Union

Pas pergi sama temen mau cari tempat makan sekaligus buat nongkrong, union lagi pilihannya. Kami makan all time favourite pork crackling spaghetti, seared scallop aglio olio spaghetti, union burger dan ube velvet mereka yang enak banget. 

Emang nih ga bisa ganti ganti menu dari pork crackling haha kenapa ya, emang the best sih menurut saya. Buat kamu yang emang belum pernah coba, please....must try!!!

Scallop aglio olio nya juga ga kalah enak, walaupun cuma 3 dapetnya tapi udah cukup bangettt dan kenyang pol!

Union burgernya emang porsinya besar bagi saya, untuk harga 120k worthed sih, dagingnya tebal enak, dengan pork bacon dan juga aged cheddarnya duh nambah rasanya semakin enak! Friesnya pun dikasi banyak. Ga rugi!

Ube velvet nya itu emang udah must to eat nya disini! Bener bener ngalahin red velvetnya kalau menurut saya. Ga enek sama sekali, light dan rasa unik taronya itu bikin nagih. The best.

1. Pork Crackling and bacon lardons, spaghetti, alba truffle cream (Rp 105.000) 
So good! sering banget pesen ini. Creamy tapi enggak enek gitu. spaghettinya pas, porknya tender! 

2. Club Sandwich with Grilled chicken, pork or beef bacon, truffled eggs and garlic aioli (Rp 95.000) 
Good tapi biasa aja, enggak gitu berasa trufflenya enggak tau kenapa




3. Fennel- Crusted Pork belly, crispy pork rinds, pomme puree, honey mustard vinaigrette (Rp 160.000) 
Porknya tender! enak! kombinasi nya benar-benar pas saucenya

Siang2 yang cerah nyobain menu barunya dari Union yaitu Coffee Crumble yang katanya enak banget. Kalo biasanya masterpiece nya mereka kan red velvet, kali ini kita jatuh cinta juga sama Coffee Crumble nya. Enak banget ngga pake bohong!

Tekstur kue nya seperti biasa halus banget, meskipun kalo rasa kopi nya hampir seperti kue2
Kopi lainnya, terus perpaduan dengan honey crumble nya kind of smart idea sih menurut kita, karena emang bikin kue nya makin berasa gurih dan yummy! Fyi, kue ini bisa diorder di menu dessert ya, bukan langsung order di tempat pastry depannya.

Emang ngga pernah bosen kalo dateng ke sini, vibes nya enak, menu nya enak2, terutama red velvetnya, dan juga spot foto nya yang stunning di depan restoran ini sendiri.

Selain itu kita juga cobain pork crackling pasta nya yang ternyata untuk harga 105.000 worth it karena rasanya enak, asinnya pas, ngga terlalu creamy jadi ngga bikin eneg, dan porsinya juga banyak!

I really wanted to go to Union since forever. I often go to theirs' store in Grand Indonesia and ate theirs' cakes but never went to Plaza Senayan outlet to try theirs' menu. This place is really unique. It designed like a greenhouse. It's located beside Plaza Senayan's Mall. The interior was clean and neat with white cloth over theirs' wooden table. The chair was wooden furnished which makes this place really nice.

Red Velvet Cheese Cake and Red Velvet Pie - Rp 55,000 and Rp 50,000 This two are definitely in my top 5 favorite cake I ever tasted. The red velvet pie was so good. I prefer theirs' red velvet pie over red velvet cheese cake because there are more cream cheese and because of the thick red velvet crust. It's basically Union's signature red velvet cake in pie form. The crust was so crunchy and holds the cake in shape really well. Topped with my favorite EVER sweet peanut crumbs makes this cake is definitely worth a try!

Red Velvet Cheese Cake - Rp 55,000 If you ever tasted Union's red velvet cake and you like cheese cake, then this will be your next cake crush of the year. The cake was so moist and soft. But I feel like when I ordered a full cake the taste was a little bit better somehow. But anyway the difference isn't that significant between sliced cake and full cake. The wise way to eat this is to eat both part at once so you can taste hint of saltiness from the cheese cake and hint of bitterness from the red velvet and sweetness from both of the cake. This cake smelled so good that makes you wanna have another plate.

Escargots, Garlic Butter - Rp 105,000 I was never interested in ordering escargots every time I went to a restaurant. But, after I tasted this, it changed my mind. The escargot was so soft and buttery in my mouth. It didn't tasted like what I think escargots will be taste like and the best part,it didn't smelled at all. Accompanied by crunchy garlic, it makes a perfect combo! Small tips from me, save your free bread from the beginning of your order and dip it into the garlic butter, it's the BOMB!

Pork Crackling & Bacon Lardons, Spaghetti, Alba Truffle Cream - Rp 105,000 Curious about the hype of this pork themed spaghetti so I gotta try one. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly. The truffle cream was perfect and not overpowering my palette and the bacon was tender yet juicy. The pork crackling was nice but sadly not my favorite. It was good but I expected more because of the hype. But it is still worth to try because this dish was such a creamy dish.

Roasted Mushrooms, Spaghetti, White Truffle Cream (V) - Rp 95,000. This dish tasted quite the same with the pork spaghetti. It is creamy and yummy. Honestly I can't choose which one is better. I gave both of the dish 8,5/10 each. They gave generous amount of mushrooms. The mushrooms was pleasant and delightful.

Fennel-Crusted Pork Belly, Crispy Pork Rinds, Pomme Puree, Honey Mustard Vinaigrette - Rp 160,000 This is probably my favorite dish from my visit. The pork belly was sooo tender! It was very pleasant to eat. With the combination of the puree and honey mustard vinaigrette the dish tasted very good! The mustard was not too sour with the combination of honey it's such a perfect match with the pork belly. Because of the apple I can tasted the sweet taste from it in the pork belly. This dish is definitely a must order

Wagyu Jajangmyeon w/ Beef Rinds & King Oyster Mushrooms - Rp 135,000 I hesitated to ordered this menu at first so I ordered this menu after half of my order came out because I'm curious how's the taste of the traditional Korean menu with a bit of twisted because they added some "unusual" component to this traditional menu. It turns out quite good but not my favorite. The noodle was not a good match with this menu, it was to thick. The black bean sauce was too little than the usual black bean noodle I ordered in some Korean restaurant. The mushroom was good and surprisingly the kimchi tasted decent.

I actually ordered Truffle Fries (Rp 40,000) and Nasi Goreng (I forgot the price) but the food was across the table so I cannot take a proper picture of it.

The truffle fries smelled amazingly good. The fries was crispy and thin but soft inside, with grated cheese on top makes a perfect sides for lunch or dinner.

The Nasi Goreng was so good. The rice was not too dry and not too wet either. The spices of the Nasi Goreng was perfect, it was salty and a hint of spicy also. Overall it is my favorite dish after the pork belly.

Restoran yg selalu rame dan ga pernah sepi. Utgnya waiting list mreka saya plg lama prna nunggu cm 1/2 jam. Kalau makan disini biasanya dibatasi hanya 2 jam krn waiting list trs. Disini saya pesan :

  -pork crackling pasta : pastanya pake kerupuk samcan dan lemak babi,semuanya serba babi. Dagingnya sndiri ga bau babi,krupuk samcannya ngingetin kerupuk samcan yg dijual di bali sih. Dari segi rasa lumayan enak dan porsinya pas utk 1 org

-escargot : salah satu menu yg slalu dipesan org selain red velvet cakenya. Saya pribadi hampir ga prna makan escargot, tp yg union punya bumbunya agak beda krn pake tomat, jadinya agak lebih seger. Porsinya jg cukup banyak,ad 12 escargot.  

-orrechiette : pasta yg ini pake saus dari daging bulu babi, tp pribadi saya sndiri sih rasa bulu babinya kurang berasa. 

-Red velvet cake : Kalau sebut union,smw org pasti lgsg sebut red velvet cakenya. Memang benar rasa red velvetnya enak banget!! Kacangnya super crunchy,cream cheesenya lembut,dan cakenya it sendiri padar dan lembut. Walaupun utk satu slice cake harganya cukup mahal,tp cakenya sndiri makannya bisa sharing soalnya gede banget jadinya bener2 ga rugi deh 

-Classic happy birthday cake : salah satu cake favorit saya slain red velvet cake. Simple banget,sponge cake dgn cream cheese dan smacam coklat di bgn luar cakenya. Walaupun simple tp rasanya ga kalah dgn red velvet pienya. 

-Tia maria tiramisu : tiramisu terenak yg prnah saya makan! Tiramisunya berasa sekali rhumnya dan dimakan dgn eskrim vanilla buatan sndiri, bener2 enak. Kalau diurutkan,kue ini no 1 favorit saya di union. 

-Strawberry Charlotte Cake : asem krn stroberinya, walopun tekstur agak creamy tp ga eneg.

-Ovomaltine pannacotta : salah satu pannacotta terenak yg prna saya coba. Teksturnya super lembut,lumer di mulut,dan ovomaltinenya ga pelit! 

-Hot Cappucino : rasanya lumayan, kopinya ga asem tp standar. 

Overall, pengalaman saya makan di union sangat baik. Disamping union yg slalu ramai,servisnya cepat dan pelayannya ramah. Makanannya pun juga enak2. Bakal balik lagi utk tia maria tiramisu dan red velvet cakenya. Cm mgkn yg kurang saya suka adlh tmpt smoking dan non smoking digabung

untuk kue redvelvetnya pasti udah pada tau lah yaaa gimana rasanyaa! BEST!!
aku pesen pork crackling & bacan lardon pastanya, yampuuuunnn rasanya bener2 enaaak!
this is the best pasta i've ever eat so far.. creamnya berasa banget, porknya crunchy.. mau lagi dan lagi hahaha

Union is my all time favorite restaurant. Tempatnya bagus, pelayanannya top dan makanannya enak. Berkali-kali kesini tapi sekalipun ga pernah kecewa dengan makanannya dan pelayanannya, ga heran kalo tempat ini selalu rame setiap hari dan setiap waktu, lunch time atopun dinner time. Disarankan untuk telepon dulu kalau mau kesini. Terakhir kesini agak kalap, gw pesen pasta aglio olio with scallop yg enak banget, scallopnya jg generous ga pelit, terus pork crackling pasta. Yg ini ga halall, tapi enak banget, gurih banget kulit babinya hehehe  dan bumbunya creamy jadi agak2 eneg gmana kalo uda selese makan. Kalo gw biasa pake chili flakes yg banyak biar ga gitu berasa krim. Satu lagi yg gw pesen adalah nasi goreng kimchi. Gw ga bilang ga enak, tapi ya standar banget. Masih banyak menu lain di union yg lebih enak daripada nasi goreng ini hehehehe

Union ini ada di dalam mall plaza senayan dan ada di dalam sogo juga, tempatnya sangat cocok untuk ngedate gitu karena tergolong romantis. saat di sini saya mencoba pork crackling & bacon lardons, spaghetti, alba truffle cream dan rasanya sangat enak! rasa dari pork crackling nya sendiri itu crunchy dan ada rasa asap-asap nya gitu serta sangat cocok dimakan dengan spaghetti. truffle creamnya juga sangat lembut dan enak, sebenarnya truffle cream ini mirip dengan carbonara tetapi bedanya truffle cream lebih kering dan ada aroma yang khas
