Let's be honest.. I'm not the right person to do a food review. Because I am not a foodie. There's a lot of things in the World I don't eat. Yeap, I am a picky eater. And I have spicy food intolerance. But as promised in the previous post, I'll share some dine experience with regards to the restaurants in Jakarta from our recent visit (last Labour Day).
RM Pagi Sore at Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK).
The first day we arrived Jakarta, we planned to go straight to Pagi Sore from the Airport. Apparently, it was Labor Day, guys!... and the queue was too long. Then we tried again on the next day. Perfect! No need to queue.
I do like Nasi Padang. I've tried Nasi Padang Garuda, Sederhana, Ampera Raya, Uni Yani, Simpang Raya, and many more. And for me, Pagi Sore is one of the best Nasi Padang I've been tasted. yes, "to die for"
In total, we spent 1,061,500 Rupiah (for 5+1pax) here..
I made an honest mistake while ordering Dengdeng. I didn't know that there's different kind of Dengdeng at Pagi Sore. Need to do more research next time.
Cabe Ijo PIK.
Not too far away from Pagi Sore, there's a Seafood Restaurant called Cabe Ijo. Although the restaurant name is Cabe Ijo (Green Chilies), but the food was not that spicy at all.
We ordered Alu Alu Fish, Salted egg Fried Squid 👍🏻, Coconut Tom Yam, Grilled aubergine, Fried chicken for the kid, Steamed rice and some beverages. At this restaurant, we spent 750K Rupiah (for 4+1pax)
Honest feedback: The services are very slowwwww. Our first 30-mins, no one came to take order, although we have been calling them 3 times. And we only got our meals 45-mins later.
There are 6 outlets of Pondok Sedap Malam in Jakarta. And we went to the one at Jakarta Pusat. Although we went there quite late for dinner (as you can see from the photo below - not many guests in the restaurant), but the seafoods are fresh and scrumptious.
We ordered Grilled 'Bawal' Fish, Salted egg Prawn, Grilled Squid, Fried Squid, Chilli Crab 👍🏻, Fried Chicken, Steamed rice, Fried Mantao 👍🏻 and beverages. That night, we spent 1,750K Rupiah (for 5+1pax)
Bogor Cafe, Hotel Borobudur
We were here for... Sop Buntut Bakar!
Actually there are few other places where you can find the Oxtail Soup, but this is the closest to the hotel we stayed. My husband has tried the one at Sedayu Indo Golf PIK, and my friend suggested the one at Metro Pondok Indah.
Besides Grilled Oxtail 👍🏻 and Fried Oxtail 👍🏻, we also ordered some Satay. Here, we spent 1,625,000 Rupiah (for 5+1 pax)
PICCA Steak Room
As mentioned in the previous post, we ordered 3 plates of Steak 👍🏻, 2 plates of Carbonara Pasta, Calamari Skewers 👍🏻, Scallops with cream lemon sauce, Tiramisu Cake and Pannacotta. Altogether, almost 2M Rupiah (for 5+1 pax).
Three (3) things I like about this restaurant
- Of course, the taste. The best steak in town. Highly recommended!
- The services and the waiting time. We got our meals after 10mins only. That was quick!
- The refillable home-made frittes/fries. You can eat as much as you can
However, there are also three (3) things I don't like about this restaurant
- The minimum order. We need to order at least for 1,700,000 Rupiah
- The ambience. The restaurant is quite small, narrow and cramped... and they are using the old aircond (I hope you understand my point)
- The order method (stamping idea) is rare & creative, but it's quite confusing. and.. not sustainable enough. I think they should go paperless - meaning to say, go digital!
That's all for Makan-Makan in Jakarta. Next post will be Kopi-Kopi di Jakarta.
Stay tuned!
