Sakana

Avoiding jakarta's crowded places and spots, last week i went to one of jakarta's japanese restaurant located at Mid Plaza 1 building, Sakana. I remember a friend of mine has recommended this place for a long time ago but i haven't been there until last saturday. Sakana is a restaurant that is brought by Kawano International group (the same that bring you Kado & The Grill) that offers a real authentic Izakaya Dining Experience. Shortly, i love this place and definitely will come here more often for the Saikoro Steak and Hourenso Butter.

*P.S. : There's lot of Japanese here that makes it even more authentic

Oh, and there's a bukkake udon for you if you want. 

Don't worry, not "that" bukkake. 

The word bukkake is often used in Japanese to describe pouring out water with sufficient momentum to cause splashing or spilling. Indeed, bukkake is used in Japan to describe a type of dish where hot broth is poured over noodles, as in bukkake udon and bukkake soba.

Tin Pan Alley

Been here for a couple of times now, and i must say, since the first time i eat here, i instantly hooked right in. Located at Thamrin 9 Building (also known as the UOB Plaza), Tin Pan Alley is an authentic american bistro in Jakarta, serving wide varieties of bistro food which is inspired by American culinary traditions.





Tin Pan alley is know one of my favorite destination to eat. Many selections from sandwiches, steaks and pastas. They also offers several options of dessert and drinks. I will personally recommend you to order the Cajun Fries (A french fries, served with a special cajun sauce), Baked Mac N Cheese (one of the best mac n cheese in town in my opinion), and for the dessert, the apple crumble or the chocolate cake.

Zenbu, Jakarta

Found some old photos on my phone and i have just uploaded it. It's pictures from Zenbu, Japanese restaurant located at Plaza Indonesia Extension and also Senopati Raya. Great place with Mozaru (Rice, cheese, Mayo, sauce, salmon / burger / beef / unagi, etc.) & Fusion Sushi Rolls (Jumbo or Junior size), with good prices.
