Chipotle: Gourmet Without Attitude

Cipotle, restoran cepat saji yang menyajikan Mexican Grill ini sebenarnya sudah menjamur di Amerika, tumben franchise-nya belum masuk ke Indonesia.  Padahal dari rasa, bisa diterima oleh lidah Indonesia.  Mungkin sebentar lagi mulai memeriahkan kulinair di tanah air.

Di daerah tandus seperti Austin, Texas, danau merupakan suatu kemewahan.  Tidak terkecuali Danau Austin.  Jadi restaurant di atas danau termasuk barang langka.  Salah satunya adalah Abel’s on the Lake.  Mengenai rasa sih tidak ada istimewanya.

Uchiko: Ten-Course Chef’s Daily Tasting Menu

Pingin tahu apa yang istimewa di restoran ini, kami sengaja tidak memilih sendiri makanan yang kami pesan.  Kami menyerahkannya kepada Christopher, waiter kami malam itu.  Chris menyarankan OMAKASE, 10 makanan pilihan chef.  Biasanya makanan ini dihidangkan untuk 2 orang.  Mendengar 10 macam makanan, rombongan kami yang terdiri 6 orang memutuskan untuk memesan 2 Omakase saja, nanti kalau kurang ditambah disana sini.  Ternyata pilihan Chris OK sekali.  Untuk informasi, 1 set Omakase harganya $ 184.

Mandola’s Italian Market

The first night in Austin, my son took us to this restaurant in Triangle area.  The place was fully packed, and there was a long queue in front of the cashier.  I almost gave up, but my son convinced me that the food was extraordinary.  Indeed it was.  I was glad that we stayed.
