Ria Indonesian Bistro - Grand City

Indonesian Restaurant With a Nice Ambiance

Tahu Telur - Rp 28.000

Kesempatan kali ini saya mencoba mencicipi resto Ria Indonesian Bistro di Grand City, kebetulan mendapat voucher potongan harga dari kompetisi foto tempo hari. Lokasi restonya di lantai atas, berdekatan dengan bioskop 21.

On this lunch occasion we went to Ria Indonesian Bistro in Grand City, as it happen I got a discount voucher from a photo competition the other day. The venue is located in the top floor of the mall, nearby the cinema.

Krupuk - Indonesian Crackers

Complimentary Snack - Ria Galeria

Tempatnya cukup nyaman dengan dekorasi tradisional yang kental nuansa jawa. Biasanya di resto serupa sering cahayanya minim banget, untuk di sini pencahayaannya ok (salah satu hal yang remeh tapi sangat penting buat yang doyan foto makanan)

The place is quite nice, with an ethnic Java ambiance, which lighting are usually a tad to dark for my liking. Fortunately here it's adequately lit, which seems trivial but quite important for some of us who like photographing food :)

Tahu Tek - Rp 28.000

Menu Tahu Tek dan Tahu Telur di sini hampir sama dari segi rasa dan penyajian, bedanya sepertinya di keberadaan telur saja. Rasanya cukup enak, walau masih terlalu hambar kalau untuk selera saya, terutama dibandingkan dengan hidangan serupa di kaki lima

This Tofu dish is Surabaya favorite dish , it's quite similar in terms of taste and plating with the other tofu dish above, egg tofu / tahu telur. It's quite nice, though a bit to bland for my liking. The ones we usually had in street food stall are spicier, which suitable for us.

Gurami Asam Manis - Rp 63.000

I like the carp dish served here, lightly breaded than deep fried then a sweet & sour sauce is doused on top. Upon tasting, the fish tastes nice, no fishy smell, fried to perfection and not too oily.

Menu Gurami asam manisnya menarik, digoreng dengan menggunakan sedikit tepung dan diberi saus asam manis. Saat dicoba, rasanya cukup enak, tidak amis maupun bau tanah, digoreng dengan tepat dan tidak berminyak.

Rasa makanan di Ria Galeria ini seperti apa yang biasa didapat di resto Indonesia yang mewah, tampilannya cukup menarik, tapi tidak ada rasa yang sangat menarik hingga membuat ingin sering kembali.

Foods served here are quite typical of upscale Indonesian eatery, it's quite refined, though I don't find anything particularly good or memorable, it's still one of a good choice if you want to have an Indonesian food in a mall.
