Caprese - Kota Kasablanka

Burger - dry, flavorless and in general not too good
Pizza - flavor wise it was okay, thin crust, but it's soggy by the time I came to have a bite
French fries - pretty good, crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside
Tuna nicoise - pretty good, the dressing was a bit too mayonnaise heavy/oily

Verdict - not better than mom's

El Gaucho's - Kemang Village

I ordered a large nachos to begin with...it had some sour cream, pico de gallo, bits of cheese, jalapeno and little else.  Not recommended for 85k.

Then I ordered a sirloin steak, medium rare.  Not recommended at any price.  The salad was drenched in dressing, and even worst it was some kind of "Asian" dressing (I didn't have a choice of dressing) with tons of ginger.  The steak was as thin as paper, came barely warm (the plate wasn't heated), didn't have any flavor despite the wood fire.

Verdict: Not better than mom's

Cowboy's Bar - Kemang

I ordered a sirloin steak, I'm not sure what I got, but it sure isn't sirloin.  It was tough, gristly, under seasoned, and in general not so good.

Verdict: not better than mom's

Shabu Nobu - Kemang

We ordered the shabu shabu, some Yakitori sticks and a tempura moriawase.

Shabu shabu: the ingredients are fresh and high quality (as it should, they're not cheap).  The broth is just so so.  And the sauce was a bit too vinegary.

Yakitori sticks: juicy chicken thighs, perfectly done grilled garlic, decent wings.  The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but again the ingredients seem to be quite top notch

Tempura moriawase: no different than the gorengan/fried stuff you get on the side of the street

Verdict - Not better than mom's
