Marugame Udon @Paragon Mall, Semarang

I love Japanese foods :D, so when I knew that there's a new Japanese restaurant (in this case is an udon & tempura restaurant) opened in Semarang I got excited and I decided to go there to have a taste of their foods.

When I arrived, it was around 1 pm, so it was crowded with people who wants to eat lunch, but I decided to just queue along. And yeah, after 10 or 15 minutes I arrived at the 'Order' counter.  

This is what I ordered. Ontama Udon and various tempura. So, Ontama udon is the udon itself with 'bukake dashi' broth, egg, leeks, and the tempura's crumbles. I really love this udon, the texture of the noodles were perfect and the broth was very delicious, not too salty and light in flavor. When you mix the egg with the broth it will make the taste even better. 

Next is the tempura, personally I like the ebi tempura and the egg tempura. For the ebi tempura, the composition of the flour and the shrimp was good, I can still taste the shrimp. The reason why I love the egg tempura was because it was cooked perfectly, it was still half-cooked in the middle. The croquette and kakiage was good, but i preferred the ebi tempura and the egg tempura :D

Ontama Udon (Rp 40,000)

Various Tempura

Ebi Tempura (Rp 15,000 / pc)

Beef Croquette (Rp 12,000 / pc)

Kakiage (Rp 11,000 / pc)

Egg Tempura (Rp 9,000 / pc)

So, for me this is the best udon restaurant in Semarang, yet. The price for me is still okay. I'd love to come back again and try other menus in the future.

That's all that I can share to you, thank you for coming and reading my blog :D

Carnivor Sky Bar & Grill Semarang

The restaurant is located at Grand Edge, SL Floor, Jl Sultan Agung 96, Semarang, Jawa Tengah and it opens from 5 pm until 1 am. Because of its location (at the top of the hotel) you will be able to see Semarang from above, so you can eat your food while enjoying the scenery around you :D

Now let's look at the menu. For appetizers they have Crispy Nachos, Quesadillas, Calamary Fritter, etc. For main course they offered us with a lot of options, starting from Risotto, Fish & Chips, varieties of pasta, pizza, burger, and also steak. They also have 4 choices of dessert to complete your meal. For 'Beverages' category, they have it on different sheet (I forgot to take picture of it). One hing that I noticed from their menu is that it was a 'soft opening menu' so i expect there will be some changes when they  use their 'real' menu.

(Sorry it's blur)

So, I ordered a 200gr Sirloin Steak (medium) with mushroom sauce + ice tea and my sister ordered Risotto Chicken Mushroom + lemon tea. I personally like the texture of the meat, it was juicy but for the taste i think it will be better if they give more salt. For the side dish and the mushroom sauce, they were all good, no complaint. And yeah, they gave me a medium steak, just like what I ordered.

I also taste my sister's risotto. It was great, creamy, rich in flavor, not too salty, and the herbs were there to increase the fragrance.

Sirloin Steak (Rp 175,000)

Risotto Chicken Mushroom (Rp 45,000)

To sum it all up, it's a great place to have dinner with your friends and families or maybe to have birthday celebrations or other things. With good foods and beautiful scenery i'm sure you will have a good time in this place.

That's all that I can share to you, thank you for coming and reading my blog :D
