I was in Jakarta again few days ago, we were supposed to have a gathering,
Bukber in this occasion. But guess what, it was canceled on the last minute! Yes, I went all the way just for that.. hiksz (#_#)!@_@&%%@^(%
So anyway, I decided just to dine out with one other friend who was going with me to the gathering. We went to this Arabian restaurant in Kemang, the owner and him were old best friends, twenty sth years together in Yaman, so he said. Being the owner and one of the chef him self, the restaurant offers pretty authentic and original Arabian food taste.
Kurma was served, Mint Tea ; Tamarin for drinks. Their
Kebab served with
Hommus was yummy, even for me who doesn't really in to lamb. I ordered
Fattet Dajaj (chicken fillet, rice, yoghurt, fried bread, special spices) and I love it !!! It's actually only appetizer, doesn't look that much but we weren't able to finish a half of it ahahaha..
Another unique drinks I didn't have the space to have was
Sahlab, basically made from milk, sugar, pistachios and a sprinkle of cinnamon).
It was a quite a heavy meal with pretty intense chat too, hence I didn't take pics except this one :D (I couldn't remember the name of the food ahahha)
The owner was really friendly, he speaks fluent Indonesia, English, Arab of course, and French (OMG!!).
Should you look for different eating experience, Arabian food is a good choice.
I surely recommend this restaurant !
Happy trying ^^
