lebaran holiday july 2019 - omakase burger

after all the family picture affair at jacob ballas was finished, we went to wisma atria to eat lunch. we arrived exactly around lunch time, so we had to rush because we were a big group so it was almost impossible to get one big table for all of us. my brother in law suggested we tried omakase burger at picnic, and luckily there wasn't any queue yet. but since there were a lot of us, we still need to split table. apparently when we were there, there was an indonesian celebrity holding an event for birthday party/baby shower, so it was very noisy.

where to find: picnic food park at wisma atria 3rd floor.

what we eat: they sold beef burger, chicken burger and vegetarian burger. since i had to look after 3 kids, i didn't know exactly what hubby ordered, i think he ordered the cheeseburger. but i did know he bought two kind of fries, the truffle one and the cheese fries one.

the place: picnic food park is pretty dark. it has this jungle/nature type decoration so sometimes the flowers and leaves cover the light so at places it seems dark. there are long tables and also round table surrounding the fake trees. there's also a private dining room that was fully booked when we were there for private event. outside the private dining room there was a stage and a small playing area. i didn't know whether it was only for the birthday event or it was there everytime. place wise, it was a good place to chill and talk with your friends. for children, it was okay considering there are baby chairs and playing area, but it doesn't necessarily baby friendly since the food are mostly western, like burger and pizza and taco. so unless your children could eat that menu, it's not too children friendly. no children menu either.
cheeseburger and truffle fries
the food: the cheeseburger is pretty big. it was so big that i couldn't bite it. i have to use knife and fork to chop it into smaller pieces so i can eat it. and since it's big, it becomes very messy. really not mom friendly. i usually eat in between feeding my kids. but since this is messy, sometimes they have to wait for me to clean up first before giving them food. the meat was bland, the vegetables was okay, but nothing special. the bun was soft and fluffy but there was a burger joint in my hometown that also sells similar burger and it was tastier. the fries were okay. the truffle one was seasoned well so i have to eat it together with the burger so i could taste something other than the bland cheeseburger.but compared to truffle chips that i've tried, this one didn't have the truffle aroma in it. the cheesy fries was salty and if you eat it by itself, it would feel too salty that makes me a bit nauseous. the fries portion was generous enough.
cheese fries
overall, it was an expensive cheeseburger that tasted bland but luckily it was saved by the fries. so don't forget to buy the fries if you bought the burger. there was a pizza joint in the same place, and we tried that one. it was okay, kids like it and it had hawaiian option which we love! the dough however, is the thin type, unlike pizza hut's that's fluffy and soft. but kids ate them anyway.. so win-win. wouldn't go back for the burger but probably okay for pizza, but.. it was expensive so probably unless we didn't have any other option, we would go back.
