SHABU GHIN – Wolter Monginsidi Jakarta

If you see my previous post regarding Shaburi Japanese Shabu-Shabu, you'll notice that I told you guys that my hubby and I lately always end our self in All You Can Eat dining place. Specially when the rain coming. Eating something hot and soupy sound a great idea. So here we are at the newest join Shabu-Shabu house that located on Wolter Monginsidi area.

We're a bit surprise when come to Shabu Ghin, there are already a long queuing although its already past the dinner hour. Arrived at Shabu Ghin around 8.30pm on weekday and we have to wait around 8 more peoples. Whaattt??!! But since we've been through the jam and the road  construction a long the way, well... no choice unless waiting.

You can choose 4 kind of all you can eat package that you can choose.

• Shabu Ghin Special Beef IDR 188.000 for Adult or IDR 115.000 for Child/Senior
• Shabu Ghin US Premium Beef IDR 238.000 for Adult or IDR 145.000 for Child/Senior
• Shabu Ghin Wagyu Beef IDR 388.000 for Adult or IDR 235.000 for Child/Senior

If you already buy one of the package, you still can buy other meat outside your package for certain price. For example if you already buy the Shabu Ghin Special Beef, and you curious with the Wagyu one, you still can buy the Wagyu also. Shabu Ghin IDR 30.000/plate, Shabu Ghin US Premium Beef IDR 50.000/plate and Shabu Ghin Wagyu Beef IDR 80.000/plate.

Or if you can't manage the all you can eat menu, Shabu Ghin also have Set Menu. That consist Meat 2 plate of Meat and also include unlimited vegetables, drink and dessert.

• Shabu Ghin Special Beef  IDR 128.000
• Shabu Ghin US Premium Beef IDR 168.000
• Shabu Ghin Wagyu Beef IDR 258.000

Shabu Ghin have an earthy dining area concept. With wooden as their element. Divided into two area that separated with a view stairs. Since its pretty full packed that night, me and hubby don't to be seated infront of the Bar.Well, it can also make us easy to fly and grab the food aight? Hehehe.... Electric stove already built in the table. And we can use it separately with our friends. So if you come with your friends or family, you taste their soup also. This is what I did with my hubby. We order 2 different kind of soup so we can taste each other.

Look at that marble on the Wagyu Beef *drooling*

The US Premium Beef  that also you shouldn't miss

If we order the Shabu Ghin Wagyu Beef package, we also have privileged to have other beef like the Shabu Ghin Special Beef and Shabu Ghin US Premium Beef. Since I came to Shabu Ghin already late, so I ran out the Shabu Ghin Special Beef. The one that I tried was the Shabu Ghin US Premium Beef. The texture really great. As for the Shabu Ghin Wagyu Beef... Oh my... It melted in my mouth right away. I die!! My suggestion is, don't dip too long in the soup, otherwise you will ruin the texture. 

Shabu Ghin have pretty wide selection on their Buffet tables that place in the center of the dining area. From vegetables, Mushroom, Sushi, Karage, Tempura Moriawase, Assorted Seafood Balls, Assorted Noodles also fruits and dessert.

Shabu Ghin have 5 type of Soup that already include in your All you can eat package. But incase you curious with other soup outside your order, you still can order the other soup with additional charge IDR 29.000

The Soup that available in Shabu Ghin are Original Konbu, Chicken Mizutaki, Spicy Tonyu, Spicy Seafood and Sukiyaki. That night I ordered the Spicy Tonyu meanwhile hubby ordered Spicy Seafood. Both had an excellent taste. The Spicy Tonyu the one that make me curious. Because it only served in Shabu Ghin only. You never can't find any Spicy Tonyu Soup in other Shabu-Shabu restaurant. So it can be said that it's the Signature Soup from Shabu Ghin. The taste is like curry but more light with soybean based and a bit spicy taste. And the Spicy Seafood with also a slightly spicy taste have a very rich of seafood flavor.

Sushi

Ramen Spaghetti

Complete your journey at Shabu Ghin with the other sides and menu from Shabu Ghin's Buffet. The Ramen Spaghetti cooked to aldente with great flavor. Love the generosity of the meet and bolognaise sauce. Sushi with wise taste topped with crunchy garlic and crunchy karage on top. The karage and tempura also good. Not greasy. It crunchy outside and tender inside. Skip the Japchae as my tummy getting full.

I like the variant sauce that Shabu Ghin have. Try to be creative to mix'em up. I like the spicy suki taste taht I mix with the ponzu sauce. It suit with the fried  dish.

All you eat package also already include the unlimited beverages and dessert. I like the Sjora Mango drink. It so refreshing. And end your journey at Shabu Ghin with their Ice Cream and toppings.

At the end... we've got the Wagyu Overdose Syndrome here LOL... Dunno how many stack we've been eat. It so melt in your mouth makes you barely can't stop to eat it. Surely we'll comeback some other time to have another Shabu-Shabu Journey.

Every soup have its own character. And its fit with the meat. My favorite is the curry, which is not too thick but have a splendid flavor, and other Hot Miso Soup. Even basically I love all the taste of the soup. LOL...

All the side dish and other Buffet menu is also good to try. Don't missed their Sushi and Karage. Love it when I dip it in the Shaburi special sauce. There are Gomadare (Sesame Sweet Tare), Genghis Khan Sauce (Japanese Fruity Tare) dan Ponzu (Japanese Traditional Tare). Hubby tried to mix the 3 of the sauce and it turn out to be good.

The price that you paid is already include drinks and dessert. From hot to cold, from tea to coffee are available in the drink counter.

Spare your tummy for dessert. Shaburi have two type of Ice Cream, The milky one and the yogurt. If you think that you already full wit tons of  food earlier, perhaps you can choose their yogurt. But if you still can manage the ice cream, don't missed the chocolate one. Its so good.

At the end, I had a great dinner here with hubby. 1 hour is worth to wait. I guess 90 minutes is enough for us to have dine here. It enough make us can't get our ass up from the chair LOL... Surely we'll comeback here again and again.

Seven To 7 - Meat Shop & Cafe

I first know about Seven To 7 is from my friend. Often passing through this restaurant, but always hesitate to try it. But luckily, my hesitate don't take too long. Entering the not too spacious restaurant that dominate with red and wooden feel pretty convy. Seven To 7 placed in Lower Ground Sampoerna Strategic Building. Actually this is the 2nd branch of SevenTo7. Their 1st branch is in Pantai Indak Kapuk. Me and several friends took place in a nice long sofa. What I like about this restaurant is that they separate the smoking area and the non-smoking area. So everybody can feel happy to sit wherever they want. First step in to SevenTo7, you can see Meat display like in Meat Store. Yes you can choose your own meat before it cook.

First branch Seven To 7 actually is in Pantai Indah Kapuk. It all begin with a simple idea from 4 fabulous Momma,  Martha,  Lina,  Tris and Pifitri who had difficulties in finding great and healthy meat for their family in their area. From that problem, finally in December 2009 they opened their 1st Meat Store in Pantai Indah Kapuk.  From the succeed Meat Store business, they expand their Meat Store to a restaurant with a simple recipe. This idea also came out with a simple thought. Often, their customer asked them how to cook the meat. Since they have some simple recipe, they finally in March 2010 they really expand their business from Meat Shop only to Restaurant, with Mrs Lina as a Chef.

If usually most of restaurants frozen their meat not with SevenTo7. Instead of frozen their Meat they prefer to Chillin' it into -4°C. the chillin meat more give juiciness texture than in frozen one. And many Chef recommended this idea.

SevenTo7 it self has meaning their opening hours, from 7am to 7pm. Since they develop their business into a restaurant, of course the operational hours must be adapted with Dining time.

BEVERAGES
SevenTo7 have so many variants of beverages. From juice, mocktails, coffee, Ice blended you named it. Looks like SevenTo7 really try to fulfill what their customer likes.

s

What could be more better than a hot chocolate in this rainy day. The chocolate taste is just right. Tasteful 'til the last sip...

Ice Mocha Blended - IDR 29.700

No wonder this soup had become favorite soup. the taste is great. Comfort food ever.

Mix Salad - IDR 22,700

A plate of Lettuce, Tomato, Cucumber, Paprika, Corn Kernel with a choice of Balsamic Dressing or Honey Mustard.
Choose Honey Mustard if you want your salad taste a bit sweet and sour. The sweet come from the honey and the sour come from mustard. When it blend together, it become freshening. 
Choose Balsamic Dressing if you want your salad taste a bit light. The acidity come from vinegar. It makes the veggies taste great.

Mix Sausage is a 3 different varieties of sausages for your choice of chicken or beef.
At this time we had beef Bockwurst and Cocktail I like the cocktail better. The taste and the smell more smokey than t he Bockwurst. It also more rich flavor, the herbs is so tasteful and smell good. While the bockwurst taste less herbs and not smokey. But it's good too.

Lamb Chop – coming soon

Lucky me, to have a change to taste this up Coming Lamb Chop. I don't know because this Lamb Chop take too long to take a photo-shoot, the lamb texture become a bit chewy and a bit lost it juiciness. But this lamb chop really seasoned well. I paired this lamb chop with blackpepper sauce.

Come to SevenTo7 I got another knowledge about beef. The owner, Mrs Martha, sooo patient explained to us about the meat they have. And again... we got a chance to taste their best  Meat.

Matsuzaka Beef - IDR 317.700 / 100gr

Matsusaka beef is black-haired wagyū (Japanese beef). also known as Kuroge Washu or “Japanese Black”, the cattle come from the Matsusaka region of Mie, Japan. It is one of the most famous beef types within Japan and internationally, with a high fat-to-meat ratio.
 
Matsuzaka Beef is a very juicy steak. It straight melt in your mouth. It come with medium well to get a perfection. This Matsuzaka is SevenTo7 Signature dish and the most expensive one. I paired it with mushroom sauce.

Organic Beef Tenderloin - IDR 51.700/ 100gr

 The organic beef cattle are raise free from the use of synthetic hormonal growth promoters and antibiotics. It is assured that the organic chain remains intact and the diet consists of certified organic feeds and forages that have been produced under agricultural systems that exclude the use of synthetic herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers. Thus, it is a chemical free meat.

IDR 38,700/100gr Rib Eye

DESSERT
After full of meat, there always still a place for dessert...

Mango Pudding - IDR 12.700

But, unfortunately, i didn't taste any mango. the mango not too dominated the pudding. So I think the taste a bit bland.

BROWNIES SPECIAL - IDR 29,700

Brownies with fresh mango / strawberry fruit and vanilla ice cream.
A smooth brownies, not too sweet, which I like. Pour with Tia Maria Rum. Which is Jamaican Rum and Coffee. Make this brownies more rich in flavor. The mango add more freshness.
