DINING WITH THE STAR - RASA RESTAURANT AND BLUE TERRACE AT AYANA JAKARTA

Dining with the Star series is coming to an end and it would be a sad parting for me as I have been pampered with such mind blowing culinary experience every time I come! Ayana Jakarta has proven themselves to deliver the best as they have 2 venues: Rasa Restaurant with True Aussie's beef and Blue Terrace for its lamb selection! Let's start with Rasa!

AUS WAGYU SHIN SHANK IDR 298.000++

Truffle sauce, baby lobster and celeriac puree

The appetizer alone has brought me off the roof! Tender wagyu shank basked in truffle was already great: imagine the smooth taste of celeriac puree and oceanic flavor of lobster on top!

Up close: GOSH!

Even closer. omgmgmg.

I swear it was so good! It's the kind of dish that is so smooth you wouldn't realize till every bite is gone. It just.. flows.

AUS WAGYU BEEF BOLAR BLADE BULGOGI IDR 198.000++

Quail egg, steamed Japanese rice, spring onion, sesame seed

Time for a stronger flavor! The wagyu bolar blade bulgogi has undoubtedly redefined donburi in an entire escalation! You'd be very surprised by what could a difference in ingredients do: apparently a whole new thing.

The half cooked quail egg will burst with yolk, uniting the whole bowl!

It's just so tasty! Savory goodness of the whole bowl is harmonized with aroma of sesame and spring onion, truly a star of the east!

GRILL AUS TOMAHAWK IDR 998.000++

Asparagus, truss tomato, potato gratin, red wine sauce

The main game: 1.5kg of grilled tomahawk steak!

Needless to say, it screams the eat in meat!

Smooothh~

Paired with this perfectly made potato gratin and asparagus, it's just legendary.

*gulp* Look at these juicy layers!

Red wine sauce blends the meat and potato together, giving a refreshing overall taste that humbles the strong meat. Excellent!

We're done with Rasa Restaurant, but that's not everything yet! True Aussie brought their lamb not to Rasa, but here at Blue Terrace!

Lovely interior with flowers!

I have a thing with nature, especially when flowers and light meet!

Here it is! made into a gyro, this lamb was mixed with a light mix of greens, making it a succulent light bite!
