Cafélulu, Lippo Mall Kemang, South Jakarta

Bahasa l English

Kemang has always been one of Jakarta's society destinations to meet each other with friends, gathering in cafes and restaurants spread throughout the area. Do not miss Lippo Mall Kemang always crowded by visitors almost every day. This Cafélulu only operates about a month, classified as very new for a restaurant business.

Once inside the restaurant, I feel for a moment like the atmosphere in a cafe at Bali. The green foliage that adorns the restaurant gives a touch of shade, soft colors throughout the room gives a bright impression. Equipped with a large bar station with chandeliers that attract enough. In addition, there is a section of pastry and bakery in the corner of the restaurant with the brand Kitte which is a group with Cafélulu.

The visit this time I had the opportunity to taste some of the menu mainstay of Cafélulu which consists of various Western, Asian to Indonesian menu. Lunch time is quite a lot with menu variants from appetizers such as Negima Yakitori, Onion String and Meatball Marinara. A modern fusion menu with a blend of several styles, yet every meal has a flavor that is moderated for the people of Jakarta.

Then salads can also be an option as appetizers such as Caesar Salad with a large serving, grated beef bacon that is crisp and tasty and can be for sharing or Rainbow Poke Bowl, a quinoa bowl with some varied toppings. It feels fresh with a little sour taste, a tender shredded salmon makes this salad special.

For heavy meals try a variety of pizzas or pastas like Ham & Cheese Pizza, with thin slices of crisp texture with a ham and cheese topping melted on top. Salty savory taste into typical pizza over here, in accordance with the concept of the menu here adapted to the tongue of Jakarta. Do not miss the pasta like Vongole, pasta texture is quite al dente, but the spicy taste of chilli dominates the whole taste of pasta.

In addition to Western, of course there are unique Indonesian foods such as quinoa fried rice. Instead of rice, they are using quinoa at the main ingredient. The resulting flavor is just like typical Indonesian fried rice, it's just a rougher quinoa texture but it's an experience of enjoying a unique Indonesian meal.

After enjoying some heavy meals, do not miss Kitte's exciting dessert cake. There is a choice of cakes that are varied and of course a beautiful presentation. Peanut Butter has become one of my favorites here, the flavor is legit and dense also the pastry texture is crunchy and tender when it is enjoyed. Eclair can also be a fun option, the bold and premium chocolate flavor makes it very delightful.

The lunch experience at Cafélulu was a very pleasant moment. The atmosphere of a modern restaurant and bright make us quite comfortable to spend time here. Various menu and flavors that are adapted to the Jakarta community become the positive points of Cafélulu. With fair dining price, they also did a quick serving timing.
