Penguin View Dining @ Pingoo Neo Soho Mall

January 10, 2017

Pingoo Neo Soho
If you love the idea of having dinner with a view of fish aquarium, then imagine if you can have a penguin aquarium view while dining. Yes, penguins! So, last weekend my brother told me about this newly opened restaurant Pingoo in Neo Soho Mall and I was so excited to take a look of it. With a beach house decoration concept, Pingoo is a part of Jakarta Aquarium which is a collaboration between Taman Safari Indonesia and Aquaria KLCC.

We came here on Saturday around 5.30 p.m. and queued for about 45 minutes before we could get a seat. I highly recommend you to come earlier if you don't want to queue too long outside, but you might just can grab their drink while sitting inside because the food is only ready to be served twice; at 12.00 p.m for lunch and 6.00 p.m for dinner. The restaurant was so packed and most visitors were family with children.

I ordered Pingoo Grill Seafood Platter - 225K ++

And also with a choice of potatoes, vegetables or salad.

I didn't expect so much about their food but it turned out that the seafood was not fishy at all and the seasoning sauce was on point! I found the french fries were a little bit too dry but that's just a minor problem for me. 7,5/10 for this platter!

I'll probably try the other main course on my next visit. They offer a variety of food from appetizer, nibbles and salad (60 - 100K ++) , soup (55K ++), pasta ( IDR 65 - 85K ++), seafood platter (like the one that we ordered) to steak (170 - 270K ++). Only 1 dessert they serve so far which is banana split for 45K ++.

Say hello to these little fellas! There were 6 penguins inside the aquarium when we came.
