Remboelan

I'm sorry guys, it took me so long to post this review.. I've been busy lately with my Le Sweets feel free to visit my other blog :)

Back to our food journey.. I went to Plaza Senayan for weekend quite often and I just noticed there's a new restaurant, Remboelan.. Remboelan in Indonesian means a full moon, the restaurant located in 4th floor you should walk the stairs to their dining area..My curiosity dragged me with my bf to give it a try..

Just like its name Remboelan, the place is setting up in circular shape resembles a full moon. Somehow it's feel so romantic, I love the ambiance! It’s a good place to dine with your loved ones and also hang out with your friends..

The restaurant serves a variety of Indonesian soul food..

Browsing their menu, we had such a hard time picking some dishes, everything looks so good!

Also their desserts selection is very tempting..

First to start we ordered Galatin Komplit (35K), it is a baked chicken loaf with their special sauce and its condiments..

I love this gelatine, it well seasoned and go well with the savory sauce.. But the portion is way too small, only got 3 pieces and I prefer they serve it with fried potatoes rather than potato chips.. 

Followed with Tahu Telor Petis (32K), cubes of tofu fried together with egg, topped with fresh veggies served in shrimp paste soya sauce.. The sauce went well together with the fried egg n tofu..

And Mie Goreng Jawa (35K), Javanese style fried noodle with a sweet savory taste.. Nice, the noodle was not too dry..

Finish off the dinner with sweet ending, Es Remboelan (25K), just like a usual mixed ice.. Nothing special here, but refreshing though.

I love this place, the next week I asked my boyfriend to back here again.. And luckily he also love it being here.. They still got some dishes I wanna try.. So here it is my 2nd visit..

Never skip the tofu dish for me ;).. I ordered Tahu Campur (20K), a fried tofu with fried shrimp fritters served with their special sauce.. I think the sauce is same with their Tahu Telor Petis..

Next is Sate Ayam, a grilled chicken skewers served separately with peanut sauce.. The chicken was well marinated and tender.. 

Last but not least, my bf ordered Pindang Bandeng (if i'm not mistaken, coz I lost the receipt).. I'm not fancy this kind of fish (Bandeng/Milkfish) but my bf enjoy it very much.. He said the soup was flavorful and has a balanced in taste..

The foods seems fairly authentic for what you can get in the mall.. What I love here is, they serve our all dishes together so there's no pause when we enjoying the meals.. A nice place to tickle your taste buds with a tasty Indonesian home-cooked dishes..

Smoking Joe's

One of my reader asking about Smoking Joe's, it takes me a long time to post it hehe ;) A barbeque lover might know about Smoking Joe's already..

An inviting ambiance and lovely place to hang around, especially on weekend with a live music band..

It'a all about barbecue here but they specialized in Memphis style..

 

A Complimentary Breads.. Still warm n freshly baked.. 

Tortilla Pizza (54K) seems nice to start our dinner.. A thin tortilla skin base pizza topped with mozarella cheese and pulled pork barbeque drizzled with their special sauce..  

 

Seems they like to put the pulled pork barbeque on some non-traditional dishes.. The other is BBQ Pork Nachos (49K). Nice crispy nachos with generous melted cheese and pulled pork barbeque.. 

Come to our mains..

We tried the complete one, Combo Small (195K), 1/4 portion of roasted chicken, 1/4 portion of beef brisket, and 1/4 portion of pork ribs served in sliced white bread come with two options of side dishes.. For the side dishes we opted lemon broccoli and baked bean.. It's well marinated and perfectly cooked but for me the pork ribs was a bit greasy..

I love this one the Pulled Pork- Small (95K), shredded pork barbeque served on sliced white bread with two choices of side dish; fried sweet potato with baked bean..The meat was so tender and so flavorful..

Next is Lamb Chop (175K) with their special sauce and french fries.. 

 

I asked for more for their Baked Bean (22K) side dish haha.. The bean was baked well, tender and it went well with its sweet sour tomato sauce.. 

 

We ended our dinner with sweet Chips Cookies (72K), a warm soft baked cookie on skillet drizzled with chocolate sauce serve with vanilla ice cream.. This is really something that you can't say no to! hehe..

There are several places serving a barbeque dishes around Jakarta, but from what I know Smoking Joe's is the only place that serves a Memphis style barbeque.. It's nice place to pay your curiosity about a Memphis style barbeque..
