Sukiyaki At Shabu Shabu Gen - The Plaza Thamrin


Indulgence your appetite with the new Sukiyaki set from Shabu Shabu Gen, yes they're famous for their Shabu-Shabu though. The difference between Shabu-Shabu and Sukiyaki, Sukiyaki is cooked with just a little amount of liquid while Shabu-Shabu is soupy that you're able to slurp the broth. Sukiyaki is much sweeter, thicker beef slices, and no soup to sip.

chawanmushi
First, let me start with Chawanmushi, classic Japanese appetizer, steamed egg topped with prawn, shiitake mushroom, and veggies. To bring up the appetite, a salad consists of lettuce, cherry tomato, radish, carrot, and sweet corn, tangy Japanese dressing, salty soy sauce, and my favorite sesame oil.

Finally, the main dish, Sukiyaki. Sirloin A4 Kagoshima, melt in mouth, super tasty beefy, dipped into raw egg if you like (just like how it supposed to be), but personally I'm not into raw egg so I prefer to eat it right away. I suggest to add small amount of grated ginger, though you're not really into ginger, trust me, it just better with the ginger. Not all the beef are the same, the A4 is just perfect for the sukiyaki while the higher A5 (in my opinion) is great for steak or maybe Yakiniku.



Kagoshima Sirloin A4
After a delightful melt in mouth beef, continue with assorted vegetables, glass noodles, mushrooms, and tofu, some ingredients such as carrot, onion, and tofu are grilled to shorten the cooking process. At this point, I must say, I was full enough to take another dish but the dessert. But there's one remaining dish, the fried rice.

The dessert, lime jelly, mochi and sweetened red bean, with a scoop of ginger ice scream, what a sweet pleasure. Mochi, covered with bean powder, best combination ever, and the ginger ice cream was really good, not too sweet, a bit spicy gingery after taste, very unique though I believe it's made not for everyone but me, definitely a yes.



The whole experience was quite nice not only because the good food but also good service, I was careless that I didn't bring my portable battery, I asked if they take my phone to be charged in the counter because I only bring my charger plug. Surprisingly, they gave me a power bank, what a convenient way, well I'm impressed.


Price:
Sukiyaki Set Sirloin A4 IDR 1.350.000 and IDR 1.200.000 for additional

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

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
