But what about Korean BBQ with quality ingredients like A5 Wagyu? Well, Hwaro has a Weekend Brunch concept with all-you-can-eat menus. Let me start with the inside. From the outside, the restaurant appears to be an ordinary four-story facility with plenty of parking.

Bahasa l English This May, Union Jakarta, a well-known high-end dining, launched a new innovation. Perhaps you're already familiar with a bagel, but there's a new way to enjoy it here.

Bahasa l English Jakarta's restaurant industry is growing rapidly. This semester, there are many new restaurants in the Jakarta area. This time, I went to the Charkoal restaurant, operated by Ismaya, an F&B industry group in Indonesia for a long time. Many of you may be familiar with its restaurants. Charkoal is located in the SCBD neighborhood, which is well-known as a high-end destination for Jakarta society. With a capacity that is not too much and feels more intimate. The simple lighting setting adds an elegant subtlety, and there is an ember showcase in keeping with the Charkoal brand. The concept is not a joke; the entire food production procedure here uses embers from actual charcoal, with no gas stoves. Another intriguing fact is that dozens of natural fermentation ingredients in the jar are used as one of the keys to the flavor of each dish. The dinner set meal is available in two options: 14 and 17 courses.   The second session, which I attended this time, began at 0...

Bahasa l English This unique story was when I visited a restaurant in the South Jakarta area. Golden Joy is a family restaurant with a Chinese Indian concept. Well, unexpectedly the owner of this restaurant turns out to be from India but of Chinese descent family. Looks like an oriental Asian face but is able to speak Indian fluently. The interior of the restaurant is oriental and has touches of red or gold which are synonymous with Chinese vibes. The restaurant's capacity is quite large from an indoor space with round tables, an outdoor area, and 2 VIP rooms. Of course, this is a highly recommended restaurant for celebrating events. According to the concept, Golden Joy offers a variety of Chinese dishes which are actually quite familiar. However, if you pay attention, many dishes use typical Indian spices and seasonings. One of the highlight menus is Manchurian Gobi. So this is an Indian-style vegetarian dish. Use cauliflower cooked with herbs and spices such as onions, ginger, co...
