Ce Wei
Posted by jeny at 8:08 AM
Last month, we had dinner with my high school friend and her husband at Ce Wei restaurant, Pluit Village (used to be Megamal). I've heard about this restaurant since they opened their first restaurant at Wisma Dharmala Sakti several years ago, but I've also heard that Ce Wei is quite expensive, so it wasn't high on our list of restaurants to try. We changed our mind when we saw that a certain credit card had a discount program at Ce Wei. The interior is not really appealing and the lighting is a bit dark, but the restaurant was quite full at dinner time, so we're hoping the food will be good :)

Ce Wei

The discount didn't included BBQ items, so make sure you asked first before ordering. So here's what we ordered; we started with tofu and crab soup 26.8K, hot & sour seafood soup 26.8K, and pork & lotus soup 28.8K, then 2 combination bbq platter 68.8K, soft shell crab with salty egg 54.8K, angsio iga babi 68.8K (came with fried man tou), tofu with mushroom 52.8K, stir fried eggplant with spicy sauce 42.8K. Overall it was delicious, I especially liked their softshell crab, tofu with musroom & the sechuan soup. :)

Bakmie Bangka Poppay
Posted by jeny at 4:30 PM
Last weekend, I was doing some shopping at ITC Mangga Dua and decided to have lunch there. I remembered that someone has recommended a noodle stall called Poppay on the second floor of ITC Mangga Dua. I'd passed this place several times in the past and it was always packed with customers. So we went there this time and determined to wait until we got a table. As predicted, the place was full. We waited several minutes to get a table. From the menu pasted on the wall, we learned that they serve mie ayam bangka, pempek, tahu kok & nasi tim. We quickly placed our orders: bakmie bangka 12K and tahu kok 12K. We have to wait for another 20 minutes until our orders were served. The taste was decent, but not that great to justify the throng of people here. Plus, the service is really bad. I have to nag them several times for our orders. I guess that was enough to turn my mood off.

Lenggok Betawi
Posted by jeny at 8:24 AM
Right after Bu Kris, we drove to PIK area in order to sample sup buntut (oxtail soup) in a restaurant that is highly recommended by one of our friends. Lenggok Betawi is located near the famous Leko & Tekko restaurants, but the situation was much less hectic. So we went inside and ordered: nasi uduk 5K, nasi gurih 5.5K, buntut balado 27.5K, sup buntut 27.5K and sate urat 15.5K. Overall, the dishes were quite good, I like their nasi uduk & sop buntut. Their buntut bakar was also not bad. We'll be back to try their other menus.

Warung Bu Kris
Posted by jeny at 5:38 PM
For the past several weeks, we've been going to a number of restaurants that seem to have invaded Jakarta with their penyet menus. This one is also one of the well-known names from Surabaya. I've heard several friends raving about the restaurant, so one weekend, we decided to try Warung Bu Kris for lunch. The restaurant is quite spacious and they offer many variations on penyet menus. Besides ayam penyet, they also have iga penyet. So we ordered: iga penyet 22.5K, ayam penyet paha 13K, 1 penyet komplit kecil (ayam penyet, tahu & tempe penyet + bakwan) 31K, with es cao 5K, es lemon soda jumbo 9K. The service was quite good and we didn't have to wait too long for our orders. SC's iga penyet was delicious, tender and the sambal is not spicy at all as he requested. My penyet komplit was also satifying. The sambal was spicy, but not as spicy as the ones at Tekko or Leko. I was also quite surprised to find that bakwan is actually what I know as bakso (meat ball), not some meat/prawn/vegetables fritter. Overall, it was a delightful meal and we're looking foward to visit this place again :)

Warung Leko
Posted by jeny at 7:29 AM
The next day, we returned to the same row of shophouses in PIK, wanting to try other restaurants in the area. Our first stop was Bakmi Tan, which wasn't successful (23K for a bowl of so so wonton noodle) :( After that, I insisted to go to Warung Leko. As the weather wasn't too hot, we chose to sit outside and ordered a portion of Iga Penyet (spicy) 25K with es cincao 5K and es susu tarik 5.5K. It didn't take too long for our orders to arrive. From the looks of it, Leko's portion size is more generous than Tekko's. The meat was also tender, but Leko uses less spice so we can still taste the meat's flavor. The chili was bearable this time, but that's because I don't have enough courage to order the super hot chili sauce :D. Overall, we liked this place better than Warung Tekko.

Warung Tekko
Posted by jeny at 4:35 AM
2 weeks ago, we went to Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) to try the famous iga penyet. We arrived at the row of shophouses across PIK's Waterboom just around lunch time. There are two restaurants specializing in Iga Penyet at the area: Warung Tekko and Warung Leko. Both have the same outdoor and indoor seating, both have the same typeface & style on their logo, and both were crowded. So we decided to try Warung Tekko first.

Warung Tekko

We chose the indoor seating as it's still hot outside. The waitress who took the order called me tante :(( Anyway, We ordered a portion of Iga Penyet (super pedas) 25K, Lidah Sapi Penyet (tidak pedas) 15K, Terong Penyet with two portions of rice. The meal came not long after we ordered. They looked appetizing and the portions were moderate. My super hot and spicy ribs, tasted heavenly. The meat was tender and the "super pedas" moniker was not kidding. It tasted so hot that I actually had tears in my eyes. SC's ox tounge was also satisfying. Next, we will try the Iga Penyet next door. :)

Lau's Kopitiam
Posted by jeny at 6:31 PM
Lately, kopi tiam (coffee shop) seems to have become a trend as new stores are opening left and right in the past few months. So we were curious about Lau's Kopitiam which has just opened at Emporium Mall Pluit. They offer a number of light meals, such as cakwe 5K, lumpia goreng 10K, pangsit goreng 10K, telur rebus setengah matang 5K and also heartier menus like sandwiches, mie, kwetiaw & bihun, rice dishes. It was quite crowded when we arrived. Since we've just had lunch with SC's parents, we only ordered regular kaya toast 12K with teh susu (milk tea) 10K. The kaya toast tasted delicious with old style thick bread and kaya/srikaya jam (made from coconut milk, egg and caramelized sugar). The milk tea was good too, although I suspected that they were using Lipton milk tea. :)

Teo Chew Palace
Posted by jeny at 5:52 PM
2 months ago, I was quite keen to try this new place because since its opening, Teo Chew Palace has been very crowded. More over, there was a 30% discount for BCA credit card. So one night, SC & I tried it. We ordered teochew porridge, and kwetiaw siram seafood for SC. The place was quite full and we felt that we were being ignored as we had to nag several times for our meal & drinks. My teochew porridge looked and tasted disappointing. The one I had at Pancawarna tasted much better (and much cheaper too) than this one. SC's kwetiaw was just OK, nothing special. After we finished our meal, we asked for our bill and it turned out that our bill have to reach 100K after discount. Othewise, we couldn't get the discount. So we ordered a dessert (mango sago) which fortunately tasted good.

After that not so successful experience, I still came back here with my high school friends just to try their dimsum. I called ahead to reserve, but were told that they can't provide reservation on weekend. Luckily, we can get a table. We ordered several kinds of dishes that were brought by passing carts, some of the dimsum tasted good (their egg tart was delicious), some was only so so, and we still have to nag several times for our drink. Overall, I think this place is overrated, The price of the dimsum we had after the discount was not that cheap either compared to other dimsum places in Jakarta.

Kwetiaw Kerang Singapore
Posted by jeny at 12:43 PM
Last month, we had dinner with several friends at Kwetiaw goreng Singapore Pluit. We've been here several times and each time, their kwetiaw goreng kerang never disappoints despite its petite portion. The place is always full during lunch and dinner time, so it's better to make a reservation beforehand. That night we ordered: Udang Cioyam (lada garam) L : 115K, Tiram Goreng Telor L : 36.2K, Lumpia Udang L : 56.2K, Kwetiaw Gr Kerang : 20K, Cah Than M : 29.2K, Sop Seafood Bamboo Mushroom L : 54.2K, Ayam Gr Garing L : 58.2K, Kepiting Soka L : 60.2K. and for dessert we ordered Es Campur Solo :13K. In my opinion, besides their kwetiaw kerang, all other dishes were OK though not really superb. Based on our experience, their cumi cioyam tastes better than their udang cioyam. Their dessert, es campur Solo is also good. :)

Posted by jeny at 4:44 PM
Last month we had dinner with several friends at Family Ria restaurant. The restaurant was packed with people, though luckily, our friend had already made a reservation earlier and preordered their famous Pakis Tumis. We ordered Pakis Tumis (L) 65K, Bebek Asap (smoked duck) 155K, Babi Panggang (roasted pork) 122.5K, Lindung Cah Fumak 60K, Tim Ikan Jelawat, Saklon Goreng Mentega 87.5K, Mun Hu Pio (M) 82.5K, Sop Asparagus Kepiting (crab and asparagus soup) 15K, Sop Asam Pedas (sichuan hot and sour soup) 15K, Sop Pangsit Ikan Kombinasi (L) (fish dumpling combination soup) 90K. Overall, all the dishes were delicious. I especially like the crispy frog skin and the Tumis Pakis. When we tried to order a second plate of Tumis Pakis, they informed us that the dish had already sold out.

Sagoo Kitchen
Posted by jeny at 4:19 AM

Last month, we're meeting several friends at Mal Kelapa Gading. We had planned to go to Eat & Eat, but later decided to go to this recently opened joint instead. The place was very crowded when we arrived. It is a very interesting restaurant. At the front is a warung selling all kinds of old-fashioned stuffs we used to see in childhood, but rarely seen today, from snacks, toys to old kitchenware (of course with premium prices). The restaurant itself was designed to resemble an old-style warung peranakan with a number of vintage chinese pictures on the wall.

Cosi
Posted by jeny at 5:59 PM
Last month, after office hours, we visited Cosi, a restaurant located inside FX lifestyle Xnter. We've been to Cosi several times at their Pluit branch and in my memory it was not bad. We asked for a non-smoking area, and unsurprisingly, were ushered to a table outside near the escalator. Although designated as non-smoking, the location still smelled, probably caused by smoke coming from inside the restaurant or the chain smokers sitting on Segafredo's second floor. Cosi calls itself a Hongkong and Macau cafe, serving Macau snack, Hongkong BBQ, Macau Curry, Portuguese styled baked rice, Hong Kong street food, Designer Congee, La Mian and Macaroni, Sandwich & Bun, thick toast and Western hot plate.

Glass House
Posted by jeny at 5:12 PM
Last month, we visited a place called Glass House located at Pluit area. The place has a quite nice design & concept. The menu is a combination of Asian & Western dishes. Since we've already had lunch somewhere else, we didn't order much. We only ordered a portion of fish & chips and warm chocolate cake. The fish & chips was quite good, served with what they said is tar tar sauce. The fish was fresh & fried in the right crispiness. As for the chocolate cake, the portion was small, but the cake itself was not bad at all. It was warm, using dark chocolate I presume, with a right texture. A funny thing happened when we paid the bill. I usually keep restaurant's bill for review. But the waiter didn't give me back my receipt, and when I asked for it, it came back with a very crumpled paper. :))

Indian Tandoor
Posted by jeny at 3:41 PM
Last month I was craving for Indian Cuisine. At first we wanted to go to Haveli at Graha Irama, but a friend pointed out that it has recently closed. So our next choice is Queen of India at Hotel Danau Sunter. On our way to Sunter, we passed several Indian restaurant that looks quite promising, so we changed course and stopped at Indian Tandoor.

Indian Tandoor

The place was simple, but clean with several Indian accessories on the wall and the television was playing an Indian movie channel. It turned out that we're the only Indonesian patrons sitting there. To me, it is a sign of authentic food. So we ordered garlic naan 10.5K, butter naan 9.5K & Mix Vegetable Makhanwala (a combination of vegetables cooked in tomato gravy) 29K, plus a portion of chicken biryani rice 39.5K. The meal turned out in very generous portions, it tasted hot, tasty & spicy. Since I love Indian dishes, to me all of the dishes was very delicious. The service was very friendly, we surely will be back for more.

Shabu Tei
Posted by jeny at 5:42 PM
When I heard from several friends that Shabu Tei was giving 50% discount for their meal if paid with BCA credit card, I was so excited to try it. So I asked my friend if she wanted to break fasting there. She agree and we went to the Plaza Semanggi branch. We had a great time there but too bad I didn't bring my camera. Several weeks later, a couple of friends, SC and I went to Mall Taman Anggrek branch for dinner. The place was very crowded, there's a small queue in front of the restaurant, but luckily we didn't have to wait long to get a table.
Shabu Tei

We ordered agedashi tofu 19K, spicy salmon salad (fresh salmon with spicy mayonaise sauce) 16K, wagyu prime rib eye (large) 139K served with shitake mushrooms, enoki, spring onions, carrot, bean sprouts, Chinese cabbage, radish, tofu, udon and steam rice. plus an additional order mix seafood (large) 95K, tempura moriawase (fried ebi tempura & mixed vegetables) served with miso soup & steam rice 54K. Overall, the meals were delicious although their salmon salad portion was smaller than the one I had before. The service was a bit slow (maybe it's because the restaurant was full and they're low on staff as it was still in holiday season).

Last Month, we visited this Japanese restaurant located in the same area with Warung Ngalam for dinner. The restaurant is on the second floor. The interior was spacious, dimly lit, but still feels cozy & warm. The service was quite good, and the menu is extensive. That night, we ordered Chasoba 35K for SC and Oyako Jyu 31K for me. For dessert, we ordered Ogura ice cream 9K. In my opinion, both of the dishes tasted great. My Oyako Jyu was quite delicious although the portion was a bit too small for a girl with a very big stomach like me :P The cold soba also tasted delicious. It came with a bowl of soup and a raw bird egg to put inside the soup. I like the soup taste very much. After dinner, each of us were given a plate of complimentary fruit. I think we'll be back as soon as we have the chance since I'm dying to try their cute kids bento :)

[Relocated] Coffee Tree
Posted by jeny at 10:18 AM
After eating so many Nasi Campur Bali, we decided to find a place to cool our stomach down. We went to the newly relocated Coffee Tree (previously located on Mall Artha Gading). The place are far more spacious than the old one, 2 storey town house, with the second floor dedicated for the smokers. We got a cozy sofa at the ground floor and ordered black coffee 20K, hot kahlua mocha 32K, ice kahlua mocha 35K, irish cream mocha 35K, ice tiramisu latte 39K, tiramisu 29K and ice cream vanilla 15K for dessert. The coffee tasted delicious plus a nice latte art on every cup, and I love their tiramisu, one of the best in town in my opinion. :)

We had family dinner last month at Cuisine Cuisine, a Chinese restaurant on the second floor of Pluit Junction. Apparently this restaurant is under the same management with Red Saphire. I'm not the one ordering, so this is pretty much what I remembered what we had. We had steamed fish, fish maw soup, sapo tofu, assorted pork, stir fried po chai with egg, century egg & salted duck egg, steamed prawn, and another type of sapo I don't remember the name. Overall all the meal were delicious, good services, although the price was quite pricey.

Red Sapphire
Posted by jeny at 9:02 AM
Two weeks ago we had dimsum at Red Sapphire, a new chinese restaurant located at a new place called Pluit Junction. It looks glamorous from outside and nice from the inside. The walls are plastered with red wallpapers and Chinese poems written on them. A few pieces of Chinese antique furniture are scattered about. The dimsum menu consists of about 30 items to choose from. We picked mini egg tart (3pcs) 10.8K, prawn dumpling 13.8K, Xiao Long Bao 12.8K, chicken feet 10.8K, beef cheong fan 13.8K, prawn cheong fan 15.8K, char siew cheong fan 13.8K, siew mai 13.8K, taro cake 12.8K, chasiu pie 12.8K, duck dumpling 12.8K, fried prawn dumpling 13.8K, fried durian dumpling 20K, pork ribs with taro 12.8K. with Chinese tea (ti kuan yin) 5K. Overall, the dishes tasted above average & the price was moderate, but the service was quite slow. We had to wait for some time for every order to come to our table, especially our last order: fried durian dumpling, which took more than 30 minutes. Hopefully if we have the chance to return in the future, they would have already improved their service.

Sate Khas Senayan Express
Posted by jeny at 9:05 AM
We had dinner with several friends at Sate Khas Senayan Express in Artha Gading Mall. I like the design that still uses traditional elements mixed with comtemporary lighting, making the restaurant looks fresh, while still retaining traditional style. The menu is simplified from Satay House Senayan with several additional rice menus. We ordered nasi pepes combo 41K, tongseng sate combo 60K, tahu telur sate combo 41K, sate ayam bumbu pedas combo 37K, nasi gudeg combo 29K, nasi begana combo 32K, es coklat kacang merah 15K, es campur 15K. The dishes' presentation was very nice. My nasi pepes tasted ok, although not as good as nasi pepes tante liana. My friend complained the her sate ayam blora was cold instead of hot. Other than these issues, the dishes were decent. Maybe next time we'll stick to their best dishes: satays and Tahu Telor. :)

Simpang Tiga
Posted by jeny at 8:58 AM
Last month, we had a quick lunch at Simpang Tiga restaurant. It's a Padang restaurant that is very famous in North Sumatra. If you travel around North Sumatra by car, you'll find a lot of Simpang Tiga along the road that has become traveller stops and they serve decent Padangnese cuisine. However, I found this one to be quite contrary from my expectations. The interior of this restaurant is very glamorous and a bit tacky. The service is very friendly though. They didn't serve the dishes the way Padang restaurants usually do. We have to order what we want to eat. So we chose Gulai Otak 12K, Daun Ubi Tumbuk 8K, and Ikan Patin Asam Pedas 10K. SC was quite satisfied with the dishes since they weren't spicy at all. Their ikan patin asam pedas was quite delicious. But I'm disappointed because the dishes tasted too sweet for my preference. Maybe it was because they've adjusted the taste to suit Jakartan's taste. Since it was quite pricey, I think I won't be visiting this fancy Padang restaurant if I have other choices.

[Reopening] Ya Udah Bistro
Posted by jeny at 8:04 AM
Ya Udah

Ya-Udah was our old time favorite western restaurant, we're dissapointed when they decided to sold the premises at Jalan Jaksa. So when we heard & read that they've opened again in the new location, we're very excited. Last month, on 15 June, several days after their reopening, we head there with several friends for brunch. The new place on Kelapa Gading Boulevard is not hard to find, located a few hundred meters from the Kelapa Gading/Kayu Putih/Perintis Kemerdekaan intersection. The interior stayed more or less the same. I guess they tried to create the same atmosphere like the one at Jaksa. There are 2 separate dining area, inside or at the terrace. We chose to sit at the terrace, which is sheltered by a yellow awning. That's why all the pictures we took looked yellowish. :(

Dinar Seafood
Posted by jeny at 6:50 PM
3 weeks ago, we had dinner with several friends at Dinar seafood restaurant. The restaurant serves Makassar-style dishes. One of their specialty is ikan kudu-kudu bakar (it's a uniquely shaped fish that has a hard scale and grilled with spice in its stomach). So here's what we ordered : ikan kudu kudu bakar 40K, kepiting jantan lada hitam 70K, udang mayonaise 45K, kangkung belacan 12.5K, cumi saous XO 45K, sop kepala ikan 40K, and pete bakar (1 papan) 5K. Overall, all the dishes were impressive although the portion was not very big. I especially like the kudu-kudu fish, their sop kepala ikan was hot and tasty, it reminded me of Manado's sop ikan asam, combined with Thai's Tom Yam Kung. The crab was also superb with generous amount of black pepper. I love mixing my pete bakar with the black pepper and eat it with rice. It tasted heavenly :)

Warung Tengil
Posted by jeny at 7:08 PM
Warung TengilToday we tried this new restaurant called Warung Tengil at Kelapa Gading that serves Balinese suckling pig. I was so excited the first time I heard about this place because Balinese suckling pig is hard to find in Jakarta. the place was quite easy to find, not far from the big roundabout, and they put up a big smiling pink pig sign that is hard to miss. The interior makes us forgot that we're actually sitting in a shophouse. Decorated in warong style, with bamboo structures, exposed bricks wall, eccentric chandeliers, lots of paintings & brick flooring. I kind of like this place. :)

Tom Yum Mama Kitchen
Posted by jeny at 6:18 PM
Two weeks ago we were at Mangga Dua doing some errands, and I'm taking that opportunity to try the famous Tom Yum at Mama Kitchen ITC Mangga Dua. The stall was quite crowded at the time we arrive, but we still managed to get a seat. They served only tom yum, from tom yum kung super, seafood, with noodle/kwetiaw/rice to tom yum fried rice (with salted fish, prawn & pinneaple, seafood). So I ordered a bowl of tom yum seafood (very hot) with rice 20K with ice tea 2K. After waiting for a while the meal came, the soup color was so tempting, range of orange to red which could only mean one thing : the soup is super hot, with fresh seafood topped with cilantro makes this meal irresistible. I'm not sure if this meal was the authentic Thai cooking, but It surely delicious. :)

Bihun Bebek 75
Posted by jeny at 1:59 PM
Last week, SC drag me to tried Bihun Bebek 75 located at Pluit Sakti Raya, we heard that this place served 'duck beehon' with soup made from chinese herbs. So although we're still full from previous lunch at dapur umum & ragusa, we entered and ordered a portion of bihun bebek, the meal came with a bowl of beehon topped with steam duck slices, spring onnion & cilantro, the soup was put in separate bowl. I tried the soup first, since the soup smells so good, the soup itself was really delicious. next I tried to mixed the soup with the duck beehon, the meal was delicious, but the soup became a bit salty :)

Last weekend we visited Segarra at Pantai Carnaval Ancol. The place is perfect for hanging out with friends, enjoy sunset and have dinner with sea breeze. The design reminds me of a similar beach club called Ku De Ta at Seminyak - Bali, perfect for watching sunset. At 6PM Saturday night, the place was filled with nicely dressed people, we have to wait at the lounge for about an hour to get a table.

Bakmi Keriting Siantar 19
Posted by jeny at 9:43 AM
Last weekend I craved for Bakmi Keriting Siantar. A lot of noodle stalls claim that they sell this kind of noodle, but finding an authentic (and tasty) one is quite difficult. After asking a friend about this, SC took me to a restaurant at Muara Karang called "Bakmi Keriting Siantar 19" (still in the Muara Karang traditional market area) and we had a bowl of Bakmi Keriting Siantar 12K and Bihun Kari. It was very delicious. The minced meat was juicy & generous, the wonton was also not bad. I think we will be back again this weekend for more :)

Jun Njan Restaurant
Posted by jeny at 4:21 PM
About 2 months ago, Jun Njan opened their new branch at Pluit. So we decided to have a family lunch there. The place was quite crowded at lunch time, but fortunately we managed to get a table. I don't really like the interior design. It looks like that the designer was aiming for a minimalist look but ended up with numerous ill-suited chinese decorations. It makes the restaurant looks more crowded that it really is. So we ordered: ayam garam, fish, prawn, kepiting telur asin, tofu, and fried noodle. Overall the meal was OK, except the ayam garam was way too salty (the restaurant manager promised to remedy this), while the tofu and kepiting telur asin were delicious. We will visit this place again someday.

Coffee Tree
Posted by jeny at 10:37 AM
Last month we visited this small coffee shop located at Artha Gading Mall. We heard that this place was a serious coffee shop selling fresh roast and grind coffee. There were various choices of coffee from : traditional coffee (french pressed, vacuum brew, vietnamese style, black coffee, cafe au lait & kopi susu) to expresso based coffee, but since I'm not really a coffee lover, I only ordered a cup of chai milk tea 25K and Tiramisu 29K. The chai taste OK, although not as strong as i expected, but I surely love the tiramisu (soft, not too sweet, creamy and very aromatic coffee, cmiww), seeing that I only ordered a chai milk tea, the head barista approached us and suggested to brew us a single shot of cappucino to accompany my tiramisu. It was perfect, although I don't know much about coffee, I'm very impressed with this one. We will be back :)

This place was recommended by one of this blog's reader. From the menu, looks like they offer Singaporean hawker cuisine although there's several choices of Malaysian, Hongkong and Indonesian cuisine, so we ordered : 1 "mie pok" (flat egg noodle topped with minced meat and black mushroom) 13K and 1 "kwetiau siram telor" 12K. My "mie pok" came with a bowl of seaweed soup (love it so much). I don't really like the noodle since I think its a bit soggy, the "kwetiaw siram" was not bad, Overall the meal was good but most of all the price is really reasonable, I think we'll be back to try some other delicacies like : laksa bihun Singapore & fish cake :)

We had "Bakmi Bintang Gading" for dinner last week, its a famous meat noodle from Makasar (the capital of south Sulawesi/Celebes), the specialty here is Mie/Bihun Pangsit (not Halal), sop konro, sup buntut but besides that they also had several choices of Chinese food like : mie/bihun canton, hokkian, nasi hainam, nasi capcay, nyuk nyan. Several choices of nasi goreng : nasi goreng Ujung Pandang, Jakarta & Kepiting. Some beverages choices like : es palubutung, es kacang merah, es kelapa pandan etc. In my opinion the noodle was only so so, not that special. I think I still prefer 'Mie Lebar Bangka' than this one :)

Last week still curious about mie hing hwa, we got some information from our friend who is a "Hing Hwa" that there's several places also served "hing hwa" type noodle. So we went to muara karang, the restaurant was located next to a bridal salon own by a famous designer (forgot his name :p ). there's two type "hing hwa" noodle here : "mie heng hwa" and "mie heng hwa goreng", determined to tasted it we ordered both. In my opinion both of it tasted more delicious that the one at Sunter, the broth tasted more savory and the inggredient was vary : prawn, pork, mushroom, fish & chicken meatball and 'kacang goreng' sprinkled on top. too bad they didn't put fried seaweed on top of the noodle. when we asked them they said not many people favor it so they didn't put it in the noodle but we can asked for it if we want.

Several weeks ago I received an email from LING, she informed me about mie Hing Hwa located at sunter. From what I hear from SC, Hing Hwa is a dialect group that comes from Putian, China. So when we happen on the way to Sunter one day to visit our friends, I insisted to look for this restaurant. After a while we found this restaurant and went inside for lunch. We ordered Mie HingHwa (small) 20K and Kwe Tiau Hing Hwa (20K). the meal came in quite a big bowl full with handmade noodle with chicken, prawn, mushroom, vegetables and dried seaweed on top of the meal. Overall the meal was good although not too tasty. Thanks ya Ling for the recommendation.

RM Galung

We went to "RM. Galung" for lunch last weekend. This restaurant served an authentic food of Pematang Siantar : Nasi Galung (which is kind of "nasi rames/nasi padang" from North Sumatra ). I guess the meal had Malay influence but tasted hotter and spicier. Some of their speciality is "Ikan Pari Goreng", "Ikan Mayong", "Gulai Kepala Ikan". "Sop Sapi" . I tried their "miso ayam" (Medanese chicken noodle soup) too, and it was really delicious especially if you eat it with a glass of cold "liang teh" or "jus terong belanda" or "markisa". I used to have this kind of "nasi" back in my home town but never know that it was called "Nasi Galung" untill now. :)

Last week we visited "Sate Khas Senayan" located at Jl. Pakubuwono VI. Sate House Senayan served quite authentic Indonesian cuisine or maybe Javanese cuisine, the restaurant was separated between smoking & non smoking area, warm ambiance .. I think this kind of restaurant was suitable for friends/family gathering.

Sate Khas Senayan

That night we ordered : Appetizer Sampler (Sosis Solo, Risoles, Tahu Kipas, Rambak Petis) 34K/2Pax, Tahu Telur (fried bean-curd omelet) 14K, Gado Gado (vegetables with peanut sauce) 12K, Sate Kambing (Lamb Satay) 22K, Kambing Buntel (grilled minced lamb) 15K, Sate Manis Sapi (sweet beef satay) 24K, Sate Ayam (chicken satay) 16K and Cumi Telor Bakar (barbeque stuffed squid) 35K. In my opinion all the food was delicious, I especially like "Tahu Telor", its a "die die must try" dish every time I visit this place :)

Its different from the Chanoyu tea ceremony from Japan, it was more relaxed, encouraging all participants to speak freely with each other throughout.

Before we began. we ate some jajanan pasar ( traditional sweet cakes ) because some tea could not be taken with empty stomach. Then we gathered around the tea master, watching she began the ritual to brew a good tea : boiling fresh water in the brewing pot, rinse the teapot & cups by pouring hot water on it, adding the tea leaves & pour the boiled water to the tea cup and the transfered it to the serving cups. We tried so many kind of tea (more than 6) : Cinnamon Oolong (black dragon tea), Long Jing (dragon well green tea), Lychee Black Tea, Pu erh (fermented black tea), Bi Luo Chun (Green Snail Spring Tea), & my fav Ku Ding Cha (a very bitter green tea with an underlying sweet taste. The bitter taste wears off after the first sip followed by a pleasant sweet undertone).

Seafood WiroSableng 212
Posted by jeny at 11:22 AM
I had dinner with SC & his friends last weekend at "Seafood WiroSableng 212". The restaurant was located at Kelapa Gading Boulevard, after passing MKG (Mall Kelapa Gading), we start searching for 212 sign at the left side of the road, it should not be far from the mall, but we couldn't found it. so we decided to stop and asked the parking guard nearby. It turns out we already passing the place. the place now got no sign of 212. it only had a big "teh botol" billboard as the sign - thats why we didn't recognized it.

That night we ordered "Kepiting saos Jepang" (crab cooked in japanese sauce), Ikan Bakar (forgot what kind of fish we ordered), Gurame Goreng, "Kerang Hijau saos Padang" (green mussel cooked in padangnese sauce), "Kerang Darah rebus" (3 portion), "Kangkung" & "Toge cah polos". Our order came in 10 minutes (preety fast), The fish was delicious and fresh, the padangnese sauce was superb. forgot how much all this food cost, but if I'm not mistaken its about 250K (not very expensive of this kind of food). :)
