Cheese Curry Baked Rice: IDR 50k
Japanese curry rice baked with 4 cheese sauce. Choice of chicken or fish popcorn.
At first glance when it arrive in my table, i thought i ordered a wrong dish, cause it's kinda look like fried rice; it kinda does taste like fried rice to be honest. The cheese and baked rice is dynamic duo, it taste good in my opinion since i'm not really a fan of cheese.



Laksa Singapore: IDR 45k
Singaporean style of a combination of udon in a prawn soup with fish cake, tofu, bean sprout and hard boiled egg.
If you love laksa, you should try their laksa for your meal. The prawn broth is really thick and i think choosing udon for laksa is pretty smart choice. It served with big prawn and really nice of fish cake.




Grilled Chicken with Sambal Matah: IDR 45k
Fragrant kaffir lime rice with perfectly grilled chicken, authentic sambal matah and sunny side up.
Yeah as we all know, sambal matah has a very special place in our heart. and what could go wrong with chicken and sambal matah? they're sambal matah is really unique by adding garlic to their matah. and choosing fragrant rice instead of rice is really making the grilled chicken and sambal matah itself more kicking my tastebud



Overall, yes i would go this place again cause their place and their food is amazing. Beside, the price of their food is pretty affordable. And it's a good place for taking your OOTD picts!

Opening Hours: 

Just yesterday i went to this place called Bari-Uma Ramen located at Lippo Mall Puri. Bari-Uma Ramen is originally came all the way from Hiroshima, Japan. In Indonesia it self, their first outlet is the one at Citywalk Sudirman, and the other outlet is at Setiabudi. Their Lippo Mall Puri outlet not too spacious but sure it's comfortable enough to sit and enjoy your soup of ramen. It can hold up to 50-60 people at the same time. Their interior got the ambience of japanese caligraphy and hanging light so it's not feel like the place is that small.


Bari-Uma is a little bit different with other ramen house. While others came with a modern taste and modern flavor, they keep it original and serving tradionally. But, i'm not going to talk about their ramen. I'm going to talk about their newest menu called Abura Soba.

Well, for some people might quite know about this Abura Soba dish. Abura Soba is sort of like soupless ramen, and taste identically like the soup one. So Bari-Uma having this Abura Soba menu from 1 October - 31 December. So, it's limited and it won't be last any longer. Their choice of Abura Soba menu are: Torotama Abura Soba (Pork), Torotama Abura Soba (Chicken), Torotama Abura Kara Soba (Pork), Torotama Abura Kara Soba (Chicken).



Torotama Abura Soba (Pork): IDR 64k
"Nori" Seaweed, "Torotama" Simmering Egg, "Shiraga Negi" White Spring Onion, "Kyuri" Japanese Cucumber, Home Made Chasiu and Ramen.




Torotama Abura Soba (Chicken): IDR 64k
"Nori" Seaweed, "Torotama" Simmering Egg, "Shiraga Negi" White Spring Onion, "Kyuri" Japanese Cucumber, Home Made Chicken, and Ramen.



So, i thought because their name is Abura Soba, so they will use a Soba noodle. Turns out i was wrong, they use a thin ramen noodle. Which is great because it's different with other Abura Soba places. This is the Original version of their Abura Soba. What they say is right, it taste really traditional and they really keep it simple with this dish. It's really good. Both Chicken and Pork meat is tender and juicy. Came with a big portion. I love how they cook their ramen, it's not too hard but not too soft. When all of them are mixing together, it's just makes a perfect Abura Soba. The waitress say you have to mix 10 times to have a perfect Soba on your own.

Torotama Abura Kara Soba (Pork): IDR 69k





Torotama Abura Kara Soba (Chicken): IDR 69k
"Nori" Seaweed, "Torotama" Simmering Egg, "Shiraga Negi" White Spring Onion, "Kyuri" Japanese Cucumber, Home Made Chicken, Kara Sauce, and Ramen.



So, the different between Torotama Abura Soba and Torotama Abura Kara Soba are while Torotama Abura Soba is using original flavor, Torotama Abura Kara Soba will give you a kick of spicy in your mouth. Because in Japan, Kara means spicy. I really love the kind of spicy their using here, it's really kicking your tastebud. But, i get overwhelmed when i ate this because it's too spicy. Don't judge me but i really, really, love spicy food. But after i get use to the spicy, it's became normal for me. Again, the portion they serve here is really big. Both Pork and Chicken meat is really tender and super juicy. Not too oily which is good, because it can makes your tongue feel greasy.

Overall, i really love thei Abura Soba here. It's different with what i usually ate at other places. You guys all need to give it a try for this Abura Soba because it really is super good!

I tought korean food will be soon gone away since it's already 2016. Because there's no such everlasting thing in food world, especially in indonesia. But i see a lot of korean restaurant newly open in 2016, especially in jakarta area. This is the newest joint korean food at PIK, Jakarta Utara called Noodle King. If you notice Shirokuma, you will notice Noodle King too because Noodle King just beside Shirokuma.


I was kinda expecting they sell like samgyeopsal or something grilled but i don't find it in here. Because as it's name, it's called Noodle King, so i guess they're mastered at noodle only. From outside, you will think that noodle king is a small place, but on the inside, this place have a big space.


I feel really cozy to eat in here because they provide nice chair and large table. And more important that space dining table between other dining table is wide enough so you can enjoy your food with your friend without anything interrupt you.


Really nice that they have dummy food on the centre of the room. I'm such a confuse person when i order something. Because i want to be so sure what i order, what do they look like, how big the portion is, etc and they provide it!


From the menu itself, it's dominant with many kind of noodle, from hot noodle to cold noodle (yes, actual cold noodle!) and other foods are like sweet and sour chicken, fried prawn mayonnaise, and of course all of them name in korea but i just forget how to spell it... Okay, i don't know what it's called! So just move on to my review, lol.


Jjajangmyeon: IDR 55.2k
(steamed noodle with sweet flavoured black bean paste)
From what they explained, they use freshly noodle everyday and it's homemade. The noodle texture kind of like pasta, it's chewy and fresh.

So, about this food. This is like what's everyone (including ALL of my friends) raving about. They talk about it like it's so good and stuff. And i'm here like, "this is not truly for me". I'm not hating it or liking it. The first one i ordered is kinda cold, so i think the taste is like gone too so i ordered another one. And yes, the flavor still the same. It's just me that don't like kind of this food. It's really weird since i love sweet food, like i will literaly pour sweet soy souce into every dish but i don't like this. But i think i can just judge it just by my perspective. You need to try this and prove me wrong!

In flavor wise, i really feel the texture of bean paste, and the meat. Oh, did i mention they using pork in this food? So it's not halal guys. This food is for 1-2 person.


This is just another decent deep fried shrimp. I think it's too much flour and i can't barely feel the shrimp inside of it. But you got a big portion in here. I think their concept is for food sharing not for 1 person only.


Cheese Buldak: IDR 84.9k
(Grilled chicken in spicy korean sauce, topped with melting cheese)
Guys, seriously i can't even this is so good i don't even know where to start! Okay first of all, the chicken is so tender and so well marinated with korean sauce. Then you get the cheese that's melted all over the chicken. It is so good! But i think it's kind of a little bit rip off since it's kinda pricey. But it's for sharing too, up to 2-3 person. By all of that, this is my recommended menu! Definitely worth to try.
