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 09:05 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 08:58 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 08:04 AM

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 06:50 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 07:08 PM

Today 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 06:18 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 01:59 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 :)

Segarra

Posted by jeny at 09:43 PM

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 09:43 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 04:21 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 :)

Posted by jeny at 11:44 AM

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 :)

Bakmi Bintang Gading

Posted by jeny at 06:00 PM

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 :)

Nasi Udang Khas "Bu Rudy"

Posted by jeny at 08:00 PM

Last week I heard my friend said that "Bu Rudy" open her restaurant at Kelapa Gading at 10th March. Being a big fan of her famous "Sambal Bawang", I decided to hunt it down on weekend :P So I dragged SC to drove along 'boulevard raya' & finally we found the place, we entered and ordered "nasi udang empal khas Bu Rudy" 12.5K, "Rawon" 12.5K. The meal was served pretty fast, steamed rice topped with fried prawn, "empal" and "kremesan". before we eat, we have to put the "sambal bawang" on top of the dish. In my opinion it was the "sambal" that makes it so deliciously hot, according to SC the rawon was a bit "alot" :P We bought back 2 bottles of "Sambal Bawang" 8k each, and "nasi bali daging" 12.5K. I really didn't like the nasi bali, it was to sweet & really not what i had in mind when I ordered it :(

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.

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 Weekend we attended a "Gongfu Cha Ceremony" at Siang Ming Tea Shop. Gongfu Cha Ceremony is one of several kind "tea ceremony culture" from Taiwan. It is a way of preparing tea skillfully to produce and share a satisfying cup of tea. 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).

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). :)
