AMKC
is now officially opened for public, and guess who’s very excited about it? ME!
Came here earlier today with my dear friend, Yenny from YennyMakanMulu to have
lunch. AMKC
is the brainchild of Adhika Maxi and Karen Carlotta, if you’ve heard about them
before, they are the husband and wife couple aka masterminds of the very
successful UNION, or should I say the pioneer of all these fancy restaurants
and cafes you see growing in town. Back in 2009, before UNION was even
established, the couple started AMKC which catered a private dining experience,
fast forward a few years later, along with passion as strong as ever and a good
place for a deal, this brand new place located in Plaza Indonesia is a fresh
hot baby, but instead of being fed, they feed our hunger and quench the thirst
for good French inspired cuisine.
Benedict
Jakarta just launched their newest menus and they’re like A LOT, but I managed
to sample some of their artisan indulgence on a lunch date a few days ago. I
have revealed (and raved) about the lunch and gave some exclusive sneakpeek on
my Snapchat, so if you haven’t followed me, that’s your loss :p
Review
of Benedict on my first ever visit -> CLICK HERE
The
new menus were interesting, and I was captivated by the charm of the food, it
was something I never had nor expected Benedict to come with. Flavor and
presentation wise, interesting, some of the menus even worth calling Benedict a
casual fine dining restaurant, but the thing is I don’t think they’re aiming to
be one.
Lately
the number of Martabak cafes in Jakarta is growing quite rapidly and it has
been easier to grab martabak, but the thing is, I notice most of them are
pretty commons, some might sell the simple and good old martabak with the
mainstream toppings,only a few of them actually have unique selling point,
which should be something that they consider, but truth is, to be fair no
matter how mainstream it is, most of the times I always manage to finish the
last piece of martabak, and feeling guilty after, but I have a good news for
you, and that's exactly the thing about this newly opened martabak shop is
about: Martabak Warisan in T.B. Simatupang!
A few
days ago I did a little research just for myself, I noticed that last month (in
January 2016), I received like bizillion Martabak stores opening, and it got me
wondering exactly how many new martabak shops opening every month, well the
answer may vary to each month, but I looked at those that tagged me on
Instagram, the number of invitations and an info from a friend, last month
alone, there are 6 new martabak stores opening in Jakarta! Remember, the number
may vary, I might never know the exact number.
The
following name might be one of the most anticipated restaurants opening in
town: RUTH’S CHRIS STEAK HOUSE.
Ruth
Chris’ Steak House first came to the scene in 1965 at New Orleans by the
founder herself, Ruth Fertel. More than 5 decades later, the vision is still as
solid as ever, and the business, well... stronger than ever with outlets
located in New Orleans, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and now, Jakarta!
For
the last few years, ice cream - whether in form of traditional gelato to
soft-serve -- has contributed so much to Jakarta’s F&B scene, and the
number of ice cream shops opening in town is just getting crazier, and the
creations are even more! Ice cream might be dominating the f&b scene at the moment, but the thing is, they have been an important part of my life, especially my childhood, and no matter what, the good old gelato has always been my favorite.
Yesterday
I attended the weekend brunch held at St. Ali Jakarta by the Tourism of
Victoria, there was a lot of fun as the event was filled with so many foodie
friends, coffee knowledge and showcases, and a lot of eating (of course). You know those events where it’s
filled with friends and mutuals, and makes you feel belong in an event and this was
it.
OMG
it's that day again! Two weeks from now the whole world is about to celebrate
another round of what could be the happiest or the saddest day in their life.
It's FREAKING VALENTINE'S DAY! I
don't know about you, but I am like VERY single and I did have that sad moments
where I really want to have someone who love me and vice versa, especially when
I am travelling solo, but you know what, I don't wanna stress about it anymore,
and I think staying busy and have a lot in your plate can really distract you
from thinking about it, well that works for me!
Who
else here love green tea as much as I do? I
couldn’t exactly remember the first time I started to have more interest
towards green tea, because honestly, when I was a little, I did not.
