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

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
