Dinner with French Ambassador, Amuz Gourmet, Central Jakarta

Bahasa l English

Good France 2018! One of the most interesting event each year. International festival with thousands of world restaurants participating. Do not miss in Jakarta there are 15 restaurants that participated in this festival. Amuz Gourmet, a popular French restaurant in the society of Jakarta. A fine dining concept with an authentic French menu combined with an elegant restaurant interior.
This dinner i had the opportunity to be with the French Ambassador, Monsieur Jean Charles Berthonnet. With some Jakarta media, at Good The France dinner we were presented with some signature dishes from Amuz. Entering a private space with a capacity of 10 people, it looks clear decor and interior are elegant and classic.
The first food served is baked gougeres, French choux pastry combined with delicious cheese flavor. The texture is super soft and delicious when eaten warm. Then proceed with a cold soup dish, green pea gazpacho & salmon roe also a gorgeous Sake Poach Chill King Prawn wrapped in cucumber. Creamy soup flavor with the dominant green pea aroma and some seeds that give texture. Fresh prawn with perfect texture blend perfectly.
The main menu using quality ingredients are Crispy Pan-Roasted Barramundi Fish, Home Made Basil Fettucine Vongole. Barramundi fish with crisp and savory layers of skin, soft white meat texture with fresh light Marinière Sauce. Then comes with cherry tomato and olive niçoises.
With the concept of French food, of course cheese into a must-have dish at this event. Several choices of cheese with different flavors from the shape, aroma, color, texture and taste are interesting. In addition, the more enjoyable dinner when accompanied by red wine is delicious.
The last menu is no less exciting: Orange Creme Brûlée, a beautiful dessert dish with sweet Creme Brûlée on soft almond short bread, then cold mandarin sorbet with fresh sour taste.
The dinner experience in celebration of Goût de France 2018 in Amuz is one of the best moments and this restaurant certainly deserves to be the choice to enjoy French cuisine in Jakarta. In addition, along with Monsieur Berthonnet, I certainly get quite useful insights into the culture of France. Do not forget thanks to Chef Gilles Marx who serves the food perfectly from both presentation and taste quality.

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.

Black Owl, PIK, Jakarta

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
