Istana Berkat Seafood Restaurant

Istana Berkat

Kali ini kita mengunjungi satu lagi resto Seafood di sekitaran jalan Manyar Kertoarjo setelah minggu lalu mencoba Puang Oca, Istana Berkat.
Letak resto ini di seberang Supermarket Casa, satu deretan dengan Resto Layar dan Terminal.

Serupa dengan resto-resto seafood lain di sini, disediakan ikan segar yang bisa dipilih hidup-hidup, dan disajikan berbagai pilihan sambal.

Another visit to one of the seafood restaurant in the Manyar Kertoarjo street after Puang Oca, Istana Berkat. It's located along Layar and Terminal.

Just like their similar counterparts, here they serves live seafoods, accompanied with a selection of sambal / chilli sauces.

Live Crab

Istana Berkat - Sambal

Istana Berkat - Kepiting Goreng Telur Asin - Kepiting Jantan Jumbo (Rp 26.000/ons)

Setelah bertanya menu apa yang favorit di sini, dianjurkan untuk mencoba Kepiting Goreng Telur Asin, tampilan masakannya menarik dan rasanya cukup ok. Di beberapa resto masakan cina termasuk di sini, penyajian kepiting yang dimasak dengan saus ditemani juga dengan mantau untuk menikmati rasa sausnya.

One of their signature dish is the Fried Crab with Salted Egg Sauce, it have both an appealing appearance and good taste to go with. Some Chinese restaurants serves chilli crab with mantau to soak in all the goodness(in this case we didn't get the chilli sauce one, but similarly heavy on sauce), and guess what, it's the same thing here.

Istana Berkat - Kepiting Saus Lada Hitam

Istana Berkat - Pocay Siram Jamur Enoki (Rp 32.500)

Hidangan sayurnya ternyata tidak seenak seafood yang lain, agak terlalu matang untuk selera kita. Berhubung tempatnya terkenal akan seafoodnya, yang memang rasanya lumayan, kita tidak sampai kecewa karena hidangan satu ini.

Their vegetable dish aren't as great as great as their seafood counterpart, it's a bit overcooked for our liking. Probably not a deal breaker since people goes here mainly for the delicious seafood.

Istana Berkat - Cumi Saos Mentega (Rp 55.000)

Istana Berkat - Gurami Asam Manis (Rp 55.000)

Resto ini termasuk cukup banyak menawarkan promo discount kartu kredit, saat makan di sini kita mendapatkan 30% off menggunakan salah satu kartu.

Kadang resto yang mengusung promo serupa, menyajikan makanan yang entah rasanya kurang atau porsinya diperkecil, di sini untungnya tidak demikian. Jadi termasuk recomended juga untuk yang gemar cari promo

This restaurant is quite generous with their credit card promotion, we got a 30% off, when paying with a credit card of a bank, which I already forgot from which one.

Though we used a card and got a nice discount, we didn't feel there's any downside to neither taste nor portion, so kudos for this restaurant for maintaining their quality albeit offering promotions.
