More (18k), I don't really like this.. Because too creamy.. Like eating cream.. >.< I don't know why my sis always ordered this.. In her mind this dessert taste good at the first visit.. But now she admit that the taste too creamy..

Oya.. we ordered 2 pizza to take away..

Toscana Pizza (65k), this is mozzarella, mushroom, black olives, egg, & smoked chicken.. I don't try this.. I'm already too full..

Capricciosa Pizza (56k), this is tomato, mozzarella, mushroom, cooked ham, black olive & onion.. Hmm.. I don't really like the pizza in here.. Even this thin crust pizza.. But the base like a bit soggy, not crispy at all.. huhu.. I more like the pizza in Sopra..

Union (revisit)

Yeahh.. this is the 2nd time I came here.. I came again because I'm curious with their pastry, because my friend said the pastry in here well-known.. Click here to see my 1st time came to Union..

I tried this Crunchy Chocolate Tart  (50k), I like this cake, but the taste just okay, nothing special.. The base is crunchy, the dark chocolate mousse very soft.. It's blended well... Oya.. FYI, they said that they used valrhona.. I know that valrhona is premium and one of the best chocolate, and also expensive..

They said this is the best cake in here.. Red Velvet (50k), Red velvet is a cake that the color very bright.. In here the red color from beetroot so more healthy than using food coloring... The cake is soft and light.. Layered with creamy white frosting, but I think they used Cream Cheese Frosting, because I can taste the cheese but not much, more tasted whipped cream.. And I can also taste a bit of rum.. Then coated with pistachio.. Hmm.. Actually, I don't like this cake.. hehe.. Because the taste quite unique, sweet, lil bit savory.. I don't like a cake that so many flavor in it.. But you can try this cake if you curious.. :D

My friend ordered Nero Pasta (65k), this is with tomato sauce and prawn... My friend said that the taste is good, but just standard, so-so lha... hehe..

I also ordered Marrocan Tea (20k), but I forgot to take the picture.. huhu.. Hmm. the taste of the tea quite unique.. If you like tea, you can try to order this tea.. :D

Actually the food and the pastry in here nothing special.. Biasa aja.. Just this restaurant just open and so many people coming here..

Happy trying.. ^^

Today is FRIDAY.. the hell day in a week, when the traffic jam really really bad... After we see even a single car can't move outside Plaza Senayan, so we decided to wait in this new restaurant.. I don't know this is new restaurant or not, but I just saw this restaurant next to starbucks in Plaza Senayan.. hehe..

This is semi outdoor and semi fine dining restaurant.. Nice to hang out here.. But my advise, you better make reservation first in this restaurant.. hehe.. Or you have to wait in bar if they full book until there is a empty table, but you just can seat there until 7.30pm because there is another reservation  like what I experienced.. ^^

Actually we already full. so we decided to order one pasta to share, the waitress said the best pasta in this restaurant is Meatball Podomoro Spaghetti Basil (55k), I don't like the pasta because I think they too much used garlic and I don't like garlic.. but the meatball really tasty.. I like the meatball.. :D

Because I love Hot chocolate, so I ordered  Hot Chocolate (24k), but I more like the hot chocolate at De Luca, because in here we have to add the sugar by ourself and the taste like less something.. can't expalin.. >.<

The waitress recommend this drink, so my sis ordered Life is Good (30k), the concoction are grape fruit, fresh lemon sorbet, & sparkling water.. The taste?? Really SOUR.. trop acide... >.< Je n'aime pas.... My sis also don't like.. haha.. But maybe if you like sour, you can try this.. :D

Today is my lil' sister birthday... My father said ate dinner in Kemang.. When I arrived, from outside the place looks small, not like usually italian restaurant.. But when I entered.. Wow.. The ambience really calme, elegant with dark nuance.. :D

Table Setting

Sangria (contain red wine) - 50k

Complimentary Breads

Spaghetti Speak e Broccoli (65k)

Pappardalle Toscana (80k), if I'm not wrong, this pasta used blue cheese that the smell is sting.. haha.. but the taste good, not until really good, but not bad either...hehe.. 

Manzo Scottone ala Perugina (100k)

Penne Buon Gusaio (90k), I forgot what the ingredient in this pasta, but the taste standard, quite not good.. hehe..

I'm confused what I want to ordered, then the waitress really polite.. She said that she want to give me the tester of Fettucini al Salmone Marinato e Vodka.. She said that if I like it, I can order, but if I don't like it, it's okay.. When the pasta came....... The plate different from the others, really nice... And the portion not like tester size, it's like normal portion.. For me, this is the most delicious pasta than the other ordered, we can't really taste the vodka because it's already cooked, the salmon also nice, and the they cooked the pasta perfectly.. Al dente.. Yummy.. =9

Fondente Al Cioccolato Con Gelato (27k), this is like molten cake/choco lava, there are melted chocolat inside the cake, the taste?? okay lah.... standard.. the ice cream easy to melt, so when this is arrive in our table, half of the ice cream already melted.. :(

Panna Cotta Con More (18k), my sis said panna cotta in here really delicious, but for me.. Just so-so, because when they served, the panna cotta not yet set/firm, you can see from the picture..
