Rosso, Shangri-la, Jakarta

This is an Italian restaurant.

Porcini mushroom soup cappuccino with truffle oil and Tuscan cantucinni

Mushroom soup + cappuccino (!) + truffle oil + served in a coffee cup (with a layer of foam on top) = AMAZING!!!  INDESCRIBABLE!!!  I really don’t know to describe it but it is out of this world.  I don’t think I have ever this enthralled by food before.   I think the chef must be quite, quite genius.  AMAZING!!!  INDESCRIBABLE!!!

Crispy suckling pig “rustico” with roasted potatoes, bell peppers, stewed tomatoes and a garlic and rosemary sauce

The protein fills you up very well but it is a little too oily for my taste.  I recommend you get wine to go with this.  The roasted potatoes are perfect though.

Semifreddo al torroncino

A most creamy, satisfyinh end to a meal.

Rosso’s décor is nice.  I think it’s worth it to come in, have a cup of coffee/ wine and enjoy the ambience.  I think that can be an enjoyment in itself, all the more so if it’s raining a storm outside.
