Korean Groceries at Mu Gung Hwa Jakarta

Korean food has became as famous as Japanese cuisine over the last decade. It is yummy yet easy enough to prepare. And here's a Korean supermarket in Jakarta for you to check out if you want to whip up some nice korean dishes at home or get some korean snacks.

MGH (Mu Gung Hwa) appparently a supplier of korean groceries here in Jakarta, have their own stores around Jakarta. I went to the one at Jl. Senayan (it's not at Senayan though! Nearer to Senopati) which is the nearest to me.

In the midst of couple of housing estates.
You can find korean frozen food, as well as fresh ingredients that are used in Korean dishes.

Stocked up on my korean ramen, pepper paste, etc.


They also sell poultry and beef which looked relatively fresh, better than some Daily supermarkets. There's also a section where one could get fresh rice cakes and homemade kimchi/radish/etc. Be warned to check the prices before you head to the cashier; while most are reasonably priced,  some imported items seemed to be overly expensive. I bought a can of luncheon meat for 60,000 (bout 6usd)...really expensive for luncheon meat!

A small korean eatery is also connected to the supermarket which I spied some korean families having their meals there. I made a mental note that I would return to try. Haven't you heard a saying that if you can find the nationality of the cuisine having their meals in the restaurant, the place would probably be quite good.

Don't be confused with the address, the shop is not at Senayan!


























If I were you, I would also drop by Indoguna Meat Shop for some fresh cuts of imported beef and salmon, it is only a short drive away. You may read my earlier post on Indoguna here.

Ikkousha Japanese Ramen in Jakarta

We were craving for something soupy the other day; Indonesian food is mostly fried. We decided to check out the ramen store- Ikkousha. We went to the branch in Senayan City but they have couple of outletsIt is supposed to be a franchise from renowned ramen chain in Japan. I was feeling a bit skeptical of halal ramen-  you know great ramen broth is usually stewed from pork bones. The ambience is pretty nice and its attempt to make it look japanese is not bad. Miso Ramen Some spicy egg broth ramen, surprisingly tasty! Chicken Karage The outcome? I was surprised that it was pretty good! Of course it lacks the oomfph of the usual thick pork broth but they got the taste as well as the ramen right. I found the spicy egg broth really delicious and satiable to my soup craving; it's quite spicy though. The prices are also reasonable, costing about 80,000IDR (8USD) per bowl. Since we live only couple minutes away, we will definitely be coming back here quite regula...

Weekend brunch: Tana Merah Coffee Shop, Jakarta

My Indonesian girlfriend and I decided to check out this cafe- Tana Merah Coffee Shop for brunch last Saturday. Tana Merah Coffee Shop is located near Thamrin City amongst a row of shophouses. It is quite hard to find if you are going there for the first time. Just give the cafe a call (like we did) and they will give you or your driver precise directions to the cafe. This post will have lots of foodporn! Yay! For once, I made a conscious effort to take pictures of the food before digging into it. The reason I can't be a food blogger (despite I am such a foodie!) is that I can barely have the discipline to take pictures of all the delicious yummy dishes before I already poked one of my utensils in. Upon entering the cafe. Situated amonst a row of shophouses. I eyed the next table's order and the sandwiches looked great so I decided to order one for myself. My friend went for the french toast. The food presentation (for Jakarta standards) was pretty good and th...

Eat@Bali: Potato Head Beach Club at Seminyak

Our friends were telling us to visit Potato Head Garage when they learnt that we were visiting Bali; the food bloggers are also raving about this place in their blogs...so we decided to check it out. Arriving ten minutes prior to Potato Head's opening hour at 11am, we were refused by the security as well as the restaurant staff to enter the restaurant. I was trying to explain that we have a toddler who was very flushed from the heat and that we would just like to take a seat in the restaurant till they can take our orders at 11am...which is like 10 minutes away... No, we can't take a seat at the restaurant while we wait and the staff wanted us (G, a pregnant woman and a young toddler) to stand under the scorching hot sun for 10 minutes until the magical clock strikes 11am. The chairs, which were in the shade were just couple steps away, and NO..WE HAVE TO STAND UNDER THE SUN WHILE WE WAIT FOR THE MAGICAL OPENING HOUR.   I thought it was pretty ridiculous. I asked fo...
