Local Steak House: Super Steak

It was one of those days; when we didn't feel like dressing up for dinner however too lazy to cook at home so we decided to check Super Steak out. I have been wanting to try this highly raved (by local bloggers) Steak House for a while- mostly out of curiosity and also for the experience.

You see, Super Steak is literally a Steak House... A house that serves steaks. The owner is selling grilled steaks right at his front porch of his home. The menu serves 3 types of beef and cuts- Angus(Imported) , Black Angus(Imported) and Local Beef; Sirloin, Ribeye and Tenderloin. Do not attempt to go there if you don't take beef as it is the only type of meat on the menu.

G had the Black Angus Sirloin(200g) with butter garlic sauce.

I decided to go for the Black Angus Ribeye(200g) with Cajun seasoning.

Small yet bustling throughout the evening.

I found the choices of seasonings or sauces most interesting as it is definitely not your mainstream type of sauces which you usually find in western restaurants. There are flavourings like Butter Garlic, Beerloin, Cajun, and five other more options to choose from.

We found the steaks to be only slightly above average, definitely not anything mind-blowing; although we understand why the local Indonesians like it so much, the meats are very well-seasoned and savoury (enveloped by whichever seasoning you chose). Whereas if you like to taste the natural sweetness of your steak, you will not enjoy the steaks here as much.

We thought the ambience could be better improved, but perhaps the locals and Australians dig it because of how laidback it is- like having a barbecue at one's backyard. Also, beware of mosquitos swarming around your legs.

The price is at no means cheap either, it costed an average of 200,000rp (~20usd) per person without alcohol. One could top up couple more dollars and have a steak in place with a nicer ambience. However I would still encourage one who's really bored of the usual dining options to give it try for a a different experience. Go with couple of friends whom you can have beers along with steak. :)

Manicure/Pedicure In Jakarta and Where to Go

I don't know if I am being overly critical or just plain fussy but I find that manicure and pedicure services in Jakarta are not up to par as compared to the other Asian cities like Bangkok, HongKong, and even Singapore! And by all means, the services aren't cheap as compared to overall standard of living locally. To have manicure/pedicure at somewhat a decent place with clean tools usually starts at 220,000 idr (22usd)...and you are not guaranteed OPI or internationally known brands. Nail salons at shopping malls will set you back about 450,000idr (45usd/52sgd)- funny how manicure in Jakarta cost the same in Singapore. Whoever said Jakarta is cheap?! Once, I accompanied my friend to a salon at Kemang where she wanted to have a hairwash and blowdry and I decided to have a manicure/pedicure there while waiting for her. The girl/manicurist came with a large plastic container (like the ones you store miscellaneous stuff in the wardrobe/storeroom) and inside it, the tools and ...

Prenatal Massage at Mom N Jo

The joys of pregnancy does not just stop at morning sickness. 2nd trimester arrives and say hello to Mr Backache! Oh you didn't experience either morning sickness nor backaches? Go away! You shouldn't even be reading this post..Just kidding! On a more serious note, most pregnant women like myself will start to feel aches around the body once 2nd trimester hits. The increased weight from the belly adds more pressure to our backs as well as legs, hence the aches begin. And for me, the need to gag into the toilet bowl at least twice a day causes my neck and shoulders to ache too. Yes I know, I feel like I've aged fifty years being pregnant. However as much as we need the comforts of a massage, one can't just step into any massage place now. Firstly we can't lie face down anymore...duh! Hence we need massages that are tailored for us while we lie sideways which means options are kind of limited. I decided to check with my good friend once again, Mr Google and ta...

Kado- Yakitori Restaurant at Intercontinental Hotel MidPlaza Jakarta

I had a huge Yakitori craving last week, and my friends suggested me to check out Kado at Intercontinental Hotel MidPlaza. Kado is apparently quite very famous for Yakitori in Jakarta and very popular with the Japanese travellers and expats. Hubby G and I had already tried couple of Yakitori places in Jakarta however we only found them pretty average; we certainly hoped Kado would be ' the Yakitori place' to go to. Tucked at a corner of the basement of Intercontinental Hotel Midplaza. Located at the basement of Intercontinental Hotel MidPlaza, Kado wasn't what I had expected of a restaurant in a hotel. It looks like a family-run Japanese eatery(though belonging a chain of restaurants), unassuming and easily missed- definitely not your usual high end intimidating hotel restaurants. This place is good for anyone who just want to come casually dressed and enjoy an easy evening with family and friends. The manager/chef is a very friendly Japanese lady and almost a...
