Play Date @ the Playground

A play date with my beautiful friend Eknam at Grand Indo's Playground. This concept restaurant takes you back to your childhood days and reminds you that its ok to let go. Sitting on swings or mary-go-rounds or even one of their more conventional seating options, you can't help but relax and simply enjoy. 

Being vegetarian we were originally skeptical about their "American diner with a twist" sorts menu. However, to our pleasant surprise, the chef was quite accommodating to our request. Both the Aglio Olio and the Spicy Pesto did not fail to impress us. 

What did beat our expectations was the level of spice in a drink they quite innocently call the "Hot Virgin" (If you plan to try this one, make sure you let the chef know, as he then lets this drink do the talking to the palets of your tongue and the food pacify them!). 
On the other hand, for those who prefer sweet and simple, their Lemon Grass drink is a very good option.
BUT! for those who are truly dare devil: shout "Omakaze" and watch what they do to you ;)

Having been swept off our feet by the ambiance, how could we have left this place without testing and tasting their dessert art?- one thing is for sure- these guys really do know how to name dishes... cause after the Hot Virgin, one simply can not afford to resist "The Apple that Changed the World", and I have to say this apple did change my world! super light and just the right amount of sweet and savoury, I am deff going back for this baby!
