I read about this new restaurant about a month ago but just got time to visit it yesterday, Plate For Me.

It wows me when I first went in. Just look at those plates with random pictures on all over the wall! There's a drum filled with wine bottles, and the lamp in the corner is cool! It was made of a totem cups. The interior is awesome. I even like the ceiling, hahaa.. I know that some of the decorations are actually quite simple, but here in Bandung, you will not see this kind of decors everyday. That's why I'm very happy when I find some.. (^▼^)

A few minutes later..
I went to the toilet and glad to have the same theme inside, they also put plates on the entire wall. But a minute later I found out that the pictures on the plates are stickers. Well I'm not saying that was not good, I get it, have a print on a plate is a lot more expensive, but the thing is, I really believed that those plates are printed, so I was a little bit disappointed, just a little..

Until the foods and drinks came.. That was the time when I got more disappointed. I got a few points here..
Sats ordered a Fettuccine Alfredo. First of all, all of us are agree that the fettuccine was overcooked. And another thing that bothered me were the peas. I never had fettuccine alfredo with peas. Broccoli maybe works, but peas? I don't really thing so..

Here is my fave, Spaghetti Aglio E Olio. Amen ordered it, and the spaghetti was just a little bit undercooked. What's up with the chef?? However, overall this dish taste good. :)

I got myself a Caesar Salad, but it looks like the kitchen is running out of ingredients. I mean, where is the egg, and the chicken, or the smoked beef?? I only got some slices of fresh lettuce, onion, and tomato, with a pinch of parmesan and some sliced toasted bread and the dressing.

And let's wrap the last ones quickly..
I didn't really like the Manggo Combo (or Manggo-something, I forgot its name), they put too much water so it taste flavorless. The Iced Mojito was also flavorless. Well, I kinda taste the lemon (since a huge part of it was flying in my glass), and the soda, but not the mint! And oh please, why did you guys used a damaged mint? It has brown spots on the mint leaves! (--___--)
The Bruschetta were really not good at all. The baguette sliced too thick, the pepperoni stinks, fatty minced beef, I'm so sorry but those 3 bruschetta were the worst dish on that night..

No offense, but this is just what is happening throughout yesterday night. And for the record, that was the first time that my request got rejected in a restaurant. I was asking if the spaghetti aglio e olio could be replaced by fettuccine aglio e olio. I thought it was a simple one. But if that was the chef's provision, I could only bear.

So, after that night, I have to deal with my need-to-be-pleasure eyes, nose and stomach. Now looking for some nice food for this weekend.. I think me and Sats are going out with the girls again next Sunday, we'll see.. Have a nice weekend everyone! (^.^)

Bye bye now Semarang, can't wait to see you again..

Me and Sats are busy with this and that lately. We're going to spend our time together with our wedding prep this weekend.. gooossshhh!! The day is getting closer and we have so many things to be done. I never thought that getting married would be this stressful, hahaaa.. But not stress in a bad way, just a little bit tired of preparing and getting everything done on time. But it's pretty fun, heheee.. :P

Anyway, we went to this restaurant with not only one, or two, or three, but four type of foods on their menu, Sanade. You can find some Japanese foods like ramen, Italian pasta, Indonesian foods like Iga Sambal Ijo, and also some Western dessert like pancake and waffle.


As usual, at first visit, me and Sats would always try a simple dish. We tried their Cappuccino and Caramel Machiato. Finally got a hot coffee with latte art on the top of it, yay! XD


Hasto came and join us, he ordered Mojito Ice Tea, which is so good that he ordered another one a moment later, hahaaa.. No really, I do like the taste of it, love the smell of the mint leaves, so refreshing..!! :D


But there's two little things that bothered us. We had Aglio Olio Fettuccine that night. Too bad the fettuccine was a little bit undercooked. :(  They should leave it for a half more minute before took them out of the pan. At least they should have tried it before they served it. Another problem is the spices. I know that Aglio Olio (sometimes they add "e Peperoncino" on the back of the name because they also use pepper on the dish) is supposed to be a little bit hot, but not that hot! It's more like fettuccine with a very hot sambal (Indonesian language for chili sauce), too hot that I couldn't eat it up.


I'm thinking of going back there and give another try for the pasta and other dish too. I missed the dessert since we had a diner before we went there. They have a kind-of-chocolate-lava cake, I forgot the name but it did looks delicious on the menu, heheee..
