On a weekend afternoon, I visited a cafe where my best friend and I had promised to meet. We came to a cafe that has been viral lately for young people in the city of Lhokseumawe. Petro Dollar is the name of the cafe, this name is taken from the name for the city of Lhokseumawe in the past, this is because the city is very advanced because of the large companies in the region. Over time the city has now changed a lot and the name petro dollar began to be unfamiliar.
Well this cafe has a very minimalist design, but looks magnificent and elegant. Comfortable enough to hang out with friends while enjoying delicious drinks and snacks.
I came here right on a weekend day at noon, this place was still not too crowded. Only a few visitors such as students or people around who want to enjoy their coffee here.
When entering the cafe area, we started to order 2 drinks, and 2 boxes of snacks, well the system here is indeed order first and pay immediately. I ordered 2 favorite drinks at this cafe, namely 1 cup cookies and cream, 1 cup strawberry smoothies. Now for the food I ordered 1 box of chicken risol and also 1 box of fried dumplings.
After ordering, we climbed the stairs and rushed to the second floor. We chose to go upstairs because the weather was very hot. From the top floor, the view is very beautiful. I like it here and we are very happy to choose a strategic place with a view of the hustle and bustle of the city.
So here I will give a little review of the food and drinks that I ordered here. Hopefully this can help you if you visit here to choose the food menu provided.
Snack Box I Ordered
Dumplings Fried
My first order for the snack, I ordered a box of fried dumplings at IDR. 18,000 per box. It contains 4 pcs with 1 pcs chili sauce packet. The toppings in the dumplings are ground prawns with a combination of vegetables.
The texture of the fried dumpling itself, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I really like this combination, the aroma of the shrimp is not fishy at all and the most interesting crispy outside of the dumpling skin after being fried.
Adding the chili sauce on top, I enjoyed it immediately. Another thing I love is that they serve it fresh after frying. So the warmth of the snacks and skin dumplings is still very fitting. Moreover, the aroma ahh really fragrant makes me even more hungry.
Vegetable Chicken Risol
Next I ordered risol, risol is a dish made with flour and then filled with vegetables or whatever meat you like. Risol is in great demand by various groups because it has a delicious taste and unique shape.
This shredded chicken risol has a small filling of shredded chicken meat with a mixture of vegetables in the form of potatoes, chickpeas and carrots. For one box, the filling is 4 pcs with 1 pcs of hot sauce, the price per box is only IDR.15,000.
I really like the risol filling, it's very soft, creamy and a little bit wet with plenty of seasoning. On the outer skin, they give it a fanir dressing, and one more thing, they make their own risol skin. I noticed that when I bit into it, the outer skin seemed a bit thick. The savory spicy, slightly sweet taste of the vegetables was enough to spoil my tongue. I finished 2 pieces of risol because it was so good.
Drinks I Ordered
Ice Cookies and Cream
This drink is a sweet drink with a very spectacular taste, I love the sweetness that is just right not too over combined with the sweetness of chocolate and soft cream. On top of the topping, they give ice creme with a mixture of cookies that have been mixed together. The combination was enough to make me happy. How could it not taste uploading tastes and I gave a thumbs up for the deliciousness of this drink. It is very appropriate for this to be a favorite drink here.
Now the price itself is very wort it, one cup of cookies and cream drink with a very good blend of flavors. The price is only IDR. 25,000 in my opinion the price is very appropriate with this delicious taste.
Strowberry Smoothies
My next order is stoberry smoothies, having a sweet and slightly sour taste is a characteristic of strawberries. But there is something different about this drink, it feels like there is a little bit of milk mixture with a combination of bubbles that makes it very tasty.
The colors and packaging are quite attractive, they do add drinks in disposable cups not in glasses. However, this is enough to add their signature because their packaging is printed directly on the cafe with the logo of the cafe n restaurant name. Now for the price itself this drink is IDR. 25,000, this is the standard price in every cafe I visited here. Moreover, the taste is very good, especially the aroma is very distinctive, my friend and I are very happy to order this drink which is really good.
Well actually there are many menu choices in this cafe but because we came at noon a lot of food was not yet ready. Snacks that are not ready, a row of food stands that are usually open levar is still tightly closed. Heavy meals such as noodles or rice are still not available so I ordered only 2 boxes of snacks and 2 cups of drinks to relax with my best friend.
For those of you who want to relax here, try ordering the snacks I ordered with the non coffee drinks above that I mentioned. Everything is delicious and has its own characteristics. And my favorite among the 4 menus above are the strawberry smoothies and also the fried dumplings. Very tasty and the price is very affordable.
