The Sari Rasa Group<\/strong> that has been successful with several restaurant brands such as Sate Khas Senayan<\/strong> and Tesate<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> Restaurant<\/strong> now presents a new brand named 1945 Restaurant<\/strong>. Located on the 3rd floor of Fairmont Hotel Jakarta<\/strong>, they transform most of the popular and traditional Indonesian dishes<\/strong> to a whole new level to give visitors a different dining experience. 1945 Restaurant<\/strong> uses the premium quality natural ingredients combine with modern cooking techniques to deliver quality and convenience to visitors who truly cares about what they eat. And I like the idea and how they separate each area in the 1945 Restaurant<\/strong> into several different functions. Scroll down to see more of lovely pictures in 1945 Restaurant<\/strong>.

\"Modern<\/a> \"Bar<\/a><\/p>\n

When we stepped into the restaurant, we were welcome to sit in the Lounge area<\/strong> that decorated with lots of minimalist sofas in bright red color. There is also a Bar area<\/strong> in the same area but with different look and feel. The Bar area<\/strong> is decorated with lots of pretty and fresh jasmine flowers that aligned with lots of red candles on top of the table. It’s so beautiful! As a result, both areas create a bold and dramatic ambiance yet comfortable, chic and modern. Right next to it, there is a fine-dining area that looks so neat and elegant. Each table was decorated with sprinkles of beautiful roses and a set of stationary with special customization, such as the 1945 logo<\/strong> on the pen and paper that’s available. How nice! \"Dining<\/a> \"Custom<\/a>\"Details<\/a><\/p>\n

1945 Restaurant<\/strong> serves a variety of unique drinks at the Lounge area<\/strong> while we wait until other guests arrived. Not only the name but the combination of flavors of these drinks was also unique. There was Teleng Punch<\/strong>, which made of Bunga Teleng<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>, Asam Jawa Punch<\/strong>, and some others, but the Vanilla Jasmine Tea<\/strong> became my favorite. A combination of jasmine tea with a vanilla flavor that was not too sweet, tasted so refreshing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All foods are divided into five different categories, such as snacks (Jajanan), appetizers, fried rice, main course, and dessert. I got a chance to try most of the dishes on the menu at this special event that was held exclusively before the restaurant opened to the public. So, here I am, I want to share everything with you in this post. \ud83d\ude42
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

We started from the snack section (jajanan<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>)<\/strong>, where they served us with Assorted Satay<\/strong> presented in a unique ceramic bowl containing hot charcoal at the bottom.\u00a0Of the three options, the Chicken Oyster<\/strong>, and the Lamb Tenderloin<\/strong> became our most favorite Satay<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>. All the meat was very tender, and it’s because of the Satay Seasoning that tasted special too. Unfortunately, the Wagyu Beef<\/strong> Satay was less tender at that time, unlike the other two. I was curious about the Oyster name on the menu; why they called it Chicken Oyster<\/strong>? I finally found out the reason when one of the waiters explained that for the Chicken Satay, they use a special part in a chicken body called oyster<\/em>. It explains why the texture of the chicken meat is different than in general.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Besides Satay<\/strong>, I also enjoyed the appetizer menu, named Foie Gras Duck Timlo.<\/strong> It consisted of vermicelli, poached duck egg, pan-seared duck breast, a spring roll stuffed with minced duck meat, and Foie Gras, served with a light savory duck broth on the side. For me, the soft and brown Foie Gras was the best part of this dish. Rich and creamy flavor, almost melt in my mouth, so tasty!
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Foie<\/a><\/p>\n

All fried rice served in large portions, and Nasi Goreng Wagyu<\/strong> easily became my most favorite fried rice when compared with the Nasi<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> Goreng Kampung<\/strong> at that time. The Wagyu Fried Rice<\/strong> tasted pretty unique because it is made from a combination of brown rice and white rice, served with tender chunks of Wagyu beef. Not only that, but the spicy sensation and fragrant aroma of terasi<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> shrimp paste was<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> very tempting. If you like a traditional fried rice that dominated with sweet flavor, then you should try the Nasi Goreng Kampung<\/strong>.

Now, let’s go to the main menu. When you see this, you may already be familiar with some of the foods I mentioned below; Rujak Chicken, Crispy Duck, Steak, Tongseng Kambing, and Rendang. Yes, 1945 Restaurant<\/strong> brought some of these popular dishes in Indonesia to a higher level. Although the flavor of the food may no longer authentic, the combinations and blend of strong spices transform all these dishes to a fine-dining level with exquisite flavors and can be accepted by society. We tried a mouth-watering array of Tongseng Lamb Chop<\/strong>, Wagyu Di<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> Rendang<\/strong>, Marbling Steak 78<\/strong>, Duck Galangal<\/strong>, and Rujak Chicken<\/strong>. All the food really impressed me, especially the Marbling Steak 78<\/strong>! The Wagyu Steak was grilled with 1945 soy base barbecue sauce, the meat was incredibly tender and juicy! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Lamb<\/a>\"Duck<\/a><\/p>\n

Last but not least, desserts! Yay<\/span><\/span><\/span>! There’s no better way to end those meal above than with a decadent cream souffle wrapped around a frozen srikaya<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> center, served with <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>pandan<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>-flavored glutinous rice. Oh my gosh, the Frozen Srikaya Souffle<\/strong> was absolutely delicious! You have to try it!! The Nastar Cake<\/strong> was also my favorite! Both of these desserts will certainly not disappoint any sweet tooth out there. If you love fermented tape<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>, you might like the Tape Cheesecake<\/strong>. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
