SevenTo7 : A Brief Flight to Seventh Heaven

I never thought before that meat is fairly complicated until yesterday i listened about it from Ms.Martha, one of those business women who kindly share about her broad knowledge about meat. So, meat lovers.. you are now currently on the right channel. Located behind the majestic pillars of Sampoerna Building, this humble looking meat shop is quite occupied for luncheon. From Sampoerna to Pantai Indah Kapuk, they also has a branch at PIK area. Some of you might be wondering, why Seven to 7? it was originally operating from 7AM - 7PM. that's quite explained it, no?

DBD : Detained Birthday Dinner

For not so particular reasons, birthday moments always excites me.. It's not about the glittery gold parties or beautiful wrapped gifts. For me, a birthday is a friendly reminder to be the better me. A day to share some happiness by treating the loves one, grateful i am having them through good and bad, up and down..Thank God who gave me another year to make right what i've done wrong..

Soto Betawi Group

PIK which is stands for Pantai Indah Kapuk along with its never-ending new restaurants popping up like wild mushrooms. From Indonesian to Italian, from Italian to bubble tea, from bubble tea to Chinese foods, PIK have it all. Therefore, completely exploring PIK thoroughly will not be an easy task for anyone including those who lives nearby. And, another new Indonesian restaurant specializing in Soto Betawi  has emerged face to face with Ravino. 

Tea Time

Don't you guys getting bored with those overwhelming bubble tea outlets that keeps popping out from out of nowhere? For me, it is one never ending battles between the pleasure and the guilt. Spoiled by those sweet, refreshing, yet addictive in some kind of ways cup of tea is surely delightful before that guilt attacks you all over afterwards. But, what about if cup of bubble teas accompanied by delicious Taiwanese snacks? Can't you resist it? Me, myself just lost to them completely. Belly rules the mind, it's a matter of being pleased or pissed.

Beatrice Quarters

Beatrice Quarters is one cute restaurant located at Pantai Indah Kapuk. As i stepped in, the waiters and waitresses welcoming us and ushering us to the table. It's a date between me and my Senior High School friend after one fattening day at Bluegrass (review coming soon) The decorations were undeniably cute and chic. It wasn't that huge and spacey inside. There are just few seats inside and some at the outside. I was like transported to a girl's room with girly wallpaper and furniture. It was surely a feast to the eyes.

Fresh'n Your Day at BeetBeetle

Muara Karang is like a sacred place for Chinese peoples who loves to eat non-halal foods ( contain pork ) But, it is lack of hangout places like PIK, the haven of goodness which is located just a few km from it. So, here's BeetBeetle appeared as a rejuvenation for young peoples who lives nearby to enjoy Taiwanese snacks, Oriental-Western foods, or even grab a glass of beer. It is one teenage restaurant with cheerful concept. As i stepped inside, it was a minimalist not to mention fresh looking restaurant with homey ambiance. 

Kalaha at The Wharf

After a decade exploring the sea, Finally, i've found a restaurant depth inside a cavern named Remoire Cave. Ok, forget about it. Several weeks ago, i skipped class for whole day and ended up having a late dinner at Kalaha at The Wharf. By the time i was there, it was empty. Consider it as a luck for me, since i don't like taking pics when there's a lot of peoples around. Having a fast dinner made me feel like in the nest of pirates, with some nets attached as the foothold for the upper floor.

Dragon Court

When i'm on my craving phase and i haven't fulfill it, i feel awful for no reasons. These days, i crave for dimsum and finally, this Saturday i got an invitation from yes, those duo friends of mine to attend a gathering at Dragon Court which is located at Media Hotel, formerly known as Sheraton. It is an all you can eat restaurant with affordable price considering the foods you eat and the comfort place to stay linger long. 

Bobabits by Auntie Betsie

I know i am so yesterday just about to review this cool stuff right now. It's Bobabits one hip bubble store which is located at the heart of north Jakarta, PIK. Every month. new food stores just routinely popping out after one another. And there it is, Bobabits already catches the hearts of many Jakartans especially those who live nearby. 

Ikkudo Ichi : Ramen of Northern

After encountered a day full of resentment , i need some self mitigation and refreshment . So , me and some of my college friends spin a steer to one of busiest area in North Jakarta . Yes , that crawling area especially when it's weekend. Ikkudo Ichi and Sengoku Noodle are both ramen restaurants which located at the heart of northern , PIK. I found myself as a ramen fan , personally i really like Hakata Ikkousha , and the notoriously expensive Santouka Ramen Hokkaido ( Santouka's broth are lighter ). Their thick broth which is rich of flavors are like magnet which makes me want to go there again and again.

Jong Ga : A Warm Korean BBQ & Restaurant

I start the beginning of this month posts with wonderful start given by Jong Ga , a warm Korean restaurant which is located one the busiest city center , Hayam Wuruk. Jongga is standing in a one building together with Gandy Steak , it appears that the owners are brothers or something.

Jong Ga is an authentic Korean restaurant using their very own and secret food recipes dropped by their ancestors , carried by their descendants . Mr Yoon is a Korean who travels the world and published his own travelling book and a main chef in Jong Ga. He is like one of the humblest , greatest , modestest chef and world traveler i ever knew.

Openrice gathering at Taiyo Sushi

Yesterday i woke up late , skipped my class and faced the traffic and the result wasn't that encouraging because i was late about 1hour ++ to attended openrice gathering which is held at Taiyo Sushi located at Pluit , North of Jakarta . Also because of my lateness some foods were gone already . *sniff

As i stepped inside , a waitress wore pink kimono greeted me and escorted me to openrice bloggers tables which was somewhat bit scary caused by the inconvenienced of being late . So i sat at the corner and looked most of the foods were already eaten out .

seriously lately the sun was piqued my patience , it was extremely hot and bright

the lady in kimono went away when i took this pic

The interior of Taiyo's is simple , dominated by light wooden colored furniture , and bright . The place itself was quite spacious . Their workers also nice and friendly , too bad they weren't that attentive . Yes , i was late and they saw me sat on my seat yet they didn't asked me what to drank although some of them were passing through my seat.

Chawan mushi 12k

This chawan mushi was nice , it was a steamed egg custard and on top it there was ( i don't know what its name since i am not familiar with Japanese restaurant ) but it was something i often sees in Naruto . This chawan mushi was served in a cute glass .

Kare Pasta 45k

I gulped when i saw this menu on the table . I was so hungry back then since i was in hurried and as a curry lover i really enjoyed it . It was creamy , quite strong curry , its fettucine was tasty , potatoes and carrots were well cooked . It was sweet and quite spicy but not enough for me . How i wish they made this kare pasta with higher level of spiciness . The portion wasn't satiated .

Tempura Maki 22k

To tell you the truth , i am not a sushi monster but when i ate it , it was good , i liked the floss and i didn't felt nauseated . Because there were times i ate sushi and i wanted to threw up , i didn't like the smell of the wasabi , their chillies and so on. But this wasn't . So i think Taiyo sushi is fit for me.

Aburi Mozarella Roll 56k

It was quite tempted in presentation , coated with crispy seaweed outside and filled with crabstick , salmon , mozzarella and floss . I couldn't tasted the mozzarella . But it was good.

So that's all what i ate and there were also spicy salmon fry and taiyo special roll which i couldn't tried . But i believe they tasted good .

you can see they prepare your sushi here.

I was having good times here , and this is my second times to join in gathering . Since i am still new and it just a month since i started writing . I am looking forward for another gathering and there i met some new friends . Thanks Openrice & Taiyo Sushi for having me and sorry for the late coming .

bloggers who came , nice to see y all :)
