Ta Wan

I had dinner on a Sunday at the Emporium Mall with (DH). We choose this place because of the reasonable price and the generous portion. I spent too much money on the weekend shopping so I thought less money on Sunday's dinner would make sense. Ta Wan has a chain of restaurants all over Jakarta, located in big malls, therefore definitely very easy to locate and dine. 

In Mandarin, "Ta" means "Big" and "Wan" means "Bowl". Put together, the restaurant name means "Big Bowl". And they stay true to that name, by serving their soup and their specialty porridge in BIG bowls.

Menu : Hot & Sour Soup
Price : Rp 26,500++
Score : 7.0 / 10

» Aline with the restaurant's name, this come in a BIG bowl (Sorry the angle of the photo didn't show that) and very value for money indeed! The soup has the spicy and the sourness I love! In addition to that, you'll be amaze of the portion, you can have 4 servings and all that for mere Rp 26,000. Hell yeah good deal !!!

Menu : Broccoli Tiga Jamur
Price : Rp 27,500++
Score : 5.0 / 10

» It was okay so-so I'd say. The broccoli were crunchy and the restaurant was generous with the mushrooms' portion. But apart from that, the whole dish was more to plain actually :p. I think the next time I come here, I'll order some other vegetables dish.

Menu : Lumpia Keju
Price : Rp 43,000++
Score : 5.5 / 10

» Prawns, egg, carrots and block of cheese stuffed in rice paper skin and fried to standard. Not particularly wonderful, but the cheese gave a different taste and texture to the ordinary vegetable or meat spring rolls that I usually eats.

Menu : Black Pepper Beef
Price : Rp 39,000++
Score : 6.5 / 10

» This was rather nice! Generous portion, tender beef, crispy onions and zucchinis, definitely tasty black pepper sauce! For Rp 39,000, I thought this was quite value for money too!
