Chirashi Sushi – IDR 122K Assorted sashimi served on top of a bowl of vinegar rice. Elegant and beautiful to the eyes, an important essence in Japanese cooking. Always my classic favorite when it comes to Japanese cuisine.
Vesuvio – Romana Pizza – IDR 98K Pepperoni and hot soft n’duja sausage on a creamy sweet potato base, baked with mozzarella and finished with watercress, shaved grana padano and chili oil. Wow! A masterpiece with the King of Cheese!
Blacklisted Burger – IDR 69K Stack of 100% ground Australian beef patty, beef bacon, melted mozzarella & onion rings on homemade charcoal bun, served with coleslaw & potato wedges. One of the best burgers in Jakarta. A masterpiece.
Spicy Tonkotsu Char-shu men – IDR 75K This is what I have been looking for. One spoonful of the thick broth sent me into a divine moment. Better than Hakata Ikkousha’s Silver Pork. This is it!
Karaka-Men Special – IDR 99K IPPUDO’s original tonkotsu broth with special spicy miso, cashew nuts, bean sprouts & ground pork. All “special” versions include salted soft-boiled egg, pork belly & seaweed. Strong miso taste, which I liked, but the broth could’ve been thicker as in the real Hakata ramen.
Grill, grill, grill!! With IDR 165K nett, you could enjoy both Yakiniku (Japanese BBQ, self-serviced), Robatayaki (Japanese Grill), Shabu-Shabu (Japanese Steamboat, roughly), a limited selection of drinks, and desserts. Recommended to go with friends and family. Arrive hungry, leave full and content!
My living room definitely doesn’t look like this! It’s a daylight heaven. You’re sitting under a glass roof that can be a blessing or disaster. If it’s sunny it can get hot very quickly, not in a good sense. If the sum cooperates, this place is unbeatable.
Taiwanese Dessert: Q-Ball, Pudding, Mochi, Pearl #16 – IDR 38K They ran out of Q-Ball which is the star of this dish and it was replaced by Mixed Fruit. Very refreshing combination, although with Q-Ball it’d have been much better by a long shot. I’m delighted that Taiwanese desserts finally made it to the South. A must-try.
