Huize Van Wely at The Papilion Kemang

Long time I didn't see my friend, the heits blogger 'Mak" Yenny (#yennymakanmulu). So in one bright day I asked them to join me to had a splendid Buffet lunch at Huize Van Wely Kemang. A bit bored at office, made me want to escape for a while. So I picked her up at her apartment and straight went to Kemang Area. Luckily traffic been friendly to us.

Huize van Wely had 2 locations so far. On Kemang Raya area and on Pacific Place Mall, Jakarta. The one that I visited is on Kemang location. Located at The Papilion Building. A glass building that look so chick from the outside. Love the atmosphere inside. Look so sleek and clean without any major furniture. But still it looked elegant and sophisticated. The main attraction in would be the cake display and the bar. That's make the room more alive.

Huize van Wely offered Buffet Lunch Menu that we can choose. It only available every Wednesday. They served Indonesian, Japanese and Western on their Buffet table and rotate it every week. That day, I got the chance to have a try Japanese Buffet menu. 

Potato Salad

Salmon Saikyo

Dorayaki

Black Sesame Mousse

I love most of the dish that they served. It served fresh and warm. The quality of the food is so no doubt again. The food that I took more than one time was the the Salmon Saikyo and the dessert. The Salmon Saikyo, is so delicate, well seasoning, fresh salmon and not fishy. The dessert, both Dorayaki and Black Sesame Mousse was heaven on earth. It melt in your mouth. Other dishes also you shouldn't missed. It captured the authentic Japanese dish. 

The great thing is, I met the Chef behind this amazing dish. And can't stand my self to approach him. Origin from Japan (forgive me I forget his name), he just not delegate the buffet table to his staff, but he the one who check it, whether the Buffet table perfectly served or not. Well, Sir, I guess you've made it so far.

Huize van Wely also sell the scrumptious praline, cookies and very pretty cakes. It all not include in Buffet menu of course. But you still can buy it in their store. Look at their presentation, really spoiling your eyes and makes mouthwatering.

The price for the lunch Buffet at Huize van Wely is slightly expensive. Its IDR 250.000 but I guess it so worth the price. Considering, all menu that they served is really great and none of them was disappointing. For this Lunch Buffet menu only available on Wednesday start from 11.30am to 3pm.

VALUE LUNCH MENU at ITACHO SUSHI GRAND INDONESIA, JAKARTA

Not so long from my 1st visit to Itacho Sushi, now I came back again to the extra ordinary sushi place in town. Still remember from my 1st visit, what I had was a good impression. So when Itacho told me that they have Value Lunch Set Menu on their menu list, I don't hesitate to come, beside, I also curious with what they serve.

Like its name, this following menu only available during Lunch hour, Monday to Thursday, 11am to 5pm. It also not available during the Public Holiday. It seem that Itacho try to attracted everyone who works around Grand Indonesia.

SAKURA DON - IDR 58.000
Sushi rice topped with fish roe, zucchini, octopus, salmon and tamago-yaki. 
Pretty, color-full like Sakura flower.

SALMON BLACKPEPPER with BUTTER - IDR 65.000
The very juicy and fatty salmon in a bowl. I like how  the blackpepper sauce not too overpowering but soak up enough into the salmon. Make this dish taste fantastic. The onion saute make it more fragrant. Served with warm Miso Soup.

SAKE SALMON DON - IDR 65.000
A simplicity come from this dish. A thick cut of sashimi salmon upon the rice. But I wish, I can get a view more cut of Salmon, to make it even with the rice. Like how it serve fresh and not fishy. Served with warm Miso Soup.

GRILLED SABA SHIOYAKI - IDR 60.000
This menu is my other favorite from  the Lunch Set Menu beside the Blackpepper Salmon one. Saba Shioyaki is a grilled mackarel with Salt. No need any condiments added, this fish already give the flavor itself. The fish is fresh and not smell fishy. Served with Warm Miso Soup. Because I like it that much, I BOUGHT it my self for my hubby. And like I thought, he loved it also.

CURRY SLICED BEEF with RICE - IDR 60.000
A thin cut of tender beef with onion served with the right thickness of curry sauce.

ADD IDR 15.000 FOR MATCHA ICE CREAM OR SOFT DRINK

Like the Matcha Ice Cream. The texture is smooth. The matcha taste not too strong but flavorfull. Topped with red bean.

If you read my previous review regarding Itacho Sushi, then you must be know that visiting Itacho, you must order their Sushi. Their Supreme Sea Eel Sushi (IDR 70.000) taste amazing. Fresh eel with sweet sauce, grilled to the perfection. Salmon and Squid Sushi (IDR 10.000 / each) also the one that you can't missed. The thick cut of the salmon and squid upon the rice. Plus their Salmon Sashimi (IDR 30.000).  A fresh cut of Salmon served in a plate.

Supreme Sea Eel Sushi (IDR 70.000)

Salmon Sushi (IDR 10.000 / each)

Squid Sushi (IDR 10.000 / each)

Salmon Sashimi (IDR 30.000)

Overall, Value Lunch Set Menu that Itacho offered really great deal. Specially their Blackpepper Salmon and Saba Shioyaki. Will come to try another. Thanks Itacho Sushi for having me and friends!
