The
number of steakhouses in Jakarta is rapidly growing, but I notice one thing in
common about the new ones: they’re now packaging their concept as an affordable
steakhouse, and believe me Ruth Chris is not included to this genre.
I went
to have lunch with my sis and her boyfriend at this not so hidden gem called Cut’
n Grill, located precisely at The Bale in Daan Mogot area. The steakhouse indeed
had this homey vibe to it and was quite spacious making it easily noticable
from the outsidea, if you are familiar with Jco The Bale, it’s located just
behind it. The
design of Cut’ n Grill was something vintage with a mix of industrial,
minimalist and moody from mostly the application of black color and wood
material. They use glass as part of their window allowing natural sunlight to
spread evenly during the day, in the case, sitting next to the window would be
the best option if your pictures are your concern lol.
A big
lunch, as always.
Avocado Affogato – IDR 30,5k One of
their signature drinks here is their Acovado Affogato, basically an avocado
float with a shot of espresso. The avocado was quite creamy, I must say I am
totally biased for the fact that I am such an avid fan of Avocado float so this
did no wrong.
Exotic Punch & Apollo –
IDR 30,5k Two of
their best selling mocktails. Me liking the Apollo for its nice and refreshing
blend of pineapple, orange, lime and Grenadine syrup!
Beef Tenderloin Pasta – IDR
55k
Was a
bit shock with the pricing, as IDR 55k for a goddamn sirloin is VERY cheap!
This was a pretty satisfying meal portion and flavor wise, the portion was
generous enough for a single serving and the seasoning and flavor were spot on
and a bit more to the sweet side if you fancy. The pasta had the right al-dente
standard and proper firmness, all covered in thick and tasty blackpepper sauce!
Hamburg Steak – IDR 80k
The
hamburg steak came in such delicate and tempting presentation on a hot stone
plate, a portion consist of fresh hamburg steak covered with mozarella cheese
and their signature sauce, well-done sunny side up, veges (diced carrot, peas
and corns), and french fries.
The hamburg
was meaty and chunky and made using imported beef, it’s highly suggested to
have it while it’s still hot and fresh, because normally hamburg tends to be a
little dry when being left cold. I didn’t know that the default serving of the
sunny side up would be fully cooked, but you can customized how you want your
sunny side up to be, if you fancy one where it’s half-cooked, your wish is
their command.
You
can totally opt for other available side dish options: mashed potato (IDR
16,5k), potato jacket, potato wedges (IDR 19k), butter rice (IDR 16,5k) and
fried egg (IDR 3k).
Combo Ribs and Chicken – IDR
90k Cut’ n
Grill caters the “Combo Menu” for those who think that “two is better than one”,
or basically for those who are greedy and have a big appetite LOL JK. Besides
the Ribs and Chicken combo that I had, they also have the Sirloin and Ribs. The
thick single bone rib was covered in BBQ dressing and the chicken had this
peri-peri like dressing, but not exactly that. Overall, I found both the meat
tender enough and altogether pretty tasty, not to mention, the potato chips,
veges and blackpepper sauce sides.
Meat Craver Pizza – IDR 60k A good
moist and fluffy pizza with generous cheese topping just can’t go wrong.
Seriously
had nothing bad to say about the pizza, and besides, as mentioned above, pizza
topped with generous meat, mushroom, light dressing and covered with generous
mozarella cheese allowing us to get the cheese strain shot, how can it go
wrong? It simply can’t.
Flavor
wise, I found everything in control, the tomato base spread was just proper and
not too much, while still giving that hint of tangy flavor to the pizza.
Hokubee Sirloin – IDR 115k I
really hope my picture can show you just how tender this Sirloin steak is!
Promise
me when it comes to steaks, DON’T TAKE TOO LONG ON THE FREAKING PICTURES! Or you’re
missing the steak on its best state where it’s completely hot, tender and
juicy!
How do
you usually have your steaks, as much as I like saucy steaks, I find myself
liking steak more when it is what it is, just a little sprinkle of salt and
pepper on top and I am really to dig in, my sister on the other hand a total
opposite, well both are honestly equally enjoyable #yum. You can choose either the
complimentary mushroom or blackpepper sauce to go with your steak, we had the
mushroom sauce to go along and even though I expected it to be a little thicker
in terms of texture (not that it’s watery), the flavor however was spot on.
I am
just always excited to acknowledge the fact that more and more qualified
steakhouses are coming and offer. It’s so sad, but absolutely true that the bad
economy situation we’re suffering kinda have the negative effect to most
restaurants that I know, and to come with more affordable options while still
manage to offer beautiful quality is just a good resort.
The
food here is insanely affordable for steak and grilled food category, I didn’t
set my expectation to this one, and therefore I found eating here is super
worth it, for the pricing that they offer and that kind of quality, I can
predict that Cut’ n Grill will have its years in the biz. GOOD LUCK! Cut n Grill The Bale C1-C2 Jalan Tanah Lot, Daan Mogot KM 16 021 - 2967 5409 Opening hours: 11 AM - 10:30 PM Average spending for two: IDR 200k Dresscode: casual
