Dear fellow tasters,
Shabu-shabu, suki, hotpot, steamboat restaurants are literally all over the place nowadays. Unlike Japanese shabu-shabu place which offers mostly meat, seafood or other raw ingredients, a Thai/Chinese suki restaurant usually comes with additional various stuffs to put in your hotpot – assorted dumplings, beef balls, seafood balls, noodles, mushrooms, fish belly, meat or seafood-rolled veggies, different types of tofu and many more, you name it.
Dear fellow tasters,
More from my mobile photo archives, this one was from a lunch visit with a friend to a Thai restaurant at Plaza Indonesia, Kuppa, of course with a 50% credit card discount. I think this place has existed there for quite a while and the concept is contemporary Thai cuisine, so the ambiance is more modern minimalist than ethnic traditional Thai, although when I dined there, the place looked as if it had seen its best years, glancing from the worn out menu books.
Dear fellow tasters,
It was the end of fasting month last year and I was invited to join a break fasting get-together with friends from former workplace and the chosen restaurant was X.O Suki & Cuisine at Senayan City shopping mall. Several months later with almost the same group members, we were back at the same place for a join birthday treat. Just like the name, the menu here splits into two main categories, the suki and the cuisine.
Dear fellow tasters,
Credit card promos are a great excuse to dine out and that was the case when my friend and I tried out Coca Suki on one occasion when they have 30% CC discount. We ordered one of the suki set for two which already includes salad, appetizer, steamed rice, and dessert. I also had the thai iced tea to drink which has always been a favorite. We both loved the crispy duck salad which was a wonderful combination of tangy, spicy and salty with delightful flavor from the shreds of crispy duck. Continue reading
Dear fellow tasters,
Gosh, it’s been ages since I wrote the last post. Merry Christmas to all fellow tasters and in this festive season, a lot of great dining has happened so I’ve decided to continue blogging. This post is a little bit about a Thai restaurant which reminds me of a friend’s farewell dinner several years ago in the main Jittlada restaurant located at Jalan Sultan Agung. Nowadays, you can find a Jittlada outlet almost at every mall around Jakarta and this post and rating are based on a visit to a mall outlet in Senayan City shopping center.
