Guacamole & Salsa Dip

After being a pair of lazybummers all day, doing nothing but lying in bed and sleeping all day, Me & R decided to have dinner out. It’s up to me to decide the restaurant and I picked Mexican! No chance of going to Amigos in Kemang cause there’s this Kemang Festival going on rite now and that area must be damn crowded. Plus I’m kind of tired with Amigos food. The final decision was to go to Chili’s located in Sarinah Thamrin.

Getting there was a big fuss, we had to get gasoline first and the traffic in Pos Pengumben was a killer – like any other weekend traffic there. Secondly the roundabout in Sudirman was a mineland, you never know with police officers there, they can just stop you for no reason if you’re in a bad luck. And I made a wrong decision by telling R to do a U-turn in patung kuda instead of the usual harmoni U-turn. But we managed to arrive there safely … yippee

Ordered a chicken fajitas nachos for a starter and in the middle of waiting for our starter to arrive we ordered nachos big mouth burger. I was looking around the interior of the restaurant while waiting for our food, R was commenting on how dodgy they design it, especially the big size cooking pot as a lamp? The restaurant has this yellow ambience with a very colorful decoration.

Finally after waiting for almost 15-20 min the fajitas nachos arrive. They arrange the fajitas nachos triangle in a circle with lettuce & diced tomato showered in the middle with a scoop of sour cream and guacamole. The fajitas nachos is a triangle tortilla with chicken breast strip covered with jack cheese and mozzarella cheese finished with 1 slice of jalapeno. So far I can say this is the best nachos variation I ever tried, not comparable to the one I ate in Amigos or Planet Hollywood. Sizewise, each nachos come in a larger size than the one in PH and I think they have around 15 triangle in 1 serving whereas the PH one only have 6 pieces of triangle, although this one is slightly more ex.

Finished with the nachos but the burger has not yet arrived. Gosh imagined if we decided to order after we finished the starter, R said maybe the order will come tomorrow. 10 minutes later and 1 refill of ice tea and coke, the big mouth burger finally come into view. The burger was huge (literally huge!), served open top, because there are nachos slices covered with jack cheese on top of the burger beef. On the top side of the bread they smeared it with sour cream, diced tomato, jalapeno and a scoop of guacamole. The side dish that came with the burger was French fries. I love having French fries in a Mexican restaurant, cause you can dip it in guacamole+salsa sauce+sour cream … yumm yumm! Regardless the fact that Me & R share the burger, at the end of the meal we can barely move, because we’re so stuffed. Desserts looked utterly delicious, but we can’t handle anymore food so we skip desserts like usual!

The only complaint I have for this restaurant is they charge for every single dip you asked. The dip alone come to about Rp 30.000 in the end ... plus 15.5% PPN and service charge, so that's like Rp 60.000 for nonsense!

I think my baby inside was happy; she cannot stop moving ever since the beginning of the meal. She constantly moves until about 2 o’clock in the morning. Having too much energy from a nice good food.
