Been
wanting to try Yoogane forever, especially when I happened to be in Singapore,
but in most cases, I always found myself overeating in Singapore after all those crazy cafe hoppings, and the least thing I
wanted at that very one moment was something to fill me in my mouth and tummy!
BUUUT
since Yoogane’s now expanding its establishment to Indonesia (yay welcome!) and
already have two outlets spread in the South (Citywalk and the latest, Lotte
Shopping Avenue), earlier today, I and some friends decided to wash away our
curiosity and had lunch here, we went to the Lotte outlet.
Their
Lotte outlet is located just beside Menya Sakura Ramen on the 2nd floor. As
harsh as I can be, there’s honestly nothing I like about the design and ambiance
of their Lotte outlet, their location is a little stranded with very small logo
placed on top. I feel like I was eating in a hospital’s canteen, but if you’re
OK with that then it should be fine.
The
Tea Jujube (Korean Tea with Dates – IDR 15k) was not bad, certain note of the
flavor actually reminded me of wintermelon drink.
Some
of the menus that I wanted were out of stock, especially ones with special
cheese like Chicken Cheese Galbi, they did explain that it’s because of the New
Year and the supplier was off yesterday and yes it made sense to me. However,
most of the menus with mozarella cheese was available, but we couldn’t ask for
extra mozarella cheese topping as they had a very limited stock.
Beef Bulgogi Cheese Fried
Rice – IDR 66k
We
shared two of their best-selling menus: Beef Bulgogi Cheese Fried Rice and Yoogane Chicken
Seafood Galbi. I was upset that the real presentation of the dishes looked
totally different than the real one, you can notice that when you come directly
to the outlet. They were way smaller than what I expected and plain-looking
(Beef Bulgogi Fried Rice), and not to mention on the menu, the fried rice was supposed to be served on a hot plate! Thankfully that flavor wise, the fried rice was not
bad. It was not the most tempting dish to see, but it was enjoyable. It
was tasty with beef bulgogi (did expect more) and generous cheese topping (yes they still gave us
pretty generous amount of cheese and I appreciate how they did not
intentionally try to reduce the amount of cheese otherwise it would be rude).
The cheese really gave that extra flavor. I could finish this all by myself.
Yoogane Chicken Seafood
Galbi – IDR 80k
The
Yoogane Chicken Seafood Galbi came in this tempting presentation with generous
melted mozarella cheese on top, chicken, seafood and ttepokki topping! Anything with a lot of cheese instantly makes
your saliva suffered! I am not big on cheese but Mozarella always fits me well.
This dish was quite spicy in default, but still very well enjoyed due to the
good seasoning and generous Gokjujang sauce, if you can’t really have something
spicy you can ask the server to turn it down for you. On the menu I saw that
the octopus was big and chunky, but it was the exact opposite when it’s served
to my table. Thank goodness the flavor and mozarella cheese saved it all, look
at the freaking cheese strain damnit!
I
personally think that they serve easy, fun and casual Korean food, not out of
the world good, nor serious one, but it’s the kind of restaurant that you go
with your friends because you wanna have a decent Korean food and take pictures
of those cheese strain. Price wise, it’s way cheaper than the one in Singapore or
Korea.
