Depot 369
Posted by jeny at 9:56 AM
Two months ago, as we were passing Mangga Besar street while looking for a place to eat, I spotted a place bearing a small sign "Depot 369, Shanghai Dumpling & Noodle". It got us interested and we decided to give it a try. The restaurant's interior and ambiance look quite promising, except for the fact that there's no non-smoking section. We ordered a bowl of Mie Kou Rou (noodles topped with soy braised pork meat) 29K. It was delicious. The next time, we went to their branch near Kedoya's Food Hall with a friend and I ordered their Mie Sop Shanghai (Shanghai noodle soup) 40K. It was disappointingly bland, but SC offered to swap my order with his Song Mie (Song noodle) 24K, which tasted much better. I have a feeling that the Mangga Besar branch offered better tasting noodle, so we went back there again a couple of days ago and ordered the classic wonton noodle 21K and Martabak Tiongkok 15K. The wonton noodle was good, but not as good as the Mie Kou Rou. I found the Martabak Tiongkok to be a bit bland, but SC loved it because the spice was not too overpowering. :)

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.

Bihun Siram Picis
Posted by jeny at 5:03 AM
Not far from Nasi Ulam Misjaya, there's a small place bearing the sign PICIS. I remembered that someone said Picis is famous for its burung dara goreng (fried pigeon). However, I also heard that the price for that delicacy is unreasonably high, so I didn't dare to order it. Instead, I ordered a portion of bihun siram to take home. A portion of bihun siram cost about 30K, also quite pricey, but I think it was worth it since they put in some prawns, meat, pork's liver and intestines in the topping. The rice noodle was cooked until it was a bit burnt, then they cooked the thick soup full of green vegetables and meat. They packaged the rice noodle and thick soup in separate wrappers so I can mix it later when I got home. The aroma was quite fragrant as they cooked and I have high hope for the dish. Yet when I tasted it, I noticed a little sour taste in the thick soup, which is weird for me. The chili sauce was also a bit sour. I'm not sure whether the dish is supposed to taste like that or not, but I didn't like it.

Mie Goreng Kucai 35
Posted by jeny at 7:17 AM
From Ibu Kacamata, we went to the other side of Senen Flyover. Located near the distinctive Wayang Orang Bharata building, there's an old restaurant bearing the name Bakmi Kucai 35. It is a typical old Chinese eatery, a bit shabby but we wanted to try it as we've heard rave reviews about this place. We ordered a plate of Bakmi Kucai (medium) 17.5K to share among the four of us. They asked us whether we wanted to have lap cheong (Chinese pork sausage) in the noodle and we nodded enthusiastically. When it came, we were amazed at the generous portion. It was enough for 2 hungry men. Luckily we've only ordered one portion. The noodle is undoubtedly one of the best fried noodle I've ever tasted. It was delicious, a bit sweet, but not too overpowering. Too bad the location is quite far so we can't go there regularly. :)

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. :)

Bakmie Tiong Sim
Posted by jeny at 12:49 PM
That afternoon, we decided to only have a light dinner, so we chose a noodle stall located at Jl. Bogor called Tiong Sim that can be reached by foot from our hotel. Actually, Tiong Sim noodle stall is also open at Jl. Selat Panjang, but a friend told us that the one at Jl. Bogor tasted better. We ordered a portion of wonton noodle 19K. I have to admit that the noodle was tasty and delicious (I don't know whether this is due to MSG or not, but I didn't feel thirsty afterwards). The wonton also tasted good. :)

Mee Kangkung Belacan
Posted by jeny at 10:57 AM
After Mie Hokkian Perdana, we went to Brastagi supermarket and then headed to Pasar Rame. Pasar Rame/Ramai is a traditional 2-story market where many authentic Medanese dishes, such as he chi, pi oh, stir fried noodles, various types of asinan buah, es campur are sold on the first floor and the second floor is used for selling clothes a la Mangga Dua in Jakarta. Dragging SC with me, I walked around the second floor to find some clothes. After I finished shopping, my stomach has already felt rather empty. We searched for the famous Mee Kangkung Belacan (stir fried noodles with kangkung AKA water convolvulus and fermented prawn). We found it in one of the food stalls in front of the market, besides mee kangkung, they also have various Chinese dishes. I ordered a portion of mee kangkung and dug happily into the noodle when it cames. The noodle was topped with prawn, fish ball, pork sausages (lap cheong), kangkung, and drenched in terasi sauce. The noodles have the right texture and the ingredients were fresh. It was also quite spicy. In short, it was a delicious meal. I forgot how much exactly we paid for the dish, but I'm sure its not more that 20K. :)

Mee Hokkien Perdana
Posted by jeny at 1:02 PM
From Tip Top, we continued to a noodle stall on Perdana street. According to our friend, this place serves delicious Hokkien noodle with more reasonable price than another famous noodle stall (Hok Seng if I'm not mistaken). We ordered a portion of noodle to share while our friend ordered black coffee from the kopi tiam. The noodle was delicious, egg noodle topped with prawn, fish ball, prawn ball (he keng), squid, chicken/pork meat with some green vegetables, spring onion & fried shallot. The soup was also good compared with so many so so no taste soup served by other noddle stalls. :)

Ramen 38
Posted by jeny at 4:34 PM
Last month, when I was meeting SC around Sarinah for dinner, we stopped by Ramen 38 that serves authentic Japanese noodle. Ramen 38 at Wahid Hasyim is the smaller branch from the one located at Melawai street, in the 2nd floor of the same building that house Kamome Japanese Supermarket. We ordered the usual: Tonkotsu Ramen (pork bone broth soup ramen served with pork slices, wakame and topped with nori). In my opinion, the ramen at Melawai tasted better than this one. I think this ramen was too salty, but maybe that night was not my lucky night.

Pasta De Waraku
Posted by jeny at 10:54 PM
pasta de waraku

Last month, a restaurant chain opens its first restaurant at Grand Indonesia. The place is called "Pasta the Waraku", a franchise from Singapore, serving all kinds of pasta in Japanese style. When we arrived there on a friday night, there was already a small queue in front of the restaurant. So we took our number and waited for about fifteen minutes. The restaurant is located on a section of Grand Indonesia that is called the garden district, which is heavily decorated in Japanese style. However, the decorations felt weird and the section is dark with several spotlights punctuating the decorations. As for the restaurant itself, it isn't big, but cleverly arranged, with good lighting and mirrors blanketing the walls, making the restaurant seems much larger. The front display shows a very attractive real size menus, plus they separate the smoking and non smoking sections.

Mangkok Ayam

From Tizi, we moved to Setiabudhi Supermarket, which is also known as supermarket bule because they sell mostly imported goods. We're planning to have dinner later at some place around Ciumbuleuit. After wandering for a while, I spotted a unique place next to Periplus books store.It is a small kiosk called Mangkok Ayam (chicken bowl). The interior is warm, dominated with wood, and there are chickens all over the place, from the dinnerware to the wallpaper & even printed on the lighting. I'm in love with this place instantly.

Ting An
Posted by jeny at 7:48 PM
This place is one of SC's favorite place. Located at Taman Palem Lestari - West Jakarta, served Jambinese noodle. they served 2 types of noodle : tamie kecil and tamie lebar in various size (regular, regular with double topping, big, big with double topping & with soup), they also served kwetiau & bihun. We usually only ordered the regular portion (11K) plus one bowl of pangsit ikan (15K), the noodle came with a bowl of broth soup (fish & meat). What make this noodle special is we can add several condiment to the noodle and soup to enhanced the taste. I usually mixed it with a little black vinegar, fish sauce, chilli sauce, and chilli slices. and it tasted so delicious, but some times too much chilli makes my stomach hot all day long. :p

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 :)

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 :)

Bihun Bebek Beijing
Posted by jeny at 12:23 PM
Last Friday, we're planning to have dimsum with some friends at Ah Yat, but when we arrive at the Golden Boutique Hotel around lunch time, it was filled with people, and the waiter outside the restaurant informed us that the Dimsum menus were already sold out. We decided to go to ITC Mangga Dua and have our lunch there instead. Since it was 2 days before Eid-ul Fitri, some of the eateries there were closed. Fortunately, we found a place called Bihun Bebek Beijing that was still open. We got a table and started to eat everything put in front of us as we were very hungry. There were bakso ikan & talas goreng, 4 packs of tape singkong @3K, 6 portions of bihun bebek @26K, 2 portions of nasi kari, 1 roti cane + kari kambing 20K, 2 portions of rujak @15K, 10 glasses of liang teh. Overall, the meal was delicious, but we were quite shocked when we paid as it was quite pricey. I don't know whether this was because the coming Eid-ul Fitri made the raw materials expensive or because this place does have a higher price tags.

Lately, I often find myself visiting this place. It is located on Jl. Sunda (next to ATL Hayam Wuruk & Bakmi Gajah Mada). When I first heard about this place, I was thinking of a place with chinese interiors, but I was surprised when I entered the building. It is chic & cool, bit white with minimalist design. It has murals painted on the wall, white & pink furniture and high ceiling. I instantly fell in love with the decor. (plus they have a fast & free wifi, and let us sit there for hours )

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 :)

Nan Xiang @ Mall Taman Anggrek
Posted by jeny at 6:45 PM
Several weeks ago, we had late lunch at NanXiang restaurant located at the top floor of Mall Taman Anggrek. Since I was so hungry, we didn't order their specialty (xiao long bao), but ordered 1 portion of "Mapo Tofu" 38K and 1 portion of "fried prawn in salted egg yolk" 45K with several bowl of rice. In my opinion the dish was not bad at all, the mapo tofu, although not as spicy as I thought, is still acceptable lah, and the fried prawn was delicious and it came in a very reasonable price. I think this place's price is cheaper than nanxiang at lagoon tower or Senayan City.

Last month we went with JalanSutra in "Tour Keju Gouda van Soekaboemi" located at Bukit Baros - Sukabumi. after that we were given some time to explore the town. While the others are going to the market, we were heading to RA Hakim street to try the famous "mie cinco". The banner outside the place was quite misleading: "Mie Ayam Cinco", when we order 4 bowl of "mie lebar", we were asked for what we would like for the topping : chicken or roast pork (we choose roast pork). The noodle came in quite a big portion and very generous roast pork on top of it. Try mix it with the hot chili sauce, it tasted so delicious. we bought 2 more portion back to the bus, but the noodle became quite sticky when its cold, but still taste delicious :)

We ordered xiao long bao 24K and a bowl of La Mian Cha Chiang 32K and a pot of Chinese tea. If the lamian was nothing special, the xiao long bao was really delicious. I guess We'll be back next time only to try their xiao long bao again.

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.

Last Weekend, we decided to stopped by this place for supper :P from the name you could guess that this place specialty was Bakmi Kepiting, so we ordered 2 portion Bakmi Kepiting and 1 Nasi Goreng Kepiting. Surprisingly the noodle & nasi goreng was so delicious. The crab was generous. Especially my fried rice, the fried rice it self tasted so delicious, and I can't help thinking that this was too good to be Halal. and after we questioned the owner, my guess was right. It was not Halal.

Posted by jeny at 11:09 AM
I've been looking for to visit this place a long2 time ago. So 2 weeks ago after watching "over the hedge", we went here for lunch. its very crowded at lunch time when we arrived, we ordered "Hokkian Lo Mie" & "Bakmie Ayam Pangsit", the noodle texture is different, they used a fat & wide noodle. but tasted delicious.

Bihun Kari Ayam Tabona
Posted by jeny at 11:27 AM
Last weekend, before going to "ya-udah" bistro, SC & I were heading to Pluit to try "Bihun Kari Ayam" Tabona. I had tasted its original "bihun kari ayam" in Medan a couple of months ago. When we heard that there's is a restaurant called Tabona in Pluit, we decided to give it a try.

So we ordered "Bihun Kari Ayam" 21K with a glass of "sirop terong belanda" 11K, the taste was actually not bad, but SC reckons that the price was not worth it and he prefer Bihun Kari Ayam we had at RM Kosasih - pasar muara karang. Moreover, the curry is not as rich as the original version in Medan.

Noodle Tasting
Posted by jeny at 2:07 PM
We visited 3 different chinese restaurant at MTA last week and tried 3 kind of noodle they served. The first restaurant was "Noodle Cafe" - very crowded, we ordered "egg noodle with wonton & roast duck" (21.5K) , have to waited for half an hour just to know they put the wrong order on our table :( the food taste was not very special, not recommended lah :(

Then we decided to go down and visited "Canton Bay" and ordered "Dry Noodle with Lo Duck and Lo Pork" (24K), it tasted much better than the first one, good service too :).

After that we noticed that there is a new restaurant opening called "Huang Ting", operated under the same management with "The Duck King" and "Imperial Chef", so we decided to tried it next time we go to MTA, last night we came there and ordered "Noodle Soup with Shui Jiau Wonton"(26K). not bad - for that price, the noodle texture was perfect.. mmm after that we ordered "Xiao Long Bao"(16.8K).. delicious... i'll be back hehehe :),

Mangkok Putih : the noodle bar
Posted by jeny at 12:26 PM

Last night we had dinner at Mangkok Putih located at Setiabudi Building. The restaurant was decorated in the usual cafe decoration with a touch of red accent. I don't really like the place setting, I think it's a little bit too crowded, no separation between smoking and no smoking area. :(

After seated we ordered 2 Duck Noodle(27K), Tempura Udon(35K), MP Fried Seafood Kweteow (26K), MP Fruit Cocktail (10K), Lime Squash(12.5K), Lime Juice(12.5K) and Guava Juice(12.5). One of the house speciality that we ordered last night was "Duck Noodle", I agree that the duck was delicious, but the rest of our order didn't taste very special. mmm I ate at Mangkok Putih @ Cilandak Town Square once, and I think their food quality is better than this one.

A day @ Medan
Posted by jeny at 9:47 AM

Last saturday, the first thing pop in my head after we arrived at Medan, North Sumatra is where are we going to have lunch. I insisted my Mom to take me to "Bakmie Kumango". So We headed there, and I ordered my usual plate of "Chicken Noodle" while my Mom ordered "Chicken Hainamnese Rice". The noodle is not as delicious as I remembered, maybe because of my high expetation. but It still the best noodle I have ever taste. Bon Apetit :)

After lunch we headed to "Pasar Ramai". Its a popular traditional market in Medan, Lots of foods (off course :)) and other goods hehehehe. After we circling the market for about 1 hour, I felt thirsty. So we stopped at some food stall and ordered Es Sekoteng, Es Cendol and He Ci (fried prawn, tofu, kangkung served with sour and sweet sauce). mmm... quite good. Actually there is still alot of food available there, such as e-mie, wonton noodle, nasi campur etc, but since I just had lunch I can't ordered them all hehehehe...
That night on my way back home to my hometown "Kisaran" (about 3-4 hours from Medan), We stopped at "RM 100", located at Jalan raya Medan Kisaran km 100. This is quite a popular restaurant according to my mom, they served alot variety of seafood for us to choose. So We ordered "Grilled Bawal Fish", "Grilled Pare Fish", Udang Tauco (stir fried prawn with fermented soybean sauce), and "Cah Kangkung". mmm not bad... Selamat Makan :)
