Eatin' Xperience..

Holycow! Citos

On this time of my eatin' xperience will be talk about popular steak in Jakarta. In Jakarta, you can find lots of steakhouse easily and it becomes so much popular among young people. The one steakhouse that lots of talked is Holycow! by Chef Afit. For this time, I have xperience to taste this most talked about steak, Holycow! in Cilandak Town Square (Citos), Jakarta.

Eventhough, the restaurant is located in the corner, but the red exterior of Holycow! can be easily recognized. The decor of Holycow! Citos is very rustic and look like a ranch. You can feel the ranch ambience with nice lighting effect.

Beverages

After I chose the seat, right away I ordered Wagyu Tenderloin and Nolan Tenderloin. When you order to the waitress, you will be ask for the side dishes (potato, vegetables and sauce) and also the wellness of steak (raw, medium, welldone). So, prepare yourself before you will be asked by the waitress. Then, for the beverage, I ordered mango peach ice and iced cappucinno. While I waitin' for my order, I'm very enjoy with warm ambience because of the decoration and the smoke of grilling.

Then.. Voilaa!! My order is coming!!

Wagyu Tenderloin

Wellness: Welldone

Sauce: Blackpepper sauce

Potato: Mashed potato

Vegetable: Sautee spinach and corn

Price: 185K

When my wagyu on the table, I can smell the fragrant of fresh beef. Hmmm... it showed how fresh it is! Then, I poured the blackpepper sauce on top of it. When I cut the steak...it's very very tenderrrrr!!! When you make a welldone steak, it can easily to be dried, but IT'S NOT AT ALL!! I found that it's very juicy in a well done. It just melted in my mouth beautifully. Blackpepper sauce and wagyu steak is the best combination. Try it! The first bite is just like a first kiss (lebay *mode on), u know. Maybe you think it's too much, but it's true!! This wagyu tenderloin felt more tasty with the mashed potato. Smooth dan savory mashed potato make you feel calm on your mouth. For the vegetables, the sauteed spinach is very nice and fresh. I think everyone who doesn't like spinach or greens will be change their mind. Hehehe

Holycow!

Nolan Tenderloin

Nolan Tenderloin

Wellness: Welldone

Sauce: Mushroom Sauce

Potato: French Fries

Vegetable: Beans and corn

Price: 140K

Not too different with the wagyu, I can smell nice aroma of this steak. It's very nice to see the grilled mark on it. Wuuuihh!! Just saw that grilled mark can make me more hungry.. hehe. The french fries hmm just like another typical french fries. The vegetables was very tasty and I loved the crunch of beans. For the beverage that I ordered is nice. The Mango peach was so refreshing than cappucinno.
But overall, when you eat steak (wagyu) and non-wagyu, you will find the difference. Wagyu is more tender. It has a soft texture than other meat. So, wagyu is recommended!!

Korean Casual Restaurant, Mujigae

5:44 PM

Eatin' Experience...

It seems Korean wave has been attract lots of young people in Jakarta. Start from the Korean celebrities, movies, k-pop, k-drama, culture and also food. Many young people are curious with Korean dish. See this trend makes some of enterpreneur make Korean restaurant in Jakarta. It includes Mujigae Restaurant.

In fact, the Korean wave makes me feel curious about Korean dish. Then i decided to go to Mujigae Restaurant in Margo City, Depok. Before I ate in this restaurant, I ever taste the similar kind of restaurant, Mu Gung Hwa. Actually, Mu Gung hwa is a supermart in South Jakarta but they have a small restaurant inside of it. Well, my visit to the Mujigae Restaurant just like bring back the memory of Mu Gung Hwa's Korean food which is very "Korean real flavour". But how about Mujigae restaurant?

So, lets start it!
My first impression when walk into this restaurant is the interior design. Mujigae is full of color on teh walls and chairs. This interiro make a fresh and young ambience. When I entered and walked to my table, all the servers greet us with "annyonghaseo" that means "hallo" in Korean. Then, the unique one from this restaurant is the way you order a menu. You can order the menu by using an iPad that available on the table. You do not need to call a waitress with your hand or voice. Just click, order a menu then all ordered foods of you will be delivered on your table. Actually, this way is so much easier.

Mujigae Menu
Well, I decided to order beef sausage toppokki and a package menu of bulgogi & korean fried chicken with rice. Toppokki is a Korean rice cake. This food is very popular as a Korean snack. I think, Mujigae is success to make Korean food taste familiar for Indonesian taste. For beef sausage toppoki, you will find, beef sausage, toppokki of course and tofu crisp. It is a good invention of a toppokki because, you can enjoy it with beef sausage and tofu crisp give a nice texture. The taste is very gochujang flavour. Gochujang is a Korean chilli paste that often found in Korean dish. This toppokki served in a hot plate which is a modern twist for Korean food.

Move to the rice package of Mujigae. I ordered bulgogi & korean fried chicken. On this menu, you will find a cup of rice, kimchi, japchae, bulgogi and also Korean fried chicken.Actually, this menu is not much different with Indonesian food where you will find chicken, beef stew, sohun and rice. But, i think the combination of all the menu on one spoon is great. You will find a sweet, sour and little spicy on it. So, if you are a beginner in korean food, i recommend to try this!

So, overall, I think Mujigae Restaurant has a great taste with a great place. If you want to hang with your friends and enjoy some Korean dish in modern twist, I think this place is good for you. Oiyaa... you can even request a Korean song in this restaurant. Cool right!
