Ninety Nine Restaurant - Grand Indonesia Jakarta

Located near to Ranch Market at Lower Ground of East Mall, this restaurant is quite easy to spot on. But if you still don't know where is it, it's alright because Grand Indonesia mall can be quite tricky to find a certain shop or restaurant especially on the lower ground area like around Nomz and Publik Markette .

To find this restaurant, go to the front of H&M or Pull&Bear or Central and look down, did you see lots of tables, chairs and sofas with lots of artificial trees around in the center of the lower ground ? Congrats, you found it !


With a lot of artificial trees around the restaurant, the restaurant scene looks like a restaurant in the middle of a park. This restaurant, to be honest, is a very good place to hangout, have a lunch or dinner or even just a drink and just chit-chatting.





Also there's a sofa for who, like i said, want to relax, chit-chatting, have some drinks.


There's also a bar inside the restaurant. 
They also got a great collection of alcohol drinks and wine. 


Scotch, whiskey, draft beer, martini, you name it, they got it.







Alright, let's check their food out !

French Fries

The most common appetizer and everyone's favorite, French Fries with mayonnaise sauce. Well, i got nothing to say about this, i'm sure everyone ever ate it.

Baked Chicken Breast

First thought, it looks kinda like sushi roll especially with the sauce and there's a filling inside the meat. The filling inside the meat is mashed potato and on top of the meat is bean sprouts, such a bizarre side dish for something like chicken breast in my opinion. Then there's also mushroom.
The flavor was good, the chicken was nice and the mashed potato inside mixed perfectly with the flavor from the chicken. The mushroom though, is not really good, it is somehow a little bit sour. Bean sprouts, well, i'd say it is not a good side dish for something like chicken breast.

Rate : 6.5/10


Pork Schnitzel


Pork Schnitzel

Pork Schnitzel, easy way to say, fried pork with bread crumbs. Served along with french fries again and green and red lettuce with vinegar. This dish is really good, i can really feel and taste the crumbs. It got a nice crust, crispy and juicy tender pork.

Rate : 8/10

Spaghetti Bolognaise

I had this thing that always order at least one pasta dish everytime i go to a restaurant that served pasta, whether it is for share or just for me. Spaghetti Bolognaise like usual bolognaise with minced beef, tomato ragout, and parmesan cheese, is one of my favorite sauce for pasta. But their sauce is really sour, don't know where the acidity came from but my guess is from the tomato. Not really satisfied with this dish and not a really good dish.

Rate : 5/10

Nasi Pecal

Traditional Indonesian food in this kind of restaurant always gives me such a curiosity to try them out. I mean, i want to know, how better can they make it comparing to the traditional one, or what makes them more expensive, but obviously the answer is this restaurant located at the mall, so it is only natural that they are more expensive :D. 
Surprisingly, this dish is better than the spaghetti that i ordered. The pecal is served with steamed rice, prawn crackers, egg, and beef. The pecal sauce itself is really good, not too runny and a bit spicy.

Rate : 7.5/10

Iced Mandarin, Iced Lime, Pink Lychee Iced Tea

Exhausted from shopping and to cool it down from a lot of food, fresh fruit iced tea is the solution. 
Iced Mandarin consist mandarin orange, mint, and passion fruit syrup. 
Iced Lime is well, lime.
Pink Lychee Iced Tea is a recommendation from the waiter consist lychee and grape syrup.
All is a really fresh beverages.
