Hello, friends especially foodies!

Recently i went to Puncak area - West Java with my family. There we spent our time together and had lunch in one of the best place to dine in there, the restaurant's name was Pandan Bistro.

Located in Kampoeng Brasco Factory Outlet, this restaurant placed at the 5th and 6th floor. No wonder it said that you could feel the mountain breeze experience there.

Inside the restaurant, they had artificial plants on some of their ceiling. They had wooden ceiling, combination of batik floor and wooden floor. For the chairs, they had European style soft dining chairs. They had many windows there and they opened them so you could feel the fresh mountain air.

And from the window you could see the mountain view.

Actually this restaurant also had the top dining area which only opened on weekends. The area had some sofas.

They also had LOVE sign and the red phone box as the photo spot,

plus the pandan bistro sign outside. We couldn't go there because it was a bit rainy and it would be slippery there.

The beverage came first, what we had were my favorite chamomile tea. It came with small teapot for each person.

Served hot, like usually, it had taste and aroma which authentically chamomile. It was aromatic, relaxing and comforting. It helped reduce stress and anxiety. Such a healing with the mountain breeze there.

Then the food that we ordered came one by one. But it didn't take a long time for the time in between. Here were our messy table that day and now let me tell you one by one about the food we had, included the taste and flavour.

First we had the side dish, fan tofu.

Didn't same with the name, it had square shape.

Inside the tofu, it had kind of vegetables such as carrot, bean sprouts, leaks, and also chicken. It had 4 pieces for a portion. It had tasty savory flavour with crunchy soft texture of the tofu skin.

Next, we had their pesmol gourami.

Not fishy at all, the gourami tasted so good. It riched with authentic spices with small portion of the sauce. The taste of it was savory and a bit spicy. This was one of the best pesmol gourami we've ever had.

Next, we had their oxtail soup.

It had savory flavour. Eventhough the oxtails were soft but somehow they were too beefy. The soup also contained sliced carrot and it also served with fried belinjo chips.

We also had their roasted rib.

The roasted ribs came with the soup too. The roasted ribs were soft, had tasty savory flavour. It served with tasty beef broth soup with same sliced carrot in it too.

Plus we still had their garlic stirred water spinach.

The stirred water spinach tasted so good in savory and a bit spicy flavour. No wonder, it also had tomato and sliced chili in it too.

Overall, the menu that this restaurant offered were all great and of course we would come again there.
