Potato Head, Pacific Place

Food taken from Jakarta Globe

I promised N that i would bring her to Pot Head, my all time favourite chichi restaurant. The decor is uber cool, laid back and stylish and yet the food is really up to standard. There hasnt been anything that has disappointed me yet, well except the salmon dish that N ordered that was kinda fishy.

I was surprised how packed it was for a Thursday night, especially with all the working expats lounging around. Another surprising thing was the age group of the crowd, it had quite a huge number of people over 35 years old. Surprising for such a place that i would think targets the 25-35 crowd.

Usually i go during lunch so the menu is slightly different with more items towards the side of breakfast. This time, i ordered something pretty un-dinner-ish, wagyu burger with sweet potato fries. They asked whether i wanted any toppings and decided to go with the cheese. I was slightly disappointed when the cheese came out, it was the Kraft-type processed cheese. It was also slightly weird when the salad came with slices of chilli. I requested to change the salad and the next one was drowned in balsamic vinegar...

The wagyu burger and the sweet potato fries were pretty good. However, even though i did order the wagyu burger, i find it such a waste that such a fine piece of meat with superior fat marbling is minced into a patty. Although i thought the burger was good, i felt that, considering how much fat content it should have, i found the wagyu burger under-performed, but still good for a burger.

The real star of the meal was definitely the sweet potato fries, if you have a chance, just order it by itself, its that good!

Oh, one thing, never order orange juice, its terrible, i cant believe they dare charge that amount for that OJ.

And oh ya, the salmon that N ordered, sauce was good, but salmon not all that fresh.
