Sushi Sen PIK (Pantai Indah Kapuk) Jakarta


A new Japanese food place in PIK, Sushi Sen, it is located at Ruko Crown Golf beside BC's Cone. It has been around 2 months since my last visit, an issue about the water in this area pulled down the hype for quite a while. But it's getting better. Anyway, talking about PIK, this place is already packed with dessert cafe and restaurants, come under Japanese restaurant. How about sushi? Answering the question, Sushi Sen is ready to serve modern Japanese food for lunch and dinner. Unlike most restaurants in PIK, they open for lunch until 2 pm and open again for dinner at 5.30 pm. 

Main door is beside the building, sliding door, Japanese ornaments, dominated with wood color. There are two seating area, must say that they really take it seriously for the interior, though I did not notice something catchy still it was like anywhere else but in PIK.



Started with Marinated Salmon Carpaccio (IDR 98.000) as the appetizer. Sliced salmon marinated in sour salty soy sauce topped with avocado paste, ikura (salmon roe), and wasabi leaf. Tuna and salmon aburi are favorite but I've never been really a fan of sashimi though when it comes to carpaccio, I really can't say no. Salmon was not fishy, the sauce was fresh yet tangy, to balance everything, mild avocado on top. 



Eating veggies is something that surely important, it's a relief that I have no problem eating them. Salad is definitely my fondness, Indonesian style, western, and of course Japanese. Wakame Salad (IDR 35.000) that always be on the top of my list, one that I often put in order at every Japanese restaurant, their version was quite nice, wise portion, my selection was with sesame dressing (you can't go wrong with it), the other two, house dressing and wafu. It consists of iceberg lettuce, sweet corn, wakame, chuka wakame, and dill. Sour yet nutty sesame dressing was perfect for my palate, also the crispy rice noodles on top, it's edible, I mean better than one that commonly found at some other places as I take it just as garnish.


Saving the best for the last? This is Special Gyu Don with Foie Gras (IDR 153.000) warm steamed white rice topped with sliced beef, onsen egg, and foie gras. Beef was tender, tasty sauce, creamy egg, and that crispy fried garlic!! Actually the original Gyu Don is only IDR 88.000 but if you want special topping it will cost you additional IDR 70.000 for uni (sea urchin) and IDR 65.000 for foie gras. Too bad that the uni was not available, better luck next time, maybe during lunch. 



Call me classic, Ocha (IDR 9000) is just enough for me. Verdict? Currently the best answer for Japanese food in PIK, anyway, their Gyu Don is a must try.

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
