Pengen makan babi tapi bosen makan epenk dan babi masakan manado gitu, jadi pilihanku jatuh pada hoghock. Biasa pesen satenya juga cuma ini lagi pengen makan nasi babinya aja (sebelumnya uda makan yang lain jadi ga terlalu lapar)

Pork knuckle original uda lengkap sm nasi, babi suwir, lemak babi, cabe ijo dan kerupuk kulit babi (45k) - kebahagian tertinggi ada pada lemak babi itu omigod so fatty but so delicious! 1 mangkok ini no complaint at all, semua komponennya enak. Asin dapet, manis dapet, gurih dan kriuk pun dapet.

Kalo untuk tempatnya sendiri lumayan nyaman sih, enak buat nongki, dan pelayanannya juga sangat cepat (jadi walaupun rame tp ga lama nunggunya). Didaerah xyz ini banyakan yang jualan jadi kalo mau beli minum juga ga susah.

COFFEE BUTTER STEAK & EGG (138K) - homemade coffee butter, seared angus sirloin steak, sauteed mushroom, 65 degree sous vide egg, sauteed spinach, pomme puree and basil oil. What a great dish for sunday brunch with family. The steak cooked in medium and that coffee infused perfectly into the steak giving roast aromatic. (9/10)

MAPLE BUTTER BRIOCHE (78K) - their signature maple truffle butter, toasted brioche, beef bacon, strawberries, scrambled, mesclun, cherry tomato and maple syrup. Just one bacon, bread, egg and maple syrup on side - it’s expensive from a value of money perspective but I could ensure you that the combination of flavor make you want to it more and more! Love it! (9/10)

SALMON AND TRUFFLED SCRAMBLE (88K) - toasted sourdough, salmon gravlax, scrambled egg, white truffle oil, house salad, maple orange vinaigrette. I’m shocked at first because it doesn’t look like salmon in first place (looks like tuna srsly!) So, it was smoked and cooked with beetroot in two ways to create that color. And yes, it’s working! (8/10)

MASCARPONE BLUEBERRY CRUMBLE (48K) - light mascarpone mousse, blueberry compote, maple milk bread crouton, homemade granola and spiced crumble. Quite a subtle spoonful of crumble; the mascarpone flavour dominates - it’s a pretty and absolutely loveable dish (9/10)

ICED MAPLE HAZE LATTE (45K); BLUE KIWI ICEBERG (mango - kiwi - blue curacao 45K); SACARACHA (50K) - salted caramel mocha blended topped with whipped cream. The highlight of the drinks would absolutely goes to blue kiwi iceberg. So refreshing, sweet and sour in same level amount and extra kick from that blue soda!

I live in Indonesia but I’m not a fan of Indonesian food because most dishes use chili and weird spice to elevate their taste. Born to be a non-chili girl, I couldn’t eat any spicy food. But, I heard lots of positive comments about this restaurant so here I am.

BEBEK OPOR (128K) - roasted tender duck in spicy coconut curry with fried potato and japanese kyuri cucumber. I don’t know how they cooked this dish but it’s not spicy at all. And that opor is so creamy but not overly sweet. The duck itself is so tender and balance the opor taste. Love it! (9/10)

TAHOE TELOR (78K) - crispy fried tofu with eggs served with sweet soya lime kaffir. Another must order in Kunstkring! Just a simple tofu and egg dishes that all Indonesian restaurant serve but can’t resist that crispiness and a little acidity in that sweet soya sauce - an extra kick for overall dishes! (9/10)

GADO GADO DJAKARTA (78K) - traditional Indonesian vegetable salad with bean curd, soya bean cake, egg, shrimp crackers served with rice cake and peanut sauce. Random choosing, just want to eat some veges but don’t want to order random food recklessly. Gado-gado will always and taste good in my palate (never try worst gado2 ever). (8/10)

KUNGPAO STUFFED CRISPY DUCK (118K) - marinated of fillet roasted duck stuffed with smoked beef, shiitake mushroom, lotus seed and served with black vinegar sauce. This is one example of reckless and wrong decision to order this dish. There’s two elements that I don’t like - mushroom and black vinegar sauce. So, the overall dish fall apart at the first spoon. (5/10)

SESATEE ZOETELIEF OF PAK PAHEENG SOLO (248K) - a famous recipe from old Batavia of grilled Australian tenderloin satays marinated in coriander and coconut milk. DEFINITION OF DELICIOUS! Expensive? Absolutely, but OMG their tenderloin satay is soooo big - fatty - yummy and tender! (10/10)

GEROOSTERDE VISCH (118K) - roasted marinated spicy turmeric sea bass fish fillet, served with fried fern tip and baby potatoes! Not try this one because it’s fish (just a salmon fan) — spicy - and using turmeric as a spice! Not a risky foodie so I pass this one. But my mom said it’s good and cooked well! (8/10)

BOTTEGA STEAK FRITES (179K) - USDA Prime striploin steak (200gr) with demi glace and house made potato chips. By considering that quite big portion and tender steak (plus crunchy fries) - it becomes worth it! (8/10)

HAND MADE TAGLIATELLE IN BEEF BOURGUIGNON (165K) with dash of cream, braised beef sauce and red wine. High expectation with low outcome as I don’t expect the sauce taste would be so weird and not blend in with the meat and pasta! (5/10)

TRUFFLE MUSHROOM RAVIOLI (165K) - mushroom ravioli with truffled demi glace. OMG definitely love this one! Ravioli is one of my fav pasta and truffle will always be my favorite add on in every kind of dish! (9/10)

BARBEQUE CHICKEN WINGS (79K) - battered fried wings with garlic aioli. Simple chicken wings, yet that sauce and crunchiness elevate the overall dish! (8/10)

LECHE FRITA - FRIED MILK (69K). This is my first time eating this kind of dessert. Just okay, not a fan and would absolutely try different dessert next time! (7/10)

WINTERFELL (65K) - vanilla ice cream, orange, peach. Such a unique combination but surprisingly the taste is quite interesting, refreshing and nice. Not too sweet, LOVE! (8/10)

Having my brother’s birthday dinner in Jia because so many recommendations come to us about this restaurant! Surprisingly, the price is quite affordable (there’s promo 30% disc for Mandiri credit card) for this chinese restaurant in one finest hotel in Jakarta. So, we’ve ordered some of appealing dish and high recommendation from the restaurant itself! 

Crispy roasted pork (98K) – just one word to describe this food – HEAVEN! What a superb crispy skin from that roasted pork! Love it. Just a burst full of flavor. (10/10)

Barbeque pork with honey (98K) – another great pork, a simple dish that i know it can’t go wrong. Just delicious and that honey give an extra sweetness (but with less than 98K after disc) oyeah WORTH IT! (9/10)

Signature peking duck (half – 218K) – MASSIVE LOVE for this one! I’m totally a chinese fan of peking duck wrap and love that thick sweet duck sauce! Just ask the waiter for that sauce twice and dig other meat with it! Half portion but it’s big enough to get one of each element (didn’t have a chance to take the other ways cook of the duck because my family is too hungry to wait) (10/10)

Crispy fried beef in honey sauce (68K) – what a unique dish, by its look and also the flavor itself. It’s like a daily food that I eat but I just can’t specify what is it. But I think the usage of honey is a little bit too much so it’s kinda powered and hidden the taste of that fried beef. (7/10)

Braised homemade bean curd with fungus and ginko nuts (108K) – one of my chinese veges fav is this haha.. can’t go wrong with the combination of tofu and fungus, just a successful extra add-on from that ginko nuts and that crazy yummy brown sauce! (8/10)

Braised E-Fu Noodles and wild mushrooms with black truffle paste (112K) – expecting a really yummy noodles come into my belly but it turns out to be one of my least favorite. I could taste that massive truffle paste but the combination is just not right for us. I think they using a wrong type of noodle and how they cooked the overall dish is just lack of balance. The positive side is just it comes with a very big portions and absolutely enough for our big family! (7/10)

Steamed fried rice with prawn wrapped in lotus leaf (98K) – Another least favourite of mine. It’s way too salty from what I imagine. And somehow I could only taste that salty fried rice and salted fish from that big bowl, nothing else. (5/10)

Deep fried boneless chicken with special chili sauce and mango (82K) – uhlalaaa I love this one! It’s superb yummy. Love that crispy boneless chicken and that sauce is UH-MA-ZINGGG! (9/10)

Braised pork belly with quail egg (98K) – Triple pork for feed the hungry family! PORK LOVERS, HERE WE COME! Hahaha.. they really smashed all that different pork and we put extra love for their quail egg. Just a great cooking of pork belly in brown sauce which totally blown my mind away! (9/10)

Overall a very great dish, warm ambience, attentive and polite services. Just some food that have to be remade to become a better one! 

Will always be a fan of AW KITCHEN’s food till now and I hope will always be. So this review is the overall 6 best times visit!

SPAGHETTINI SPICY COD ROE AND JAPANESE MUSHROOM IN GARLIC OIL (155K) - AWKITCHEN’s specialty dish - fresh spaghetti with spicy cod roe and assorted Japanese mushroom. That Godly flavourful of spicy cod roe collaborate with that al dente pasta and it turns into a dish I literally came back for. (10/10)

RISOTTO BEEF WITH BOILED HOT SPRING EGG (158K) - diced beef sirloin with cream risotto topped with half cooked boiled egg and truffle oil. Best dinner of tonight’s dish. Full of bold flavor and well balanced! (10/10)

PAPPARDELLE SALMON AND BROCCOLI CREAM SAUCE (118K) - homemade whole pasta in light cream sauce, salmon and broccoli. Just a simple but cooked and seasoned beautifully turns out to be a great cream pasta! (8/10)

BLACK ANGUS BEEF TATAKI (135K) - pan seared black angus beef tataki style, drizzled in soy grated daikon sauce and tomato marinade dressing. Another massive dish of the night. That bold flavor from the angus beef and the unique sauce is dang it! YAM! (10/10)

SALMON COBB SALAD (110K) - classic garden salad topped with salmon, steamed chicken, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, slice olive, avocados and egg served with tomato onion dressing. Simple salad just to balance my palate from all that bold dishes I order. (7/10)

FETTUCINE JAPANESE MUSHROOMS CREAM (118K) - fettucine with assorted japanese mushroom cooked in creamy sauce - as a fan of cream sauce, just order a simple dish to find the original taste of their pasta. Yet, it’s good but prefer the pappardelle more. (7/10)

PIZZA AL FUNGHI (110K) - pizza with aromatic mushrooms, ine mozzarella, scarmorza and grana padano cheese topped with bacon. A more average dish, but nonetheless delicious (8/10)

PIZZA QUATTRO FORMAGGI (130K) with gorgonzola, mozzarella, cheddar and grana padano cheese served with honey. Every bite of that fatty slice of pizza worth the calories. The 4 types of cheese + honey, I couldn’t ask more! (10/10)

PIZZA CHICKEN TERIYAKI MUSHROOM (105K) - fusion between Japanese and Italian culture which is pizza topped with juicy grilled chicken, nori and sweet teriyaki flavour. One of the best restaurant? Oh yes absolutely, and it’s because of this pizza. Full of flavour and I should say that fusion idea is totally works! (10/10)

CHEESY MARU OPPA (regular - 95K) - maru spiced chicken, smoked beef, onion, mushroom, broccoli, cherry tomato, alfredo sauce, bbq sauce, sour cream sauce and mozzarella cheese. Baru pertama kali coba green tea dough and surprisingly enakkkk. Ga terlalu enek walaupun toppingnya keju berlimpah ruah. Love it (9/10)

REAL CHICAGO PIZZA (regular - 200K) - double mozzarella cheese, string cheese, beef pepperoni, tomato, parmesan cheese, icing sugar and tomato sauce. Their strawberry jam on side is really genius! dan pizza jenis ini terbuat dari black rice dough. Enak pake banget yg versi ini.. will be perfect kalau icing sugarnya dikurangin karena terlalu manis ujungnya. But overall, YUMMY! (9/10)

STEAK CHICAGO PIZZA (regular -220K) - double mozzarella cheese, string cheese, beef steak, korea style bulgabi, beef pepperoni, tomato, parmesan cheese, icing sugar and tomato sauce. Kurang suka yang versi ini, enak cuma terlalu banyak jenis beefnya jadi tumpang tindih. Untung ada strawberry jam yang bener2 penyelamat sih! (7/10)

GARLIC BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA (regular - 95K) - marinated chicken, smoked beef, onion, mushroom, garlic, bell pepper, steak bulgabi sauce cherry tomato, mozzarella cheese. With additional special crust (GOLD EDGE - 25K) - a combination of sweet potato mousse and 2 types of cheese. Kalo yang ini dough standard tapi yang bikin menarik crustnya pake sweet potato and not all restaurant could make a really great one! yang ini enak sih, ga terlalu enek ubinya dan compliment well with the pizza. (8/10)

KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN? YES, PLEASE :) I do order their HONEY BUTTER CHICKEN (6pcs - 85K) which look very appealing. Aduh ku jatuh cinta sama fried chicken-nya. Not too sweet or salty, just perfect! That crunchiness is on point! (9/10)

KIMCHI BULGOGI TOWER (90K) - bulgogi beef, roast kimchi, bell pepper, onion, cabbage, mushroom, seaweed. Not a fan of kimchi tapi yang ini aku bisa makan. enaaaak dan kimchinya juga ga terlalu pedes. Komponennya ga tumpang tindih dan sausnya bikin keseluruhan jadi pas! (9/10)

SHRIMP OIL PASTA (85K) with onion, mushroom, garlic, butter, shrimp and parmesan cheese. This is simple but packed - full of flavor. Price is a little bit high compare to other but it’s okay. (8/10)

Overall love their dish that been serve. Delicious pizza, yummy fried chicken and the other food is good as well! Can’t wait to try other dish beside pizza!

One of my favourite restaurant in Plaza Senayan. I always order the same thing whenever I come here because I couldn’t move on with this 3 killing dishes! (and I’ve got a member card in here lol)

SUSHI BURRITO SALMON CREAM CHEESE (78K) - sushi roll made of salmon, cream cheese, cucumber and lettuce wrapped in Japanese seaweed. My first must order dish. Wow, that salmon cream cheese is the champs. Absolutely nailed it. (10/10)

CHICKEN NANBAN (55K) - BIJIN NABE’S signature deep fried chicken with homemade tartar sauce. Second dish that I wish I could eat 5 plates alone but that homemade tartar sauce calories stopped me to. And the chicken is crispy and absorb well with the tartar. Again, full of flavour! (10/10)

ORIGINAL BIJIN NABE SIZE M (298K) with collagen soup. The rich chicken collage soup served in silky pudding shape. Not a fan of all kind of soup (Random Alert: collagen soup could make us looks younger and face brighter, they said). For the taste, it much tastier than the looks. Love the filling - fresh veges, big-cut chicken and love the fish - prawn balls! I wish I could try their beef but my mom not a beef eaters so say hello to healthy white chicks. (9/10)

CHICKEN KATSU WITH CHEESE (70K) - deep fried chicken cutlet with melted cheese filling. Least favourite because it’s good but not as great like the others three. But as I use my alacarte app for buy 1 get 1 free, so it becomes worth it! The melted cheese is just not in the right place, maybe as a dip would be nicer. (8/10)
