Ini tempat makan yang harganya super worth it!!! Dan kali ini aku bakal review dari segi rasa makanan dulu ya. Sate taichan original (25k) - jarang suka sate taichan original tapi mereka punya enak banget. satenya super lembut, sausnya berasa juga. ditambah perasan jeruk nipis nikmat! (8/10)

Sate taichan mozzarella (35k) - nah kalo yang ini selalu jadi favorit, dan bisa dilihat mozzarella-nya bener2 luber gila sih gangerti lagi. "appetizer"-nya RPP bener2 oke punya! (9/10)

Selanjutnya untuk "main course" -nya jd yang favorit dan berbeda dibandingkan yang lain itu saus telor asinnya. Karena dua2nya punya cita rasa yang berbeda jadi aku cobain goreng dan kuah.
indomie goreng plus2 telor asin (23k) add on telor mata sapi (+5k); add on double mie (+5k) - gila saus telor asin-nya jujur nagih banget. Awalnya pesen 1 porsi eh ga kenyang, lanjut pesen yang double haha.. kombinasi bumbu indomie dengan saus telur asinnya bener2 memanjakan lidah kita banget buat makan terus. (9/10)

indomie kuah plus2 telor asin (23k) - jujur ini lebih ke personal preference sih, aku anaknya suka indomie goreng ketimbang kuah tapi disini menurutku yang kuah lebih enak. mungkin karena dari kaldu kuahnya sendiri uda berasa ditambah saus telor asin yang nonjok banget jadi makin gurih dan creamy. Gila sih enak dan candu parah. (10/10)

Ropang ovomaltine (18k) - it's come to the end, "dessert" yuhuu.. sebenernya cuma ropang dikasi ovo, cuma gangerti sih mereka kasi berapa banyak butter ke ropangnya dan gimana cara mereka panggang itu roti. bisa super duper garing, so buttery and chocolaty. Hebatnya ga enek sama sekali, bener2 ropang to another level hahaha. One of the best for sure! (10/10)

Ropang nutella keju cornflakes (26k)  - nah ini ga kalah enak juga sih. ada tekstur crunchy dari cornflakes nya sendiri. cuma kalo dibandingkan dg yg ovo, lebih suka ovo jauh haha.. tapi adik2ku sih lebih suka ini jadi kembali lagi ke selera masing2 sih. (8/10)
Bubble gum (20k) - bener2 kayak minum popice vanilla blue dicampur bubble gum. sebenernya enak, tapi kalo uda makan mie dan ropang rada enek sih lama2 (7/10). Nah selain itu kita juga pesen es jeruk nipis (15k) - ini minuman yang aku rasa paling tepat untuk mengatasi makanan high calories yang kita pesen. seger banget! (9/10)

Suasananya cozy sih. jadi dia terbuka gitu ya kayak resto ropang2 lain, dan kebetulan hari ini hujan deras dan badai banget jadi makin rame lah ini restoran. Biasanya sih aku kalo makan sini bisa antri lama banget cuma mungkin karena hujan deras jadi ga terlalu rame. untungnya makanan mereka tetap konsisten enaknya!!

Dan yang patut dipuji itu kebersihannya. Bener2 bersih jadi nyaman kalo mau makan juga. bahkan toiletnya pun bersih dan terawat. Pelayanannya pun cekatan, pegawainya ramah, tapi poin pentingnya adalah kita harus punya suara nyaring, karena emang rame banget kan tmptnya, jadi kalo mau panggil mas/mbanya harus teriak2 hahaha.. kalo ga mereka gabakal denger lol! 

We ordered so much and there’s nothing that we could complain about! The price is make sense, the taste is superb and the portion is quite big! LOVE IT! Their ambience is also extra point (big and comfy chair as well).

CRISPY PRAWN CHANG FEN (48K) – OH YES! THIS ONE TRULLY APPROVE! Best dish, superb delicious, that crunchy prawn, silk chang fen and ofcourse that amazing sauce are PERFECT! I could manage to eat all six by myself, because it’s that GOOD! (10/10)

BLACK & GOLD HAKAU (58K) stuffed with prawn, roe and black truffle paste. From all the dish I eat, I thought this best seller dish is actually a pretty but very standard dish compare to other bursting flavour. Just okay but not that special. (7/10)

PAN FRIED FOIE GRAS PORK SIEWMAI (78K) – One of the best dish in this restaurant. WOW THAT FOIE GRAS is a great add-on, I don’t like foie gras but Wan treasures could make a great combination between siewmai and that foie gras (both taste incredibly delicious). TOP NOTCH! (10/10)

PORK TRUFFLE NOODLE (78K) – As a big fan of pork, I’m acknowledge this dish as one of the best truffle noodle especially in Jakarta. Their generous pork with a hint of truffle make me want to eat more and more. The dumpling and noodle is great as well! Overall, I’m very happy with this dish! (10/10)

GOLDEN SALTED EGG PAO (25K) – Another approval dish and that price is so worth it! 3 big pao with bunch salted egg sauce inside is trully amazing! I’m big fan of salted egg pao and not many restaurant could make a great sweet salted egg pao. (9/10)

PORK SIEWMAI (23K) and PHOENIX CLAW(23K) – just an ordinary dish. It’s quite good but compare to other dimsum restaurant, I prefer to order the special one (that other restaurant don’t have) instead for next visit. (7/10)

RED BEAN ONDE (23K) & CREAM CHEESE ONDE (38K) – let’s end up your dinner with something sweet. The red bean is quite nice (8/10) but that cream cheese is superb good! WOW IT’S REALLY A GREAT CLOSING for my palete. That cream cheese is great combination of creaminess – sweet and a hint of salty. Stunning chinese dessert! (10/10)

HONGKONG STYLE MILK TEA (28K) – I’m one of milk tea big fan and their milk tea is quite good! Not too sweet, just feels right! (8/10)

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!
