Masakan Indonesia Favorit Gue? Ini Daftarnya!


Sebagai orang Indonesia, bukan hal yang mengherankan lagi kalau gue suka masakan Indonesia. Masakan Indonesia tuh “ngangenin” banget! Mulai dari makanan beratnya, camilannya, sampai ke minumannya! Inilah 5 masakan Indonesia favorit gue. Ayo dong, tunjukin mana makanan Indonesia favorit kamu bersama Indonesian Food Blogger serta Zomato !!

Makanan Berat


1. Nasi Pecel

Nasi Pecel Take away dari Mbok Ku!

Kalau dalam satu bulan nggak makan nasi pecel tuh rasanya ada yang kurang! Bumbu kacang yang diguyur loyal diatas tauge yang masih kriuk dan kangkung hijau segar, ditambah dengan empuknya tempe serta ayam ditemani sambal, plus bunyi “krauk” dari rempeyek atau kerupuk membuat makanan ini menjadi sangat sensasional. Asik banget deh disantap buat sarapan pagi, meskipun katanya saat sarapan nggak boleh makan nasi, hahaha!

Setelah 3 bulan tinggal di Jakarta, gue sadar kalau nasi pecel susah banget dicari disini. Beda dengan Surabaya yang nasi pecel bisa dengan mudah ditemukan dimana-mana. Mungkin tempat tinggal gue di Jakarta bukan kompleks perkumpulan nasi pecel, ya… hahaha. Melalui bantuan Zomato, gue pun hunting nasi pecel, dan menemukan satu restoran bernama Mbok Ku yang menyediakan nasi pecel. Asik, akhirnya bisa menyantap nasi pecel lagi!

2. Bebek Goreng

Bebek Telur Asin di Bebek Dower, Ajib!


Ini gue serius dan nggak bohong, bebek goreng paling enak adalah yang dijual di jalanan, alias emperan. Minyak bebek yang masih mengkilat di bagian kulitnya, serta guyuran bumbu bebek diatas nasi putih hangat, ditemani dengan sambal matah(favorit gue!), pencit, atau sambal apapun yang pedasnya bikin uh-ah kalau makan, bebek cocok banget dah dimakan untuk makan malam!

Kalau kalian menemukan masalah seperti gue (ditempat gue –sialnya– ga ada tuh tukang jual bebek emperan) kalian bisa mencoba opsi makan bebek di mall. Sepanjang hunting yang gue lakukan, bebek paling enak di mall menurut gue adalah Bebek Dower, dengan menu bebek goreng telor asinnya. Selain bebek telor asin favorit gue disini, kalian bisa mencoba menu bebek yahud lainnya, beserta aneka pilihan sambal. Mantap! 


3. Jeroan (Organ Dalam)

Rempela di Penyetan Cok

Negara mana lagi yang hobi makan jeroan dan sanggup mengelola jeroan seenak dan se-hits orang Indonesia? Mulai dari jeroan digoreng biasa, penyetan, dimasak semur, kare, bumbu rujak, uuh… mendengarnya saja sudah membuat kita menelan ludah! Olahan rempah-rempah dipadu dengan rasa jeroan yang kenyal, membuat gue suka banget makan jeroan! Yap, benar sekali! Jeroan favorit gue adalah rempela. Untuk jenis masakannya, semua jenis gue suka, asalkan itu rempela, hahahaha!

Salah satu tempat jeroan (selain masakan nyokap dan asisten dirumah) di mall yang gue suka adalah dari Penyetan Cok. Coba kalau porsinya lebih besar, ukuran rempelanya lebih besar juga, waw… punya nyokap bisa kalah nih!

Makanan Ringan / Camilan


 4. Tahu Gejrot

Tahu Gejrot di D'gejrot, Golden Truly

Gue nggak pernah terlalu suka makan tahu, terkecuali tahu gejrot. Entah mengapa, saat makan tahu gejrot yang telah dicampur aneka bumbu, cabai yang pedas, serta cara makannya yang biasa beramai-ramai (iya, gue selalu makan tahu gejrot sama orang lain supaya sensasinya lebih berasa) makanan ini jadi salah satu camilan favorit gue. Meskipun gue gak terlalu tahan dengan rasa pedas sambalnya yang kadang selangit!

Salah satu stall tahu gejrot yang rasanya wawawiwow menurut gue adalah di D'Gejrot, Golden Truly.


5. Ketan

Ketan Kelapa Susu Wijen di Ketan Pasar, Pasar Santa


Dulunya, gue sama sekali nggak suka dengan ketan. Hanya saja, nyokap gue dirumah tuh hobi banget makan ketan. Sedikit demi sedikit, seperti pepatah Jawa mengatakan “Tresna jalaran soko kulino” jadilah gue suka makan ketan, apalagi kalau dicampur dengan bubuk kelapa atau wijen. Hm, dicampur dengan kuah kacang hijau hangat juga maknyus loh!

Saat gue di Jakarta dan coba hunting kuliner di Pasar Santa, akhirnya gue menemukan tempat ketan cukup enak disini, yaitu di Ketan Pasar. Harga terjangkau, porsinya pun besar! Udah gitu, ketan disini pakai susu, jadi rasanya lebih gimanaaaa gitu!


BONUS! Minum favorit


Kalau makan mulu tanpa minum, pasti seret lah ya… dibandingkan minum soda, dan lain sebagainya, gue lebih suka nih minuman khas Indonesia, seger banget dan cocok dimakan dengan sambal pedas, nasi hangat, atau apapun lah itu jenis makanannya!

6. Es Cincau


Yak! Pemenangnya adalah es cincau. Dibuat dari daun suji alami dan bewarna hitam, es cincau ini rasanya manis, dan yang pasti segar! Gue sering banget deh order es cincau di resto-resto Indonesia. Di foto ini adalah es cincau dari Penyetan Cok, rasanya benar-benar ajib abis dan cocok untuk menemani nasi putih hangat! :D


Es Cincau dari Penyetan Cok, Seger banget deh!

Ini ceritaku, mana ceritamu? *teringat sesuatu? Iya, ini produk Indonesia favorit gue! ;)

Hahahaha! I LOVE Indonesia!

Delico Jakarta : Meals to Go with Lock N Lock Indonesia!

Delico is located in the heart of Mega Kuningan’s office complex – and to my surprise, near my old internship office – so it’s really easy to be found, plus a nice hang out / stress relieving place for employees nearby. The logo / symbol of Delico is super cute, it kinda reminds me of Harry Potter when he’s riding the broomstick. If you look closer, it’s actually a chef who’s riding his roller! A catchy logo, indeed.



THE APPETIZER


As we’re waiting for the event to start and the others to arrive, we can take our appetizer near the bakery shop area. Delico has prepared a lovely decoration that match with the whole appetizer, and the theme is like a high tea party, because they have some flowers, vase, a cake stack, and also wooden palate.It’s so cute and I could watch it all day.

P.S. The entire appetizer in this review is NOT the original size. This is the mini version and the original size is 100% and WAY BIGGER than this one. Note it, okay ? ;)


Almond Croissant 



As the wise man said, don’t judge a book by its cover. Even though the glazing is full of chocolate, the filling is vanilla crème. It taste super smooth, and the combination between the chocolate glaze, almond, and the crème is really nice! As a dessert and croissant lovers, I’m so happy to have this!

Cheese Swirl 



It looks like a mini macaroni. If you take a bite, you’ll feel like the cheese explodes in your mouth. Ah yum, so tasty! The cheese itself is cut in the form of small square, and the taste is truly rich.

Mini Burger



Who doesn’t love burger, especially when it’s served with smoked beef? This is what I called mini but maxi! It’s a complete package because it has cheese, vegetable, meat, and carbo in one bite.


Mini Open Sandwhich



Only in one shot, you can put it all in your mouth! Feel the sensation of the sauce, the beef, and also the vegetables. The bread texture is super soft!


THE SANDWHICH MAKING with LOCK N LOCK INDONESIA


After enjoying the appetizer, taking pictures around, socializing and getting to know other new people, Ci Odi from Abra Resto start to open this Brunch Session. The representative from Delico takes over and we move into the next area just beside the private room, to start the Sandwhich Making / Competition.

Surprise surprise, if you look into the next area, Lock N Lock Indonesia team has prepared all the ingredients inside Lock N Lock box on each tables provided, plus a cute green and whitebone apron (I wish I could bring it home for my mom!!) Feeling like a picnic party is going to start here!




One of the Delico’s chef explain a bit about the difference between sandwhich, and open sandwhich. Open sandwhich is actually a sandwhich, but without any bun or bread on the top. The one that we’re going to make today is the open sandwhich. Then, he continues to demonstrate on how to make your own open sandwhich. He’s super fast, and his open sandwhich looks really good!



Finish with the demonstration, each of us is assigned into a table. We’re given only 15 minutes to pack our own open sandwhich inside Lock N Lock lunch box.

PROUDLY, I present to you my open sandwhich!!

Yes it's my sandwhich!! Don't judge the look, okay? It's super tasty believe me!!

“Sandwhich Kenyang”

Base: Croissant
Sauce: Tomato & Mayonnaise Sauce (Spicy) combine with Salty Mayonnaise Sauce
Toppings: Smoked Beef, Peppenero, Mushroom, Cheese, Watercress, Tomato, Paprica, Cucumber

Okay… I know that the look is not really appealing, well, sorry to my – not so – artistic hands. Hahahaha! But believe me, because of the best ingredients used & prepared by Delico restaurant, the taste of this open sandwhich kenyang is really awesome!
It’s a perfect meal to go for busy people! It’s healthy, it’s yummy and guaranteed you’ll “kenyang!” Yes, that’s the main idea of my dish name, hahahaha.

Other participants sandwhices!


Explaining the name our dish to Abra Team & Delico

As this is a meal to go and packed inside Lock N Lock Lunch Box, all of us could take it home and enjoy it on the road! *HORRAY*




THE MAIN COURSE


Not so long until we head back into our personal meet up room, the main course is served by Delico’s team. There are two choices of the main course, spaghetti and fried rice.

Spaghetti Tuna Olio E Oglio  - IDR 44,000




I ordered a spaghetti tuna since I always prefer noodle over rice, haha! It taste good, al dente, and I love the sense of chilli spark all over my mouth. Yummy! However, I think they can show off the tuna more, for example cut it in a bigger size. It has a lot of Tuna inside, but because of the colour and the cut size, its buried inside the spaghetti.

Supreme Fried Rice – IDR 44,000



Not only just fried rice, but it is combined with shrimp, egg and “melinjo” for the toppings. To my surprise, their fried rice also has the taste of shrimp. It’s delicious and it taste new for my tounge. Uniquely delicious! The portion is also enough for boys – you know, boys do eat quite a lot, haha -


THE COFFEE TO GO


Cappuccino - IDR 32,000



For the goodbyes, Delico Café gives all of us a cup of coffee to go. I pick iced cappuccino over latte, since it has a stronger taste *for my taste* It indeed has a great taste, and perfect for the hot weather.


THE GOODIE BAG, THANKS LOCK N LOCK INDONESIA!!   


Goodie Bag – Lock N Lock Lunch Box


Trying to shoot a "Flat Lay" using the goodie bag from Lock N Lock. What do you think?

As I’ve told you before, our open sandwhich is packed inside Lock N Lock Lunch Box, and we’re allowed to bring it home so we can enjoy the sandwhich, plus keep the Lunch Box!! Wah, I’m super happy about it!
I live inside a boarding house for a while, (a.k.a #anakkos) and I really need a lunch box to pack my lunch menu or even store my biscuits and other foods, this lunch box is super useful!
Guess what? Even though you bring soups, it won’t spill if you put it inside Lock N Lock Lunch Box. The clips also design to sustain until 3 millions click! Yes, 3 millions!


THE CLOSING


Before we really close this Brunch Session, we all gathered in front of Delico and take pictures plus video together.

Overall, I really recommend Delico, especially for businessmen/woman, and employee work in office. I wish that I have Delico near my office here so that I can grab their healthy delicious Sandwhich together with cappuccino everytime!


Thanks Abra Resto, Delico, and Lock N Lock Indonesia for the wonderful brunch. As always, I enjoy my time very much and I hope to see you guys again!
