SHINMEN RAMEN, REMBOELAN AND TIN PAN ALLEY

 It was quite a fun holiday last weekend. Met 3 of my fave girlfriends and had several chances for trying several new places.

Saturday lunch, we went to Shin Men Ramen. Located on Wijaya 2 no. 122. Just across the Wijaya Grand Center, south Jakarta. The Shinmen special ramen will always be my favorite.(Before I tried ippudo sg). Sorry, I forgot to take pic, I was tooo hungry that I ate everything straight away.

(Psstt...after ippudo sg ramen , I realized, it's just the best of all because its broth is thick and very tasty but does make u bloated, but this shinmen is worth to try too=)

****************************

Saturday dinner, we went to Plaza Senayan and tried the new restaurant at the top of the atrium. The name is Remboelan.

Indonesian soulfood, that's what they say about their food.

At dinner time, we have to wait for about 30mins to get to our table.

In my opinion, the dramatic part was when you have to climb up through the grand staircase to enter the main area. But the down part was I felt like I was in a cage.


I ordered gado-gado (25k) because of the lent. I think the peanut sauce is too thick and not that tasty. My companion ordered Garang Asem (55k) and Pindang Ikan (55k).

I started to think my girlfriend as my boyfriend because I kinda spent my whole weekend with her...hahaa..please don't think thatt wayy..I'm still normal.

Sunday late lunch, we finally got into Tin Pan Alley at UOB Plaza. Just next to Grand Indonesia. Not that crowded during weekend.



We ordered Creamy Mushroom Soup (38k) and Phillo Veggie Triangles (48k).


At first, I was a bit disappointed by the look of my phillo. A bit overtoasted I guess. But the triangles really tasted so rich and refreshing. It must be because of the veggie and creamy feta cheese with the sour refeshing marinara sauce. The phillos were very crusty too. Love it.

The soup was ok. Got the fragrant of the toasty mushie at first sip and the the richness of the seasoning.

LUCY IN THE SKY

Lucy in the sky. Located on SCBD that used to be Bengkel night park. I remember that it was one of the hippest club on my brother's generation.(hahaa..that was soo long time ago)

I went there after office hour. The place is quite interesting, outdoor seating with 250 degree sky scrappers view. But when it comes to be a bit dark, mosquitos started to come out, looking for their prey. Next time, if i want to go there, I will make sure that I am wearing long pants.



The choice for food is not much. Well, my friend and I were looking for something light, but there's none. Or maybe there was something wrong in our eyes but we ended up just having our regular teas (25k)


At 7pm, the waiter politely asked us to go as their having a private birthday party there. So ciaoo!

It's been a month. I have lots of overdue post here

Last week, I dropped by to Singapore to meet some people and had some nice meal. But the one I love the most is Ippudo Ramen in  Mandarin Gallery, Orchard Road - Spore.

Lots of people has recommended this Ramen to me. Fortunately, I arrived right before lunch time, so we didn't have to join the long queue after us. My parents and I only had to wait for about 10mins.

We tried the original tonkatsu ramen and the spicy tonkatsu ramen. They all each $15. You can ask for additional topping for various prices.


After waited for about 10mins, we got out order. Out of those two soups, II prefer the spicy one. The soup was very thick, creamy, but once you tasted it, it tasted very light and had longg spicy aftertaste. Love it.
The original one was somehow too gingery. But the pork loin and the egg were amazingg!!

Oh ya, you can choose the texture of the noodle, I tried both medium and soft. I prefer the soft one. And you actually can ask for additional noodle if you still have lots of your soup by yelling some Jap words. (Please look around to see how it works)

I will definitely come back again to enjoy the spicy tonkatsu ramen and the pork bun. My friend said it is really a worth to try.
