Happy New Year!

I choose their special Christmas set dinner (250k++). So, let's see
 

Quiet good appetizer, something like tasty "corn cakes" with juicy shrimp, salsa and their secret sauce. Just a little bit too dense for the cake, but for the taste, like it.

Sweet ending! Personally I Love Pie so much, especially classic lemon meringue pie! Balance of sweet and sour of lemon, crunchy and sandy pie dough, top with creamy sweet meringue. With perfect taste and texture  lemon (I guess) or something citrus ice cream, plus extra texture from crumble on side, can't imagine for another dessert now. Presentation, looks pretty! Two thumbs up!

Es Krim Petrus a.k.a Es Krim Petrus : Frozen!

This is it!

For your information, Pontianak is one Tropical city in Borneo that is right at the Khatulistiwa. So, you can imagine how we need something like ice cream to chill our body. Let's dig some!

The real name is Es Krim Angi, but local people always said "Es Krim Petrus". I ask why, actually because it's located in front of Saint Petrus School.

Oh! Don't forget to enjoy your ice cream with coconut if you want to eat on the spot! Very unique and recommended!
