Local Eatery with modern Concept, The Fame - Food Art Menteng Est, Central Jakarta

Warteg is traditional eatery we may found alot in town. As usual, warteg only serving various of Indonesian home foods with traditional style. This time i'd like to mention the warteg with modern style called The Fame.

It is located at Sabang street, Central Jakarta. We know this area has been crowded with many eateries also office and department store. Actually The Fame is same located with Martabak Boss, one of hits martabak spot in town. From the street we may see a huge bright with lights signage which is really clear about this restaurant.

similar with traditional warteg, i saw a various cuisines ready when we came in the restaurant. But in here we also available to order ala carte from the menu. They also serve various of satay with many kind of sauces we may choose.

At first, i found out some waiters are not capable enough to explain about the menu like example how many skewer on one plate also how many piece the squid in a portion. At least took about 15 minutes for us to order our food.

First dish come out is the Chicken Satay with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. 




Another mistake is i was order Chicken Satay with Mango Sauce which is out of stock, then i change it to Padang Sauce. In fact, what came out is not what i expected. But good thing is this thai sauce is not bad at all.

satay is using breast part of chicken, i like it though even it is taste like grill chicken breast than a grilled skewers. Don't forget to dip it in the sauce to get spicy sweet taste since the satay is plain.

Next dish is Salted Squid. 



It is sauteed squids with shellots, chili and onions. It is really salty, so make sure you order white rice to eat along with it. But the the squid have too tight texture, not tender enough.

Last dish i order is sauteed bean sprouts with salted fish. 



First came out, it is smells really good. Beautiful bean sprouts with bright color and fresh perfect with golden brown of salted fish. It is taste good, really match with the rice and i am sure recommended for this one.

Tom's by Tom Aikens, The Langham Jakarta

Bahasa l English A sunny weekend where the pandemic conditions in Indonesia have been getting better lately. Activities in public spaces are getting normal, so we can find some places with crowds. One of them is this restaurant which took a few weeks for me to make a reservation in advance because it was full every weekend. The Langham Jakarta has only been operating this year and has attracted great enthusiasm from Jakarta's community. No exception with the restaurant which was built with a luxurious British concept and developed by a chef from England, Tom Aikens who manages a Michelin Star restaurant in London. Carrying the name Tom's by Tom Aikens with a variety of classic British dishes. The location of this restaurant is on the L floor, the reception area, and arguably the 62nd floor.

Bahasa l English A favorite destination for the Jakarta community, which is famous for its hawker centers, from street food, restaurants to elegant lounge bars. This week, another good news for restaurant and bar fans, Black Owl is back in operation from the previous location in the PIK 1 area, now they are presented new location with a different concept. As soon as you pass through this area, you can clearly see the Black Owl with a black building with an owl logo on it. Seen the parking area is quite large and still not too crowded during the day. Once inside, we will pass through a hallway with a very high ceiling. My suggestion is it's best to make a reservation in advance to save your table. Black Owl comes with a restaurant and bar concept, a very stunning interior with dominant dark colors such as black and dark wooden material throughout the large room. The dim lights look calm and elegant, and what's amazing is the giant LCD screen that stretches to the ceiling. There
