ROA by Jovian..Manadonese Cuisine

It's Monday and its my day off..yeayy...Always wanted to try this place..
Hurrmm masalahnya cuti tak sama dgn orang..
What to do...only thing to do is to kidnap my good friend Kathy during lunch hour..heheeh
Office dia pun dekat je dgn Bangsar..

Roa by Jovian Mandagie.. Ada 2 location kedai ni.. the first is in Shah Alam which I think is bigger and ada live band on weekends.. but since tak kuasa nak ke Shah Alam tu..next best thing is their second outlet kat Bangsar..Jalan Telawi area..

First2 masuk je dah impress dengan deco dia..wow..memang nampak sangat Jovian ni detail orang nya..
Boleh nampak his attention to detail in fine little things.

Ok, about the food here.. masakan Manado..never had one before..selalunya restaurant  Indonesian kat sini either masakan padang or ayam penyet.

So here it's something new for me..

Manadonese Vocab.. Learn while you eat

Gorgeous Interior

Even the menu presentation is awesome

Alas meja dia pun menarik..ada Manadonese Vocab

Actually I datang sini twice..first time with Hubby, second dengan Kathy..hehehe that's why ada byk lauk..giler nak mkn byk2 ni 2 org je..

Marlin Woku

Ayam Tuturuga

Sapi Rica-Rica

Terung Saos Telur

Cumi Woku Belanga

Ayam Isi Buluh

Best dessert - Blueberry Nutella Cheese Cake..korang wajib try ni!!

My verdict - main dishes here tak lain tak bukan is nasi and lauk2..sesuai dengan tekak orang Melayu..:)
if you guys love hot and spicy food, this place is a must try..Boleh kata majoriti meals dia pedas2.. I like..

In my opinion, Mandonese food ni takdela beza sangat dengan Indonesian food lain even lebih kurang macam lauk2 orang Melayu pun ada..iyela kata serumpun kan..any beza sikit here and there.

Price wise, tengok tempat pun dah boleh bajet harga :).. One dish dlm RM12-RM15 camtu..tapi sedap and berbaloi..Dessert dia pun nampak semua sedap2..traditional Manadonese dessert pun ada tapi tak try sebab Nutella Cheesecake tu lagi nampak mengancam..hehehe
Memang terbaik..coming from somebody yang tak suka manis2 ni..the sweetness is just nice and yang penting tak memuakkan.. Two thumbs up!!!

My only complaints is the lauk2. Semua lauk2 dah di masak siap2..ala2 macam kita pergi makan kat kedai nasi campur la..hmmm..bayar mahal2 takkan tak dapat freshly cooked food kot..ok katala nak masak lauk org Manado ni lama and payah..at least reheat la lauk2 tu when serving it..barula tambah selera makan panas2..Even if you search the net..memang ramai dah complain about this..well Jovian if you are reading this please take action..reheating bukan susah sangat pun, masuk dalam microwave seminit dua dah siap..
