For some reason most, if not all the menu smell like truffles (despite not having truffle in the description). This is good news if you like truffle but quite detrimental if you, like my mother, heavily dislike the scent.

Wagyu Katsu Sando (138k) 6/10
Really nice sando with wagyu beef, caramelised onion, pickles, and cheese, with fries on the side. Beef tasted quite juicy (still kinda tough to chew though) and bread was nicely toasted.

Beef Wagyu Tenderloin Grade 5 (499k) 6/10
Meat quality could be higher taking into account the price point. Served with choice of potato, mushroom, grilled veggies, and thyme jus. Just okay for me.

Ricotta Gnudi (118k) 6.5/10
Gnocchi made with ricotta and grana panada sauce alongside bacon, chickpeas, and mushroom. Ordered this because it sounded unique and ended up being our fave. Creamy but there’s enough crunch from bacon and chickpeas to prevent it from being too eneg.

Meat Lover Pizza (158k) 6/10
Interesting take on your classic meat lover pizza. Served with sirloin steak on top with base of bolognese beef and sprinkles of pepperoni. Meat was quite tender, pizza dough was fine, couldn’t really taste the bolognese though.

Dessert Platter (158k) 4.5/10
Mini size of their normal desserts. Include blueberry panna cotta, varlhona chocolate cake, gateau mousse, and strawberry club sandwich. Really nice presentation but not worth it since everything tasted below my expectation.

Cocktails
We got the Black Box and Pistachio Matcha. I remember both tasting quite strong, prefer the pistachio matcha as it taste quite unique (bitter, sweet, and tangy at the same time). Quite good cocktails overall.

Lemongrass Salmon Bumbu Genep (155k) ⭐️8/10
The best menu out of what we got.
Salmon was grilled nicely with fragrant lemongrass smell. Uduk risotto had rich creamy flavour that was balanced with the spiciness of sambal creme.

Prawn Linguine (85k) 6.5/10
Linguine cooked with grilled prawn and jimbaran sauce. Pasta was a bit overcooked imo. Am allergic to shrimp so didn’t try the protein. The jimbaran sauce tasted more like opor sauce to me.

Fish Tartar Sandwich (75k) 6/10
Deep fried cod with spicy tartar sauce. Tasted like normal tartar though, not spicy at all. Romaine and cabbage were plenty and fresh, but fish was not as crispy as I’d hoped. Really good value for money since you get two big sandwich.

New restaurant in Alam Sutera with intriguing Japanese-Australian and dry bar concepts. Heard mixed reviews from friends and families but based on my visit, both the foods and drinks did not match my preference. Also, food took very long to be served despite the place being somewhat empty during my visit.

Honey Roasted Pumpkin Eggs Benedict (88k) 5/10
My main impression from this dish was that it lacked seasonings, even the salt and pepper were lacking. Also waited 1 hour for this (maybe cause of the baked pumpkin) but weirdly it came out cold? Bread was super dry and hard I could not finish eating it.

Aussie Big Brekkie (108k) 5/10
A classic breakfast menu with a twist. The spinach beef pancake was interesting idea but sausage was not seared enough (honestly it looked raw if you look at the picture). Sourdough bread was also very tough. The rest of the dish (tomato, mushroom, etc) was alright but bland. Portion was huge so suitable for sharing.

A not so hidden gem in Hotel Atlet Senayan with Kyoto-esque designs. Foods tasted okay overall, good but not wow. Seems like I should’ve ordered their kushiyaki and ishiyaki instead.

Mochi Yaki (53k) 6/10
Had high expectation cause I’ve seen people raving about this. There’s a nice smokiness from the grilled mochi, however it came cold so mochi was tough to chew. I prefer Kei Dining’s over this one.

Sashimi Mori (198k) ⭐️8/10
One of the loveliest presentation for sashimi platter. Good variety of fishes with quite thick cuts. I like that they gave us more than salmon and tuna (I think we got mackarel, squid, and hamachi).

Uo Kara Nabe Small (108k) 5.5/10
Fish tasted off (what we call ‘bau tanah’), even though it was fried first. Tofu and veggies were fresh. Soup itself tasted okay (you can request the spicy level) if slightly too salty. Quite big portion for small size though.

Salad Wrap Dewa Dewi Kids (28k) + Extra Cheese and Jalapeno (11k)

The additional cheese and jalapeno seem to be a gimmick to me and in fact made the wrap hard outside and soggy inside.

Taste wise, I could see them trying to create a new local salad profile, but the bakso was really unidentifiable amidst the vegetables. Overall, I prefer other salad joint in town.

Under the same management as Turkuaz, Warung Turki provides an array of Turkish fares alongside shisha lounge and music performance.

Kuzu Incik Hunkar Begendi (425k) ⭐️8.5/10
Lamb shank with pureed aubergine and mozzarella cheese. Possibly the best lamb I’ve had in Jakarta, not gamey at all, well marinated, fall of the bone tender, juicy, and succulent. The aubergine reminded me of baba ganoush (one of my go to dips) plus some mozzarella cheese. Minus for being too salty though.

Pide (130k) ⭐️ 8/10
Feta cheese, mozarella, parsley in a boat shaped flat bread. Reminds me of pizza but better as the curled dough edge was crispier and there’s more filling to bread ratio vs traditional pizza. Feta provided nice salty-briny cheese profile while mozzarella gave milky creaminess, rounded off by fresh parsley.

Dana Lahmacun (130k) 7/10
Similar to Pide, Lahmacun is also flat bread with ground meat topping, but it has round shape and is typically much thinner vs pide. The beef itself was mixed with seasonings such as onions, tomatoes, paprika, and cumin. Wanted to pick other option vs lamb but beef was so-so.

Fatoush Salad (105k) ⭐️8/10
Very fresh and refreshing. Veggies were fresh, fried pita/khubs gave nice crunch, and generous amount of feta on top. Good side for the heavier mains we got.

Coban Tava (185k) 6/10
Lamb stew with tomato and garlic, served with pide ekmegi. Reminds me of soupier version of shakshouka (minus the egg), meant to be dipped using the bread. Also too salty.

Kunefe (110k) 7.5/10
Phyllo pastry filled with stringy cheese and soaked in syrup. This was served pipping hot, which helps to tone down the sweetness. I particularly enjoy the crispy outer crust in contrast to the shredded phyllo texture. Generous pistachio crumbles as well. Good dessert but still prefer Mardin’s.

Ayran (62k) 7/10
Turkish yoghurt drink. Taste similar to Indian lassi bit saltier from the sea salt. Works well as palate cleanser for all the lamb and spices.

Elma Cayi (66k) 6.5/10
Traditional Turkish apple tea with cinnamon. No refill provided. A bit too sweet.

Located right next where Six Ounces used to be, this place had interesting Vegan menu (some of them were oos though). The outdoor area was vibey but definitely hot during midday.

Vegan Carrot Cake (65k) ⭐️7.5/10
Yummy carrot cake that I wouldn’t know was vegan if they didn’t tell me. Very moist and held its structure well. The pineapple chunks also added additional texture and flavour to the carrot cake. No walnut chunks but it’s a plus for me since I dislike nuts in cake. Curious on how they made the cream cheese since it tasted like regular dairy to me.

Vegan Mushroom Ragu Spaghetti (155k) 5/10
Had high expectation as it smelled really good, but ended up tasting one note. Mushroom was cut too big so it didn’t really resemble minced meat. For dishes like this, I felt like using sturdier mushroom such as portobello or king oyster would have been better as they have ‘meatier’ texture vs the normal button mushroom used. Flavour wise, the tomato sauce tasted like it was made straight from the jar, lacking some umami factor that could have been made by adding things like liquid amino or similar substance. Pasta itself was also overcooked. Also, as a fan of arugula, I still thought that they put way too much of it on top, as the bitterness clashed with the ragu.

Chicken Teriyaki Don (57k) 6.5/10
Quite generous amount of chicken, nicely seared with sweet-salty sauce, plus a nicely cooked onsen egg on top. It’s not traditional by any means but somehow the floss works well in combination with the egg and chicken. Good options for those looking for simple lunch/dinner option. The crunchy fried garlic was yum as well.

Gion Kaisendon (135k) 4.5/10
Very generous portion, though I noticed that they gave us more of the tamago and edamame vs salmon and unagi. My main problem was that they slather so much sauce that it overpowered the delicate sweetness of the fish. Felt like all I could taste was soy sauce. Also, why would you put tenkasu in a kaisendon?

Mattina (72k) 6.5/10
Milk chocolate coffee bavarois, caramel, dark chocolate sponge, caramelised puff rice. Quite a basic combination, but there’s enough textural difference from the puffed rice that elevated this from your basic chocolate mousse. A bit too sweet for me.

Citrus Caramellia ⭐️(72k) 8/10
Caramelised white chocolate mousse, honey citrus caramel, blood orange kedondong gel, brown sugar sponge, caramelised puff rice. More unusual vs mattina, nice sweet-sour combo. Highlight was definitely the blood orange kedondong and honey citrus caramel. Would recommend this.

Cinta (25k) & PBnJ (25k) 6/10
Loads of interesting flavour combinations available. Cinnamon tabasco was really good. They’re tiny though so would rather go for the entremets.

Raspberry Coldbrew (45k) 5/10
Coffee was not strong, syrup was more sweet vs sour. Nice option if you’re not a strong coffee drinker.
