Bakerzin Galaxy Mall

Bakerzin - Galaxy Mall Surabaya

Awal tahun 2013 ini, Bakerzin kembali membuka satu gerai baru di Galaxy Mall. Tempatnya menggantikan salah satu gerai dessert yang juga cukup populer pada jamannya, Gelato.
Sayang juga Gelato tutup, padahal kualitas rasa dan harganya cukup menarik, juga rutin ada promo menggunakan kartu kredit.

Early 2013, Bakerzin opens up a new store in Galaxy Mall, replacing the equally popular dessert cafe, Gelato. Too bad Gelato had to close, it's has a decent quality ice cream / gelato, with reasonable price, even though the food ain't that great, the ice cream on the other hand was exceptionally nice.

Bakerzin - Cappucino

Rasa kopinya cukup ok, standard nya setara dengan kafe lain yang spesialis kopi seperti starbucks, excelso maupun coffee bean. Kadang kala sebagian kafe begini malah kacau rasa kopinya, yang biasanya akibat dari biji digiling lalu dibiarkan terlalu lama, penggilingan tidak sesuai dengan cara seduh kopi, atau hal lain yang membuat aroma dan rasa kopi tidak menarik. Di Bakerzin ini walaupun baru bulan pertama buka, kopinya cukup ok.

The coffee tastes fine, though it's their first month opening, the quality of their coffee is on par with cafes that specialized in coffee drinks, such as starbucks, excelso and coffee bean & tea leaves. Sometime similar cafes could really mess up on their coffee making, either using stale bean that's left too long after grinded, or due to grinding with coarseness unsuitable for the coffee making method. which would kill the aroma and body of the coffee. Here they manage to make a decent tasting coffee early on.

Bakerzin - Ice Cream

Bakerzin - Corn Soup

Sup Jagungnya cukup unik, kalau biasanya pendamping sup ada potongan baguette yang tipis, di sini malah diberi semacam roti puff pastry yang menggembung besar, dan tidak muat di piringnya. Rasanya cukup ok

The Corn soup is quite strange, instead of the usual baguette thinly sliced, you get a big puff pastry like bread, that almost couldn't fit the small plate. Tastewise it's quite nice.

Siang itu kita mencoba menu paket makan siang, ada dua paket, yang satu berisi pilihan main menu Tuna Pasta, Dorry Fillet Pasta, atau Linguini Cream Mushrrom, dipaket dengan ice cream dan minuman teh atau kopi seharga Rp 80.000
Paket lainnya adalah main menu Steak Sandwich, Kare Ayam, dipaket dengan pilihan soup dan menu minuman kopi / teh, sekitar Rp 100.000

For this visit, we tried their lunch package menus. There are two variants of package, with one including pastas, ice cream and a choice of tea or coffee for drinks, which they offer at Rp 80.000
Another set menu have a choice of Steak Sandwich and Chicken Curry main menu, along with choices of soup and coffee or tea for drinks, which costs about Rp 100.000

Bakerzin Tuna Pasta

Dari ketiga main menu yang dipesan, Tuna Pastanya yang memang paket lebih murah, adalah yang paling tidak menarik. Rasanya biasa saja, agak aneh melihat lombok utuh dimasak dengan pasta italia. Paduan rasanya tidak cocok, serasa mie dukduk didandani ala itali.

From the three menu we ordered, the Tuna Pasta is the least appealing. Tastes plain, not particularly delicious, and it's quite strange to see a whole bird eye chilli being cooked with an italian pasta. It just tastes and looks wrong.

Bakerzin Steak Sandwich

Steak Sandwich ini tampilannya memang enak, dan cukup menggoda, tapi rasa aslinya aduhai parah.
Dagingnya keras luar biasa, ditambah lagi rasa keju dan steaknya agak tabrakan. Yang paling parah sih di kelunakan dagingnya, berhubung kerasnya seperti empal ditinggal nginap satu hari, sempat harus jibaku memotongi kecil-kecil dan dipisah dari rotinya supaya bisa dikonsumsi. Lebih baik pesan yang versi standardnya, menggunakan daging ayam, seperti yang ada di post ini : http://www.foodgrapher.com/2013/02/bakerzin-tunjungan-plasa.html

This Steak sandwich looks good, but don't let it appearance fools you. This is one super though meat on a bun, and tastes kinda boring. Cheese and overcooked tough beef doesn't go well together.
You'd be better off ordering the original version with chicken, such as one I photoed here : http://www.foodgrapher.com/2013/02/bakerzin-tunjungan-plasa.html

Bakerzin - Kare Ayam

Kare Ayam ini malah yang paling enak dibanding semua menu lainnya. Walau demikian, untuk harganya tidak terlalu ada sesuatu yang spesial. Saya bisa mendapatkan menu yang sama dengan harga separuhnya di beberapa gerai lain.

Walau paket menu makan siangnya cukup terjangkau (untuk standard harga Bakerzin), rasa dari menu yang ditawarkan tidak semenarik menu lain, jauh lebih enak menu yang saya pesan sebelumnya di Bakerzin Tunjungan Plasa.

The Chicken curry is the best of the worst for this lunch. Though it tastes fine, for the price, it didn't have anything special. I could've had something similar in other eatery for half the price.

Though their lunch package seems to be good value (for bakerzin standard) I recommend you skip it and just stick to your own favorite. I had better experience ordering the ala carte menu in Tunjungan Plasa's branch.
