Kaihomaru: Crispy Baby Shrimps for Lunch
The ground floor and the first floor of our office building – Citiloft/Citiwalk Sudirman – are dedicated for cafes and restaurants. More than twenty eating places serving lunch everyday. But every day we are still struggling in deciding which restaurant to eat.
Kaihomaru, a Japanese Restaurant, on the 1st floor is the solution that we always take, when we don’t know which one to go. The dishes are light, yet satisfying. My favorites are shibaebi karaage (crispy baby shrimps) and sake onigiri (salmon rice ball)

The Grill: Never Fail
The Grill had been one of our favorite restaurants for several years. Since its location only two minutes walk from our office, it had been the venue for many celebrations, such as friends birthdays, our team’s special achievements or accomplishment, and reunions. Sometimes, it was just a place to eat a really good food. The food never failed us. If it wasn’t a bit pricey, maybe I would have gone there every week.

Ebaya: For a Special Occasion
To celebrate our 22nd anniversary on 11-11-11, I and my husband – just the two of us – had dinner at Ebaya at the Ritz Carlton, Pacific Place. As recommended by our waitress, we chose Cattleya Dinner Set, consisted of many beautiful dishes cooked directly in front of us. Watching our cook’s performance, I understood why cooking was considered as art.

3 Seconds Bar: Shabu Kurang Bumbu
Konsep Restoran Shabu berbentuk bar ini sebenarnya lumayan unik. Apalagi di lingkungan kantor yang kadang mengharuskan kita untuk makan siang sendiri. Biasanya restoran Jepang yang berbentuk bar ini hanya menyajikan sushi dan yakitori.
Sayangnya, kuah shabu-nya hambar. Kuahnya memang sengaja dibuat plain – hanya mengandalkan kaldu ayam – sementara racikannya terserah pengunjung. Hampir di semua restoran Shabu, kita memang harus menambahkan bumbu sesuai keinginan kita, tapi kuah dasarnya sudah mantap. Jadi sesedikit atau sebanyak apa pun tambahan yang kita masukkan, rasanya sudah OK.
Naa.. untuk orang-orang kayak saya – yang tidak mahir menakar bumbu – rasa makanan jadi runyam. Saya sudah dibantu oleh pelayan untuk mempersiapkan kuahnya, tapi rasanya malah semakin hancur. Seperti kuah bakso kebanyakan kecap.

Uchiko: Ten-Course Chef’s Daily Tasting Menu
Pingin tahu apa yang istimewa di restoran ini, kami sengaja tidak memilih sendiri makanan yang kami pesan. Kami menyerahkannya kepada Christopher, waiter kami malam itu. Chris menyarankan OMAKASE, 10 makanan pilihan chef. Biasanya makanan ini dihidangkan untuk 2 orang. Mendengar 10 macam makanan, rombongan kami yang terdiri 6 orang memutuskan untuk memesan 2 Omakase saja, nanti kalau kurang ditambah disana sini. Ternyata pilihan Chris OK sekali. Untuk informasi, 1 set Omakase harganya $ 184.
