Asiatale Resto, Senopati - Jakarta


Located in Senopati area that already packed with numerous restaurants, Asiatale Resto & Bar offers more than just a place to eat. They have modern Chinese interior, live music, drinks, spacious dining area, and of course good food. Unlike most the restaurants nearby, here, it's the place where you can enjoy hearty Chinese Food with your family or hangout with friends yes because they have lounge upstairs. The first question to answer, do they serve pork? NO! No Pork No Lard. Because, it's in the south? I don't think so, it's because there are good Chinese Food for everyone. But if you're a bit skeptic about this place as they're not serving pork and not using lard, throw away the thoughts, I will share some of the dishes.



Started with Asiatale Selat Popiah, stir-fried glass noodle and chopped veggies inside crispy shell, followed by the Five Spice Binjai Chicken. The popiah was good but to oily to my liking, while the chicken was tasty, deep dried, salty, crispy, yet moist inside. Served with spicy-sweet-sour garlicky chili sauce, best with steamed white rice but I said "no, not today" because they have various dimsum. Vegetable dish was a good idea though, I got 2-Ways Kalian, stir-fried Kailan stem with garlic and crispy deep fried Kailan leaves (reminds me of "kol goreng" hehe..), a must order side dish.

Asiatale Selat Popiah IDR 43.000
Five Spice Binjai Chicken IDR 116.000

2 Ways Kailan IDR 49.000

The dimsum, first was Chicken & Prawn Shumai, serve with bottled-kind-a-like chili sauce, well I end up dipped it into the fried chicken's sauce, one portion comes with there pieces of shumai with juicy prawn in the middle. Next, Barbeque Chicken Bun, just like typical BBQ bun, the filling was sweet but acceptable, bun was very soft. Our favorite, Salted Egg Yolk Sesame Balls, chewy glutinous rice dough filled with salted egg yolk lava, yes you may want to be careful of the bursting egg yolk sauce. It was not too sweet yet with a very mild salted egg yolk taste, less grainy, even you're not really a fan of salted egg, you'll probably eating more than one bite. Lastly, Portugese Egg Tart, size was quite small but tasty, it's the crumbly skins that fall-apart on your first bite, slightly sweet eggy filling that smell eggless (which I like the most).

Chicken & Prawn Shumai IDR 24.000

BBQ Chicken Bun (Cha Siu Bao) IDR 24.000

Salted Egg Yolk Sesame Ball IDR 26.000

Portugese Egg Tart IDR 24.000



When coming to a new place that you have no idea about what to order or let's say you read the review earlier, sometimes it's not always turned out as you expected. It could be because of the place, ambiance, the most notable are the food and service. 

This place is not only worth to try but definitely one to come back again and personally, I was impressed with the food more than anything else. It's a Chinese restaurant, they serve dimsum, no pork no lard, I think it's a right decision as it won't be segmented but good food for everyone.

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
