This weekend post will be.. Zenbu - House of Mozaru
What caught my eye:
Last Ramadhan Holiday i didn't go anywhere special since Jakarta basicly is the most peaceful place on earth when Eid ul-Fitr. I was sleeping, eating, doing house chore, poking my cat..blablabla.. Yup, it was boring.
Until The Expendable II made it way to Cinema, i decided! i had to get out of my nest! before i evolve to somekind of pig-human mutant.. I went to Kota Kasablanka (newest mall in town) with my friend. I'm not really impress with the movie, it meet all my expectation though (a group of badass beat this particular another badass.. my testosterone level is so damn high, i forgot how to apply lipstick after watching this movie! FAIL! LOL)
So, after watching movie, me and my friend were starving. We walk to this restaurant. Zenbu, in english; "completeness". And i walked to my table, this is the first thing that i saw..

| what the??? |
I stared.. stared at that thing.. for about one minute..
In my head "what the h*ck? what the h*ck? why???". Well, i'm a very simple girl; i love nail polish, cat and i love to eat, i eat a lot. One thing i hate; being reminded of diet! Especially while i'm going to eat!
They put these calorie-thingy on my menu! ~!@@#%&&!@#$%^&*()_+_)(*&^^%$#@!~!@#$%^&*!! WHATEVER!! I EAT WHATEVER I WANT TO EAT!! AAAAAARGH!!
After stared at that thing for a minute, and creep out the manager (she is the one who bring the menu) I just like "pshhh..whatever", then i open the menu. Then i saw this..

Burger mozaru - Rp 50.000,- (715 Cal)
Appereantly, mozaru stand for mozarella. Basicly mozaru is a blend of rice (mine was butter rice, you can choose between curry rice or butter rice) with various toppings (in my case burger) covered with mozarella cheese with choice of sauce (mine was dynamite sauce, you can choose between tomato, butter or dynamite sauce)
Now.. the taste.. eventhough they call it "dynamite sauce", it isn't that spicy. The mozarella taste is so dominant, but not overwhelming, i can taste the butter rice, my burger, and all as one unity. I can't tell this dish is special, but, it was a good one.
Wasabi mint - Rp 30.000,- (270 Cal)
They have to rename this drink; Minty Wasabi. The mint flavor is so dominant, you can only taste a tiny bit wasabi sensation. People who hate wasabi will love this, at least my friend love this, and he hate wasabi.
Ice tempura - Rp 20.000,- (127 Cal)
This is my first time eat ice tempura, i don't know what to expect. I have to eat another ice tempura for reference. but my first impression; "Is this a baked toast with vanila ice cream?" that's all. Not helping, not helping at all. LOL! Anybody know a good ice tempura? please tell me..
Okay.. so.. 715 + 270 + 127= 1112..
I ate 1112 Calories!! YAY!!! *depressed*
You can feel it, right? i tend to exaggerating while i'm eating. This one, well, they are "succeeded" making me eat less.
The place itself, was good. It is cozy, they play a nice soft japanesse song, dim lit, and they have non smoking and smoking area. And the waiters, they are so nice and helpful. Even the manager console me "don't you worry miss, all that calories will be gone after you walk around this mall, believe me!". Seriously, I want to believe.
I'm just so curious about the reason behind this calorie-thingy, then i visit their website.
Taken from their website:
Since the begining, Zenbu concept is to provide Healthy, Innovative and affordable foods which can be consume daily. Zenbu was one of the first restaurant that put calories in the menu. All the food are prepared with controlled and balanced nourishment which has become a new trend in healthy conscious society
Ahh.. now it's all make sense.. i have to admit, in this era when everything just to much. It actually kind a nice, a restaurant really thinking about health, and balanced nourishment.
What you might want to know:
Zenbu - House of Mozaru
Mall Kota Kasablanka UG
Jl. Casablanca Kave. 88
Okay, i'm trying to be objective by now, i love their concept, i love the waiters, i kind a like their food. i hate to say this but i accept their way to "remind" me about my own health (that calorie-thingy. blergh!)
I change my scoring system, i hope this will help you:
- Place: 7,5/10
- Food: 8/10
- Waiter: 8,5/10
- Concept: 10/10
- Value for money: 7.8/10
Total: 8.36/10!
Live your life to the fullest!
XOXO
