Tom Tom Restaurant at Grand Indonesia (Jakarta)

Can you imagine the convenience of working in an office that is located just above Grand Indonesia? Well, I couldn't until I started working in my current workplace which is located in Menara BCA. On the positive side, you are pampered with a lot of good stores and restaurants but the downside of having such convenience is, if you are eating out in the restaurants everyday, it will cost you a fair share of your salary. 

Thank God they have cafetaria in the building which serve much cheaper food compared to the one in the restaurants. But I guess once in a while, having lunch in the restaurants does not hurt, especially if you are bored with the variety of food that is served in the cafetaria.

Today I am going to review Tom Tom, a Thailand Restaurant that is located in Grand Indonesia. Just to give you some additional information, the owner of Tom Tom is related to the owner of Suan Thai so some of the dishes taste similar.

Tom Tom Thai Iced Coffee (IDR30K++)

The coffee taste really strong. In my opinion it has the right amount of sweetness but the coffee feels little bit too acidic for me.

Honey Garlic Crispy Chicken (IDR50K++)

A must have if you are going to Tom Tom. Crispy in the outside, juicy on the inside, the seasoning and the sauce taste really nice. My favorite dish in this restaurant. However, talking about inconsistency, the chicken was not as crispy as usual during my last visit. But still, it taste really good.

Neah Yang (IDR78K++)

The beef taste really nice. And if you like a kick of spiciness, pour the sauce on top of the beef or if you want to play safe, simply dip the beef to the sauce and enjoy it. I think the beef taste much better without the sauce though.

Pad Thai (IDR48K++)

If you are eating by yourself, please be aware that the portion of rice and noodle dishes in Tom Tom are very big. I went to eat with a friend and we had a hard time finishing the Pad Thai because it was too much for the two of us. The Pad Thai taste okay, although I think the noodle is too wet and they clumped when we tried to mix it.

Overall, I think Tom Tom is a really good place to eat. And in my opinion, if you are low on budget you can just order the rice and noodle dishes and share it because the portion is a little bit too big for one person. However, there might be some inconsistency when it comes to the quality of the food. One time, the Honey Garlic Crispy Chicken was so hard and I had to send it back to the kitchen. Thankfully they did that and the replacement was so much better.

If  you are in Grand Indonesia and you are in Grand Indonesia, consider giving this restaurant a visit for its Honey Garlic Crispy Chicken.
