LUMPANG EMAS

Indonesian food is always on my list and never get bored with Indonesian food because the flavours are unique with a wide variety of condiments. I was excited when I read the reviews that this place seems to promise a delightful dining experience with Indonesian style.

'Lumpang Emas' has been established since 2013 and it's a part of UMARA Gruop. 'Lumpang Emas' has two outlets, they're in Panglima Polim area and Kemang area. At the time, I've visited an outlet in Kemang area. It's easy to find out because it's located on the second floor of  Colony Building. At the time of my visit was after the lunch hour, so only two tables occupied. They don't provide many options on the menu list, so I chose "Nasi Lombok" and a MUST ordered "Nasi Umara" as the best seller here. :) 

Nasi Lombok IDR 58.000,-
( Nasi Daun Jeruk, Daging Suwir Age,  Kacang Seset, Perkedel Jagung, Sayur Daun Singkong, and Sambal Lombok )







Nasi Campur Umara IDR 68.000,-
( Nasi Daun Jeruk, Ayam Singgang, Lidah Cabe Hijau, Paru Asam Manis, Telur Sambel Seset, Daun Singkong, and Sambal Bawang )

Both of "Nasi Umara" and "Nasi Lombok" came with "Nasi Daun Jeruk" and a lot of different "lauk" around it, said it served was delicious, bold-flavoured Indonesian food and decently priced. The staff were lovely, good responsiveness and very attentive

Overall....Love this place! The food was so flavorful and you just keep wanting more. :)

SINSA RAMYUN

An eye-catching yellow ramyun eatery is in the town! This is "SINSA RAMYUN", another ramyun eatery that serving Korean instant noodle. They have two outlets at Muara Karang and Kemang area. Both outlets are just the same but Muara Karang outlet serves Pork and Kemang outlet serves no pork and no lard.

About few weeks ago, i've visited at Kemang area. The place is quite easy to find, just next to "LIN Artisan Ice Cream" and actually that's an old place that has been transformed from burger eatery to ramyun eatery. Kemang outlet has a spacious place and supported with live music performed on the weekend.

Mango Blended IDR 38.000,-

Sorry for bad lighting, but trust me this is highly recommended to order! Huge size to share and tasty mango blended with milk. So worthy to try, guys! YUMMMM...THANKS for refreshing my day off.:) 

Galbi Ramyun Dry with Beef Ribs IDR 54.000,-

I love this dry version of Korean ramyun with melting yolk and beef ribs. It has a nice elastic texture of Korean noodle and the toppings really made the combined flavors popping in my mouth. Just added the chili sauce to make it more enjoyable.:)

Galbi Ramyun Soup with Sliced Beef IDR 54.000,-

Additional Cheese IDR 10.000,-

This one is instant noodle topped with sliced beef in beef flavor soup and we added melted cheese on the top. But, It's out of my expectation, because I couldn't taste that cheese, it's quickly dissolved inside the soup.:( 

Overall it's a good place if you're craving for Korean instant noodle in a small portion!:D Delicious bowl of Ramyun, cold beer and live music is a perfect combo to enjoy your weekend at "SINSA RAMYUN - KEMANG."

WARUNG TURKI BY TURKUAZ

It's my second time to visit Turkish Restaurant in Jakarta. The first time I've visited 'ANATOLIA' which's same management with 'Front Page' , one of my favorite Indian Restaurant in Jakarta. :) Let me share about this pretty place which's called 'WARUNG TURKI by TURKUAZ'. Yes, as we know that 'TURKUAZ' at Gunawarman area is one of the BEST Turkish Restaurant in Jakarta. BUT...don't underestimate first from its name because its far from my mind about 'warung'. This place's designed with pretty, artistic and unique interior.:) This place is divided into three floors with smoking and non - smoking area. Each floor is designed very attractive, although the second floor have a poor lighting, so I couldn't snap some good photos.:( The most I liked was on the third floor, yes...its indoor rooftop with amazing lighting in the afternoon.:D

Dana Pide is a traditional Turkish thin bread topped with seasoned beef. There's also available another toppings with chicken, lamb, cheese or for vegetarian. Yes, all time favorite Turkish thin bread. LOVE it! 

Overall, it's a pleasant Turkish lunch at the time. Love all the foods, middle east ambience and also its quick services. :) Next time i'll come back to try another Turkish menu and still curious with Turkish signature dessert which's called 'Baklava'. THANKS Chef Sezai Zorlu for bringing authentic home cooking at 'WARUNG TURKI by TURKUAZ' :)

PASTIFICIO-K

I've found this new pasta eatery in Kemang area. Yes..'Pastificio-K' is under same management with 'KOI Kemang' and as we know that 'KOI' serve a good taste!:)  It's just opened since few months ago in this year. It's easy to find because still same location nearby 'KOI Kemang' and 'Anomali Coffee Kemang'. 

First Floor Dining Area

Second Floor Dining Area

Just a little space eatery which's separated in two area, first and second floor. YES! Never get bored with white interior. It's designed with simply design with white dominant. I love how they set this place with black & white chair,  B&W artwork sketches on the wall and on each table accompanied with yellow flower. But i think the song should be changed because at the time it's playing middle east song. :p Yayy.. I love Mid East song too but not at this pasta eatery, it doesn't match, huh?!

You can order dry and freshly made pasta by grams such as ravioli, maccheroni, conchiglie, tagliatelle, pipe rigate, gigli, gnocchi, and spaghettini.  All your order to be cooked with various selection of sauces such as bolognese, beef ragu, pesto, aglio olio, blue cheese, pesto, rosemary butter, anchovies butter and many more . Besides that, you can add more topping like various kinds of vegetables, cheese and mushrooms. So, just make it your own pasta!:) 

Gnocchi Cooked with Blue Cheese Cream & Mushroom

In the culinary arts, the word 'gnocchi' (pronounced "NYO-kee") refers to a type of Italian dumplings made from potatoes and flour. The word "gnocchi" means "dumplings" in Italian. The potatoes are steamed or boiled, then peeled and passed through a potato ricer or food mill. Gnocchi should be light and fluffy, like little pillows, rather then dense and chewy. I love this one. it's a good texture of gnocchi, tasty blue cheese sauce and mushrooms, no need to add more salt and black pepper. :) 

Whole Wheat Tagliatelle Cooked with Pak Choi & Parmesan Cheese 

Hmmm..it's not my favorite. Below than my high expectation, it's too dry and not really tasty, maybe it's should be cooked with other sauce.:( 

Overall, it's good alternative if you're a pasta addict because 'Pastificio-K' served homemade pasta produced by KOI's pasta machine with very reasonable price. Sorry forgot to keep the bill, guys!:p So, i just remember that the bill surprisingly cheap because it still below than IDR 200.000,- :)
