Playground - Plaza Indonesia Jakarta

I've been hearing about this new restaurant that opens in Plaza Indonesia for sometimes, but only recently I had the opportunity to visit and taste the foods there. The restaurant is located on the corner of Plaza Indonesia extension 4th just opposite Ootoya. The atmosphere of the restaurant is certainly very unique, with very dim lights and as the name suggests, there are hanging chairs that look just like swings and rolling chairs. But other than those, it looks just like another restaurants.

 My order was Red Cheddar Dory, which was pan-fried dory served with cheddar cream sauce, spinach and baked potatoes. The presentation was really nice, as you can see, but the fish was not as crispy on the outside and soft on the inside as I thought. In fact, I think the meat was a bit too soggy and too thin. However, the yummy golden sauce saved the day. It was creamy, but not overly thick and the taste complemented the fish quite well. It was so good I didn't leave any drop of sauce on the plate ;p

My friends ordered Katsutti and Autopsy Burger, which I think is one of their signature dishes. I heard many people recommended Katsutti, which basically is spaghetti covered with generous slices of tonkatsu and eggs. It was indeed good as my friend testified, so next time maybe I'll try that dish.

 While Autopsy Burger was quite an impressive dish on the appearance, standing tall around 20-30 cm high. Basically it was a burger with its various fillings stacked up together, among others, beef patty, onion rings, cream mushroom croquette, served with french fries, potato wedges and chips. While impressive on the appearance, the taste was quite mediocre and I guess you would have a better bet having normal burgers atBK or Fatburgers, and not to mention much cheaper too!
