Buns & Meat Jakarta: Home For Amazing Pork Dishes


True that today it's much easier to find pork dishes in a restaurant in Jakarta. Back to few years ago, it's quite hard, unless in a Chinese restaurant. From Kuala Lumpur to Jakarta, Buns & Meat offers more than just a burger, I said amazing pork dishes. It is located at Ruko Crown Golf Pantai Indah Kapuk, close to First, let's start with something fresh, I got fresh apple juice, what I like is because they separated the sugar syrup so you can really adjust the amount of sweetness as your preference. Flavoured Latte, very interesting, it was Peach Latte.

Honestly I have no idea if they're specializing in pork dishes until I came and looked at the menu, as most of the time (I know some of you did it too) I browse on Instagram account before visiting the restaurant. Well anyway, no regrets, though I am not a super fan of pork but seriously I can't say no to their Charsiew, it was sooo good. Smoky, sweet, slightly charred fat, also the sambal was really nice too, fresh spicy garlicky, perfect match for greasy pork. 

charsiew IDR 65.000



More pork, we got roasted pork belly in two ways, deep fried pork belly and stir fried pork belly in special house sauce. Second one was better to my palate, again both served with the special sambal, crispy pork belly coated with tangy sweet - spicy - aromatic sauce, a must order.

Roasted Pork Belly

Big burger with cheese over the patty, bacon, poached egg, cheese sauce, clamped in homemade brioche. Served with coleslaw and think cut fries (my favorite!). The Runny Mess, yes you'll definitely end up with a mess, I mean your hand. 

The Runny Mess Burger IDR 79.000

OK, this is not on the menu but probably soon, stir fried homemade pasta with bacon, shimeji mushroom, and green bean. It's more like Asian stir fried noodles, but personally I like the homemade pasta noodles, nice texture, a bit chewy, though I think it will be better with cream base sauce or pesto. 



Another pork, BBQ pork ribs over potato fries, it's not super tender, BBQ sauce was quite nice but they also have the spicy Korean and Balinese style ribs, sounds so good! I'm not a super fan of pork but if you asked me if I will go back to Buns & Bite, definitely yes. Go for their charsiew and the stir fried roasted pork belly. Cooking pork is not as easy as chicken, plus point because their pork dishes did not smell "porky" well if you get what I mean.

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

Hidden Korean Street Food Place Jakarta

Sebenernya udah tau dari lama cuma baru minggu kesampaian ke K-Bunsik . Lokasinya bukan di pinggir jalan tapi ada di dalam supermarket Korea K-Mart di daerah Dharmawangsa. Gk ada petunjuk jelas untuk K-Bunsik tapi sudah banyak yang tau kok, pokonya langsung masuk ke dalam supermarket aja karena cuma satu lantai jadi pasti ketemu di pojok kiri.  Tempatnya terbilang kecil tetapi cukup bersih, kalau hari biasa bisa dine-in tapi untuk weekend dan hari libur mereka cuma terima take away aja. Kalau diartikan bunsik itu adalah makanan dengan terbuat dari tepung dan biasanya harganya terjangkau.  K-Mart Dharmawangsa K-Bunsik Menu yang ditawarkan adalah street food khas Korea, mulai dari tteokbokki , odeng , rapokki , gimbab , sampai bulgogi rice .  Kebanyakan menunya halal, walaupun ada menu non-halal gk perlu khawatir karena pembuatannya dipisah kok. Kalau pesan menu biasa semua dibuat di dapur depan sedangkan yang non-halal dibuat di dapur dalam. Kebetulan aku datang pas hari minggu j

Travel Guide to Seoul, South Korea 2015

Bonus: Find out about how to get in K-Pop show and more things to do in Seoul Just finished my third visit to South Korea, it was enough to write about this simple guide, well or just take it as me sharing my stories. First, for us with Indonesian passport, let's just prepare some documents for visa. Either with or without the travel agent, here's my experience applying Korean Visa through Korean Embassy in Jakarta. Get In: By air, most of international flights get in through Incheon International Airport (ICN), though some flights from Japan also flying to Gimpo. First was with Garuda Indonesia. Last year was with Cathay Pacific with a transfer at Hong Kong and a stopover before going back to Jakarta. The airlines I know that have special price for 2 pax purchasing, Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific. Service was amazing, personally (for no reason, my un-important thing) I usually make an order for special meal request. From gluten free to vegetarian, it's just fun to
