The Brunch Club at Potato Head Pacific Place Jakarta


What's the best thing to do in weekend? We, Asian do love having noodles in Sunday morning but there's a time for a luscious Egg Benedict don't you think so? Last weekend, I spent my Sunday noon at Potato Head Jakarta to try their special brunch menu that is available only on Saturday - Sunday and public holiday 11 am to 3 pm. OK if you're reading my writing on social media or here for quite a while, you may notice that ya most of the time I eat fruits for breakfast. Trying to keep fit because most of the time I went voracious when eating my lunch. But brunch should be just enough to fulfill hunger and pamper taste buds.

Started with Ricotta Salad (IDR 130.000), homemade ricotta flavoured with basil served with semi-dried tomato confit, local organic romaine lettuce and cheese croutons. Looks pretty appealing yet super tasty, mild cheesy taste just perfect with sweet semi-dried tomato. Potato 'En Cocotte' (IDR 100.000) baked egg and mashed potato, served with cheese baked crouton and spicy oriental herb sauce. Soft and creamy mashed potato combined with soft baked egg, a very nice combination though I'd rather have one with Provencal ratatouille instead of the oriental herb sauce. 


Ever heard about secret menu? Some fast food chains in America are known for the secret menu, one that I really want to try is the Animal Style Fries from In-N-Out Burger oh wish they will open a branch here. Potato Head has kind of the same thing, a dish that is not on the menu but surely you can order it, simply ask for the Wake Up Sandwich. Guacamole-like avocado spread over a piece of toasted sourdough bread accompanied with sweet potato fries, carbs overload! It's a dish that totally suit my palate. Chewy bread, tangy - a bit sour avocado spread with onion bites, fresh enough to wake you up and kick off the day.


Knowing that here they really take it seriously, from the kitchen on to the table. It's nice to know that organic stuffs are involved. Verdict? Good food, there are some healthy dishes to choose (I am happy), also vegetarian friendly. Ricotta Salad is definitely winning me and the Wake Up Sandwich is a reason for me to go back.

Resep: Salmon Mentai Rice | Beef Shirataki Mentai

Image
It's delicious but really I could not finish one portion, yes thank's to the amount of mayo. So, let's just share.  Mentai Rice , it's actually very easy to make as long as you have kitchen blow torch or use the oven to broil the mentaiko sauce. The sauce itself is made from mayonaise, preferably Japanese mayo like Kewpie and mentaiko (pollock roe / cod roe). If it's hard to find then simply replace it with tobiko (flying fish roe). Please do not skip the fish roe. Anyway, I bought the mentaiko from Tokopedia around IDR 270k for 500 grams, that's a lot, I know. Alternatively, take a look at Papaya Supermarket or other big supermarket as mentaiko is kinda hard to find here. I made 3 dishes with this Mentai sauce, the first one is the one with crabstick served with rice that mixed with nori powder, you can also use furikake. The second is nori rice with salmon aburi. Lastly, sweet and savory beef with garlic butter shirataki noodles. Well, the last one is definite

Resep: Savory Waffle (Pepperoni + Cheddar Cheese) Resep

Image
I've made waffle many times, and I prefer of light and crispy waffle to bread-like waffle. Adding some tapioca flour gives a quite significant result, also separating the egg though mostly I skipped that phase. Anyway, waffles are great with syrup, chocolate, fruits, and ice cream but have you ever tried savory waffle? With bacon, smoked chicken, sausage, cheese, or pepperoni. Freshly made waffles are best, when making waffles make sure that you have all the toppings ready on the table.  Ingredients : 1.5 cup all purpose flour 1 cup tapioca flour 2 eggs 1/2 cup plain yogurt 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp baking soda 1 cup milk 1/4 cup melted butter 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup pepperoni, sliced 1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced 1/4 cup red cheddar cheese, grated salt to taste few tbsp of water, if needed Directions : For the dry mixture, add flour, tapioca, salt, baking soda, and baking powder into a bowl, mix well. In another bowl combine egg, yogurt, melted butter, oil, and milk. Co

Nomz Kitchen & Pastry Grand Indonesia: New Menu

Image
Ones behind Nomz, Arnold Poernomo and Pastry Chef Kim Pangestu. Famous for their sweet treats, but how's the food? At this time, I'd like to introduce some of their new menu. First let's start with something fresh, salad. I've been a fan of Nomz's Tomato Salad for quite a while, now they have two more, Middle Eastern Salad (IDR 80.000) and Fried Calamari Salad (IDR 60.000). Not for everyone, but me as one who really into greens. Calamari salad might suit to people in common, dressed with balsamic lemon, topped with fresh arugula, coriander, and shaved parmesan. My guessing it's balsamic reduction as it's sweeter than balsamic vinegar. Meanwhile, Middle Eastern Salad is actually tabbouleh, usually made using bulgur but they replaced it with quinoa , yes for superfood! Pretty healthy yet fulfill the hunger longer. Have no idea what's quinoa ? Google it, it's 2015, eat your superfood!  Move on to  Nomz Prawn Roll (IDR 105.000) garlic chili prawn, gr
