ALL IN ONE

It's located at the lobby level of The Ritz Carlton Mega Kuningan , it's not an Italian restaurant but they have more to offer, from mouth-watering appetizers to sweet delightful desserts. To describe Lobo Restaurant , a contemporary fine dining, with luxurious interior, genial service, and of course good food. This May, a new Chef de Cuisine from a Michelin Star Restaurant in Bordeaux, France named Chef Jan Scwittalla will be part of Lobo Restaurant. Yes, he's German, and I personally very curious about what will he do, probably French dishes or with a twist of German cuisine. Anyway, I've heard that Lobo is famous for its Steak selection but last week I got a chance to savor some other dishes from the menu, shall we start with the welcome bread? I chose chewy pretzel over soft bread just because it's pretzel. Pretzel Next, Hokkaido Scallop with Parmesan Crumble,  sautéed  b ok choy, passion fruit, and orange. Sometimes, it's not always about the cooking metho

A fulfilling Japanese snack, my version of Okonomiyaki with bacon and cheese. You can do it without bacon if you don't eat pork or replace it with beef bacon, most of people use pork belly but I thought why not bacon? Talking about the ingredients, you surely can add pretty much anything from chicken to seafood and for the veggies, cabbage is a must, in addition I like it with sweet corn. Some of the uncommon ingredients such as okonomiyaki sauce, dashi , aonori , and katsuobushi can be found at certain supermarket in Jakarta such as Grand Lucky, Ranch Market, KemChick, Papaya Fresh Gallery, and AEON Supermarket in Serpong. Ingredients : 1 cup all purpose flour 3/4 cup water 1 cup cabbage 1/4 cup ham / smoked beef 1/2 cup assorted seafood or chicken 2 eggs 3 stalks scallion, thinly sliced 2-4 slices bacon 1/2 tsp dashi salt to taste Toppings : okonomiyaki sauce cheese mayonaise aonori (green nori) katsuobushi (bonito flakes) sliced scallion Watch the video for the directions

If I may ask you, what's your favorite Japanese Food, probably sushi and ramen are the most common, how about Kushiyaki? Skewered and grilled meat and vegetables, the most famous Kushiyaki is Yakitori (grilled skewered chicken). Last week, I went to Sumire Japanese Restaurant at Grand Hyatt Jakarta , dominated with Japanese, very busy during lunch time (remember it's inside a 5 stars hotel), convinced me that this place is certainly special. the private room sushi bar This month, they have promotion for Kushiyaki set, starting with only IDR 265k++ salad, rice, and drink are included. First, it's affordable, secondly, it was sooo good. To describe my beef kushiyaki, it came on pot with charcoal on the bottom, they use certain Japanese charcoal that doesn't create too much smoke. Five skewers in total, asparagus, shiitake mushrooms, beef cubes,beef roll, and beef tongue. My uber favorite is the beef cubes, super tender and juicy. Those skewers came along with a bowl of s

I personally always get excited when it comes to Korean Food, and seriously this place is a must visit if you're into Korean Food. Focusing on serving noodle dishes, from the most popular Jjajangmyeon to the skeptic Bibimnaengmyeon , and yes myeon means noodle. As in the other Korean restaurants, you'll get baechu kimchi , the most common kimchi that made from napa cabbage, it's free and it's possible to ask for a refill. I've tasted many when I was in Korea also at some places here in Jakarta, personally the kimchi here is one of best to my liking. If you notice that it's located beside Shirokuma, previously it was Hanok Korean Grill, so they changed the concept from Korean BBQ to modern noodle house. baechu kimchi The Couple: Jjajangmyeon   짜장면 and   Tangs uyuk   탕수육 Chewy noodles with thick salty black bean sauce, sweet onion for balance flavor, sesame seeds on top, a comforting dish. Portion was quite generous, perfect for two persons, but really I don&#
