3.8Zhuma [ Senayan, Jepang ]
great casual japanese restaurant
One of my favorite restaurant in sency, moreover they still has that Panin Bank 50% discount promo. My dad's was craving for Zhuma's gyu amiyaki, it was a kind of teppanyaki beef that was served with teppan sauteed vegetables and fried garlic, their beef was really tender and literally melt in your mouth.Same goes with the Zhuma beef roll, the melt in your mouth beef was balanced well with the crunchy mushroom. The other dish that is a must try is kinoko foil yaki, basically it was mushroom broth, love their clean and refreshing taste. Their udon was a safe choice, love their tempura really like the fact that their batter was not that thick. Their fushion sushi roll was good enough, generous filling and huge rolls. Overall, I've always had nice experiences in zhuma, the only downside is they are quite pricey.

3.6Presotea [ Puri, Bubble Tea ]
hidden gem for tea lover
I have been passing this bubble tea parlor for many times already but I have never bring myself to try out their beverages and now I think I should've try their beverage sooner. I was hesitating whether I should ordered their fruity beverage or tea beverage, but when I saw 'wintermelon' I couldn't help to order wintermelon tea. I have always loves wintermelon and from couple of wintermelon beverages I've tried at different parlor, it has never gone wrong. Their wintermelon was good enough for me, it is different from other brand because it has stronger herbal fragrant and less sweet fragrant. Their bubble taste nice, love the chewy texture and subtle sweet flavor, it is one of the best bubble I've tried so far. I also got a chance to try my friend's panda milk tea and I think it will definitely suit tea lover taste-bud. Most of the milk tea I've tasted so far often has strong milk fragrant but in presotea's milk tea has a strong tea fragrant rather than milky flavor. Those who loves tea, especially traditional chinese tea flavor will find presotea more suitable for their taste.
I'll definitely be back to try their alishan tea and fruity beverages.

3.6The Legend Of Noodle [ Pantai Indah Kapuk, Korea ]
great jjajangmyeon alternatif
Sudah lama mau nyoba jjajangmyeon di legend of noodle tapi selalu malas mengingat tempatnya ada di senopati. Saya seneng banget waktu dia buka di PIK, sayang pas baru mau coba dia malah tutup lagi, sekarang sih sudah buka kembali di PIK jadi begitu ada waktu saya langsung melesat ke sana. Tempatnya cukup luas karena dia memakai 2 ruko, pelayannya juga sigap melayani customer. Hal lain yang jadi perahatian saya adalah kebersihan restorannya, saya senang melihat alat makannya baru diletakkan saat customer datang dan alat makannya pun direndam dalam air panas sehingga sangat terkesan higienis. Makanan yang saya pesan sudah pasti jjajangmyeonnya, karena saya tau biasa porsi jjajangmyeon tuh besar maka saya memutuskan untuk pesan satu porsi untuk sharing. Jjajangmyeonnya disajikan dengan cepat, seperti yang saya prediksi, porsinya cukup untuk sharing. Rasa jjajangmyeonnya cukup enak, sayang saus jjajangnya kurang pekat. Rasanya agak kurang asin untuk selera saya tapi masih bisa disesuaikan dengan kecap asin.
Satu hal yang mungkin bisa jadi masukkan lagi adalah banchannya, ketika saya makan saya diberikan kimchi sawi putih sebagai banchannya tetapi saya lebih suka jika jjajangmeyonnya disajikan dengan pickled radish (yang warna kuning itu) karena tekstur garing pickle nya cocok banget buat makan jjajangmyeon.Harga per orang: Rp. 50.000 - Rp. 100.000Makasih Infonya!Kamu belum login, klik di sini.

3.2BEAU by Talita Setyadi [ Thamrin, Kafe ]
pretty cakes, decent taste, small space
Had been passing this parlor for couple of times, really tempted by their pretty cake display. Me and my larent finally decide to sit for a while and I immediately think of beau. I descided to order their eclair (the caramel one), because at that time I was not really into pastry or chocolate cake. The eclair has hard yet nice crunchy texture, in addition it also has caramelized almond crunch on top of it. The caramel filling might be too sweet for most people, however I let it pass because the texture was really smooth and it has nice creamy caramel fragrant.
Actually, I also want to order the pandangan cake but I've tried the tester and it didn't really suit to my taste, the mung bean flavor is too overwhelming for me. Next time I think I am going to try their pastry and astrid cake.
Last but not least, their place is kinda small so it is not really comfortable for a long sit in maybe it is more suitable for a short stay.

4.2JJ Royal Bistro [ Senayan, Barat ]
Great cakes and macaroons!
I'm not really a cronut person so instead of their cronut we went to JJ royal for their cakes and macaroons.
The black velvet cakes is not like red velvet at all it taste a lot like black forest. It consists of dark chocolate cakes with nice fluffy texture with yummy cherry sauce (with real cherry bites), the bittersweet black chocolate really balanced well with the sweet-sour cherry sauce. The other great cake was the richie rich, really loves the praline concept with smooth chocolate shell and the silky caramel filling that compliment the crunchy base well.
From all the desserts we ordered, the red velvet and churos was rather disappointing. The red velvet was meh, it taste more like ordinary sponge cake that was lack of cream cheese. I am not really loving the churros either, the outside layer has nice crunchy crunchy but the inside is goey, feels like it was undercooked. Last but not least, the macaroons were really reall good! It has nice crunchy texture which was literally crumbling inside your mouth. Some of my favorite flavor were carmelo, pralissimo and tahiti.
Overall, great service, great ambiance and great dessert, definitely coming back for their macaroons.

2.2CHOCO CRO by St. Marc Cafe [ Senayan, Kafe ]
poor hygine great chococro
Tempted to try their infamous chococro but their place is not really comfotable for hangout place so we decided to order chococro for takeout. Actually I want to try their other pastry too, however I saw a fly on top a pastry inside their glass display and when I tell the staff they only shoo the fly away, they didn't take out the contaminated pastry. In the end I just try their chococro at home (after heated in oven), it was quite good, as expected. Love their cruchy pastry texture and milky fragant, plus their melted chocolate filling is to die for! However due to their poor higine, not sure that I will be back soon for their beverages or parfait.

4.2Seroeni [ Puri, China ]
Pleasant chinese peranakan dishes.
went here with my family last weekend and really satisfied with their dishes. First of all, I love the interior of seroeni, it has fushion urban art deco kinda feel to it. Their menu is kinda different from ordinary chinese restaurant, it has authentic peranakan twist with a lot of local ingredients combination such as balacan and so on. We ordered 3 dishes, steam stuffed tofu, balacan fried chicken, fried rice vermicilli and singapore crispy sotong. The serving time can be considered as long, we waited for more than 15 minutes for the dishes but thankfully all of the dishes were delightful. Their tofu dishes was steamed along side with cheese and minced chicken meat, the meat was not dry and balanced well with soft egg tofu. The fried rice vermicilli was good enough not too oily, it really gave a peranakan vibes. I also loves their balacan chicken, it was marinated well to the deep of their bones.
From all of the dishes, I especially loves the singapore crispy sotong the most! It kinda taste the same as c*ntr*al crispy fried squid, the squid was fried until it was super crispy and the texture goes well with their savoury sauce.
For the beverages, I was tempted by all of their variety but in the end I ordered their tea. It was kinda a let down for me, although that the snow ice on top of the tea has amazing creamy flavor but when it melts to the tea it tasted like ordinary sweet ice tea, maybe I'll just try their tea tarik next time. Overall, great option for those who seeks chinese cuisine with a bit of local taste to it.Harga per orang: < Rp. 50.000Makasih Infonya!Kamu belum login, klik di sini.

4.8Sana Sini Restaurant - Hotel Pullman Thamrin [ Thamrin, Indonesia, China, Jepang ]
extensive range of dish, superb service, decent dessert.
Finally get the chance to try international buffet at sana sini restaurant. It was located beside the lobby, with some seating extended to the lobby area. The interior is sleek and modern, really loving the ambiance produced with the support of their interior. I must admit that sana sini restaurant offers on of the most extensive range of international dish from japanese, western, chinese, indonesian, indian with lots of appetizer and dessert choices. Of course not of all the dish was perfect, some of them was really good but some of them were rather meh. First of all, their japanese, chinese and western dishes were mindblowing. I recognize that they offers more fresh sashimi variety than other buffet restaurant, the only one that I missed was the unagi (but at least they had octopus). Their tempura was also on point and so were their soba. The sirloin steak was one of the best, so far it was one of the best, it has nice juicy texture and well balanced seasoning. The pasta was also good, but I prefered freshly made pasta that can be customized. They also offers great peking duck with juicy texture and definitely no odor. I also love their dimsum, especially their pao / chinese bun, it has nice fluffy texture! On the other hand, their Indonesian and Indian food was meh, I have tasted better dishes at other buffet restaurant. Last but not least, let me rambling about their dessert, all of their dessert had a really appealing visual. However, their taste is not as pretty as their look. The taste was okay but I expected more, especially the red velvet is a complete let down. On the bright side, the icecream and sorbet was amazing! I really appreciate how they offer a lot of unique flavor such as toblerone or blood orange and unexpectedly each of them was really good. I especially loves all of their sorbet, they all taste refreshing without too much flavor additive.
overall, satisfying AYCE experience, two thumbs up for sana sini resto! Moreover, the service was excellent, all the staff are attentive, they will never let your water glass empty.Harga per orang: < Rp. 50.000Makasih Infonya!Kamu belum login, klik di sini.1 pembaca berterima kasih.

3.4Fook Yew [ Thamrin, China ]
decent food, great urban ambiance
Not really into western food lately so when I went to GI, me and my friend decided to pay fook yew a visit. We ordered two ala carte menu, meng gu fried dory and ngo hiang alongside with a charsiew chicken bun. The charsiew bun looks unappetizing at first but it unexpectedly taste good. The charsiew chicken was not too sweet, it goes really well with the soft and fluffy bun. Their ngohiang (that my friend recommended) was unexpectedly great, although it used chicken meat it was not dry at all and their sweet sauce complement the savoury meat well. The menggu fried dory was quite spicy and peppery for my taste, but it still bearable to eat with rice though.
One thing that left me disappointed is their chinese tea. We ordered oolong tea, but it didn't taste oolong at all, it has strong chlorine odor that overpower the oolong fragrant. Maybe I'll just order their bubble tea next time, their bubble tea was quite good!Menu yang dipesan: charsiew chicken bun, menggu fried dory, ngo hiang

3.6Born Ga [ Puri, Korea ]
decent but pricey
decent korean bbq, quite pricey for its range. I went here last weekend for dinner with my family. We were not too hungry so we only ordered samgyeopsal, dweji galbi and japchae. They served couple of side dishes / banchan, they were okay, but not memorable enough. I forget to order the spicy one, so we ended up with original samgeyopsal. The samgyeopsal here is not thick, it is rather thin and because it wasn't marinated, it tastes bland without gochujang. The other meat that we order was dweji galbi / pork ribs (without bones), it was marinated and it taste alright, not too sweet. On the other hand, their japchae is really good, one of the best so far. It has nice texture with great balance of savoury and sweetness.
Overall, decent korean restaurant with decent korean bbq. In my opinion, born ga is overpriced, I can get the same decent taste with bigger portion elsewhere, maybe next time I need to try their woo sangyup.Menu yang dipesan: sampgyeopsal, dweji galbi, japchaw
