I love
the idea of finding hidden gems, trust me, out of the hundreds of reviews that
I’ve posted on my blog, I believe there are places that I haven’t discovered with
huge potentials to probably (sort of) “out do” the visited restaurants, almost everyday
I am on the mission in search of new eating spots or hidden gems to recommend
to you my dearest readers, friends and relatives.
Sip Ha
Thai is a Thai inspired BBQ restaurant located in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta.
This restaurant just recently celebrated their first anniversary and a few
weeks ago I visited the restaurant to experience what they have in store. The
interior of this restaurant was very simple with not much going on, the first floor
was slightly smaller (in terms of area) comparing to the second floor which had
more capacity.
Sip Ha
means “15” in Thai and that should explain why they feature 15 of their Thai signature
dishes on their menu, the must try here must be their Thai BBQ, and if you
haven’t experienced or heard about it, then let me lighten you later just a bit.
Besides their signature Thai BBQ set, you can also enjoy some of their
not-to-miss ala carte dishes such as these below:
Crispy Spinach with Thai Sauce
Deep
fried crunchy spinach accompanied with sweet & sour Thai sauce. One simple
addicting treat!
Steamed Fish in Manau
Sauce
IDR 77k
If you
love seafood and sour, then I would be more than happy to recommend you this!
The fish was fresh and the overall flavor was dominated with the sour flavor,
but I enjoy the little spicy flavor of this dish.
Tom Yam Goong
IDR 49k
I LOVE
THEIR TOM YUM. I think it’s pretty normal to have your expectation and
standards towards well-known signature dishes, and I’ve always known how I
wanted a tom yum to be. Theirs was very close to what I had in mind: good
balance of sweet and sour, a tad spicy, generous fresh seafood and make me want
to sip the whole thing!
Thai BBQ Set Large
IDR 259k
Consist of 200 gr beef, 200
gr chicken, chicken soup base, vegetables & mushrooms, assorted seafood
balls.
An
iron pan with two containers is functioned on Thai BBQ, the two containers are
simply their grilling area and the soup area. Here you can order their original
soup or tom yum soup to accompany your meal, but to me, THE MOST EXCITING part
about Thai BBQ is the immense flavor created out of the grilling and the
boiling process, especially when you know how to do it right.
So
imagine this, when you cook the meat & butter on the grilling plate and the
juice, the fat and the oil of the meat & butter slowly drizzling down and
blended with the tasty soup resulting this EVEN tastier soup. I had the
original soup for my lunch (because I already had their Tom Yum soup on the Goong), and it wasn’t
a regret! You can choose either you want the blackpepper or Thai sauce beef, all
the mix of flavor are weird but in the most delicious way! Don’t forget to add
in the chiili cuts if you love a little kick of spicy!
DA
JUZ! This is what I’m talking about!
I only
wish that the soup container could be just a little larger!
Ending
my splendid lunch with this durian dessert! Served warm, bold durian flavor,
and for an avid durian like me, I could have more than one serving.
The
outer part of this restaurant might not have the glamorous shell or extravagant
looking, but based on my experience, they serve scrumptious humble food with
pretty affordable pricing, nowhere near mediocre and good enough to even make
me see myself coming back. The fact that there are not a lot of Thai BBQ restaurants
in Jakarta makes Sip Ha Thai worth considering.
