Sunday, February 6th started out as a regular relaxing family day with a stroll at the beach…For some reason, I was feeling a bit moody that day. No explanation, just one of those days.
Lunch time was quite ‘painful’. I think mom and dad found me quite testy and I was dreading afternoon nap time. So, I made it clear that I did not want to sleep. The plan worked and we went to the pool instead…Yes! I managed to postpone nap time and as a result, dinner time was later than usual. Mom & dad seemed exhausted, I don’t get why cuz we pretty much chilled all day…
Rather than having dinner at home, we (They) decided to go out. We headed to Corner 66 which is just a 5 minute walk from home.
We were greeted by a friendly staff, and as usual, they were smiling alot with me. They offered me the high-chair, but when dad saw that there were no straps on it, he said ‘No Thanks’. They didn’t seem to understand cuz they brought it over anyways. Dad went ahead and strapped on my own chair with all the security straps…Obviously, he doesn’t trust me to sit still through dinner….hmmmm….
We had to wait a bit for my veggie plate, but at least there was some entertainment… The shiny multi-colored lights that hung from the pillar were fun to look at for a while. They reminded me a bit of the decorative balls on Grandma’s Xmas tree, except they weren’t half as nice as Grandma’s tree. Her tree has flashing lights 🙂 There was also a candle on the table, that mom quickly hid from me 😦 Then, there was the plasticized Wheatgrass brochure on a wood stand that could be split into 2 for double the entertainment. The cocktail menu was also plasticized so I could drool all over that too.
The restaurant, as the name states, is located at the corner of ‘Double 6’ and ‘Werkudara’ streets. It’s sad to say, but daddy only figured this out tonight…But I can’t really blame him – old folks are a bit slow sometimes…Since it’s an open air restaurant, we get to see all the passers-by, the motorbikes and cars…This is always fun for me…Plus there were flat screen TVs for the sports fans.
The food arrived within a reasonable delay. I didn’t really notice the time since I was keeping busy. My veggie plate consisted of grilled vegetables (carrots, peppers, eggplants, zucchinis) on a bed of lettuce, dressing on the side, with a slice of baguette (soft and tender). Some of the veggies were a bit hard for my taste, but I only have 4 teeth! The main problem with the dish was that it was too salty! I ate it anyways, but was glad to have a piece of bread every few bites to get rid of the salty taste. Not the best veggie plate I’d had here so far. (In my opinion, the one across the street at Marzano’s was far better for about the same price ~ 25000Rp)
Mom was slightly disappointed with her Tempe Burger. She was expecting a big piece of grilled Tempe, but instead she had Tempe Manis between two buns with lettuce and tomato. Tempe Manis is a popular dish with a sweet flavour, but the small slices of tempe make it really messy to eat in a burger. Dad’s pork snitzel was standard, but nothing too extraordinary. Both dishes were served with fresh fries and ketchup on the side.
Overall, the food was alright and the location was convenient for us, but I wouldn’t purposely go out of my way to come. If you’re in the area and wanna have some simple food at reasonable prices with a nice airy feeling, then you can consider coming around the Corner….
