Shabu Ghin, Wolter Monginsidi


Luckily selected as one of the lucky guests to be invited on their opening day. Here is a new addition to your culinary-list around South Jakarta. Newly opened just across 711 Wolter Monginsidi. They provide free valet parking but well just like other restaurants around the area, the parking space was limited.

The first thing that caught my attention was their buffet bar, like smoking hot! Beside the vegetables, assorted seafood balls, they provide some ready-to-eat food like sushi, bolognese ramen, chap chae, assorted fried food, gyuudon, and desserts. Also there are a lot of choices of dipping sauce.

Buffet Bar

 
Sneak Peak of their buffet bar

To get started, we have to choose whether to have set menu style or all-you-can-eat style. For AYCE, you'll be given 90 minutes. After that, we have to choose the meat. There are 3 choices of meat which are Special, Premium, and Wagyu. Then they faced us to make a difficult decision: what to have for the SOUP. There are 5 kind of soup offered: Original Konbu (sweet-salty), Spicy Seafood (spicy of course), Chicken Mizutaki (chicken broth), Spicy Tonyu (curry like), and Sukiyaki (sweet). If you choose the AYCE style, it includes drinks (tea, soft drink, mineral water, sjora, milo, minute maid).

There are 3 AYCE option that you can choose:
Course 1: Shabu Ghin Special Beef: normal IDR 188k for adult // 115k for Children or Senior
Course 2: Shabu Ghin US Premium Beef: normal IDR 238k for adult // 145k for Children or Senior
Course 3: Shabu Ghin Wagyu Beef: normal IDR 388k for adult // 235k for Children or Senior

We had the Course 3 Package, so we had the humble chance to try all of their choices of meat. The special beef had less fat, while the premium one had more fat, more playful texture. The bomb was the Wagyu (no doubt!) It has that melt-in-the-mouth texture (my stomach started to growl while i was remembering the taste <3 )

Our Table

I tried to arrange our table beautifully, but well.....pardon our messy table. Clockwise from right bottom: the meat (white plate: premium beef; right: wagyu beef; left: special beef) - veggies, udon, tofu, and meatballs - spicy tonyu soup - dipping sauces - chicken mizutaki soup)

Special Beef paired with Chicken Mizutaki soup
The dipping sauces (clockwise upper left): Genghis Khan Sauce - Gomadare Sauce - White Rice - Garlic Fried Rice - Spicy Suki Sauce - Ponzu Sauce. Favorite? Gomadare - Ponzu - Genghis Khan. I made my own version of enhanced Ponzu Sauce, consists of Garlic, Daikon, Chili, Spring Onions, and Goma. Delicioso!

For the first round, i had the Chicken Mizutaki soup while JuicyJelly had Spicy Tonyu. For us, the Chicken Mizutaki soup was great with all the dipping sauces. If you're the type of person who likes to dip the meat in sauces, this one will suits you well.
Spicy Tonyu Soup paired with Premium Beef


While Spicy Tonyu Soup tasted good already, no need to use dipping sauces IMO. The texture was curry like, a bit spicy, and milky. This one was my favorite!

For second round, we had Original Konbu and Spicy Seafood. Original Konbu almost tasted like Chicken Mizutaki but less salty. Spicy seafood tasted like Chicken Mizutaki in Spicy version. Both still went well with dipping sauces.

Left: Original Konbu  ;  Right: Spicy Seafood

And here are some of the ready-to-eat that we got from the buffet bar. Love the Fried Chicken and Salad. But too bad the tempura was too greasy and the Sushi didn't work for me :(
Clockwise, upper left: Bolognese ramen - sushi - salad - fried chicken and tempura - fruits and jellies




Soup-wise (starts from my favorite one):
- Spicy Tonyu
- Chicken Mazutaki
- Konbu
oh well, i will try their sukiyaki soup as soon as i got the chance to be back here. For now, let it be a mystery. Anyway, if you want to add more soup or change it, you can just pay additional charge for 29k. If don't, you have the one-time soup refill with fish stock.

Meat-wise:
- Wagyu (oh i mean..of course!)
- Special Beef
- Premium Beef

Beside this AYCE style, you can also have their set menu.

Overall, i love how they offer such different options of soup, their buffet table has a pretty wide range of ingredients to choose, and also a very good quality of meat! Although it's kinda pricey, but you'll get what you pay. no regrets :)

Peeking inside Crumble Crew - Tulodong Atas, SCBD

It's me again!! Gatau lagi udah berapa dasawarsa kutinggalkan dunia blog ini. Kemudian tiba suatu waktu rindu yang tak lagi terbendung, and i decided to write again :) So here is my very first post after a very long time goes for ISCAKETORY or ISAURA CAKE FACTORY!! ISCAKETORY is placed inside a lifestyle junction : Crumble Crew (. There are some other food tenants such as Nalu Bowls, Cyclo Coffee, Mangan-Mangan, etc. And one of the tenants that catch my eyes is ISCAKETORY. I was meant to just have coffee with my friend, but then we ended up visit ISCAKETORY first then went to Cyclo to get our coffee and seated back at ISCAKETORY. There were actually 3 areas in Crumble Crew: 1st floor non-smoking indoor area, 1st floor outdoor smoking area, and 2ns floor smoking area. ISCAKETORY is at the corner beside Pokey Studio and was pretty crowded at the time i visited. The place itself has its own open kitchen (as you can see in the main picture), quite small with jus

Union: Union made is well made they said

It was a Thursdate with my two dancing mates, S and N. Masing-masing berangkat dari kantor dan janjian ketemu di Union, Plaza Senayan. Tempat hangout super hype selama 2tahun terakhir ini. Dan emang dasar kalo gak macet namanya bukan Jakartam it took almost more than 30 minutes for N to get to Plaza Senayan from Ratu Plaza. I was the first to arrive from the three of us, and FYI i was on time, got there by exactly 6.30PM. And as always, Union was full almost every time i went there, so even i already made the reservation for 6.30PM, i still have to wait around 30 minutes to get my table. Selalu suka sama atmosphere disini. Sebelumnya kesini selalu sore sekitar jam 3an, tp yang kali ini dateng pas jam dinner (dimana kalau di Union, setiap jam lunch dan dinner diharuskan untuk reservasi terlebih dahulu) dan ternyata suasana malam bikin suasana di Union jadi tambah romantis. Kali ini merupakan kali ketiga gw kesini, and in my previous visits i only ordered desserts an

Bandung trip #day 3 - Fabrik Eatery & Bar

Image
3rd day in Bandung, also our last day. Paginya memutuskan untuk cari sarapan di sekitar hotel barengan I dan Mr, dan kemudian I ngajakin makan kupat tahu di pinggir jalan, dekat alfamart sekitaran hotel. Gerobaknya sebelahan sama bubur ayam. I dan Mr ini asalnya dari Bogor dan mereka sudah biasa makan kupat tahu ini, sedangkan saya sendir have no idea about that kind of food. Yang saya tau ya ketoprak atau ketupat sayur. But then i'm willing to try this new dish. Setelah memesan, tampilan kupat tahu itu mirip ketoprak, cuma rasa bumbu kacangnya asin. Isi dari kupat tahu itu sendiri ketupat, tahu, tauge, disiram bumbu kacang dan diberi kerupuk. Sayangnya ternyata lidah saya kurang cocok dengan makanan ini. Kalau menurut Mr, kupat tahu ini lumayan, tp katanya ada yang lebih enak. Ya mungkin lain kali saya harus coba yang di tempat yang direkomendasi Mr. Tapi yang ini kurang enak kalau menurut saya. Siangnya setelah check out, kami memutuskan untuk cari makan siang dulu sebelum k
