March 7th, 2017. Finally visited this place with Aline, Cindy and Ivan. Hooray. It was quite viral because it belongs to a celebrity chef. Eclectic cuisine concept of modern French & Japanese dishes by Chef Juna Rorimpandey. Correlate.
Correlate is the culmination of an extensive culinary passion, featuring an easeful dining room fit for a delightful feast and a refined lounge that favors warm social affairs.
From outside, I coudn’t imagine what’s inside. When I came, I felt a little bit “wow what a fancy place” feeling. But not that intimidating. The people there were very friendly. And OMG! I saw Chef Juna myself, I was so shy to ask him for a selfie hahaha.. I just looked at him and smiled. *blushing* Ok back to the place. Located in Menara Rajawali, Correlate was very easy to find since it’s in the front area of the building. It’s very spacious with different kind of tables. Just drop by and see for yourself.
Correlate’s menu changes daily, catering the best of seasonal ingredients and Chef Juna’s broad inspirations. It is familiar yet unusual, inspired by French and Japanese culinary that may appeal to a diverse type of palates. Comfortably furnished and decorated in highlights of spring and autumn seasons, Correlate juts out an eclectic and incredible tale of a passionate culinary journey.

PLAT PRINCIPAL
Mac ‘N Cheese 119k
Rosemary chicken, chevre, Grana Padano
Such a delicious twist. Most people are delighted by mac ‘n cheese, but I have preference. I love it when it’s smooth and creamy. It’s gooey and cheesy. Classic. Served in a plate, this mac ‘n cheese stole my heart at the first aroma. They use 2 kinds of cheese. Chevre and Grana Padano. Délicieux.
Goat cheese, goats’ cheese, or chèvre, is cheese made from goat’s milk.

Mango mousse, almond dacquoise
Great texture of the mango mousse. Love the almond dacquiose. Dacquoise is a dainty little cake layer with crisp and sweet. It is a light meringue that has almond folded into it and baked in a thin layer. Hmm.. yum..
