As Indonesian, whatever-wherever-whenever you eat, you will love Indonesian food. Few days ago, JiF visited a well-known Indonesian Restaurant which is the same group with Sate Khas Senayan, called TeSaTe Restaurant. Located at strategic Menteng area, I bet this restaurant is always full-packed at lunch office time. TeSaTe also has another 2 branches; Pacific Place and Plaza Senayan. What makes this Menteng branch is different is that it has its own building, with modern minimalist and luxurious style. Well, first of all, let me show you their classy yet elegant interiors :

Hello folks! Maybe many of you were wondering why JiF wasn't active as usual recently. And yes, I've been busy with my university and also, my very first project.
JiF proudly presents the special limited edition merchandize package. This project is actually dedicated to celebrate JiF's instagram 2nd Anniversary on last March 13, 2015. Unfortunately, this is not for sale at the moment. Be ready for the brand new JiF! :)

The wait is OVER. Let me introduce you to "The Melting Pot", the world's famous fondue restaurant from USA has officially opened its very first branch in Asia Pasific, at Plaza Senayan - Jakarta since the grand opening on 25th of March 2015! Unfortunately, I couldn't come on the grand opening day and finally few days ago, I got a chance to pay them a visit. As you can see from the picture above, there's a reflection of Applebee's logo on the mirror, and yes, The Melting Pot is located exactly besides of Applebee's. From the entrance, no doubt this is such a classy yet elegant restaurant!
Until now, The Melting Pot has more than 130 restaurants in North America, Canada, and Mexico. And Jakarta should be proud to have the very first branch across Asia Pacific.

Manhattan Fish Market is a family franchised seafood restaurant with tagline "fresh seafood". They have so many branches at South East Asian countries and Japan. In Jakarta, they only have two branches; Central Park Mall and Grand Indonesia. Actually, I've been here several times, but never brought my camera, and this time fortunately I bring my camera and I'll make a review for their seafood! Enough talk, let's go straight to their seafood!

KOBE is a newly opened Japanese buffet restaurant, managed by Shabu2House. Located at PIM 3 Street Gallery, you can find it right in front of the escalator on the 2nd floor. From the entrance, I love the black theme and silver metal decoration, which reflects elegance in minimalism. Since it's a buffet AYCE restaurant, which serves mostly Japanese cuisine, there are only 2 buffet packages available: regular and deluxe one. Scroll-down for further info.

Gong Xi Fat Chai! JiF would like to wish you a Happy Chinese New Year 2566. Anyway, JiF had Chinese New Year's Dinner at Fok Luk Sau - Shark's Fin and Seafood Restaurant. They specialize in Cantonese cuisine. I knew this place when I went to Bandung for holiday, I stayed at Maison Pine Hotel and tried this restaurant. The only thing I could remember that the food was awesome. And I just found that they have a branch in Jakarta. Hence, I and my family decided to have dinner at this place for CNY. Let's see their awesome food :
Braised chicken with wine, vinegar, soya sauce, and basil in clay pot. When it came to my table, it was very hot since it used hot clay pot and it looked like it has been cooked in a high temperature. The chicken itself was cooked very well, juicy, tender and flavorful. I like the combination of the ingredients, such as wine, vinegar, and soya sauce which made the chicken was very tasty. The basil not only become a garnish, but maked the chicken tangy yet mouth-watering. My fav!
Braised home made bean curd with mushrooms and vegetables. I love the texture of the bean curd, so soft and smooth, but honestly I prefer spinach to seaweed for the bean curd, but this dish is pretty delicious, fresh and healthy. They make the bean curd themselves, so no doubt home made never fails. The bean curd was served with broccoli, carrot, some types of mushroom, and kichi.
Braised pork with salted vegetables, Hakka style. Uhh! Have I made you drool by this picture? Pork is the best dish ever. The braised pork was so good, juicy, tender, ah great taste. But the salted vegetables were too salty for my tounge, and made the dish imperfect. The portion was quite generous tho.
Wok fried Hongkong kailan in two flavors. So, basically, the HK kailan was cut into 2 parts. For the leaf part, it was fried so became so crunchy, such a unique taste! And the other part, the stem part, it was stir-fried with garlic. The idea was so brilliant, and it's such a very unique vegetable dish which you definitely have to try!
Wok fried Hokkien noodle. It's served with pork, prawn, and vegetables. The taste was pretty decent, but nothing really special. In my opinion, it's just like an ordinary wok fried noodle, however I love the pork. Nevertheless, the portion was huge for 2-3 persons.
Overall, I really enjoyed my dinner at Fok Luk Sau. Most of the food are very decent and delicious, in other words, above standard. Yeah Chinese food never fails me, and Fok Luk Sau has become one of my favorite Chinese Restaurant. Don't forget to order the pork things here, and for you who don't eat pork things, don't worry, they serve a wide variety menu of Chinese food, such as chicken, beef, seafood, etc. For the price, I think it's reasonable and quite affordable, compared to other Chinese restaurants and their food are awesome. Moreover, the place is pretty classy and dominated with wooden furniture and red things. The service was fast and friendly too. Well, do give them a try! Great Cantonese cuisine, Great place!

Dill Gourmet Cafe isn't a new addition to Plaza Indonesia's restaurant list. I've been to here several times before, for their coffee and cakes, but haven't got a chance to write a review yet. This time, I tried their food so I decided to make a review. So here you go :
Miso Gindara with Potato Puree (95k). It's basically baked gindara served with potato puree, grilled asparagus, mushrooms, buttered peas, slow roast tomatoes, and pesto sauce. Start from the gindara itself, unfortunately it was a bit fishy for me. Thankfully the pesto sauce could minimize that. I love the potato puree texture which is so soft and smooth.
Rustic Wagyu Lasagna (65k). Minced wagyu beef, mixed with garlic and onion, layered into classic lasagna. This is the star of the day. I really like the minced wagyu beef, cooked perfectly with beautiful layered traditional lasagna, taste pretty good. The portion was so generous, even with creamy flavor, it maked me super full.
Banana Cream Pie. Banana Cream layered with bananas in a pie shell, topped with a hint of cinammon cream. I love banana cream dessert. And this pie is pretty nice, but the texture of the pie might be a bit tough.
Overall, although there's nothing special with the food which will make a regular here, the rustic wagyu lasagna is a decent choice if you're here. The place is so small, but I love the comfort homey ambiance here, to have coffee and desserts with your friends. I was also amazed that this small cafe serve various main courses, which aren't easily found at other cafe. The service is super nice yet friendly. For the price, is affordable and resonable. FYI, they not only serve main course such as the kind of things I ordered, but they also serve snacks, pasta, pizza, sandwich, coffee, cakes, many more... and healthy drinks. Next time I come here, I'll give the cold-pressed juice a try!
