Last week I got a chance to back to my favourite Italian
restaurant, Scusa at Intercontinental Jakarta MidPlaza. I was invited for a
dinner enjoying Scusa’s signature dishes which of course satiate my appetite.
One thing I miss from Scusa are their warm ambience (even though it’s very very
hard to take a photo in a very dark ambience, but yeah the show must go on
hihi) and their Walnut Bread with Feta Cheese. It’s not even an opening snack
for me, it’s something that I’m addicted to (I wish I could get it somewhere in
a bread shop hahaha). And oh also their very very kind and helpful waiters who
always serve the customers with heart. I really appreciate a hotel with such a
great hospitality like this.
Well, enough about the opening, now let’s do the food
yakking! Sure you won’t miss this part. The dinner consists of five degustation
menu including appetizer, main course and dessert.
Starter
Buffalo Mozzarella,
tomatoes, rocket leaves and blackpepper.
This starter also served with a very thin slice of bread
that come in crispy texture and covered with balsamic dressing. The texture of
buffalo mozzarella was very soft and pluffy like a boiled egg with a savoury
taste. All of the vegetables were a great company for the cheese. It all
perfect as a starter!
Soup
Scusa signature
potato and wild mushroom soup with truffle
Everything just went
perfectly blend on this soup, but I prefer a thicker soup, maybe Scusa missed
this one.
Pasta
Cappellini con astice
Homemade angel hair
pasta with Sulawesi lobster, fresh chilli, tomato,
extra virgin oil and chopped
parsley.
The main highlight of
this dish of course the lobster. Fresh and half grilled Sulawesi lobster with
rich tomato and chili flavour which all blend with the angel hair super thin
texture. Simply love it!
Meat
Scusa signature
spit-roasted chicken
Marinated with
Italian herbs, garlic, balsamic vinegar and grain mustard, green asparagus
and
mashed potatoes
I love love looove Scusa’s
spit-roasted chicken. Never had such a perfect and juicy roasted chicken
before. I even could smell and taste the strong Italian herbs on the deeper
part of the meat.
Dessert
Tiramisu
From all those
delicious feasts on tonight’s dinner this one is da BOMB! This is the best
Tiramisu I’ve ever had! Sooooo good! Soooo fluffy, moist and rich of chocolate
but not too sweet! Perfect closing!
Thanks so much for
inviting me to this great dinner Scusa @InterConJakarta. Will always miss every
single thing of your resto!
