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.

We could really see how past this days there's so much gelato and ice cream traffic going around PIK. Latteria is the newest Gelato bar that open in PIK, precisely beside The Cup. You can easily notice this from the wood and black exterior and a huge sign of Latteria. So excited to find out this place, since i'm an ice cream and gelato junkie! Because since my last trip to Grom, i really want some gelato places open around near my house so i just can easily go get my gelato when i want it!


Yes, you can clearly feel the comfy out of this place because it's really well decorated and sooooooooo cozy!



And, can we admire this mural art wall? Geez, i think i have a special thing with mural art wall. I always find it as a touch up for an extra perfection! Okay enough talking, let's just see all this Gelato galore!


Did i mention that they have 20 flavors of gelato? Like really? 20? I just can't even pick 5 different flavors and yet they give me 20 options of flavors! I just can't. lol.



I don't know how they do it, but all of their flavors of gelato has unique name. Like Not So Complicated flavor, it's basically chocolate popcorn and peanut butter crunch flavor. And like Deez Nutz is basically hazelnut, chocolate, and nutella. I find it really hilarious!


For price, you get 2 scoops for IDR 38k and IDR 50k for 3 scoops. I mean, come on guys! It's not really expensive, instead it's really worth it!

Jack and Rose with Velvet Meringue: IDR 38k
Jack and rose is basically rose water and pistachio. Yes, you read that right! I can really feel the rose water and it's really good. Moreover the pistachio, it's not too sweet and balance well with the rose flavor. Velvet meringue is perfect for sweet lover like me! Basically, you can mix everything in here without thinking it's matching with this or that. All of them are perfect fit to each other!


Definitely will be go back and try more flavor! Thank you for reading!

I'm welcoming the newest soba place at Elang Laut, Jakarta Utara called Shiraku Soba. Honestly i've never tried any soba before. Then, after Abura Soba opened their outlet at PIK, that's the first time i've ever eat soba. i know i'm too late! But since Soba is becoming my new favourite food, i've wanted to try this newly opened place, hoping that it will taste the same or even better!

To be exact, Shiraku Soba located exactly beside Farmers Coffee(the newest section thirty three). To be more exact, Shiraku located at the same way like Bakmi Bintang Gading, Ron's Laboratory, Martabak Pecenongan, and many more. You'll spot it since the banner is quite big.

Shiraku isn't really big but they have 2nd floor. The 2nd floor way more spacious then the 1st floor.




So in here, we can have our own choice of our noodle, whether it is Shiro Soba or Ramen. So it's really great that we have an option to our dish!

Karai Jya Jya Soba: IDR 55.8k (may contain pork and may contain chili)
(Abura soba with minced pork served with our special spicy tan-tan tare sauce, soft boiled egg, chopped spring onions, seame seeds, dried seaweed)
Being told by the waitress that this is their recommended menu so we give it a try. In here, there's no such thing like giving the soba such as an oil and vinegar like the Abura so it might get a little dry. But, i give it an spicy oil so it's not that dry. There's a slice of chili in the chopped meat so be careful if you can't stand the hot, well this isn't for you. The soba same like i had in other place and it is really good. In here i choose the Shiro Soba, it's really well seasoning and soft.



Chicken Teriyaki Soba: IDR 48.5k
(Abura soba with special miso tare and homemade teriyaki sauce, served with boiled egg, chopped spring onions, sesame seeds, dried seaweed, and grilled marinated chicken thigh)
Decided to have some chicken in our soba so we try this out. The chicken is really tender and quite soft, no complain here! Really well seasoning and i love how the teriyaki sauce taste. To even spice things up, i even pouring some chilli to the soba. It's indeed good!


Chasu Don: IDR 38.5k
(Slices of roast pork marinated in special sauce on top of a bowl of steamed rice, served with sunny side up egg, chopped spring onions, sesame seeds, dried seaweed)
The pork is really tender and quite good with the sauce. It's really perfect to paired with steamed rice. This could be all my day lunch!




Buta Tan-Tan Soba: IDR 55.8k
(Abura soba with special shoyu and tan-tan tare, served with soft boiled egg, chopped spring onions, sesame seeds, dried seaweed, and slices of tender roast pork)
My friend had an issue with this, like what i saying, the noodle might get really dry and my friend didn't want to have some chili oil so when you eat it it's really dry like sahara, my friend really did not enjoy her dish. But the pork is really tender thought.


Iced Matcha Avocado (Served with cookie glass) : IDR 38.5k
Have you ever seen a cookie glass? Well you can now simply enjoy your drink in this cookie glass. So i will pouring the cookie glass with the matcha avocado. For the matcha avocado, it's not really well mixing and there's something odd about this drink. But it's not i didn't like it but i think this isn't for me. But, there's some chocolate in it, so you chew the chocolate while you drink it, genius!





If you have a dry soba like my friend have, just pour some oil and stir it up, it will get a little wet after it and you can enjoy it. It's a matter of preference actually. For me, i'll actually go to this place again because i enjoy it, but i don't think my friend would come again. But, pricewise it's really affordable and tastewise really great.

Goodbye fatty belly!

So many option for the slices cake they offer, they have Matcha, Nutella Peanut Butter, Ovomaltine, Red velvet, Choco cheese, Tiramisu, Mud cake and many else!! So many right?

Ovomaltine: IDR 35k
If you're following me on instagram, you can see that i make an ovomaltine toast, cause lately i've been craving for sweet and ovomaltine is the answer!

Back to main topic, so yes, i ordered the ovomaltine with a high expectation, because what could go wrong with using ovomaltine in a cake? But, i was wrong. The ovomaltine wasn't there. I can't taste any ovomaltine at all, i would name this as a usual chocolate that you can bought at another cakeshop.



Choco Cheese: IDR 35k

Ordered this because usually never could go wrong with Chocolate and Cheese! But.....another dissapointment happen. I ask my friend if there's something wrong with the cheese becaue it's so sour or it's just my tounge. But my friend feel the same about the cake so yeah...big no for me. But the bottom chocolate layer is fine for me.. i guess.



Tiramisu: IDR 30k

When i look at the cake and decided what to order, then this tiramisu came up and i just so startruck by it! I have a good feeling about this and..yes, i was right! The layer is so moist and you can really taste it as a sponge cake cause it's so soft and the cream not too sweet just perfect! And the whipcream on top? super love!


Behind the cake you can see my friend pouring down the tea. They have various flavor tea to offer by TWG Tea. So this place is really places to hangout with your friend for afternoon tea and cakes!

Kinda dissapointed with the ovomaltine because the it wasn't taste at all close to ovomaltine, and the choco cheese? No, thanks. But the tiramisu? Oh yes!! But this is really a good place to go with your friend.
