Shabuya, Central Park Mall, West Jakarta

Sunday night before start another weekday, suddenly i thought about soup i could get for dinner. Especially caught the cold day. While exploring Central Park Mall, i decided to go to Shabuya. A Japanese restaurant at there on level 1st Central Park Mall. It is spotted at the corner front of mall, next to Sushi Tei. At 7.00pm, this restaurant seems quiet. I just get in there, and waitress start offering the menu and i tend to look a while for the menu. Actually they are serving shabu set with some kinds and also an ala carte menu. I am think it would be convenient if i taking a shabu set which is got a set of meat or seafood, bowl of vegetables and free appetizers also fruits dessert. First come out is Pozhu sauce, it is dipping sauce for the dishes.

Delicate Chinese Food, Soup Restaurant, Senayan City

Been long time chinese dish spread out around the world, and we surely found many chinese restaurant in town. This time i'd like to tell about one restaurant at Senayan City, South Jakarta. It's Soup Restaurant, spotted at lv.4. From at the front, this place absolutely has chinese concept by the interior. Basicly they are serving soups with variants but they also serve main chinese cuisines, just like Ta wan, Njun Njan, or imperial kitchen. But i can tell they have different taste and flavor than others. Lunch started by small plate of boiled peanuts with chili sauce, peanuts taste sweey, soft texture and sauce bit sour but nice indeed.

Factory Of Meat, The Fctory, Lippo Mall Puri

Dinner time on weekend always great moment to hunting new food spots. Here now i went to Fctry Bistro & Bar, it's located at Lippo Mall puri area. It is not exactly inside the mall, but you need to out of the lobby and take a side of the mall. I am not quiet familiar yet with this mall, and it is huge mall indeed. Fctry Bistro & Bar is western restaurant with rustic concept, dark color and using pipes for the wall decoration. menu here, mostly their main dish is using meats as the main ingredients, especially pork and beef. But don't worry, it also got salmon, dory or any salads there. Before start our dish, we welcomed by bunch of breads.

In this restaurant, we may choose our own sea creatures to get on cooked by our choice of sauce or flavors. We would

Olivier, Grand Indonesia Mall, Central Jakarta

Another Fusion Restaurant just open in town. Olivier at Grand Indonesia Mall has been run about couple months. From it name, it is obviously Western style restaurant, but in fact they also serve variant of Asian cuisines.  From the outside, european typical elements is really strong wooden with glass door, dark color either brown or dark brown, we may see a pastry displayed when come inside restaurant, and then we would approach the receptionist counter after pass through it. At dinner time, this place is quiet crowded at the bar, for note in this restaurant we would see non-smoking area is close with the window and side door, for smoking are would right inside the restaurant since they also has a bar corner. Since i am prefer non-smoking area, so waitress lend us table just right next to the window where we could see outside of the streets, building of Grand Indonesia Mall. Before start our main dish, welcoming bread is come out first. what is bit funny is, waiter is

This time i try seafood for my dinner at Pondok Pangandaran at Greenville, West Jakarta Area. Actually i had another branch at Kelapa Gading quiet time ago.

In fact, it seems this restaurant has been runned by family management. It has quiet many customers, very noisy and loud both of customers and even the waiters or services back at the kitchen. we may hear loud voice

European - Asian Dining, Ninety Nine, Pesanggrahan

Been lately, i always do little experiment of cooking. find new recipe by online is one of easiest thing to do. What major problem is looking for unfamiliar ingredients at supermarket. I tend go to Ranch Market and Foodhall where we could find more imported products and ingredients. Even though not all ingredients are completed, but at least we may found some other alternative. This time i am looking for double cream to make a Tiramisu, actually i had been some of supermarket in town, but what i found only whipped cream, cooking cream, sour cream and i couldn't find the double cream. So i decided to just use whipped cream, i assume it's not thick as double cream, but it may useable.
