Eaten while Abroad

US$12.95, must order coffee cake (store special)

Tomato Gaspacho flavored with basil and olive oil with croutons. One of the Starter options in the ¥4,200 set lunch at this Michelin-starred restaurant.

Dark Chocolate ganache served with a cocoa sherbet and bitter biscuit powder. My 3rd and final course to end off the ¥4,200 set lunch.

Pan-fried Duck Liver and parmesan cheese risotto. What can I say? It was simply amazing! The perfect blend of flavors as the main course of my ¥4,200 set lunch.

Extra virgin olive oil marinated Jack mackerel enhanced with ginger and chive condiment. The tiny tomatoes were just right, and this dish is to-die-for; a great way to start my ¥4,200 set lunch.

¥600 - pure awesomeness, albeit slightly salty. Definitely a dish for sharing. I wolfed mine down alone.

¥3,000 sushi taster platter

¥2300 so it's not cheap but the ingredient freshness cannot be beat.

This store is a relatively new outlet of an age-old favorite in Jakarta. Their way of cooking is more Aceh-orientated, and locals absolutely swear by their food quality despite the 40+ years of existence.
