Nasi Campur Kaca Mata

I was visiting my good friend of mine in Puri housing estate area and when come to dinner time, we were debating where to have our meal. When all of us stumble across this eatery place, I took the liberty to make an authoritative decision to eat here. Everyone agrees but at the end of my meal, I was a little bit disappointed! What matters to me most about any "Nasi Campur" is  the "Nasi Hainan" itself. The one they served here were not fragrant enough and I definitely felt that the one in Pantai Indah Kapuk branch serves better food.

Menu : Nasi Hainam Campur
Price : Rp 28,000 ++
Score : 5.75 / 10

>> The "Hainam Rice" (not shown in here) is too bland. It weren't fragrant enough and even though it tastes better than normal jasmine white rice, I still expect it to be super duper delicious. Next, the meat dish consists of barbeque pork, crispy pork belly, roast chicken and the obvious half boiled egg. I probably liked the barbeque pork most, roast chicken second and lastly the crispy pork belly. The problem with the pork belly is that it was not crispy at all and thus I can feel all the juicy fat when I bite into it. I  know many people love that part the most but personally I preferred my pork belly to be real crispy and thus the fats were rendered 'naturally' by the process.

Rumah Makan Apollo


Menu : Nasi Ayam Hainam
Price : Unknown
Score : 7.0 / 10

It was a pleasant take away that my uncle sometimes bring over to the office and gave me. I haven't ordered lunch and this was very much welcomed. I had myself ready to tuck into the dish when suddenly there was a quarrel in the office. Nevertheless, it didn't spoil my appetite. I would have to say the rice was the star of the entire dish, it was very fragrant. The combination of chicken stock and ginger smell simply made my tummy roar. The boiled chicken's soy sauce is good too! The soy sauce definitely combine harmoniously with the splash of their home made chili sauce.

May Star

I had a pleasant Thursday lunch at Maystar, Emporium Pluit Mall. I love Maystar's lunch menu, because of the "Dim Sum" they served and rice set dishes. If you go there during dinner time, you only get to order the main dishes which are also very yummy too. But however, lunch menu has more variety!!

Menu : Double Boiled Minced Pigeon in Mini Bamboo
Price : Rp 28,000 ++
Score : 6.25 / 10

>> Very calming soup and the pigeon meat is very tender and easy to chew. Ideal soup for the elders. The soup gave me an impression taste of 'tonic'. The herbs was not too strong.


Menu : Nasi Iga Babi Pedas Panggang
Price : Rp 32,800 ++
Score : 7.0 / 10

>> The honey pork is yummy, but sadly too much bones and they should provide more vegetables on the side too. The hainam rice is good and wants you to have more :)

Menu : Hakkau, Steamed Beef Ball Hong Kong Style & Siu Mai
Price : Hakkau Rp 17,800 ++, Steamed Beef Ball Rp 16,800++ & Siu Mai Rp 17,800++
Score : Average 7.5 / 10
>> All of the dim sum were very fresh; the prawns in the Hakkau & Siu Mai were succulent. The beef ball were very tender and has an unique taste too.
Menu : Steamed Scallop Clam with Minced Garlic
Price : Rp 18,000++ / piece
Score : 7.5 / 10

>> Good stuff here! I love the minced garlic sauce, even though it is a little bit over oily, I simply just love it. The scallop were fresh and very well cooked.
Menu : Shrimp and Mushroom Dumpling with Spicy Vinegar
Price : Rp 16,800++
Score : 7.5 / 10

>> I was surprised when I saw the price. I thought this was quite cheap. Apart from the good price tag, this is a definite order every time I visit Maystar at lunch time. The vinegar sauce is strong and spicy thus, I wouldn't recommend this for people who has mild pallet.
Menu : Coconut Pudding
Price : Rp 42,800 ++
Score : 8.0 / 10

>> One of the best coconut pudding in town, even better their rival Duck King's. The sweetness and the tender pudding simply melts in your mouth! Heavenly soft :)

Menu : Avocado Cream with Ice Cream
Price : Rp 18,800 ++
Score : 5.5 / 10

>> The avocado cream was actually nice, the only short coming was that, they should serve coffee ice cream instead of chocolate ice cream.
