Beef Teriyaki Bento. I got rice, beef teriyaki, 1 chicken karaage, 1 ebi tempura, 3 sliced salmon sashimi, simple salad and miso soup. The beef teriyaki was a bit chewy but still enjoyable. The chicken karaage and ebi tempura were tender and crunchy. The salmon sashimi was MEH! The salmon was dry and not sweet at all, in other word, tasteless. HOWEVER, *OMG I can't believe I'm saying this*, the salad was superb! They use sesame dressing on the salad. Love the aroma and the flavor of that dressing. Usually I'm not gonna eat the veggies but this one went down too fast and way too easily. It's the flavor you want to linger in your mouth as long as possible.

Seafood Plater for 1. Grilled prawn, grilled squid, fried dory, french fries and paella. The amazing presentation that you see here looks exactly like it does on the menu.The squid and paella were really the star of the show. The squid was a bit chewy, I mean like enjoyable chewy. The paella was nothing to compare for. Rich in flavor and tons of spices. To sum it up, a solid plate of seafood.

Banana Nutella Pancake. Need something healthy and sweet at the same time? This dessert is the answer. Airy pancake with vanilla ice cream on top. Where is the healthy part? Take a closer look. They use berry, banana and granola as condiment. Not only make it healthier, but also pretier.
Since I bought their signature coffee beans, I ordered something different to accompany me to enjoy their exquisite ambiance. A simple flavoured latte. They have huge choices of flavor. Caramel, hazelnut, mint, rhum, tiramisu and vanilla. Obviously I choose rhum. Not only because I love rhum, but where the hell you gonna find this kind of flavor in Jakarta. *If you know one, let me know.

Beef Plater. Texas beef ribs BBQ, beef back ribs, roasted beef brisket and turkey bacon potato served with watercress salad. I think it can be shared up to 4 persons.
There's nothing special with the turkey bacon potato. Creamy potato wrapped with bacon. The bacon was good but thats it. No turkey taste or whatsoever. The roasted beef brisket was tender with slightly smoky flavor. The beef back ribs was great, especially for those who love to gnaw the bone like me. There is no glamourous way to eat this.
The texas beef ribs was the star of the whole plate. Super tender, rich in BBQ flavor, very clean and leave no aftertaste flavor on your tongue. It's super tender and you need no knife at all, you can just pull it off with your fork. This was one of life's finer pleasures. Superb.

Nala Bomb. Frozen espresso in a shape of ball, sweet hot chocolate and plain milk. Basically it's mocha. The espresso was good. A bit bitter, slightly sour and bold. The chocolate was sweet, a bit too sweet for my taste but still acceptable. The trick is to pour the hot chocolate into the espresso ball to melt and add sweet flavor. When you think that you use too much chocolate and it becomes overly sweet, you can pour the plain milk to neutral it again.

Salted Egg Yolk Lava Croissant. Still the best salted egg croissant in Jakarta. A bit creamy and salty egg yolk, crisp dough and the best part was the richness of the salted egg wasn't overpowering the sweetness of the dough. FYI, they sell it with super reasonable price. Sorry to say, tried the pull pork sandwich and it's a crap. Once again, it's based on my preferences. You don't have to trust it, I still encourage you to try it. Overall, I think I'll still come back.... but for this croissant alone.
