Toby's Estate - Mall Of Indonesia — Restaurant in Jakarta

I think this joint is overrated.

The stars are for the crew, the ambience, the seating, the coffee. But alas, not the food and thus the food price.

The drinks, well, I ordered heineken which at 55k per bottle is quite a okay for a restaurant in a grande mall. One incident though, the first frozen beer glass was dirty with dirt, so the crew change my bottle and glass with a new one. The cappucino was good. Beautifully crafted of froth and had a balance palate.

Now, the food.

I had my doubt when my first order came, it was just a plain simple thing, fried string potatoes. They were dry, bland, skinny and lame.

Then the second plate came, mac and cheese. It went with two 1/8 fried chicken i.e. one drumstick and one rib. They both were floury thickness, my daughter just left it untouched. The mac cheese was nice though.

The third was black ink squid fried rice, what I spotted first was the oily thingy of crackers. The rice was bland.

The fourth was brisket burger. The round bread tasted like yesterday bread, the patty tasted like dry minced beef. The condiment? Oh my, the same bland tasteless skinny shoestring potatoes. That was the first time ever that my daughter would not finish her fav of all time food - fried shoestring potatoes.

The fifth was bailey cake. It was dry. It tasted like a leftover cake that you keep in the fridge from yesterday. I also noticed that a couple of bailey cakes from other patrons left unfinished at their tables.

What a shame.

Come on guys, you can do better than this.

Keep on...

My wife, my mother and my child of 3 years old + myself got salmonella from Toby's estate in MOI. We confirmed it from the salad we ate here. We did blood tests on day 2.

Firstly the service was bad. The kitchen was a mess when I went in to talk to the chef to change our food.

We came here with a child, asked for a simple pasta and he messed up and put chillies after we specifically said not to.

The salad we all shared except for my dad and grand mother.

Worst of all my wife was breastfeeding at that time and she gave it to our 1 month baby too.

Really a nightmare when we remember of Toby's estate. 2 whole weeks of our lives were wasted. And NO it was...

big surprise i got invited to this place. its been favorite place for having coffee. i also tried their lunch menu, mee goreng, its quite spicy, so if you dont love spicy, you should ask to put aside the chili. second one is thai basil chicken rice, it was so good, love it. and the last one is toffee pudding, but it was so sweet for me since i am not into sweet food, but if you love sweet dessert, i bet you will love it and the last one truffle cheese potato, oh this is so marvellous, i love it. if you in the area,...
