Cerita Kuliner La Crêperie @ PIK - nuraisya blog

Please do forgive me first for the latepost, a lot had happened at the end of 2014. From my vacation to Garut and Bandung, hearing the sad news that my dearest uncle passed away and I need to fly to Medan for his funeral and so on. So here I am writing with excuses (bad habit Novi...), anyway let me continue with the review. I will take you to La Crêperie, a small French restaurant located at PIK that famous for the crepes and ciders. 

The restaurant itself consists of outdoor and indoor seats, when it come to Jakarta especially PIK's dry and hot weather I prefer to sit inside. Love all the murals done here, really make you feel as if you're in the middle city of Paris sipping and enjoying your drink while chatting with your friends. 

Inner part of the resto, forgive me for not taking the picture for the outdoor part

Not prolong it any longer, let's start our feast. Probably many of you are confused when reading the menu since a lot of them came in French like Galette, Poulet and many more that immediately bring back funny moments when me and my friends ordering food in Paris couple years before. Lucky here you have the waiter who can translate and explain them when you ordering. And here are some of them... 

Hungry people can't wait

Breakfast Galette

IDR 59.000

One of savoury crêperies, this one consists of the galette (buckwheat pancake), mixed salad, egg, chicken and boiled spinach. A healthy breakfast I say.

Tiramisu Flambé Crepe

IDR 55.000

Another from crêperies collection, just like its name this sweet crepe along with the tiramisu ice cream on top cooked with flambé technique. As soon as it served, liquor poured on it to create flame that's why it called flambé which mean flamed in French. Quite an attraction to watch and tasty too, a must try!

Poulet Aglio

IDR 86.000

Poulet or chicken in French combined with aglio olio pasta, what can be more perfect than this. First aglio olio always been my favorite, next the chicken, diced potatoes, broccolis cooked and blended well. My pick main course!

Peanut Butter Burger

IDR 56.500

If you're looking for something different you should try this dish. The burger came with beef patty and bacons poured with peanut butter, maybe odd at first bite but you'll back for more and more bites just like I did. Served together with french fries and mixed salad.

Cheese French Fries

IDR 59.000

Perfect snack to forget about my diet, too good to resist. French fries with melted cheese, bacon slices and a sunny side up on top of it. Totally my pick!

Croquette

IDR 36.000

Another good snacking, croquettes with melted cheese filling and a dip sauce. I looove these small round balls. Too bad we have to shared, one sure is not enough.

Calamari served with tartar sauce

IDR 39.000

There's nothing to describe more about this, just like the name it's calamari accompanied with tartar sauce.

Our Welcome Drink

Strawerry Mojito

IDR 30.500

La Creperie's Punch

IDR 31.500

My choice of drink that day. One of the thirst quenchers collection, perfect sweetness a total refreshment.

Blue & Red Mojito

IDR 30.500

Nutella Frappe

IDR 43.000

This one is a must try, as far as I know no one can't resist nutella's charm. As a chocolate and nutella's fan this taste heaven!

Hot Dutch Chocolate

IDR 32.000

Elderflower Flute (900 ml)

IDR 115.000 / bottle (up to 10 cups)

As I mention before another speciality here is the cider. Served in a big flute bottle, you can see the serving steps at the picture above (clockwise from upper left), refreshing both came from the cider and the fresh fruits. For whose on a diet, drinking this after a big meal is a good option to burn the fat.

My favorite mural "Alley Cat", did I just name it? No, there's no specific title to that actually.
The silent witness for our feast that day.

Okay, that's all I can share about La Crêperie. Overall it's a good place to hangout with good food and a lot choices of drinks. So, don't hesitate to come and try your own experiences here. See you soon ^.^

Well, I think it's not fair just promoting their new menus without tasting them. Let's scroll and roll to find out more...

FOOD

Salmon Miso Soup (Nabemono)

IDR 68.000

One of the "nabemono" or hot pot dishes, consist of nori, mushroom, carrot and of course salmon cooked with miso soup. My order that afternoon, the taste probably not as extravagant as the other dishes but I like it. The thick miso seasoning within the soup bring up the Japanese taste to the juicy salmon and other ingredients in it.

Nabeyaki Udon

IDR 68.000

Just catch a glimpse about this hot pot, the look quite promising. I didn't have the chance to taste it, but I put it here anyway to add more nabemono options for you.

Premium Saikoro Steak with Rice

IDR 68.000

Next from ala carte menu, Premium Saikoro Steak with a bowl of steamed rice. Saikoro steak a common dish from Japan, tenderloin cut in cubes pan fried with cashew nuts in a high flame. Yum... yum... I mean who doesn't like tenderloin steak.

Ten Ten Signature Stone Rice

IDR 68.000

This one is a must try if this your first visit to Ten Ten. Japanese mixed rice with ebi sakura topped with grilled fish, ebi tempura and squid. There's nothing more to describe this dish than completely delicious.

Tori Momo Stone Rice

IDR 58.000

Another stone rice collection, tori momo. Grilled chicken with special sauce and edamame on top of the steamed rice in a stone bowl to maintain the heat. This one is unexpectedly GOOD, ohhh don't forget to mix before you eat!

Salmon Ohba Pesto Stone Rice

IDR 68.000

Salmon with ohba pesto sauce on rice, garnished with nori slices, sweet corn and baby tomatoes. Pesto sauce at Ten Ten modified using ohba leaves instead of basil that commonly used in Italy, the origin country of pesto. Mix mix mix...

Cheese Beef Hamburg with Rice
IDR 62.000

One of my fave, minced meat with mozzarella cheese within it and stir fried vegetables served on a hot plate. As soon as you cut the meat you'll notice that sticky gooey cheesy juicy beef must be delicious, and it sure does!

Grilled Fish Ohba Cream Sauce with Rice (Salmon)

IDR 68.000

This one taste quite unique, if you like herbs this should be in your picked list. Grilled fish (you can choose between salmon or red snapper) cooked with Ohba cream sauce, enoki and mushroom then garnished with nori slices.

Premium Saikoro Ramen

IDR 68.000

Noodle cooked with ohba pesto topped with premium saikoro steak and sprinkle of cashew nut slices. My friend's order, they claimed this dish is extremely tasty.

DESSERTS

Matcha Lava Cake

IDR 28.000

Lava cake in matcha flavor with red beans sauce on top. For green tea lover this cake would be a dear. Served with a scoop of matcha ice cream to balance the sweet matcha filling from the cake. Eat them together and it just perfect!

Red Velvet Lava Cake

IDR 28.000

Red velvet lava cake, another variation from lava cakes collection. There are three of them, red velvet, matcha and chocolate, each of them accompanied with a scoop of ice cream.

Red Velvet Cream Cheese Ice Cream (hot plate dessert)

IDR 32.000

Woohoo this is my favorite dessert! The red velvet cake on a hot plate and ice cream on top then poured with cream sauce. You can pour the sauce on your own or let the waitress do the dirty work, just kidding this is fun. Bottom of the cake will become more crunchy and tastier due to the hot plate, cold on top and hot at the bottom. A perfect combination for a great taste, two thumbs up! There's two other hot plate dessert combination, Cheese Pound Cake Matcha Ice Cream and Brownies Chocolate Ice Cream.

Fruit Kakigori

IDR 32.000

Vanilla shaved ice with fruit toppings and mango sauce. Another yummy treat for those looking for refreshing dessert. The shaved ice so moist almost just like ice cream and the sauce is superb.
