Ya Udah Bistro at Menteng, Jakarta

This time around Tuko went for a tummy's nature call. The place visited this time is Ya Udah Bistro, which is located at Gondangdia, Jakarta Pusat. Just from the outer look is already very unique. You simply can't find any name. Tuko even was a little bit confused and had to make a stop to ask the parking guy whether is this really the place.

So after confirming this is the one, Tuko went in and the place is just so simple. Tuko expected to be mind blowing too. But it's not. Tuko will even consider this as sucks actually. It's dark, no signage, arrangement of tables, show cabinets, bbq oven, etc are just so wrong.

Well since Tuko's already here, so better order up something and try. So Tuko ordered The Meat Eater's Delight, as recommended by the waiter. And also for the drink Tuko go for Thai Gold Tea.

This Meat Eater's Delight really up to it's name. There's 4 different types of meat here. Bacon, Beef, and Chicken. So considering there's pork, that means this is a non halal food.

The beef is rather too dry. Tuko likes the barbeque chicken though. The bacon is too soft and gooey. The other chicken is kind of just a side dish maybe they think? Because the size is so small compare to the others.

The sauce is rather interesting. Tuko can't figure out what kind of sauce that is. It's salty but yet also sweet. To savor the taste, Tuko didn't use any chili or tabasco. The actual side dishes which are potato and the colesaw are just normal. Nothing special to mention.

Overall the food is interesting. The menu is also full of intriguing names that make you want to try them. If only that Tuko's hungry or with bunch of friends, to order everything will be great.

  







The Meat Eater's Delight is IDR71,819 or around USD5.70. Thai Gold Tea is IDR16,364 or around USD1.30. There's 10% tax. No service charge.

So after all is finished. Tuko certainly will visit this place some other time. Not anytime soon though. The food is good, the waiter is good, but unfortunately the place sucks. The parking area is also very small which makes you have to park by the street and walk down to the restaurant.
