3.0Salt Inc. [ Green Ville ]
Another Option for Salted Egg Dish
Salted Egg Chicken Rice with Mozarella and Sunny Side Up. My first thought was it's just another salted egg kind of dish. You know, for some reason everyone keeps making salted egg menu. But yeah, they put a little spin on it. Melted cheese on top and runny egg yolk aside.
I didn't pay for this, but I won't make a fake review. As I always say, I give an honest opinion. The chicken was super tender and flavorful (I tried the fish, squid and shrimp, for me the chicken was clearly the winner). The mozarella was soso (not a big fan of cheese, so my opinion completely biased on this). The egg yolk was runny, and tasted good. How about the salted egg sauce? I'm gonna say it's mediocre. It's not bad, but it just tasted like another salted egg sauce, nothing stand out from that sauce.
After few bites, I just realized they did give chili and lime leaves. I took both, mixed them with runny egg yolk and the salted egg chicken. Introduce a surprising flavor. For me, the lime leaves made a huge impact on the dish. Just make sure you get the lime leaves if you happen to try this.Menu yang dipesan: Salted Egg Chicken Rice

2.8Bubur Ayam Mangga Besar 1 [ Mangga Besar, Indonesia ]
Over rated and pricey
Ayam Rebus. It tasted good but it's not the best steamed chicken I've ever tried. The chicken was lean, tender and juicy. They also put some ginger and sesame oil aside to enhance the flavor out. Oh, if you look closely, there's brown colored chicken behind. That's the fried chicken. It was the first time I tried their fried chicken, and it tasted good but not as good as the steamed one. Well, my friends prefer the fried one to the steamed one. So it's just a matter of preferences.
The place itself is quite good actually. Clean and full air-con. But, let me be honest. I come for the food, so I prefer bubur angke in THI than this one. Matter of fact, I believe Bubur Angke has the best steamed chicken I've ever had. Very pungent and super tender. Their porridge is sweet from the chicken bone. But here, it tasted just like regular porridge with some pulled chicken inside. Nothing stand out.
So yeah, for the place itself, Bubur Mangga Besar clearly win the competition. But from the taste aspect, Bubur Angke gonna kick Mangga Besar's ass.Menu yang dipesan: Ayam Rebus

4.8OPEN Restaurant - DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Jakarta [ Cikini, Barat,Italia,Indonesia,China ]
For the record, it's buffet. So you might not find this when you come.
The chicken had strong rosemary taste. Not only the skin, the meat inside had a pungent rosemary hint. Even it had been sitting for quite a while, it still tasted good, juicy and not dry at all. They also had red and white sauce. The red sauce was weird, but the white sauce was good. Slightly sweet, salty and creamy. I did like the white sauce, but it tasted better to eat the chicken without the sauce. Just pure juicy chicken with rosemary fragrant.
One of the best buffet restaurant. The attention to detail is high, the quality of the food is good. Unlike most of buffet restaurants, they never compromise.Menu yang dipesan: rosemary chicken

4.2Pvblic Kitchen and Bar [ Pantai Indah Kapuk, Barat ]
Tower of goodness
Pork Knuckle. Super crispy pork knuckle served with honey mustard and spicy sauce. The pork itself was super good, no sauce needed. 3 different texture with mind blowing taste. The meat was succulent., juicy fat and super crispy skin. Obviouly the skin was the best one. The skin just cracking and popped in my mouth. Pork-gasm guaranteed.

3.4Hygge Coffee [ Pluit, Kafe ]
Mint overload
Chocomint Frappe. Strong mint flavor. Do you remember mentos's spearmint flavor? It tasted quite similar. Refreshing mint flavor and creamy chocolate. I do admit the ambiance was super comfy and the service was superb.

3.4Toby's Estate [ Pantai Indah Kapuk, Kafe ]
This is not for everyone. If you don't like spices, stay away.
Chai Chocolate. I've tried chai tea, but chai chocolate? Tea, spices, cocoa and steamed milk. How to describe it, it's my first time trying chai chocolate. So light, slight herbaly, very smooth and creamy. It's so unique, I was so pleasantly surprised.

3.6Lamian Palace [ Thamrin, China ]
Cheap yet tasty pao
Black Sesame Pao. Soft bun and hot melted black sesame liquid thingy. That's my thing! It's deep and velvety. First I tried the salted egg pao and I thought yeah, it's quite good. But this, gonna make that taste like crap. And it's surprisingly cheap. Just come and order this one. You're all set.

3.2Xiao La Guo [ Muara Karang, China ]
Have you tried sichuan peppercorn? This place has quite a good one.
Mala Xiang Guo. Huge selection of ingredients. Fish ball, shrimp ball, fish cake, chikuwa, beef meat, ribs, shrimp, ham, crab stick, small crab claw, sliced potato, lotus root, baby corn, bean curd, mushroom, lots variation of veggies, and many more.
I did take several kind of balls, chikuwa, bean curd, beef, small crab claw, potato, lotus root and noodle. I've tried mala hot pot in SG and this tasted similar. Not exactly the same but close. The tingling sensation from the sichuan peppercorn was dope. And their secret base sauce was rich.Menu yang dipesan: Mala Xiang Guo

4.0Go Katsu [ Thamrin, Jepang ]
I don't get it. Why this place has a low rating point. It's decent taste and super affordable esp in GI
Chicken Katsu Spicy Nabe. Not your ordinary katsu dish. They used egg on top and put the katsu right into the spicy broth. Obviously the katsu lost its crispiness but not a big deal. The batter absorb the spicy broth and It tasted good. Powerful broth with huge impact of eggy flavor. I'd never expected it to be this cheap, 40K and I got this big portion of nabe, miso, crackers and rice. Super affordable and price-wise, totally worth it.

5.0Sushi Taka [ Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jepang ]
This sushi place blew my mind
Taka Grande Salmon Moriwase. Great presentation I must admit, big plate with 8 pillars to hold the salmon moriwase. Aburi salmon, aburi salmon cheese, aburi salmon mentai, aburi salmon foie gras, salmon kani mayo, salmon avocado, salmon ikura, salmon negi maki, salmon sashimi, salmon belly sashimi, salmon kani salad and salmon carpacio.
When I knew they present their sushi with an unique presentation to attract customer, I made a negative stereotype. The taste's gonna be mediocre. You know the place where they use 'train' to deliver your food right? To be honest, I totally hate that place, high price with low quality taste. At least that what I tasted that time. Okey, I should stop saying crap. Back to this moriwase, I love it! Not only the cool gimmick, they actually served great sushi. I thank you for breaking that negative stereotype.
I loved everything, I really mean it. The salmon tasted fresh and sweet. Here's my top 3 menu.
- Aburi Salmon Foie Gras. The aburi salmon was super fragrant. I barely tasted the foie gras flavor, but the texture was 100% there. That melt-in-your-mouth sensation was dope.
- Salmon Carpacio. Fresh salmon sashimi soaked in wafu sauce and sesame dressing, they also put mentai sauce on top. The sesame dressing sauce was so strong and kinda overwhelm the other sauce. I love sesame so much, so it's good for me. I barely tasted the mentai so the mentai was not necessarily needed.
- Salmon (and belly) Sashimi. Big and thick slab of sashimi, that's it. It's almost 3 times thicker than sushi ***. If you know which franchise I'm talking about.Menu yang dipesan: Taka Grande Salmon Moriwase
