En Dining, EX Jakarta

This time I wanna share my experience of dining at En Dining, a Japanese dining resto placed in EX Jakarta.
I've shared about their famous Honey Bread which is absolutely stunning and this is about the food.

The picture below is kind of rice with burrito's filling (I forgot the name.T.T) which taste exactly like rice with bolognaise sauce. Hmm..it's nice coz bolognaise sauce is always nice eaten with rice..haha.
Priced 50 thousand something..


Below is salmon sashimi. What can I explain about a salmon sashimi? It's just perfect with it's white stripe of fat..hmm..
This is what my dad always order in Japanese resto.


Below is my sister's order, double salmon roll. It's actually sushi roll with poached salmon inside and topped with raw salmon with green tobiko that taste like wasabi on top of it. But my sister asked if they could switch the poached salmon with raw salmon and they did it.
This is sooo good..
Salmon in the inside and on the outside is definitely superb.
Fully recommended.


I ordered many other menus that I forgot to take the picture..T.T
Like aburi sushi, that is grilled sushi. Rice with grilled things on top of it and it's so good..
I also ordered salmon ikura don which was served in a really small portion like even you can hold the bowl in your hand..T.T But I can tolerate it since the ikura really hypnotized me..haha.
And I did order grilled sishamo, a small fish that has no flesh at all and instead of flesh, the whole fish contains of it's roe.. It is SO DAMN GOOD!! Wow, I can't describe how tasty the fish roe is..
Yumm..
I also did order ordinary Japanese menus like tempura and teriyaki which is quite good and served in a good presentation.

For the overall, I love En Dining. The interior was superb that makes a good atmosphere. Their food taste good. The only concern if their price that is quite pricey compare to other Japanese restaurant.


So, my rating for En Dining : 7.5 out of 10

Honey Bread at En Dining

I love sweet foods where we can find most of them in the dessert menu of course..(not just food actually,I love all sweet things..XD hehe..)
So time I wanna share my experience of having En Dining's signature dessert, Honey Bread w/ Ice Cream.
En Dining is a Japanese restaurant located in EX Plaza Indonesia. They serve good food for dine in there and I've dine there for quite many times, but I've never tried their honey bread! Everytime I dine there, I saw every table beside me ordered honey bread and this makes me quite "stimulated" (good food will be ordered by everyone remember?). So, I ordered the honey bread..Well MY DAD ordered this.
Well actually I don't have any desire to order "bread" for dessert coz I never thought of something special with "bread". What can they do with bread? Coz bread is just..yea..bread!




And the waiter brought the Honey Bread to our table. At first, it looks like just a normal white bread which has not been cutted yet. So, it looks like a cube of 12cm thickness (my estimation) and maybe 15 width with a look of toasted bread on the outside. Then I realize that the "skin" of the bread is separated from the inner core of the bread, so the inner core and the "skin" of the bread is "connected" only from the 4 corners. (You'll know how hard it is to describe the exact shape in words if you already see that thing..T.T). On top of the bread, they put 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream an a swirl of raspberry sauce. And they also pour some honey around the bread.
So the way they serve this; first, they cut each corner of the bread's "skin" so it separated from the inner core and kind of like opening our way to directly pick the inner core of the bread which they already cutted it into 9 pieces or 3 times each sides if I'm not mistaken.
I took the first piece with some of the ice cream and the raspberry sauce.
Here is the exact chronology that time:
1. Took 1 piece of the bread and putted it to my plate.
2. Eat it.
3.
4. Shocked and silence for a moment while still chumping that bread in my mouth with closed eyes (to kind of meditate on that taste XD).

The bread is sooo goooddd!!!
IT IS TRULY REALLY GOOD. Really you will never imagine the taste until you eat it yourself. This is magnificent, make me speechless for a moment.
The bread is the softest bread I've ever eat before with it's sweet taste that taste like it has been soaked overnight in honey, it was really a perfect combination with the Ice Cream. The raspberry sauce itself I think is only a garnishing coz I almost cannot taste it at all..XD Hahaha..
But the bread was sooo gooodd...
It is WOW.
My family ordered 1 more portion of it after just finishing our first piece.

So, it cost me Rp 48.000 for 1 portion of that honey bread which actually quite expensive for just a "bread", but I'll still buy it.
I'll say that this is the best dessert I'VE EVER HAD in my life. It is truly gorgeous. Even better than 10 scoops of hageen-dazs.
And for this I'll give this

9,5 out of 10!!! I would give this 10 out of 10 if the price is more reasonable..ahahaha..

Note : If you plan to have this honeybread. You'll better book for a table first and order this honeybread first while booking your table. Coz this is this restaurant's favourite and I already find that it's sold out while I wanted to order it for 3 times..T.T
But I promise you won't regret!

Salmon Ikura Don at Sushi Tei

2 months ago I had a weekly dinner with my family..
As usual, we had a high tense debate just to decide where to eat until I got a revelation to go to Sushi Tei, a really well-known sushi restaurant at Jakarta.
We went to PIM II's ( Pondok Indah Mall 2) Sushi Tei, and it was full as usual there..hhh...
Luckily, we only have to wait for about 15 minutes for it.
It's a long time though when I think about it again, but nothing can resist our hunger.
So, we got seated at last and here's the new challenge, choosing the menu.
Sushi Tei has so many foods at their menu and almost all of it interested me.
But I already aim for its Salmon Ikura Don since last time I ate there coz it has a huuuuge portion of ikura there in the menu, and I'm like crazy for ikura,
so I just order it and quickly close the menu before I change my mind.

My dad ordered salmon don (chirashi sushi style, salmon sashimi above sushi rice), my mom ordered chicken teriyaki as always coz she doesn't really like any other food beside Indonesian food and chicken teriyaki is the only thing in the menu that's quite familiar for her, so she ordered that and my sister ordered chicken katsu curry rice.


So, here it comes what we order, especially my SALMON IKURA DON!
My Salmon Ikura Don was extremely excellent.
They put a big bunch of ikura there as what it looks like in the menu and the salmon slices looked quite good as well.
My first bite of the ikura was heavenly.
It was really really really good..
I can taste the juice (should I call it juice?) of the ikura when it popped up in my mouth.
Awesome. Ikura is always awesome.
The salmon is also good although I prefer Sushi Sei's salmon belly sashimi..hahaha..
I ordered the right choice, it was really an excellent menu.
My mom's chicken teriyaki was also good, well what can you say about chicken teriyaki?
My dad's salmon don taste the same with my salmon.
And my sister's curry was also quite good. But nothing beat Taichan for curry.

My salmon ikura don cost 80.000 rups.. well worthed for a treat like that..

My rating for this menu : 8.5 out of 10

Note: Ikura is salmon roe
