Kopi Oey

Today I will review about a restaurant at Jakarta owned by Bondan Winarno.  FYI, Bondan Winarno is famous in Indonesian culinary. I believed most of the Indonesian people know him.  He is so famous with his word 'Maknyus' that he says in his television food programmed every time he tastes delicious food that he likes.

We accidentally found this restaurant after we had lunch at Pasar Baru area. So over there we only ordered some dessert: Banana Flambe Ala Mode and Milo Dinosaurus.

Banana Flambe Ala Mode is a recommended dessert in this restaurant.

Milo Dinosaurus is a beverage that is adapted from Singapore's Milo Dinosaur.

Overall we like both desserts so much.

Other than nice foods, their restaurant interior design also becomes a plus point to attract customer to come in. It's a retro and eye-catching.

Will I go there again? Yes


Banana Flambe Ala Mode IDR 28.000

Milo Dinosaurus IDR24.000

Omakase Burger

Have you ever heard about Omakase Burger? This burger is so famous in Singapore. Some says that this is possibly the best burger in Singapore. But, is it true??

Curious about the rumor, I visited Omakase Burger at PasarBella - Marina Bay Sands event last two weeks. Over there, the queue was very long. No other restaurants at PasarBella that have longer queue than this restaurant. Based on this fact, I believed this is the most favourite restaurant at PasarBella.

Finally I managed to ordered Deluxe Cheese Burger after waiting around 20minutes. Deluxe Cheese Burger was contained of vegetables, beef patty, cheese, shallot and mushroom.

Sorry no offense, personally I felt that the beef patty was too soft and the burger taste was just so-so. The price was also quite expensive. Honestly, I am confused why they said this burger is possibly the best burger in Singapore. Or maybe they like this burger because the beef patty is soft?

Will I go there again? No.


Deluxe Cheese Burger S$16.90

James` Butchery & Co.

Today I will show you the second restaurant that I try at PasarBella named James` Butchery & Co.

FYI, James` Butchery & Co. is a new specialty butchery led by James Goodenough with 20 years experience. They provide a wide range of gourmet meat selections from beef, pork, poultry, lamb and veal.

At PasarBella, James` Butchery & Co. has two stalls: meat stall and sandwich stall. I try Wagyu Steak Sandwich from their sandwich stall. The sandwich is very crispy and the wagyu steak is also tender. This is the most delicious sandwich that I have tried so far.


Wagyu Steak Sandwich S$15.00
 

 
Judging from the wagyu steak that I eat and also because of seeing the grilled meat by myself, I believed the meat that they provide are also have a great taste. Next time if I visit PasarBella again, I will try their meat.  
 

 
Will I go there again? Yes.
