Yeyyy I got some vouchers when I first came to here. And finally I got a chance to revisit this famous Chinese Restaurant. Okay so, if you haven't read my first review about this restaurant, here is it : Canton Paradise. I don't wanna say a lot, let's check their food! Here you go :
Crispy BBQ Honey Pork Bun (29k). 3 pcs of heavenly delish BBQ pork bun. I really love the filling: the BBQ honey pork filling was so good and also generous. The only bad thing is; it was overcooked on the bottom side of the bun. I don't really care actually, the pork bun is still has great taste and become the best pork bun so far :)
Crispy-fried Tofu with Fermented Beancurd (39k). I ordered this for appetizer, just so you know I was confused what appetizer to order because on the menu they were all so mouth-watering and finally I got to choose this. Luckily, my choice didn't disappoint me. The tofu was fried soo crispy and it was nice, and not oily. Such a nice opening!
Canton Crispy BBQ Pork (69k). Well, I'd like to tell you a little story about this. When I looked at the pork selections, I found this was so tempting. When it came to my table, it was a little bit different. And I just realized it was crispy-fried FAT PORK! Geez.. I was quite surprised and yeahh I thought it's such an unhealthy dish hahaha. But after tried it, I must say it was a BOMB! SO SO GOOD. Yes, fat pork is so good. Crispy fried- after you bite it, the oil is melting in your mouth. Feel the sensation! After finished it I felt so sinful LOL. Do you wanna try some? ;)
Crackling Pork Belly (79k). AAA I love this so much!!! I just couldn't resist to eat this! As you can see on the photo, the crispy pork belly was so attractive. The pork skin was roasted crispy and I found it's super delish. The texture was juicy and tender. Don't forget to dip the pork belly with the special sauce. SO YUM. Thanks for making my tummy happy today, pork :P See you again later!
Signature Canton Jumbo Prawn Wanton Noodle - Soup (69k). FYI, for noodle selections, you can choose between soup or dry one. This time, I chose the soup one, and this noodle dish is Canton Paradise's signature. Well, I like the noodle broth, it was so rich flavorful yet tasty. The jumbo prawn wanton was also nice- add the chilli oil to make it more delicious. And the important thing; the noodle was so thin. I really love the noodle texture, it reminds me of Hongkong's noodle. Well done! I'm lovin it :9
Overall, my second visit to here was much better. And yeah, I finally found that they're actually a good Chinese Restaurant, maybe my first bad visit was just not my lucky day at that time. I found all the dished I ordered today were all great, especially porkies hihihi. The service was also fast and friendly. About the price, it maybe pricey but it's very worth and reasonable tho. The classy and classic interior reflect nice ambiance which maked me comfort to enjoy my lunch with my family. I have to conclude that Canton Paradise is a must-visit lovely family restaurant which offers wide-variety of great Chinese food. They should open new branch soon! I'm waiting for it ;)

Another Chinese Restaurant, member of Boga Group; Paradise Dynasty. From its logo, you can see the Xiao Long Bao icon, and I'm going to try their Xiao Long Bao, to prove their tagline! I decided to pay a visit to their first branch at Plaza Senayan. Let's go to the foood :
Steamed Shanghai Dumpling (45k). 6pcs of pork Xiao Long Bao. XLB is one of my favorite dimsum and a must-order dish when I'm craving for dimsum. And at Paradise Dynasty, I guarantee that you absolutely can find a super delicious pork XLB!!! The pork broth filling was so so tasty. And it makes you ADDICTED. I could say this is the best XLB in town. Prove them by yourself! :9
Poached Chicken in Szechuan Style (55k). Poached chicken served with chilli oil in Szechuan style. This is the first dish which came to my table. So I had to wait for the white rice and other dish. Unfortunately, the poached chicken wasn't hot anymore. Well, basically it's a common steamed chicken and covered with 'not spicy' chilli oil. It was just okay for my taste.
Deep-fried Diced Chicken in Szechuan Style (72k). Two words to describe this dish : delicious and spicy. I like this chicken so much! Even though it's a little bit spicy for my tounge, but it's good to eat this with warm white rice. And if you're a fan of spicy dish, this chicken could be also your snack. The chicken was delish, not oily at all and easy to eat since it's bite-sized. Nice eh!
Sauteed Kailan with Minced Garlic (58k). Everywhere I order kailan at Chinese Restaurant, they rarely to cut the stems. Okay so I couldn't eat this, until I called the waitress and ask them to give me a knife. After trying to cut them, one of the waiter came to my table and offer help to cut them with vegetable scissors. Thank God I managed to eat them hahaha. I couldn't find something special with this vegetable dish. It was just okay. For the price, it may be pricey and I think you'd better to order meat or poultry dish.
Overall, I couldn't find something really special with their main-dishes, maybe because I didn't order their specialities. But I love the XLB so damn much! I must say it's the best XLB so far I could find in Jakarta. For the price, it maybe quite pricey, but I think it's reasonable since you can get delicious dishes with authentic yet classy Chinese interior and great location. The service was great and friendly tho. I recommend this Chinese Restaurant to everyone who wants to taste the Legend of XLB!

JiF goes to The Breeze BSD! Yep, finally JiF had a chance to write a review about a little rooftop cozy cafe outside Jakarta, called The FOOL. Going there at lunch time, the weather wasn't friendly with me. It was so so HOT! After around 5mins to look for this cafe, finally I found it! It's located at the second floor of the building, at the rooftop. The cafe has indoor and outdoor areas. Let's see the food here :

Walking through the Food Society at Kota Kasablanca, this eye-catching bistro really attracted me to pay a visit. Luckily, I got a voucher and had a chance to try their dishes. The name of the bistro and the interior are very different. The interior theme is European Vintage, whereas they serve mostly Japanese food and also Western food. Well, it's actually the uniqueness of MIKA Japanese Bistro. And now, let's find out whether their food can impress me or not ;)

There's a new member of Puri neighbourhood, called The Fctry Bistro & Bar. They've just opened since the beginning of June. I was curious about this place, because I saw many people posted photos in instagram about this place. The interior is designed with factory atmosphere, as you can see on their tables&chairs, high ceiling, wall decoration with machine stuffs, open kitchen, etc. Curious about their food? Scroll-down to find it out.
Complimentary bread as a welcome bread. This is totally free just so you know.
Minute Steak (90k). Thinly sliced medium rib eye steak served with creamy mushrooms and crispy potato latkes (don't know the exact name). I love how the rib eye steak is sliced thinly, it maked me easier to eat because I'm wearing braces rite now! The steak is pretty delicious, juicy and tender. The creamy mushrooms and the crispy potato latkes were okay. I couldn't find anything wrong with this, maybe just the portion isn't too big. FYI, this is their brunch menu. Well, I think they were doing great for this dish! Well done :9
Aglio Olio (80k). Classic aglio olio served with crispy bacon. Aglio olio will always has a space in my heart, it's one of my comfort food- whenever I come to a restaurant, I usually order it. In here, I find this is a great dish. The spaghetti was cooked well, not overcooked and certainly tasty. I like the crispy bacon much! In my opinion, this aglio olio's portion is more generous than the minute steak. Unfortunately, it was a little bit too oily for me. But, worth to try though :)
Chocolate Lava Cake (38k). Chocolate lava cake served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Me likey this so much! Even though the chocolate cake wasn't baked perfectly- it wasn't really melting, but the taste isn't doubtful! Believe me, this is so good as you can see on the mouth-watering photo. I just couldn't stop eat this seriously, I really enjoyed the sensation of the mix of the choco cake and the ice cream. YUM!
Anyway, here are some photos of the interior :
Overall, I enjoyed my lunch time here. They serve decent food and the place is quite nice. But one thing you have to know, I was surprised that the place is very small, not like as seen on many photos *effect of the high ceiling. Luckily, the food were great! I came here at lunch time and since the place is small, I had to be on the waiting list and it took quite long to wait. My advice, you come here on weekdays or earlier before lunch/dinner time. Because the place is newly open so many people will pay a visit to try. About the service, hmm maybe because the place isn't big they only employ some waiters- understandable but it affects the slow service for customers. They should give attention to that. The prices of the food are a little bit pricey for the area. Lastly, I think I will come back to try another dish: their famous crispy pork belly :P
