Soeryo Cafe - Pasaraya Grande Blok M

Ambience :
This is not my first time dining here, but this is my first review here.
This cafe is located on the third floor of Pasaraya Grande, one of the most prominent department store in Jakarta
The place is cozy, with big sofas and interior dominated by black.
There is a grand piano on the corner and usually there's live music but on my last visit, no music.

On the menu :
I think this cafe doesn't have a specialty, they simply put anything popular.
They have steaks, cordon bleu etc-etc for western cuisine
Then they also have nasi goreng, sup buntut etc etc representing indonesian favourite
And they also come up with japanese like tempura udon.
Consequently, all the food served here is just mediocre.

Momot tried :
Tempura Udon
Boiled Udon was served separately from the broth, which was not hot at all
Tempura is actually tiny shrimp in thick flour blanket, onion rings and fried eggplant
I think this is their worst menu and they just murdered the recipe by serving it that way
No ground chili, perfect murder!
Rate for Tempura Udon : 3 out of 10

Cream Mushroom Soup
Creamy soup is served within a bun
Taste so, so, creamy enough but without mushroomy fragrance
I think Oh La La's soup is much much better
Rate for Cream Mushroom soup : 6 out of 10

Honestly, the only good thing that I tried here is their garlic-sauteed vegetable that came out with the steak, and the mushroom sauce
But I can't help thinking that the food were pre-cooked, cause they don't taste fresh.
If you happen to go to Grande and get hungry, better go straight to their basement and have cheap fastfood.

Overall rate : 6 of 10
