Dining Out: Gourmet Garage

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Tonight I was originally going to meet up with a friend of mine to collect a cd of my gg2pictures, but it turned out that she could not make it so we rescheduled our meeting. My hubby was originally supposed to go shopping to Gourmet Garage in Kemang to prepare dinner tomorrow for our guests from Denmark. But since my appointment was cancelled, I ended up going with him and we ended up going to Gourmet Garage together.

Gourmet Garage is a new supermarket specializing in imported food items, and it’s the only place in Jakarta (so far that we found) which sells really good steak meat, including the expensive and tender Wagyu beef. It also has a restaurant upstairs, which has three different menus: Japanese food, western food, and deserts. Since we didn’t have any dinner planned we thought we might as well eat there.

My pie was nice although a little bit too dry and there was just too much crust compared to the filling. The chicken burger was as promised: crispy. It was served with some salad and french fries. I particularly like their fries, because it is seasoned with some spices. The chicken burger although nice and crispy was just ok, nothing special. After all it’s fried chicken between two burger buns, what else do you expect other than the usual burger taste? I thought KFC’s chicken burger tastes good too, and this was just the gourmet version – which makes it taste slightly better and much more expensive :P

Here is my hubby, waiting for me to finish my new routine: take picture first, eat later – which is a routine we both are still getting used to. :D
