Momozen Jakarta: More Than Truffle


I thought it's all about truffle as I slightly take a look to their menu, well guess I was wrong, Momozen is a modern Japanese restaurant. Using fine ingredients, to me personally I knew it's going to be good. The idea of taking Japanese food to a new level with an interesting way, fancy presentation, fascinating dishes.


Shall we start with To-Morokoshi Potage (IDR 80.000) - creamy corn soup with charred cauliflower bits, and nori powder, hands down, it a warm comforting dish, creamy yet not overwhelming, sweet savory, fragrant charred cauliflower. As I'm not really a 'soup person', I must say that I enjoyed every sip of it. But more, the number one on the list, must order dish here, the Black Truffle Somen with Caviar (IDR 80.000) fancy plating, super fragrant, very appetizing. Even you're not into cold noodles, this will be an exception. 



Moving on, his favorite dish Baby Chic Truffle Rice (IDR 300.000) charcoal grilled whole baby chicken stuffed with truffle butter rice, please note that it will take 40 minutes to prepare this dish as they said it requires 3 cooking method to deliver this beautiful stuffed chicken. Soft flesh, juicy, fragrant truffle butter rice, so good! Portion was quite generous that can be shared for 3 persons. It's Kevin's favorite dish. He said it was super good, especially the chicken, lightly seasoned chicken, juicy meat, but me I must say the rice was on point.




Last, Truffle Donabe Gohan Momozen (IDR 320.000) - rice cooked in a pot, drizzled with truffle oil and generous amount of shaved fresh black truffle, savory, fragrant rice, a simple yet fancy dish. To choose, I personally prefer the rice inside the baby chic, and the must try dish, Black Truffle Somen. Good price, with all those fine ingredients, quite affordable for truffle dishes as they used black truffle instead of the white one. I can see my self coming back in the future, and leave with a smile.

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

Image
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
