Noodle King PIK - Jakarta: Korean Noodle Feast


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.

The Couple: Jjajangmyeon 짜장면 and Tangsuyuk 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't want to share my Jjajangmyeon. Savor it with light and crispy fried pork that dipped into slimy sweet and sour sauce, Tangsuyuk. Some people like it to dip it and some prefer to pour the sauce over the fried pork. FYI, they also have the chicken version.

Cheese Buldak

Decided to order this just because I'm into anything with cheese. Buldak, "bul" translate to fire, and "dak" means chicken in Korean. It was not too spicy to my palate (I can go crazy with chili), but in general it's spicy. 



The Best Bibim Naengmyeon 비빔냉면 I've Ever Had in Jakarta

Chewy buckwheat noodles topped  with spicy sweet sour savory sauce made from gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) as the main ingredient. Unexpected finding, I said, this place has a super tasty Bibim Naengmyeon, especially the icy broth, fresh umami-like, it took sometimes for me to describe. Mustard and fruity vinegar are the mandatory condiments for eating bibim naengmyeon, love it with splash of vinegar and more sesame oil. As here in Indonesia we might find it weird, eating cold noodles, even more with cold broth, I knew that it's not for everyone but me, I really really love it especially for lunch. 

Definitely the first place on my mind when it comes to Jjajangmyeon and Bibim Naengmyeon, have you been to Noodle King? Let me know if you're agree or not.

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
