Bengawan<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong> as the<\/span> signature<\/span> restaurant<\/span> at Keraton at The Plaza<\/strong> are now<\/span> having<\/span> a special<\/span><\/span> Mexican Lunch<\/strong> set<\/span> menu<\/span> which is only<\/span> available<\/span> for<\/span> lunch<\/span> on the<\/span> weekdays<\/span>. Located<\/span> on the<\/span> seventh floor<\/span> with spectacular<\/span> views<\/span> of Jakarta and<\/span> opposite<\/span> to the<\/span> hotel<\/span> guest<\/span> indoor pool<\/span>, this<\/span> restaurant<\/span> offers<\/span> not just<\/span> a wide<\/span> selection<\/span> of food<\/span> and<\/span> cuisines<\/span>, but<\/span> also<\/span> modern<\/span>, cozy<\/span>, sophisticated<\/span> and<\/span> romantic<\/span> ambience<\/span> with soothing<\/span> water<\/span> features<\/span> and<\/span> green<\/span> plants<\/span> next the<\/span> window<\/span>. I was invited to have a\u00a0 Mexican Lunch<\/strong> set menu which is made by Chef Lamberto Valdez Lara<\/strong>, the culinary director of Keraton at The Plaza <\/strong>last Thursday<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> with other fellow food bloggers. <\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Starting March 20, 2014, Bengawan Restaurant<\/strong> presents the launch of Chef Lamberto\u2019s Modern Mexican Kitchen<\/strong>. You can find lots of Mexican<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong> a la carte menu that is available daily from 12pm to 3pm for lunch and 6pm to 10.30pm for dinner.\u00a0 Besides that, a three course Lunch set menu is also available for IDR 150.000 nett per person<\/strong>. For a nice five-star dining experience, I can say this is really a good offer for lunch.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Passion Star – Drink of the Month <\/strong><\/p>\n A very nice combination made of various fresh fruits such as starfruit<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>, passion fruit, marquise, orange juice and mint leave. Perfect for summer days!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Red Dragon Probiotic Smoothies, IDR 65K<\/strong><\/p>\n If you want something else with a mix of Yakult, this Red Dragon Probiotic Smoothie is<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> also a good choice. It is mixed with Black Cherry, too. Refreshing!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Welcome Tortilla Chips<\/strong><\/p>\n Who<\/span> does<\/span>n’t like<\/span> tortilla? This<\/span> corn<\/span> tortilla is given<\/span> as a welcome<\/span> snack<\/span> from Bengawan<\/strong> during lunch<\/span> for<\/span> Mexican Lunch<\/strong> set menu<\/span> on weekdays<\/span>. It<\/span> tastes<\/span> light<\/span> and<\/span> crunchy, best<\/span> eaten<\/span> with 3 kinds<\/span> of dipping sauce<\/span> that looks<\/span> like a Mexican<\/strong> flag<\/span>; Red salsa, Sour cream<\/span> and<\/span> Green salsa.<\/p>\n <\/a>From Express Mexican Lunch set menu, each of us can choose one menu from the starters, one menu from the main courses, and one menu of the desserts. So basically, drinks are not included in the set menu and you have to order it separately.<\/p>\n Sopa de Tortilla – starter<\/strong><\/p>\n I chose Sopa de Tortilla as the starter. This Mexican soup has a nice depth of flavor, a little bit spicy, rich and tasty! It came with chicken strips, big slices of avocados, pasilla<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> chili and topped with sour cream. Strips of crunchy fried tortillas are also added to the soup. Recommended!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Guacamole – starter<\/strong><\/p>\n When it comes to Mexican<\/strong> food, I always try the Guacamole. Guacamole is a traditional Mexican<\/strong> dip sauce, which made by mashing reap avocados and additional seasonings. What makes me so in love with this Guacamole is because it tastes so fresh, slightly lumpy and I still can find some big chunks of avocado in it. Must try!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/a><\/p>\n Avocado, Roasted<\/span> Corn Salad – starter<\/strong><\/p>\n If you want something light and healthy, fresh salad can be a good choice. This salad consists of big slices of avocados,\u00a0 roasted corn, cilantro pesto, butter lettuce, and vine ripe tomatoes.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Steak Grilled Quesadillas – main course<\/strong><\/p>\n A simple grilled Quesadilla<\/span> served with Mexican<\/strong> cheeses, roasted tomato, rajas, chipotle sauce, crema <\/span><\/span><\/span>agria<\/span><\/span>, and pico<\/span><\/span> de <\/span><\/span><\/span>gallo<\/span><\/span>. The cheese is melted inside and best eaten with the sour cream dip sauce. Simply love it! Recommended!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Lamb Birria Tacos- main course<\/strong><\/p>\n From the 4 selections of Tacos, I chose the Lamb Birria Tacos where they said it’s one of the favorite<\/span> tacos. The leg of lamb is slowly braised for 12 hours and served on crispy corn tortillas, Mexican<\/strong> rice and refried pinto beans. It also comes with lime, green and red salsa. Unfortunately, this wasn’t my favorite, because the corn tortillas taste<\/span> bitter in my mouth. I prefer the flour tortillas rather than this.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Hanger Steak Fajitas – main course<\/strong><\/p>\n Fajita is a Mexican<\/strong> way to eat grilled meat that is usually served as a taco on a flour or corn tortilla. Bengawan<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong> has 3 options for fajitas to choose; there are Chicken, Hanger Steak and Portobello Mushroom. I’ve tried the Hanger Steak version and I like it so much! A set of grilled Black Pepper Beef served with bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, guacamole, Mexican<\/strong> rice and flour tortillas. The best way to eat this fajita is by putting everything together on the tortilla, wrap it and eat it without using a spoon. It tastes unique and tasty as there is a little bit spicy from the beef, sweet from the bell peppers, tomatoes and guacamole, and slightly salty from the Mexican<\/strong> rice. Recommended!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/a><\/p>\n Cinnamon Sugar Churros – dessert<\/strong><\/p>\n I love Churros and this is one of the best churros<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> I’ve ever tasted<\/span>. These Churros are so good, served with 3 kinds of dipping sauce; Cajeta (goats milk) caramel, White chocolate sauce, and Chunky mango compote. Among 3 of them, my favorite one is the Goat Milk Caramel dipping sauce. I loved the crunchiness of this churros<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>. Delicious, warm and cinnamon sugary!<\/p>\n
