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 :)

Saung Rasane

Posted by jeny at 12:32 PM

Last month, SC and I try this 'hip' restaurant called Rasane at Taman Palem (also available at pessanggrahan), we already heard about this place for quite some times, but the high price made us hesitate to try it. Since its just the two of us, we only ordered 3 ounce kepiting asap telur 34.5K, kangkung lombok 19.5K, kerang darah rebus 15K, udang pancet telor asin 35K, steamed rice 4K, and es teh tawar 5K. The crab came in wrapped in banana leaf, it taste OK but not what I had in mind when I was thinking of smoked crab :) We do love their kangkung lombok and Udang pancet telor asin. I think we will be back to this place some other times to try their other specialties.

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.

Menega Cafe

Posted by jeny at 12:12 PM

On our way back from Uluwatu, we stopped by Menega Cafe at Jimbaran beach for dinner. This place was the target for Bali bombing II. I love this place so much. We had delicious dinner under the skies and we can also feel the warm sand on our feet. We ordered : 0.8kg grouper fish 40K and 0.65kg Crab 39K grilled in jimbaran style and orange juices 8K. The meal came with a plate of delicious plecing kangkung. The seafood was so delicious with 3 types of chili sauce for dipping.

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). :)

[CLOSED] Kerapu Kuah Asam

Posted by jeny at 04:35 PM

Yesterday we had lunch at Benhil Foodcourt, I urged my friends to go here since I was hoping we can eat Manado Style fish soup here. The foodcourt interior itself wasn't very nice, but who cares :P as long as I can have a delicious meal here hehehe... Actually the foodcourt serves very much variation from nasi liwet to seafood etc.

After seated, we ordered "Kerapu Kuah Asam" (Manado Style Sour Soup) from "Bobara : ikan panggang rica khas Manado", a plate of "Tahu Sumedang", and Es Kelapa Muda. The soup tasted very fresh, because it cooked after we ordered, and with a very reasonable price too :)
