AMBER CHOCOLATE BAR SENOPATI


Amber is sophisticated in so many levels. The newest restaurant from Mount Scopus group which also managed Negev, Balboni, The Harvest, and Chateau Blanc is located at Senopati area just across Cacaote.

Macaron (15k/pc)



We tried all the 13 flavours, from the most unique flavours like curry and chilli pepper until the good old dulce chocolate which turned out to be my favourite flavours among all. Their macaron texture was easily cracked, but I like how it was not overly sweet.

Pan Seared Salmon Trout (160k)


I have always been a huge fan of salmon and the way Amber did with them was so right. We asked to have it medium seared to maintain the smooth texture. Strongly recommended dish.

Black Risotto (90k)


The black risotto was cooked with mushroom and baby squids. The texture was a bit over cooked that it looked a bit like sticky rice instead of risotto, but the flavour was nicely done. Right seasoning and saltiness.

So, great another option to spend your weekend :)

BOTTEGA RISTORANTE Kuningan Jakarta



Yes Bottega, like in that Bottega Veneta.

Bottega is the newest establishment from the same people behind Wilshire. Located at Lingkar Mega Kuningan at the lobby of Menara Bank Danamon, the restaurant opens early from 9am which is good as one of their target customers should be the professionals working around the area.

In the menu is European food with mostly Italian. They also serve breakfast menu ranging from 55 - 75k. If the breakfast menu doesn't excites you, they also serve panini with your choice of breads.

Seared Tuna Nicoise Salad (99k)
Olive tapenade, soft boiled quail egg, haricot verts, cherry tomatoes, baby potatoes, artichokes


Bottega Steak Frites (149k)
USDA Prime  Striploin steak (200g) with Demi Glace & house made potato chips.


Spanish Beef Burger (89k)
Chorizo, paprika aioli, sun dried tomatoes, arugula, cheedar, red onions, fries.


Salted Caramel Churros (35k)
The chef's recommendation salted caramel churros was really good! Crusty and crisp with soft texture on the inside. Yes, the sugar icing and the salted caramel sauce probably not really good for your diet, but they tasted so good that you won't mind gaining that extra fat


Overall we enjoyed our lunch. Good food with pretty ambiance. Loving the chic vibe. Based on the menu and how it was located at the same neighbourhood, I could see Bottega as a strong contender for the good old Loewy.

BINTANG RADLER


When Bintang comes with their newest creation "Bintang Radler", I was super psyched. I know this unique of beer and natural juice lemon with only 2% alcohol content will suit my taste bud, and it does!


When I first tried Bintang Radler, I immediately find myself loving this the unique twist. It was light and sweet with a hint of acidity from the lemon. I personally think Bintang is making a smart innovation with this Bintang Radler as it was light and refreshing, not too heavy that it's suitable for any occasion. I could easily see myself having this over dinner.

Thank you Bintang Radler for this new twist! Now I can finally have my beer moment with my friends. Cheers!

VIVERRI COFFEE MUARA KARANG


The strategic location, the monochrome, the fast they serve all day breakfast, you name it. They are not exactly newbie. This new Muara Karang outlet is their second outlet after the first one in Pluit. The first outlet is located inside house complex, petite and only serve coffee. Their second outlet is much bigger with wider menu serving all day breakfast and light snacks as well

The strategic location right in the intersection of Muara Karang main street is such a smart choice, not to mention, the pretty monochrome design with the white bricks, black touch and natural wood furniture


The system here is, you order and pay at the counter, then your orders will be delivered to your table.


We settled on Full Monty (45k). I simply can't say no to scrambled eggs and sauteed mushrooms. We also had their Iced mocha cream (40k) and Iced rose tea. The iced mocha was pretty good, the coffee was bold without being too strong with mocha flavor blended in
