Last Saturday, on 17th December, I and a number of other fellow bloggers were invited to
Pandan Village's first bloggers food tasting session in Jakarta.
Pandan Village is a restaurant managed by FG Resto that serves authentic Indonesian home recipes. The tagline: "a taste of home recipes" is revealed in the dishes' rich flavours. It has so far opened 3 branches in Jakarta, after establishing 6 outlets in Surabaya's popular shopping malls, such as Tunjungan Plaza, Supermall Pakuwon Indah, etc. For further details on location, click
here.
That evening I saw a myriad of crowds from families, to couples, to colleagues or business partners. It's a no wonder, as the outlet has free Wi-Fi hotspot, a flat-screen TV that plays videos to entertain kids, and the price is very reasonable.
Now, let me tantalize your eyes and taste buds with the following photos I managed to capture:
 |
| Recommended: Tahu Kipas Udang Laguna IDR 32,000 |
 |
| Salad Borneo IDR 38,000 |
 |
| Recommended: Tahu Telor Pandan Village IDR 28,000 |
 |

 |
| Recommended: Ayam Bumbu Rujak IDR 35,000 |
 |
| Recommended: Gurame Bakar Nua Penida IDR 65,000 |
 |

 |
| Sate Ayam Pandan Wangi (5pcs) IDR 38,000 |
 |
| Es Merah Delima IDR 25,000 |
Although personally, I'm not an expert in Indonesian cuisine, Pandan Village serves palatable dishes. Other senior bloggers shared with me, that the dishes served for us have dominant sweet flavour, which is very typical of East Java. As a sweet-toothed person, I surely have no problem with that, because even at home, I often requested my Mum to add sugar to her cookings.
Last but not least, thank you Pandan Village for inviting us to try its great home taste. Here's a photo taken at the end of the tummy-filling food-tasting:
