FŪJIN

For this time, we're visiting Fūjin, located at Senopati, South Jakarta. The idea of Fūjin, as quoted from their website, is "to apply traditional Japanese’s art of service, ‘omotenashi’- where thoughtfulness, dedication, meticulous attention to details are key elements".  That's surely a very interesting concept of cuisine for us to try.

MAROUSH

Merhaba! A few weeks ago, I got a chance to come to Maroush, a middle eastern restaurant, located at Crowne Plaza Hotel, South Jakarta. It's an interesting visit, since I've never tasted any middle eastern food before.

SUSHI GROOVE

Welcoming the fresher look of Sushi Groove! After a long journey, Sushi Groove finally changed their looks. The place is now a lot more fun and colorful, with bright yellow light that gives you a warm feeling.

Months ago, I was invited to Sushi Groove's outlet at Grand Indonesia to introduce their new look. Actually, they have another outlets, such as at Mall Taman Anggrek, Kota Kasablanka, Pondok Indah Mall 2, and Setiabudi One.

NOODLE KING

Say hello to the newest Korean Noodle Restaurant at Pantai Indah Kapuk! Noodle King is here right at the first block of Rukan Crown Golf, PIK, right between Shirokuma and Martabak Pecenongan. If you ever heard about Han-Ok Korean BBQ before, this is the place! The owner is Korean and they opened this restaurant this year.

Actually, Noodle King is one of my project with some friends. The branding (logo, menu, etc) was made by Shendy Subroto (@shendysubroto) and the Interior made by Rhandy Adriyanto (@rhandystudio). And me, I got the photography part, where I have to take a picture of the food for their menu and wall decoration.

COFFEE KULTURE | BAYWALK MALL

Who knows that coffee trend is still going on in Jakarta. Well here it is, Coffee Kulture is opening it's second outlet at Baywalk Mall! Yippie! :D

The place is much brighter and bigger than the first outlet at Muara Karang. I like this second outlet more because the ambience is more homey & warmer than the first one, plus I like the new branding more ;)

THE CUBBYHOLE CANTEEN

I've never noticed this place every time I passed the street, the place is barely crowded & doesn't look like a restaurant from the outside. Until one day, I got invited by Hello Smithies for a food tasting session at this restaurant. The food was splendid! I went there again for the second time. This place is located at Jl. Senopati no. 66, right beside Collete & Lola. The building have 3 levels, where the 1st level is for the restaurant, and the 2nd & 3rd is a craft shop, named Temple Trees.

H GOURMET & VIBES

H Gourmet & Vibes already attracted me since the first time they opened around last year. Especially their ultimate and famous Meat & Bread dishes. Finally, I got a chance to try 'em with my fellow mates from JUNO Production. The place is actually inside a shared building, and the restaurant is at the 3rd floor with smoking & non-smoking area. The ambience in here is nice, with lots of wooden furniture and vintage decorations.

P.S.: The big clock behind the bar is a real life clock! :p

NATIVE COFFEE TRIBE

So happy to hear that there's a new coffee shop opened at Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta Utara. The place is really easy to find because it's located at the newest shop region in PIK, where there's still a few place that opened, right in front of PIK's Hospital.


Native Coffee Tribe have a lovely homey indoor & outdoor space, with classic wood interior. Although the outdoor space is pretty small with only two tables. The indoor is also quite small but enough for quite a lot of people.
