It's been 4 months since the last time I did a review. Please forgive my absence, since recently I have been so busy with my final research. So today finally I 'force' myself to write, and realize how I miss writing so much. Hahaha.
Right now I am gonna do a review about a cute and girly restaurant located in Paris van Java, Bandung. This French - Italian restaurant was first opened in Jakarta and now they have a lot of branches, both in Jakarta and Bandung. Unfortunately, they dont mention their position in PVJ so I had to do a little research to find its location which is right besides Duck King. My first impression when I came to their place was, "wow it's so girly and cute!" (as you can see in the photo below).
Then I started to read the pinky book menu. They have many choices of food and drinks and all of them look so great. They have many selections of appetizers, all-day breakfast, pasta, steak, rice pizza, and even risotto. For the desserts they have honey toast (which is enough for 4 ersons) and mille-feuile, They also have many choices of drink, from tea, fresh juices, yoghurt, and many other.
Finally, here are what we ordered :
BQ Steak - Organic Baby Chicken (Half)
When I read the menu, I was interested in how they serve the mashed potato. It said the mashed potato is wrapped with something which I forgot (hehe). When this dish came to me and I tastes it, I knew I made the right choice. The salad was fresh, the mushroom sauce was tasty. The mashed potato was nice and not too creamy and it was really wrapped with kind of pastry dough. The star of the dish was the chicken. At first I thought they only give us one slice of chicken fillet, but when the dish came, it was two-slice-of-tasty baby chicken. It was soft and rich of flavours, really really mouthwatering. I don't think we need to eat the chicken with the sauce, either. The chicken skin was also nice (I don't really like chicken skin, so when I eat them, it must be really delicious). When you visit BQ, you should consider buying this! Nyaam :9

Herbes et Spices - Poultry
The menu said, it was butter rice stacked with mushroom, vegetables, and meats served with special sauce. My bf chose the same meat like me, baby chicken so it had the same taste as I mentioned earlier. The rice was okay but he didn't like the creamy sauce and the pesto.

Kiwi Juice
The juice was from real fruit so it is really refreshing. Moreover, it didn't taste sour at all even it was made without sugar. Worth to try :)

| IDR 28.000 |
Honey Lemonade
You can choose between ice or hot honey lemonade. Personally, I don't really like this drink because it taste like medicine. It was sweet and a little bit sour, but I hardly can taste the lemon.

Le Grande Millefeuille - Strawberry
 |
| IDR 40.000 |
There is always a room for dessert! I was so full already, but I was still tempted to try the dessert. So I ordered this millefeuile without knowing what it is. When the dessert came, it was much bigger than I expected. The first thing I tried was the strawberry ice cream. It was so yummy! Well, actually it was like the usual strawberry ice cream but I still love it (and so did my bf)! From what I google, mille-feuile is a three-layer of puff pastry with cream between. The pastry was crunchy and the cream was not too sweet. It was also served with sour strawberry jam to neutralize the sweetness from the cream. Hmm, I think I will try another French dessert the next time I come back here.
Overall, this-quite-new restaurant has a good variety of food and drinks. Although it is a little bit pricey, I think it is still worth to try. Btw, they gave 30% discounts for food loh!
Unfortunately, I think they should improve the service because when I came, there were not too many people eating but it took about 30 minutes until the dishes were served.
