Han Gang

Han Gang is a Korean restaurant located in some malls. It's one of my favorite Korean restaurant and it is also the first Korean restaurant I visited in Jakarta. It offers a variety of Korean food which I am pretty sure suits everybody's taste.

Squid Bibimbap Rp 48.000 (US$5)

The chilli paste is sweet and slightly spicy. There are fresh cucumbers, chilli pieces, and carrots. The squids are really generous. It's served on a hot stone pot, so it would still be warm until you finish up. It's really really nice and I just love the flavor. Well, it's indescribeable.

Complimentary Appetizer

The complimentary appetizer varies in amount and variety. It depends on the number of customers. There are soy sauce small potato, kimchi (pickled cabbage), cold cooked spinach, fried small fish, etc.. 

Tteopoki Rp 38.000 (US$4)

Tteopoki is Korean rice cake. This version got chunks of really nice and firm rice cakes, instant noodle, vegetables and sauce. The taste is very strong and savory. The sauce is thick.

Mrs. Fields Muffins

I just tried muffins from Mrs. Fields when they were having exhibition in a nearby shoppinng centre. And my choices for muffins are lemon cheese and chocolate chip muffins.

Lemon Cheese Muffin (well I forgot the price but it was reasonable)

The lemon is so zesty and the cream on top is slightly sweet, so it blends really well with the lemon. The muffin itself is cheesy and slightly tangy with lemon. Was kind of a weird combination but I like it anyway. Don't expect it to have the same taste like Sicilian lemon cheese cake though.

Chocolate Chip Muffin

This one is better than the lemon one. I really love that feeling when i get lumps of chocolate chip in my bites. Nothing really special about the muffin though. The cream, just like the one on top, is kind of oily. 

White Hunter

White Hunter is a western-italian food restaurant. In Indonesia, it always come along with a Korean restaurant, Han Gang. So we can choose the foods from a wide variety. If we want some Asian we can try Han Gang, and if we want to try American we can go for White Hunter. And the best thing is of course, you can have both at once!

Mozarella Cheese Stick-Rp 28.ooo (US$ 3)

My favorite Cheese Stick in town. It's so worth it! Considering other cheese sticks from other restaurants which cost more than US$4. But lesser price does not mean lesser taste. Served with fresh tomato dips, it has won over my heart, lol! It's so crunchy outside but chewy and soft inside. It just tastes great. Especially when you it eat hot.

Tenderloin Steak--Rp 180.000 (US$ 20)

The steaks here are just fine, but I would suggest you to have it medium rare- if you are not allergic to raw meats- the meat would still have its pinkish red color by then, and still juicy. It's served with a choice of side dish- mashed potato, potato wedges, coleslaw french fries or baked potato

Mom's Dessert Recipe

Desserts made easy

This mouth watering dessert is just simply irresistible, even I was full after eating dinner. It contain chestnuts wrapped in glutinous flour, cincau, and creamer. Topped with some ice cream. Really made my day 

The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf would be my all time favorite coffee shop. It's got a wide range of cakes-some of which can't be found elsewhere-and what can be better, in my hometown it's always 50% off with the usage of certain credit card. 

Chocolate Fudge-Rp32.000 ($3.5)

Chocolate fudge is an all time favorite and one of the best selling cakes. The chocolate flavor is really rich. The cake texture was kind of hard and rather rough than spongy. The thick chocolate cream applied in between the two layers of cake is awesome. Love this cake so much I think I can eat this every day and still want more.

'My Mom's' Scone - Rp 24.500 ($2.5)

Chosen this scone for take away. It was packed in a beautiful paper bag along with a small pack of butter and jam. The scone was not like what I had supposed it to be at the first bite. But it gets better at the second and following bites. I found traces of raisins in it. It was buttery and really rough.

Red Temptation cake Rp 32.000 ($3.5)

The friendly waiter claimed that this cake is made from red sweet potato. The red colour was not as brilliant as red velvet cupcakes, but it stands out among the other cakes in the showcase. I decided to give it a try. The taste of the cake was just so so but i really love the cream cheese (the yellow ones in the picture) I'm a cheese lover! But I think it's very healthy as sweet potato contains lots of essential nutrients.

Chocolate Marshmallow Cake Rp 32.000 ($3.5)

Chocolate Marshmallow Cake is absolutely elegant and delicate. I had this for breakfast and it's like I was cherishing every single bite.. The chocolate ganache topping is fantastic, it is not too sweet, and it is thick and flavorful. The marshmallow pieces is even more fluffier than the usual marshmallow. The double layers of both the chocolate cake and the hmm.. chocolate cream, NICE!

Carrot Cake Rp 32.000 ($3.5)

This cake is so unpredictably sweet and super duper delicious. It has a strong cinnamon flavor. The cake is sweet and loaded with jelly like carrots. I have no idea how they processed the carrot shreds to such a chewy texture. The cream cheese layer is also sweet and cheesy. The carrot on top is made of cream cheese I would say, but has a stronger taste.

Chocolate Fudge and Red Temptation Cake

Pao Quiejo

I was just simply excited when pao quiejo is available once more in Roti Boy Bakeshoppe in the nearest mall from my house. It was cheesy and really chewy if you eat it when it was still warm. When it's colder however it becomes dry and the texture is rough and it gives kind of a different sensation. I love it both ways though.
