Nafeeza Steak and Bento


Last week, my colleague brought me to try food at this restaurant named Nafeeza, specializing in Steak and Bento, although actually there are so many varieties of food choices in the menu. From Asian food (Indonesian, Chinese, Japanese) until Western food (Italian, French). I was quite astound when I looked at the prices which are so affordable. But then at the end after I tried the food, my conclusion is "you get what you pay for" ;) 


Air-conditioner.

 Non Air-cond.

If you love chili, you will be really happy with all the array of Indonesian chili.

Sambal (chili)


Ceker - Rp. 12.000
As a dim sum chicken feet style lover, I was quite disappointed of this dish. The chicken feet probably was already over heated so many times that made it taste so mushy.

Kwotie - Rp. 12.000
Tasted good but not as good as the authentic ones.

Nasi Bakar Seafood - Rp. 25.000
Pretty good but too spicy for me. I barely could eat it.

Sirloin local - Rp. 48.000
top local sirloin (150gr) grilled and brushed with tangy BBQ sauce, served with mix veggie and french fries.

I asked for a medium rare steak. Well, it looks more like "rare" than "medium rare" to me. What do you think?

Three type of sauces for the steak (BBQ, sweet sour and black pepper).

Escargot de Champignon - Rp. 39.000
I guess I was expecting too much for this French dish. The mushroom really absorbed the margarine. Very oily.

Poached Pear Puff Pastry - Rp. 39.000
I like it! But please do not expect too much when you order this. It's just a simple puff pastry with poached pear on the top.

Bakpao Cokelat (chocolate bun)
It's good but it would be much better if the filling was melted chocolate.

Melon punch
Very sweet!!! It's like drinking sugar water.

All prices are subjected to tax and service charge.

Signora Pasta - Cirendeu


I would say that Signora Pasta is one of the best places for Italian pasta and pizza! Everything tasted delicious and wonderful with really affordable prices. Even the restaurant's atmosphere is so cozy and nice. My only complaint is why the location of this restaurant is so far from my place. It's located in Cirendeu, Tangerang, a city in the province of Banten. 


I went to Signora Pasta together with Cindy, Ana and Tiwi for an early dinner. We chose 5  pasta dishes.

Fettuccine Alla Diavola - Rp. 37.000
Fettuccine served with mushroom bell pepper with Signora's salsa. It's HOT!

Penne Al Salmone - Rp. 37.000
Pasta penne with smoked salmon in white cream. I really enjoyed it.

Gnocchi Al Pomorodo - Rp. 27.500
Home made pasta based on potatoes served with tomato sauce and parmigiano cheese. My favorite!!!

 Rigatoni Alla Boscaiola - Rp. 31.500
Rigatoni pasta with green peas, mushroom and smoked beef in white sauce and parmigiano cheese.

Spaghetti Al Gamberetti - Rp. 31.500
Spaghetti pasta served with shrimp and fresh tomato sauce. Beautiful, isn't it?

We also tried 
Scaloppine Di Pollo Al Funghi - Rp. 37.500
Fillet of chicken served with mushroom in white sauce. A lovely creamy dish!

Then, we also ordered pizza - it's a MUST!
Signora Pizza - Rp. 65.500
Pizza with tomato sauce, minced beef, smoked beef, bell pepper and mozzarella cheese.

And we ended our wonderful dinner with yummy desserts.

 Tiramisu - Rp. 21.500
The best home made tiramisu that I've eaten so far in Indonesia.


Coppe Di Gelato - Rp. 21.500
Home made ice cream - Strawberry and Avocado. So good!!!
