Lobo Restaurant At The Ritz Carlton Jakarta


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.

Next, Hokkaido Scallop with Parmesan Crumble, sautéed bok choy, passion fruit, and orange. Sometimes, it's not always about the cooking method but also the fine ingredient, sweet scallop, savory crumble, fresh citrus. One that successfully increased my appetite, King Prawn Carpaccio with Kefir Lime Oil, Cilantro, and Sambal, accompanied by mesclun salad and caramelized pineapple chip on top. 


King Prawn Carpaccio

Foie Gras Tortellini with porcini cream sauce and Pecorino al Tartufo Cheese, it was like Italian food in French way. Personally, I never get bored with fresh pasta, and it was really tasty, with strong cheese flavor, and distinctive taste of foie gras. I knew, it's not made for everyone but definitely a yes for me.




Crispy Half Suckling Pig with Apple Puree, Pineapple Lemongrass Puree, and Gravy. Who's really into pork dishes? Sous-vide before the roasting process creates a super juicy meat with light and crispy skin. Super porky to my palate, but thanks to the herby roasted baby potatoes and pineapple puree that balanced out everything in one bite. Seriously the skin was unlike any other I've ever had (of course, in a good way). I find that sous-vide is a really incredible cooking method when it comes to meat. Slow cooking process inside plastic bag, using water as the media, I said, you can't go wrong with sous-vide. 



The dessert, served on a sort of granite plate, something modern and artsy, molecular gastronomy kind of dessert. From frozen mousse to ginger infused watermelon cubes, crumbs, caramel and raspberry sauce, coconut ice cream was amazing, one that I like the most. Have you ever been to Lobo? Do you agree me? Share your experience, anyway the King Prawn Carpaccio is a must to order.

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
