Some interesting menu such as huevos racheros served on pan, Mexican food, minced beef processed with tomato sauce, eggs then complete with classic salsa and fresh avocado slices. A very seductive appearance, a dominant taste with tomatoes. The minced beef is somewhat not so much taste where only the taste of salty and sour is overall of it.

For Asian menu, Crab Fried Rice can be the right choice. Fried rice with shredded crab meat then served with soy sauce and chili aside. The savory taste of salty that matches the taste of Jakarta's tongue tastes good. To add a spicy sensation, can be combined with chili sauce served but will add a dominant saltiness.
