While sounded a little corny, the description they put out in their website reveals more that it meets the eyes. Mango is the very ingredient that shaped their curry. It resulted in a proportionate mixture of sweet and savory that's more suitable to the Indonesian tongue, as compared to its spicier counterpart, Indian curry.
As I recall there's only several foodplaces to go to in Jakarta. While my favorite is still my hometown Bagan Siapi-api pork curry, Mr. Curry is definitely one of the select few to consider. As another establishment under Ismaya Group you can expect a good combination of strong concept, creative execution and continuous innovation. I discover these on my last visit to Mr Curry at their newly opened joint in Pondok Indah Mall 2.
To cut the story short, let's have dinner shall we?
Korokoro Tofu - Crunchy exterior, soft interior. Perfectly enjoyed with chilli dip. |
Korokoro Tofu was the first meal summoned to jumpstart my appetite. It did just right with the bite size diced tofu. Crunchy
exterior meets soft interior. Dip it in the chili sauce that accompanies it for an extra kick.
For the mains I had Chicken Katsu Curry, Curry Ramen, Assorted Mushroom Omurice, and Spaghetti Curry. Among them all my favorite was the Omurice and Curry Ramen.
Chicken Katsu Curry - Your typical katsu with Mr. Curry Original Sauce |
Assorted Mushroom Omurice - Go for Tomato rice instead of Butter rice. |
My second favorite is the curry ramen which I personally consider as the most promising meal in the menu. Why? Cause you see in the photo a crowd of toppings but when it arrived, it was nothing more than a pair of egg cut in half and a slice of salmon. Disappointing knowing that its a small improvement that Mr. Curry can bear I guess. On a side note, I loved the idea of having a ultra thick curry broth on a ramen which I rarely find anywhere else.
Ramen Curry - Especially attracted by the thick soup. More toppings please? |
Manggo Smoothie - Sweet, fruity, lovely thick juice. Like! |
Berry Lassi - For those who fond of soury taste. |
Matcha Caramba - A must try! |
There's something different about Macha Caramba. Its green tea ice cream connects very well with the toasted bread. And the interesting part is that all sides of the cubical toast gets toasted equally. Word from the kitchen is they brought a specific oven from Japan just to get it perfectly toasted. Give it a try and then you'll know what I meant.
Along with the Omurice, this is another menu I'd surely crave for from Mr. Curry. Plus it's definitely worth the price tag.
All in all it was a belly satisfying night. Many thanks to Mila and Grace from Ismaya who made the night enjoyable despite of the long two hours traffic just to get to the place. It was all worth it I guess.
Until the next tasting, so long Biters.

Nyan nyan...I wanna go, but didn't get invited!! >,<" Haha, just joking...
ReplyDeleteThe ramen looks quite appetizing, the ramen is thin and I bet with Mr. Curry's standard, the thick curry gravy is awesome? =)
No pork curry ya? Too bad...Haha..
ReplyDelete@ELLYNA: Truthfully, it was way too salty. But they corrected it. Mistake from the kitchen. So I'm still commentless on the curry taste. As for the texture I liked it.
ReplyDelete@NIYAOKE: Halallll cuiii
You should aslo try the espresso sundae -my personal favorite. Can't say much about the other menu there as I think the taste is mediocre and doesn't really live up to the price tag. But yes, very good concept.
