Pasta
Overall, both fresh and dry pasta were cooked nicely to al dente. Just ask the servers to help you match the pasta appropriate for the sauce.

Ravioli Beef with Burro & Salvia (109k) 7.5/10
Never really heard anyone talking about this sauce but I really enjoyed the simple delicacy of butter and the herbiness of the sage. Could use more parmesan maybe.

Fusili Arrabbiata (99k) 7/10
Spicier than what you would expect from Italian place. Taste pretty refreshing from the tomato and parsley. The olives might not be everyone’s cup of tea but added a nice brininess to the dish.

Beef Ravioli with Amatriciana (119k) 6.5/10
Same tomato base as the arrabiata but the addition of pork bacon and cheese added a more umami flavour. Slightly spicy but very mild vs the arrabiata.

Minestrone Ligurian Style (79k) 7.5/10
Vegetables soup with pasta and fresh basil pesto. Looks small and simple but filling since they put pasta inside the soup as well. The basil pesto added nice herby touch to the dish.

Managed to snag a table for first dinner session (5-7pm) during weekends. Overall, pretty great dishes with unique concept (France Teppan). The brioche in their complimentary bread basket was very scrumptious as well. Will return for their other dishes.

Blue Air (110k) ⭐️9.5/10
No dish (or anything in life really) can get a perfect score, but this aerated ibra blue cheese sure came close. Obviously I’m biased since I love blue cheese so much, however the combination of cheese with honey butter grapes and walnuts were 💯.

Duck Jambon (85k) 7/10
Hot smoked, kombu vinaigrette, rockette, pickled red onion, nashi mostarda. Fresh and refreshing, good appetizer but didn’t wow me. Maybe cause I’m not that into cold cuts?

Saucchison en Brioche (150k) ⭐️8.5/10
Probably the most unique out of what we ordered. Beef mortadella in the centre of brioche, cooked on the teppan and served with truffled port sauce and fennel apple slaw. Nutty, juicy, and rich in flavour when you bite into it.

Crustacean Flan (95k) 7.5/10
Fancy lobster and porcini chawan mushi with fermented chili custard and red king crab gin-an sauce. Very umami and a bit spicy. Got a strong seafood punch which was a bit too much for me.

Plat de Cotes (560k) ⭐️ 9/10
Accordian cut karubi (250g) gave the cut interesting outer texture that also helped the sauce to cling into the meat. Bonus point for the amazing Parisian Tarragon Shiso sauce.

Entrecote (975k) 7/10
Got the wagyu 45D (350g) but honestly a letdown vs the Accordian Karubi. Not sure why but it pales in comparison to the karubi both in terms of texture and juiciness. Also was not a fan of arima shansho sauce vs the tarragon.

La Vie en Rose (145k) ⭐️ 8/10
Ordered this for ig, however turns out better than expected. Nice warm brioche met with strawberry sherbet and sweet sour litchi creme and rose compote.

Wagyu Fat Brownie (85k) 7.5/10
Very rich and decadently rich brownies. The crispy popcorn tuile definitely added a nice fun component to the dish. That said, I found it less memorable than the rose dessert as it tasted just like other fudgy brownies.

Turkish Egg (85k) ⭐️9/10
I think this is the first place to have Cilbir in Jakarta? Yummy poached egg served with garlicky yoghurt and spicy chili butter, pretty much a failsafe combo for brunch😆. I also like the addition of beef ragu and pickled onion despite not being traditional. Typically eaten alongside crusty bread, NOB opts to have it with prata instead, which imo doesn’t work quite as well since it’s a bit too oily and floppy to dip into the yoghurt.

Croissant Egg Tuna Mayo (65k) 7/10
Plenty of tuna and egg fillings. Tuna did not smell fishy and the mixture had just enough mayo without being overwhelming. Side salad was very fresh and refreshing with a tangy dressing. Croissant was very crispy though, to the point where we struggled to cut it without breaking it to pieces everywhere.

Crunchy French Toast (65k) 7.5/10
As the name suggests, this french toast is fried with cereal batter as the outer crust (I don’t think the bread was soaked in milk and egg as the classic version). Milk bread was quite fluffy and soft. Sauce had quite dominant Pandan taste though personally I couldn’t discern the kaya flavour. It’s pretty good but I personally prefer more traditional french toast with brioche and custard mixture.

Berry rose pistachio (43k) 7.5/10
Taste wise, this croissant had it all with nutty pistachio, fragrant rose, and some sourness from the berries. However, texture of the croissant itself was somewhat underwhelming. In contrast to their croissant sandwich, this one was not flaky or light enough. I think unless you are lucky enough to be served their croissant straight from the oven you’ll have this problem because they can’t reheat their filled croissant. Same thing with takeaways as my cruffin filling made the layers soggy as time went on.

An unexpected find thanks to a friend’s recommendation. Foods were mostly hit, price was affordable, portion was huge. Imo, better than its sister brand daitokyo despite having being less crowded. I guess I need to explore more Blok M restaurants🤔? Parking situation sucks though (particularly on weekends).

Pork/Chicken Curry Rice (130k) ⭐️9/10
The best katsu curry I’ve tried in Jakarta so far. Katsu was substantial in size, juicy and fried perfectly (for both pork and chicken). Highlight was the curry itself though, not too sweet but perfectly balanced with umami and even hints of slight pepperiness. Curry also had generous amount of tender beef inside. Portion can be shared for two people, as the set includes both Japanese rice and cabbage slaw.

Butatama Okonomiyaki (68k) ⭐️8.5/10
Pork and egg Osaka-style okonomiyaki. Most okonomiyaki I tried was too doughy but this one had balanced ratio between cabbage, flour, and eggs. There’s a fluffiness to it that prevents the batter from being too dense while not falling apart.

Chicken Karaage (47k) 7.5/10
Good karaage, very crunchy while meat was still juicy on the inside. They gave you lemon wedge and salt pepper on the side but batter itself was already flavorful enough.

Tempura Moriawase (89k) 6.5/10
Typical tempura platter, batter was above average though, thin, light, and crispy without being too greasy.

Dashimaki Tamago (38k) 5/10
The only somewhat letdown dish of the night. There’s nothing wrong with it per se, it’s mostly the fact that we were expecting it to be tamagoyaki (sweet Japanese omelette) but turns out this was the more savory version made with dashi stock.

Brown Butter Kouign Amann (36k) 7/10
Not as sweet as your traditional kouign amann but very fragrant. The inside was quite dense/bready vs the PBnJ but still okay.

PBnJ (40k) 8/10
Super generous fillings, can’t go wrong with PBnJ combination. Croissant itself was crunchy and airy, but not that buttery.
