Raffel's Kota Kasablanka

Hi Eaters.

Being left alone at home, I decided to go and grab a bite in a nearby mall. Yes, your guess is right, Mall Kota Kasablanka. Usually I do my own cooking, but yesterday's traffic in Jakarta was so crazy and it just made me so tired to do anything.
So there I was, at my favourite mall, scoping for a place to eat until I saw Raffel's.

Thought I might skipped rice that night and just had sandwich instead.
I had a few disappointments with my previous visit at Raffel's Plaza Indonesia. But as they say, you can't judge all outlets aren't good just because you aren't happy with one.
So here I am, giviing a second chance for that sandwich in buns.

The menu

Various drinks

The outlet in Mall Kota Kasablanka isn't very big. The good thing is that it isn't located in a food court like the one in Plaza Indonesia. It has its own seating area although it was only for a couple of customers.

Seating area

For my meal I ordered something that I quite liked in my previous visit.

Roast Beef with Cheese

Roast Beef with Cheese

The Roast Beef with Cheese - IDR 22K was my favourite at the previous visit. Surprisingly it came with a thick beef filling and a lot amount of melting cheese. Very different than the one I had before. For my consideration this was so exciting. The beef was nicely seasoned, the meat was tender and still a bit juicy. It had a savory taste also. The cheese was overwhelming. Perfect level of saltiness. It didn't overpowered the beef. Nice.

Tuna Mayo Sandwich

Next I tried something I haven't tried before, just for my curiosity. I ordered the Tuna Mayo Sandwich - IDR 17K. This one had lettuce and tomato along with the tuna. It tasted good, although I wouldn't say it's awesome. But it's really not bad. The tuna was seasoned nicely. The mayonaise wasn't that much, and I couldn't hardly tasted it there. But the overall taste was nice. It's good, but not that awesome.

Curly Fries

Curly Fries

The Curly Fries - IDR 20K that I tried was quite good. Yes, I think Raffel's used frozen french fries commonly sold in the market. But for something to eat as a side dish, it's not too bad. You really can't expect a different flavor than the common frozen french fries though.

Iced Tea

My meal was closed by a glass of Iced Tea - IDR 9K. It tasted sweet. The tea wasn't that strong, although I can smell the jasmine. Pretty good and refreshing.

Overall conclusion, I've had better dining experience here than at the outlet at Plaza Indonesia. Was quite hesitated to stop by before when I remembered my previous experience at Raffel's. But everybody deserves a second chance, right? At luckily it wasn't a disappointing one.
You might find good sandwiches here with prices that are affordable.
Have I told you that Raffel's also has a wide range selection of food besides sandwiches? You might find fried chickens, pastas, rice, baked potatos, soups,  and so many choices of side dishes. They also serve coffee here.
Maybe next time I will try their baked potatos, or pastas. Pretty curious about their flavors now. Cheers.

Keep on chewing!
