<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those who are up-to-date with the culinary news around Jakarta, you might know that Tim-Ho-Wan is already here for quite a while. You might also have heard that it holds a Michelin Star Award in Hong Kong. Being a Dim Sum restaurant, it is a rarity to receive such award which has been known to be given commonly to Western fine dining. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now the question is, would it be bringing all of its quality from Hong Kong to Jakarta? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The restaurant is located at Pantai Indah Kapuk, Ruko Crown Golf. While there are a lot of places in PIK to eat, this one is specifically located near Ikkudo. If you still don't know where it is, simply go to PIK and go straight, and go left at the huge roundabout near Yayasan Tzu Chi, and go straight to the parking lot. It will be located near the end. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this long Lebaran Weekend, we decided to give it a shot and theorize that we might not have to queue. We were wrong obviously. Typically the restaurant opens from 8.00 AM in the morning, but due to Lebaran, it starts to open from 11.00 AM, and people actually queued from 10.30. Now that's a bit crazy. When we come at 11.00 AM, we have to wait for almost and hour.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We decided to take a picture of the menu just for an easy reference for everyone. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Keep in mind that the portioning is typically 3 pieces per portion, therefore if you're that picky about sharing, we suggest just order more. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To start, we ordered the Kue Lobak / Radish Cake. It is nice and delicious, but might not be for everyone's taste as the taste of radish might put a few people off. For those who like it, it is both crispy and rich at the same time. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next is the Cheong Fun with BBQ Pork. This taste exacrly like Cheong Fun and Pork, so I don't know what else to describe. It tastes OK but portion is definitely on the smaller side. The plus side is, it is so full of meat unlike what we commonly find in other premises. Again, quite pricey for it's portion.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The weirdo of the day would probably the Baso Goreng Udang Seafood w/ Saus Apricot. Now, I am kinda lost with the exact location of the seafood, as this is mainly made with Yam / Talas and the filling makes me wonder what is it exactly, being white and colourful and stuff. Personally I thought this is too bizzare. What a shame.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course, Dim Sum would not be complete when you're not ordering Siomay and Hakao. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the thing that we notice from both of them is that Tim Ho Wan is really generous with the filling, but still it does not taste way better than other places we have tasted. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Somewhat pricey as well.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Their service is really, really fast. Our food was served less than 5 minutes of ordering.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> What <span style="text-align: justify;">makes this one so special is that typically in common Samgyetang we found in Jakarta, the soup is somewhat bland and you will need to add more salt according to your liking. This one however is already delicious on its own and the chicken has more meat than rice. Totally worth it! You also get some noodles to accompany. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the mountain adventure, we tried the Mt. Seorak grilled fish. Now, this grilled fish is not just some grilled fish. In fact, this is the most amazing grilled fish I have ever eaten, and this area just happen to have one of the best grilled fish in the world that I have ever tried. It is tender, tasty, and almost no bones are visible. And no, I am not being hyperbolic. If you were in Indonesia, you would probably be tempted to put kecap manis on it, but please don't. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last meal was called the Dakjjim - a braised chicken stew. This stuff here is not too popular in Jakarta, however it is actually very delicious and is a very nice winter/spring dish. We just happened to try one of the most famous in Myeongdong, located in some alley somewhere in Myeongdong. Keep in mind that there are several Dakjjim places in the same road, we simply chose this one because it was the most crowded, and didn't regret a single bit! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dakjjim is a healthy and very fulfilling dish, therefore make sure that if you find any of these in Jakarta, give it a shot. And if you happen to travel to Korea, find the one above in Myeongdong. A bit hard to find and we weren't even sure of the exact address, but if you can read Korean you can probably Google it up. The portion below was meant for 1-2 persons but if you convert it into Indonesia portion, this can be enjoyed for up to 3 hungry people or 4 people max. </span></div>

This reduces the guilty feeling when eating by 15-20%. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As promised a few months ago, I will be posting all about what we ate in Korea.While Korean food has been very popular in Indonesia for quite some time, it is a unique experience to enjoy the authentic experience firsthand.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Korean food is a combination of pleasure and healthy eating at the same time. That is probably the best description I could think of, and you will see the reason why below. Upon arrival, we had the opportunity to taste the bulgogi stew, or in Korean is called Bulgogi Tukbegi. This little corner in Seoul probably</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Typically in Indonesia bulgogi is associated and served as grilled meat. However, in Korea eating it as a soup during cold months is very common. Savory and delicious, it also warms your body. Should you go to one of those authentic Korean restaurants, try asking for one of these. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jeju Island is known for having a specialized pig breed called the Black Pig. The meat is obviously not black, however the taste is somewhat better than your typical pork. In this particular restaurant, the bbq meat is ALL YOU CAN EAT. I remember taking it the third time just because it's just so damn good. Now you don't enjoy that kind of thing everyday! I have yet to try an all-you-can-eat here that serves delicious pork. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you guys still remember, we visited Ya Rae Hyang, a Korean Restaurant in Gading Batavia around half a year ago - check the post <a href="http://tonguepleaser.blogspot.com/2014/08/ya-rae-hyang.html">right here. </a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This time, we visited the other place in Senopati, which is located very close to Mu Gung Hwa - A Korean mart that sells Korean food ingredients (a very cool place, you should check it out). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finding this place in Jalan Senayan No.16 is a bit difficult - it is situated right next to a clinic or some sort but there is no very large sign of it. Simply put - if Mu Gung Hwa Korean supermarket is on your left - you have passed it and need to turn around. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our objective this time was to simply eat Jajangmyeon - to see whether the taste and quality is consistent, and as well to fulfill our craving at that time. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ok, the Jajangmyeon is one of the things we wanted to try but that was not everything. We also tried the Gunmandu (dumpling). It was okay - nothing too special but definitely makes a delicious side dish. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another thing that was also on our table was the Kanpunggi - translated into fried chicken with garlic sauce. It is somewhat pricey with the cost of Rp 160K - but it was worth it and perfect for sharing. Might as well enjoy a bottle of Soju with that.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall, we had a pleasant dining experience, albeit the very quiet environment. There were probably a couple of Korean expats dining there - feeling like home. The authenticity of the food as well as the ambience makes me want to keep going back here again and again - they do offer a lot of other noodle menu and Korean dishes ready to be tried. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On another note, this is one of the very few place where you can find a good quality Jajangmyeon, therefore please support the place and enjoy the food!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the coolest place that we've visited is called Sisterfields Cafe. It is a very cozy place, comfortable, and with ample of space which will never give you a very crowded feeling. It is like a mix of a diner and cafe in my opinion. It is already been quite famous as one of the must-visit place for brunch, so of course we decided to give it a try. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Definitely one of the first things that we tried is the Eggs Benedict. A classic, fulfilling brunch dish that everyone loves. Portion-wise it is not too big, however it was fulfilling enough. Nice texture and presentation, and bacon always wins. Rp 60k with bacon. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the most interesting stuff in the cafe is the Smashed Avocado. served on top of a bread with feta cheese and sundried tomatoes. Very fresh and delicious, and not so commonly found especially in Jakarta. It can be said that it's one of the healthy options if you're not into heavy eating. This is definitely a must try when visiting this place. Priced at Rp 65K. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The unexpected deliciousness was actually the House Baked Beans. In the picture below you can't see the beans of course, as they are covered with delicious and healthy almond crumbs. Again, another light and beautiful brunch option.The beans have a perfect texture and the combination of beans, sour cream, and almond adds to the rich experience of this dish. Priced at Rp 65K. </span></div>

Tongues will be pleased, for sure. </span>Chris A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00158329677038907359noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7820339293990641333.post-90996425400599546752015-01-22T21:26:00.000+07:002015-01-22T21:27:10.231+07:00Biku - Seminyak, Bali<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Being tea freaks, we always look for an opportunity to have a wonderful tea time together. However, we couldn't have imagined that such opportunity would come up in Bali, where you would expect people to enjoy overpriced western food or very spicy rice dishes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Biku is conveniently located in Seminyak (where, as you know, is the trendiest place in Bali as of now) and it is decorated with such an authentic Balinese feel. There is no air conditioning or whatever, but still enjoyable. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you enter, on the left hand corner there will be a small classical bookshop (which I think is intended for you to buy and enjoy the book there). Going further inside, and there is a tarot reading desk,</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and I heard that you have to make an appointment for the tarot reading.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tarots aside, we decided to try their tea set. We ordered the Traditional Afternoon Tea, with Biku classic tea as the tea of choice. The restaurant offers a various range of teas, so you don't have to worry about not finding one that won't suit you. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The tea set is accompanied with a set of small bites that are definitely simple and godly : sandwich with ham, cucumber, and smoked salmon as the savory bites, and two pieces of scones and a few other sweets on top. All of these cost Rp 105K, but definitely worth it. It gives a slightly different experience compared with <a href="http://tonguepleaser.blogspot.com/2013/10/twg-tea-boutique.html">TWG</a>. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Furthermore, another must try would be the Signature Beef Pie. The size of the pie is large enough to leave you fulfilled in the afternoon. The taste is very fresh and delicious, the filling is perfect, and the crust is having just about the right thickness. While eating with ketchup doesn't sound to classy, you should probably try it. This little gem here costs you Rp 60 K as of 2014. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Staying in Seminyak can only result in a very interesting culinary adventure. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There were plenty of western food options around Seminyak, and it's not possible to actually visit them one by one unless your budget is virtually unlimited. Thus, during our latest trip to Bali, we decided to simply try a few most recommended places there. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We started one of our days by having a brunch in Cafe Bali, Seminyak. It is a very pleasant place and relatively quiet - a somewhat serene place amongst the Seminyak crowd.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's get started with the meal. We had a very simple breakfast which only consists of Eggs Florentine (one Salmon and one regular), Croissant, and Fricadelle (Pork sausage). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The croissant is..just wow It is what you would expect from a good croissant - very soft, texture is just right, and the taste is close to perfect- Rp 15K for the croissant and think it's a relatively good value considering the size and the taste. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sausage was just sausage though, and it was not too fancy .However it's quite delicious and also worth a try although the portion is relatively small - quite pricey for Rp 43 K. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The eggs florentine is delicious and the eggs were poached perfectly - with enough hollandaise sauce to compliment the bread and the eggs. Simple and fulflling breakfast yet very delicious - we do recommend to try the florentine. Regular florentine costs Rp 25K and the salmon one is Rp 45 K - not bad I guess. I'd rather order another florentine than the sausage though. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the last few months, we decided to up our game in terms of our culinary experience. Being a culinary traveler like we always do, we ended up having more pictures of our food than of ourselves. Doesn't matter though!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We would like to start with a very down-to-earth place called Warung Satria, Bali. Originally, we wanted to come to one of the more popular ones. Instead, we were suggested that this one is worth a try and might be better suited to our taste, so we were like, why not?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Besides, it is said that this place has been around for decades, so we assumed that they must be serving good stuff!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When we came, this place was not crowded - in fact we were the only guests. That however didn't stop us from trying the Nasi Campur Bali in this place. In fact, that was the only thing that we ordered (we have no idea whether they sell anything else or not, and to be honest, we didn't care). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can see from the above, the dish is very simply presented and preparation was also very quick. However, when we tasted it, it was clear that the amount of spice put in this dish is quite generous and tasty - definitely sticks out to our taste. The sate lilit and the chicken is the champion of the dish for us. For those who are looking forward for nasi campur halal in Bali, this place is definitely worth the visit. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Price wise, it was OK with around Rp 30 K per portion - not bad considering that prices of food in Bali is getting higher and higher as things becoming more and more commercialized.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Portion wise, it is on the OK side. It is actually quite fulfilling with the generous amount of rice. All we can say to this simple dish is that it was not disappointing and we are definitely visiting this place again in the future. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We went to Singapore a month ago and decided that this trip shall be a trip for culinary purposes - thus we decided to forget about weight loss for a while and have a go with anything delicious. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the few interesting places that we visited is Jamie's Italian in Vivo City Mall in HarbourFront. We've just finished our exciting trip in Universal Studios and, after spending a long time walking and queuing, we decided that it is a good idea to enjoy a nice food once in a while. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a very interesting place located just next to the harbor with a very nice view of the surroundings. Definitely the kind of environment you'd like to enjoy to chill out - and a nice place for a cup of coffee. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, it is clear that we are not here for any coffee at all - we want something Italian!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We ordered one appetizer and two pasta since we were relatively hungry at that time.</span></div>
<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We start with the Baked Mushrooms - which is Swiss browns with crispy “music bread” & smoked buffalo mozzarella as explained in the menu. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The mushrooms taste relatively fresh, however the bread underneath is somewhat soggy and the overall taste is somewhat bland - too bad.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the pasta we ordered was the Truffle Tagliatelle. Now, this stuff here is very amazing and rich in flavour. The truffle gives a very extravagant flavor and aroma, with just enough sauce to make it tasty and moist. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a definite must-try when you're visiting the restaurant. </span></div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next is the Pappardelle with Meatball. The pappardelle is rather unique with a wiggly shape - which actually gave it a rather interesting texture once eaten. The sauce is rich and fresh, and the meatball is also quite juicy - this is also a must try in the restaurant. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All in all, we spent around 80-90 SGD for the whole experience and will definitely return there. While eating we saw other delicious meals, and we might just want to give some of them a try in the future - after all, this is Jamie Oliver's restaurant.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Living in close proximity to Lotte Shopping Avenue gives me the comfort of trying out lots of things. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the places I have tried recently is Ninety-Nine Restaurant, located at the lower ground floor next to Ranch Market. I've read some reviews on this place and it seems that it serves a lots of cuisine types, including Indonesian. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Therefore, we decided to give it a shot for a light dinner (or that was the plan). Pictured below is the premise, not too crowded, but populated enough for us to enjoy the ambience.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We begin with the appetizer which is the Rustique Tomato Soup. Unexpectedly, this turns out to be really fresh and authentic. The tanginess and the rich tomato flavor do well to please the tongue. Texture-wise, it is rather smooth but still has a sparse amount of tomato chunks here and there. The basil on top also enriches the existing flavor. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Next one is the Lasagna. A very classic Italian dish, yet always being served differently according to the interpretation of the chefs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For this one, it is served with some greens on top</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and,as you can see on the left hand side some cheese is melting out. While the overall presentation might not be the key focus of this dish, we find that this dish is very tongue pleasing as well. Good combination of sauces inside, and the bachamel is not too thick. While both of us are committed cheese lovers, we find that this version of lasagna is good enough, although it can actually use a bit more salt with it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Just for fun, we decided to cut it open and took a picture of the layers inside. As you can see it is not too thick, and it's just right for those who wants to eat lightly. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last one is the Dory Fillet, served with tomato rice. The crunchiness of the Dory Fillet s just perfect and the rice gives you the opportunity to fulfill yourself. As you can see below, it is served with some capers, which might not be to everyone's liking (I like it though, it reminds me of black olives)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of (and probably the only) the reasons why we visit this place is primarily to eat the jajangmyeon (Korean noodle with black bean sauce with pork). The premise is very homey and traditional - and quite unassuming. Takes quite a while to find it the first time. Last time we came here, it was for dinner, and many Koreans were eating. I assume that this place is more to the authentic part rather than some of the 'localized' versions of Korean food.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, this place is probably one of the few Korean restaurants that offer Jajangmyeon in Jakarta, thus this is like a very rare gem that needs to be cherished.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We ordered two jajangmyeon and a plate of Tangsuyuk - fried pork with sweet sauce. The food are better explained through pictures though :</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tangsuyuk</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can see, the Tangsuyuk is basically fried meat (in this case pork) with sweet sauce with a variety of vegetables and pineapples - very unique combination in one plate. However, when we tried this one, it is a bit sweeter than what we have tried in some other places. On the other hand, the meat is very tender and pleasurable to eat.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The above two are the reason why we visit the place - the jajangmyeon. It is admittedly not easy to find a place that serves this. The portion is relatively large and satisfying. Taste is delicious, although there are more veggies than meat. Still the authentic feel is there. Overall - a satisfying experience. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We spent around Rp 250K - the tangsuyuk is somewhat pricey and the Jajangmyeon costs Rp 50K each - not bad for an authentic feel.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We do recommend you to try and see if the food served fits your taste - we personally would like to visit again to try some others stuff. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Real life has been crazy, so I haven't got time to go anywhere unique let alone blogging. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you noticed, recent posts have been about Italian foods and Pizza in particular. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would like to warn you that the this one is again about pizza. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, this place is not some luxury Italian stuff or even some fine dining. This is a place at a ruko in Gading Serpong, called LaCroazia, a humble, homey-styled Pizza where you can just simply sit down, eat, and chill just like in a neighborhood premise. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The business have been operating for 7 months as of now, and there have been lots of good reviews about this place, therefore I decided to travel all the way (and got lost of course) to Gading Serpong just to visit this place.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's a glimpse of the premise. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can see, that the owner making the thin crust pizza all by himself. Everything is hand made and home made, which for me personally gave a very special feeling to it.Personally for me, the Croatian flag makes this place awesome. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We ordered what can be considered two of the most favorite pizza there. The first one is the Mediterranasian, which is in general a unique combination of salad and pizza into one. Was quite surprised by the localized-style presentation, which is on top of a bamboo tray with banana leaves. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For us it was a very refreshing dish - the freshness of the ingredients plus the simplicity and originality of the pizza. I've never seen anything like this. The thin crust pizza simply makes you crave for more. The olives are mild-tasting, therefore anyone can enjoy it. I know a few people who can't enjoy olives, and I can guarantee they can eat this happily.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As expected, being a thin crust pizza topped with veggies, we craved for more, thus we ordered the LaCroazia pizza, which is their signature pizza.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This pizza has a tasty combination of salami, olives, mushroom, and cheese. The amount of cheese is particularly generous here. Gotta enjoy the guilty feeling. In total, we ate 2 pizza, although I believe I could eat another 2 slices. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Got some orange smoothie and margarita to close the meal.</span><br />

We read some good and bad reviews, so we thought we'll give it a try.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Sopra is located at the 2nd floor of Pacific Place near one of the escalators. From the outside, it does look like a very high end place and suitable for dating or family gatherings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
When we arrived, it wasn't too crowded and in fact when we left there were a few seats left, so you might not need to book first although it is always good to do so. </span><br />

We ordered one appetizer, which is the Tomato with Mozzarella, Pumpkin Gnocchi, and the Sopra Pizza. </span><br />

<br />
As an appetizer, the Tomato with Mozzarella works rather well. The freshness is maintained rather good and it is very well presented. I personally thought it could use more basil with it, as without it the whole serving is a bit too bland by itself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
The pumpkin Gnocchi is soft, tender, and tasty, as well as very rich in flavor. You cannot expect less from such a restaurant. While it might be a bit small in terms of the portion if you plan to eat by itself, we thought it was okay since we were sharing a lot of things.</span><br />

The pizza is probably the star of of the day as it is the most satisfying of them all. Thin crust pizza with the unique combination of flavour. We kinda forget the content of the pizza, however we can easily recommend it. Some of you might experience pizzas that are too thin or too cheesy, well not for this one, that for sure. </span><br />

As a dessert, we ordered the Pannacotta. Sadly, it didn't taste as good as some other places that we've tried. The texture could have been more mainstream instead of being too creative. </span><br />

All in all, we spent almost Rp 600K just for the two of us, so price is definitely rather high here compared with some other high-end Italian places with somewhat the same level. Frankly, it is not currently on our favorite list. However, feel free to give the place a visit should you are willing to try something new.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had the opportunity to participate in the Eat Jakarta food festival (or whatever you call it) and decided to book one of the most widely acclaimed Italian Restaurant in Jakarta - Rosso. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Located in Shangrila Hotel, one of the most prestigious hotel in town, the place is decorated elegantly with red colours, as the name suggests. It was not too crowded, although advance booking is recommended. The seating arrangement can be suited for all occasion - we obviously picked the corner spot as we were - of course - on a dinner date. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As we are aware that the 3-course meal would probably not enough for us anyway, we decided to order the Marinara Pizza to make sure we stay full after the meal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The complimentary breadsticks are served with unique sauces, the first one being a mixture of basil and olives, and the second one is (I think) a mixture of tomato and something (we can't figure it out till the end)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our appetizer is the Tomato Cream and Buffalo Ricotta Gnocchi in Basil Flavor. The gnocchi is very.very different compared with what we can usually found in other places. The texture is soft and the ricotta cheese filling is also very generous. The tomato cream is tangy and refreshing, and we do suggest eating both the sauce and the gnocchi in one spoon to feel the perfection in your mouth. Definitely rich of flavour (as well as vitamin C) and simply unforgettable. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A true Italian cuisine would always strive to highlight the freshness of each of the ingredients.. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Marinara Pizza is definitely one of the best pizza that I have tried from numerous high-end Italian restaurants. With a simple topping of tomato and oregano, the pizza does wonders to the tastebuds. It is very fresh, natural, original, and accentuates the original flavour of each of the ingredients.</span></div>

Furthermore, the sorbet in the middle combined with the mango cream gives a very refreshing dessert. Truly an artistic creation. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We admit that we're a bit sensitive on authenticity of foods - especially when they represent a certain culture or countries.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That is why we came to Ootoya. While it's not a newcomer, we think not many people had the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate this one-of-a-kind Japanese restaurant. It's not your typical sushi bar, ramen place, or even beef bowl. It provides authenticity and true Japanese cuisine. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I personally ordered the soba / buckwheat noodles. Served in a simple way, yet giving it the most original flavour and taste possible. The portion is rather fulfilling for one person, however I do recommend adding a side dish together with it to give you an extra experience. </span></div>

O<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">verall, I recommend this place if you are looking for authentic Japanese cuisine while you're on your mall trip. We spent around Rp 320 K here, really worth the experience. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's not always about the ramen and the sushi, or even the how many can you fit inside the bento box. It's about how the food is cooked, and the food that clearly accentuates the original flavour of the ingredients. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This place has been around for quite some time, and yet I only had the opportunity to go there just a few weeks ago. We have heard that they have one of the best Ddeokbokki (Korean Rice Cake) in town, so we thought this might be worth a visit.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, it is said that the name is derived from the fact that the food served are the typical school canteen food you can find in Korea. The place itself is well designed and not too crowded for a Saturday lunch. A nice dating spot - if dating with spicy ddeokbokki is your thing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To be honest, we were rather in a diet mood for personal reasons. However, one of our key principles is to have a pleasurable dieting experience. Therefore, we ordered the Original Ddeokbokki, Hamburg Rice, and Pajeon. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's begin with the Pajeon. It was the kind that we've always wanted. Not too starchy, however still crunchy and clearly has a certain egg-taste. Stop reading and start drooling. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now start reading again. In addition, we ordered the hamburg rice. A simple dish yet very satisfying and yummy. A bit more egg, but we think it was fine. Meat was very tender and juicy and the sauce compliments the rice perfectly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The real deal is of course their original </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Ddeokbokki. Korean food lovers would definitely know how these little chewy gems taste like, however we should probably warn you that it is spicier than they usually are in some other Korean restaurants. Awesome taste and will definitely wake you up.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coco Curry is located on the 4th floor (3A, actually) of Grand Indonesia, next to Disc Tarra. With the bright yellow signs and lighting, you really can't miss it. It's a very nice place and have a really nice vibe with it. The franchise is actually one of the biggest curry house from Japan and is widely acclaimed to be having the best curry. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For me it's up to personal judgement as curries tend to give a similar experience. However, there are some things which may make several differences. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are many options in which you can customize your curry. You can choose the amount of rice, ranging from 150 gram to 500 if I remember correctly. Then you can also choose the spiciness (up to level 5) and the additional toppings, such as sausages, croquettes, and many more - I lost count. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We both ordered the level 2 (which turned out to be not that spicy for us). One of them is the Beef Cutlet Katsu Curry and the other one is Beef Hamburg Curry. I added an additional Potato Croquette. with the Katsu Curry. We both ordered the 150 gr rice for each plate. Also for fun, we ordered the crispy chicken salad with it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pictured above is the Minced Beef Katsu Curry with Potato Croquette toppings (you get two pieces per order). Why not chicken katsu? Just because. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The taste of the curry is, by far, the most amazing curry I've ever tried in Jakarta. It has the perfect balance of spiciness and flavor with it (at least for level 2). Not to mention that, while it's admittedly hard to judge one curry over another, this one gives a distinct shout of quality throughout every spoon you take.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They also serve the katsu well - the meat is very tender and juicy and fried to perfection. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for the croquette, they are more into the chewy and creamy part, and might be too soft and mochi-like to some people. Actually the curry itself would've been perfect already without the toppings.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now the Beef Hamburg itself is a surprise - contrary to popular cooking method, this one is not pan-fried but seemed to be steamed. Some people might prefer pan-fried, however this one is also good and gives a healthier option for you. Even though it is steamed,. the juiciness and tenderness stays. Still a good one and worth a try. The </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Minced Beef Katsu Curry</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> still wins though, in our opinion. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With two drinks, and all of the above ordered, we spent around Rp 202 K for it. Personally, it's worth all the money and the price is not too bad considering the superior quality of the curry.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This place has been my favorite but I always forgot to take some pictures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Earlier this month we visited this little gem called Ta-Chia in Muara Karang. This place is well known for it's Bak Kut Teh, although it also has some noodles too. In this post, I'm going to share my experience with the Bak Kut Teh.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those of you who are not familiar with it, it is basically a pork ribs soup, traditionally served together with oolong tea, which was believed to be able to dilute the fat after you consume the soup. A common misconception is that the soup itself contains tea, which is not. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The place itself is a simple and no-frills place, comfortable enough to dine for two as well as for family gathering. There are a lot of choices within the menu, therefore feel-free to browse through it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We ordered two of the Bak Kut Teh, which itself contains the pork ribs as well as some other different cuts of meat. The soup itself is very heartwarming and has a delicious herbal taste - perfect if you are into herbal food. It doesn't feel too fatty or oily, therefore you can enjoy the soup guilt-free. The pieces of pork themselves have been infused perfectly with the taste of the soup, making the whole bowl enjoyable to the maximum. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Within the soup, you will have a whole clove of garlic, which further enhance the taste. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course, it would not be perfect without some dumplings (wo tie) to accompany the soup and a plate of cakwe for perfection's sake. The pork dumplings are very soft yet crispy. Definitely will get you asking for more</span>. </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With the dumpling, cakwe, 2 portion of Bak Kut Teh, and 2 drinks, I only paid no more than Rp 170K. For such a unique and rich taste, I believe the value for money is rather good. It's kinda hard to find a good Bak Kut Teh in Jakarta, and this is one of them. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For some reason, both of us ended up eating Ramen three times in three months. While it's not a record or whatever, we have this irresistible urge to share what we ate.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back in October, right after watching Thor, we went to <b>Ikkudo in Central Park</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> A nice, straightforward Ramen with Pork. No fancy stuff. Taste was superb and exactly what we're looking for in a ramen</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unlike most of other people (maybe), we ordered the curry ramen. Yes, curry. I personally love it to the maximum level. It also help clears stuffy nose, which I was suffering from when we were enjoying this. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> We both ordered the same thing and had a plate of karaage just for additional fun. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I ordered the Tsuke-men special and she ordered the spicy one. Tsuke-men this time. This is the spotlight of this experience as I haven't found any Tsuke-men anywhere (or I'm probably just uninformed). Basically you're supposed to dip the ramen in the sauce as the ramen itself is not warm. The sauce is rather salty, and the spicy sauce is VERY spicy.Overall, still a good adventure. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just yesterday, we visited this unique restaurant called Le Quartier at Jalan Gunawarman No.34 after a friend's recommendation.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can't miss it actually, it's on the left side of the road after you take the right turn to the street passing KFC (I have to mention it for direction's sake). </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For your convenience, booking is very recommended. Right after entering, you'll enjoy a comfortable ambience which enables you to enjoy your dinner with your friends or with your special one. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since there are 5 of us, surely we ordered different stuffs. We started the meal with the Pizza with Bacon and Truffle Oil, with rocket salad in the middle. The pizza was very enjoyable and gives a certain flavour and aroma of Truffle. Very unique, very tasty. Definitely a recommended dish should you come here.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I reviewed two of their recommended food (recommended as in what people say), which is the Butterflied Chicken and the Pan-Seared Barramundi with Lemon Butter Sauce. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the chicken, flavour wise I can't say it's too special or too plain. It's somehow just being chicken. The gravy is the saviour though.. The texture of the chicken is actually just right. Very tender and easy to cut and consume. The portion is rather large, and served with baked potato and some vegetables. it is definitely quite fulfilling.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the fish, the champion in here is the lemon butter sauce. While the fish is just alright in terms of flavour and texture, the white beans are the let-down of the dish as the texture is rather hard to chew. Could've been better with baked beans instead, perhaps. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All 5 of us decided to order 2 kinds of desserts : the apple pie and creme brulee. To be honest, they are not too special, but quite enough to satisfy some sweet tooth. The apple pie is served with whipped cream and some apple chips. Texture of the pie is soft with minimal crust - it was dominated by the apple itself. The green stuff on top are some apple slices - NOT cucumber.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All 5 of us spent at almost Rp 300K per person, including pizza, main course for each person, and two desserts. For a french-themed restaurant, can't say it's too bad, although we have yet to find the dish which is the best among the best</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While the food has its ups and downs, we believe it deserves our second chance. We might give a try to the pasta next time, and perhaps with the steak. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The restaurant is called Yun Sin or Sahabat, just a few meters away from Kebun Raya Bogor, and conveniently located near the Bogor Palace. Can't really miss it, although getting there can be tricky (you literally have to go against traffic to park there - if there's a parking spot).</span></span><br />

The brown chili sauce is already provided and it is home-made, giving it a very distinct taste. On the above picture, it is the one with the red cap.</span></span><br />

These little gems are very crunchy and have the perfect balance of meat and flour, not to mention the hint of sesame oil. We even ordered another portion for take away and eat at home for snacking purposes. While it's not something that I recommend to do everyday, once in a while you should give it a shot. </span></span><br />

Obviously, back with some delicious foodies. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Both of us were craving for some Thai food goodness, so based on my special one's experience, she often visits this premise and I thought this was worth a visit. The place is kinda hard to get, so do not hesitate to give the restaurant a call to assist you in finding the exact location.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Located quite close to residential areas, the location is rather hidden. Luckily we were able to easily find it by driving rather *slowly*.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's begin with the Seafood Tom Yum itself. Fresh, yummy, and not too spicy. Definitely an original taste. Some Thai restaurants often make their Tom Yum too spicy. This one is a true exception from that. </span></div>
