CHIBO JAKARTA: Teppanyaki And Okonomiyaki (INDONESIA)


From Teppanyaki to Okonomiyaki, from Osaka style to Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki. Some people may be quite familiar with Chibo as it's popular in Japan, also they have some branches in Asia and in Hawaii. Last week, I got a chance to visit their very first restaurant in Indonesia, located in Gandaria City Mall, Jakarta. Customers can choose to sit at the bar table which allow the customers to watch the chef preparing food or at the regular table with grill pan slash hot plates in the middle to keep the food hot.

Grill pan on each table is definitely important to me especially when ordering Okonomiyaki. More, they have condiments available on every table from Okonomiyaki sauce, house made mayo, to katsuobushi. Okonomiyaki is Japanese style savory pancake with cabbage and various protein as filling, from beef to seafood. 

Chibo Gyoza

Let's start with Gyoza (IDR 55.000), unlike any other gyoza I've ever tried before, it comes in flat shape with crispy edges yet not oily. Filled with shrimp, squid, and chicken. Teppan Cheese Japanese Spinach and Broccoli (IDR 40.000) the amount of cheese was overflow, covering all of the veggies. Teppan Tenderloin Steak (IDR 190.000), I must say this is just simply tasty, the beef was tender melt in mouth, like no effort to chew. Quite pricey to be compared with the other menu but you get good quality meat. Soboro Beef Omelette (IDR 45.000), soft egg, savory beef inside, topped with sweet savory sauce, don't forget to drizzle some mayo.

add some mayo

Osaka style Okonomiyaki is cooked by mixing all ingredients into the batter while Hiroshima style is cooked layer by layer and usually has some noodle in it. Chibo Okonomiyaki (IDR 100.000) - Osaka style Okonomiyaki with sliced beef, chicken, prawn, and squid. Cheese Yaki (IDR 105.000) - Hiroshima style okonomiyaki with some mozzarella cheese on top. I personally into Osaka style so Chibo Okonomiyaki is on the top of my list to order. Insider tip, go for the mayo, drizzle on anything it's just delicious even if you're not a fan of mayo, it's worth to try. 

The portion was quite generous, perfect for one person but if you want to order various menu then it's good to share for 3-4 persons.

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
