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 :)

Fulfill Your Belly at Tokyo Belly, Grand Indonesia

It was a rainy day. Me and my friend, A, were craving for something hot and soupy. After wandering around Grand Indonesia, we decided to satisfy our belly at Tokyo Belly. Grand Indonesia outlet (grabbed from their twitter @TokyoBelly) Setiabudi One outlet (grabbed from their twitter @TokyoBelly) Tokyo Belly is a part of Ismaya Group. Before, it was named Mr. Curry. Went there a couple of times, and their curry dish was memorable. Tokyo Belly itself is a new style of Japanese bistro and sake bar. The menu varies from omurice, ramen, sushi rolls, curry, hot stone bibimbap, pasta, j-dog (Japanese hotdog) and many more. Since the weather was cold, i was craving for something hot, soupy, and spicy. My eyes spotted their Tempura Chige ramen. The soup was flaming red named spicy chige soup, combined with all those seafood tempura and seasonal vegetable tempura, and also lava egg. I love the spicy soup. This dish warmed the cold night. And to cool down the hot taste in my m...

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...

Publico

Been very busy this couple months doing my thesis. But all the hard works finally paid off. i pass the thesis exam and will have my graduation on Nov 17 (yeayy!). Well then now i have the time to blogging again (finally!), fyi i should've post this on Jun 15. Sorry for this very late post. So then here we go! Been craving so long for this restaurant, after i saw a pict taken by my friend on instagram, picturing their famous Valrhona Chocolate Marsbar. Setelah gagal ke Publico saat kunjungan ke Commune (1st post), enggak bikin saya menyerah untuk tetap mencoba kesini. Akhirnya sepupu pas banget tiba2 ngajakin pergi, dan saya yang disuruh nentuin tempatnya. Langsung aja sebut "Publico yuk", dan doi setuju-setuju aja. Berangkat jam 5 dari kost saya, kami sampai sekitar pukul 5.40. Deg-deg'an karena takut full reserved seperti waktu itu, akhirnya saya turun ngecek dulu apakah available atau tidak. Dan ternyata ada tempat sampai sekitar pukul 7.30. Langsung deh parkir...
