Dijan's

Sudah lama gak ke Dijan’s, kali ini pesan Dutch Steak w/ Souted Potato dan Ice Tea, datang di weekend sore dan seharian hujan jadi meski ramai masih banyak seat kosong juga, saya pilih indoor, diberi waktu 2jam untuk dine-in dimulai dari makanan datang. Makanan cepat tersaji, staffnya pun ramah.

Untuk rasa dutch steak nya buat saya terasa asin di kuahnya, tapi dagingnya enak, saya pilih medium rare sehingga masih merah. Ada potongan kentang dan sayuran lainnya jadi mengenyangkan. Ice Tea nya seperti rasa teh umumnya, gulanya terpisah. Lagu di restaurannya tidak bising sehingga masih bisa mengobrol.

Ambience nya kaya family resto agak gaduh, mungkin karena jam makan siang. Yang unggul cuma poffertjes nya kalo buat ku.

Dijan’s kemang, sudah jadi restaurant belanda favorit sejak masih buka hingga jam 1 pagi.

Awal mula ke Dijan’s selalu pesan poffertjes, dessert khas belanda yang wajib untuk dicoba. Gurih poffertjes nya ditambah gula halus dan butter, membuat rasanya sangat pas di lidah.

Menu favorit berikutnya Pannekoek Banaan, bentuk pancake yang tipis namun lebar dan besar, ditambah wip cream yang lembut dan manis, wah ini the best pancake pisang in town!!😭🧈💗

Akhir akhir ini baru juga coba Kip Compote, ayam yang dimasak dengan mentega, dengan kentang yang lembut, saus yang gurih dan buah peach. Terlihat besar namun sangat pas untuk porsi 1 orang!

Restaurant Belanda daerah Kemang yang cocok untuk makan santai bareng pacar. kalau kesini harus banget coba Hollandse Biefstuk dan dessert nya poffertjes met blueberries en vanilla ice cream.

Untuk Hollandse Biefstuk berisi Beef tenderloin yang super empuk dan juicy, rasanya gurih dan bumbunya enak. porsinya sendiri menurut saya pas untuk porsi perorang karena ada tambahan vegetables dan juga suite potatoes.

Untuk dessert poffertjes met blueberries vannila icecream, tampilan pofferjtes yang ditaburi gula halus dengan porsi bisa untuk sharing 2-3orang, ditengahnya terdapat ice cream vanila dan cream diatasnya. rasanya pas, ada manis dan gurihnya.

Untuk tempatnya nuansa belanda,bagus untuk foto foto (instagramable)

A homey Dutch restaurant, Dijan sports an old colonial house design, which totally match the vibe of their foods. Highly recommend their poffertjes and pannekoeken, but most of their savoury options are good as well.

Bitterballen (70k) 7.5/10
Used to get bitterballen in Puncak when I was a child, but this is like the grown-up, better made version. Fillings were soft but still held together from the crunchy breading. Their mayo sauce was pretty good. Better finish them all while it’s warm since we noticed that it became super average once they were at room temp.

Hollandse Biefstuk (150k) 7/10
Dutch tenderloin steak, served with sautéed potato and grilled vegetables. Ordered this in medium well, which was way too overcooked for me, but beef was still tender. The highlights were surprisingly the zucchinis and tomatoes, which taste sweet and fresh. Potatoes kinda bland especially compared to the spicy potatoes we ordered.

Fish ala Meuniere (135k) 5/10
Fish in butter sauce, with sauté potatoes and spinach. The most b aja dish in Dijan’s I’ve tried so far. Fish didn’t wow us and the potato is the same as Dutch steak ones. Spinach was watery as well. Just order the other menus.

Gebakken Kruidennardappeitjes (55k) 8/10
Haven’t seen anyone reviewed this dish, but I think this is really good? My friend got this on a whim, and all of us could not stop munching on this? Basically a deep fried potato cubes, but the spicy seasonings made it somehow addicting.

Poffertjes (100k) 8.5/10
Dijan probably has the most traditional poffertjes in Jakarta. When it arrived you could really smell the buttery aroma. Texture was on point with how fluffy and soft they were. Dough itself was actually quite savoury, but still works with the powdered sugar and butter.

Pannekoeken (100k) 9/10
With blackberries and vanilla ice cream. This>poffertjes for me. The combination of warm, thin pannekoek against sweet-sour blackberries and melted vanilla ice cream was just 💯.
