Even though it's just recently established in this year, Downtown Bistro has successfully placed itself comfortably as one of my favorite spots to hangout. The classy jazzy design is intended to bring you nostalgic settings of America back in the 1950's. Well, I have always been a fan to everything vintage, no wonder I fell in love with it in an instant..
It was a Saturday. Thanks to Big Bang and David Guetta concerts, the place was not that packed as it would be on a usual Saturday night. I was with my 3 crazy high school friends and I was in the effort to catch up on the latest news with them. Oh how can I be more grateful that this place has naturally risen up their projection of having an intimate atmosphere. It was so cozy that we stayed there the whole night until we decided that it's quite late and we should go home. Not once, we thought of changing to some other place(which is what we usually do)
Starting with the menu and the place
 |
| Vintage projection |
 |
| This is the indoor part of the restaurant. I personally think it's semi outdoor. See the right side of the picture, the glass doors were all opened so basically, we can still feel the outside night breeze |
 |
| The handsome gentlemen of the night |
 |
| This is the outdoor area. Surprisingly, NO MOSQUITOES were biting me that night.. It was a miracle |
 |
| Thai Green Tea (22k) |
 |
| Iced Peach Tea (22k) |
 |
| My second drink of that night : Signature Chocolate (29k). YUMMY. They didn't put the sugar directly in your drink so you, yourself can manage the level of sweetness. The chocolaty coco was pungent in the most perfect way my taste buds can taste.. |
 |
| Buffalo Chicken Wing (49k for 6pcs). The BBQ sauce was a bit spicy and it was not as sweet as the usual BBQ sauce would be. SUPER LOVE. They also gave a bowl of cream cheese sauce which I used for dipping the veggies |
 |
| Glazed Salmon (89k). Two of us ordered this dish. It was simply yummy. The fish was glazed with soy balsamic and that explained why it looked quite dark (not burnt). Served with mashed potato and veggies with orange sauce. The level of fishiness was not that bad. I still think it's pretty yummy |
 |
| Indian Buttered Chicken (57k). Served with rice pilaf and grilled veggies. I have always loved Indian food and the more "smelly" it gets, the more I will fall in love with it. The buttered chicken was perfectly seasoned and spiced, cooked with coriander and tomato. The rice itself was freshly cooked and it's definitely different from our daily Indonesian rice |
 |
| Roast Beef Brisket (82k). OH.. MY..THIS.. BEEF.. IS.. THE.. LOVE.. OF.. MY.. LIFE.. Okay, maybe I'm just being hyperbolic but YES, it was so delicious! The brisket was perfectly infused with the sweet savory sauce. Every piece of the beef that I put inside my mouth was like a firework. It has the perfect amount of fats and none of it were left uneaten by me *blush* |
1. I fell in love with the Downtown Bistro (the whole element of that place, starting from the place, the food, the service). It's a two thumbs up, especially for a new place where mishaps usually occur all the time.
2. The prices are reasonable and logical.
3. I would definitely go back there again because I would try out other courses. They have breakfast and lunch menu as well.. And I am such a huge breakfast junkie..
4. It's intimate enough for my standard, looking at the condition of the place that time was not too packed when I visited it.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR ALL OF YOU WHO ARE LOOKING FOR A NICE COZY PLACE TO CHILL OR MAYBE JUST TO KICK OFF A DRINK OR TWO AFTER A LONG HARD DAY OF WORK. This is the place to be..
