Here is my first serious food review, LOL (me, being an absolute non-experienced food critics 
)
Last night we (Pandu, Adek, Nara and I) went to d’ocean restaurant
It’s quite new, located at Komp Tendean Square Unit 1-1A, Jl. Kapten Tendean (Wolter Mongonsidi) – Kebayoran Baru.
Pandu’s been nagging me all day on where we’ll eat to break our fasting. The choices were d’ocean, Fish & Co or Pastis (my idea and he bluntly rejected the idea, hihi) and after lots of drooling afterwards, Pandu decided that he was firmed with d’ocean. He called to make a reservation. Thank God they accept a reservation whilst some other restaurant usually does not accept reservation during fasting month.
We break our fast with homemade chocolate pudding, pray and then heading to the restaurant.
We arrive shortly because it’s only 10 minutes from our house. The restaurant has 2 storeys. Apparently the 1st storey was full and our table was on the 2nd storey. The waitress are very friendly, a bit too many of them actually, we were escorted by 5 waitress to our table…hihi
The ambience was nice with somewhat blue lighting and cozy chair. They also have high-chair for Nara, it’s a standard high-chair produced by Ace Hardware as you may find in any food court.
Not long after we sat down, the food came instantly (we have pre-ordered by phone just before we leave house). My oh my, the food looked so appealing *drooling*
We had Tahu Telor Merapi (IDR 35,9K) which is the best tahu telur I ever tasted. As you may see in the picture above (lower middle pic), it was humongous. The tofu was hidden below the crisp duck eggs. It has ketchup underneath in just a right amount (not too sweet because I don’t like it sweet). For main course we have Udang Wamayo (IDR 59,9K) it’s like prawn with mayonnaise as in Chinese food but it they put a slight wasabi also, that’s why it’s called Wamayo (upper and lower right pics). It’s certainly delicious but not the best I ever had. We also have Cumi Cabe Garam (upper middle pic), it’s pretty much tasted like the one they have in Duck King, yummm 
. I don’t really like the Tumis Buncis Bawang Putih (IDR 19,9K) but Pandu loved it. Furthermore, IMO the best was Sambal Kemangi (upper left pic)…I never taste any SAMBEL like that, especially when I ate the Kemangi which gave a tingling sensation over the hot spicy sambal. We ate like monsters; even Nara ate ay-lot. He ate 1 Cumi Cabe Garam and 3 Udang Wamayo with rice…yayyy!
All in all, I recommend this restaurant. They also have credit card promo, 30% off using RBS and Mandiri with minimum payment of IDR 200k (I forget until when exactly).
Next time we go there, we definitely must try Kepiting Telur Singapore Chilli Sauce and Prawn with Salty Egg
