The Apartment
Last week I took my sister out to The Apartment, which is located just 10 mins walk from where we live in Kuningan area. It’s a cool concept for a restaurant – they model each part of the restaurant after parts of apartments – living room, dining room, bathroom, etc.
The menu looks like morning newspaper.. with real articles about the place on the front page!
Inside is the real menu
We requested for non-smoking area so we were seated in the bathroom section. They had bath tubs and mirrors and the whole place was tiled with bathroom-like floorings.
Anyway, I was really hungry at that time so I went safe and just ordered whatever caught my eyes first.. SALMON! I ordered Salmon Fettuccine.
The portion was quite small, and to be honest it was just “okay”. The pasta sauce itself was good, but I have yet to find a place that cooks salmon well here. They just never blend quite right with whatever they were served with and there is always this fishy taste to it…
My sister ordered a prawn risotto dish, but we were quite disappointed by it. I dislike shrimp / prawn /anything that resembles it so I only tried the risotto, which tasted like regular over-cooked rice… I thought risotto was supposed to be sticky and dense?
Attacking me foods! For drinks, I got pineapple juice which was so nice and refreshing!
At the end of the meal, they served our bill in an envelope like jacket. I thought that was a nice touch :)
Overall I guess it was a nice and unique atmosphere, but I won’t be back. The food was just too mediocre for its price and aside of the decor, nothing else really stood out. The whole meal for two costed about Rp 250,000 (about $25), which I think is pricey by Indonesian standard considering you could get meals for $2 here.

Hmm, your blog got me all excited about trying to eat at that place – but then I was shot down because you stated you weren’t coming back. =(
Maybe you are super critic when it comes to eating at Indo restaurants? Maybe? *don’t hurt me
