i haven't tried this one before at EX, guess why?? yes..bcos the place is so classy-expensive looks like and it relates to the 'wallet thing' hahahha. Because of the new opening restaurant, they give 50% promo discount ended last week...yippieee...so last weekend me & bf decided to have our dinner there...it's a rare opportunity!!
The place is located at the special design of Senci, the circle-glass building at the main lobby, the best spot in Senayan City, i guess. At first, I think they build that additional building for just an art reason hehehe, but actually they don't. En's main entrance is from Crystal Lagoon, LG floor. It has two-floor. 1st floor is just like ordinary Japanese restaurant, tables, vip room, and tatami, while the 2nd floor is the Japanese bar. The place is comfy but the chair is not quite comfy enough (some of them are backless chairs). My seat is rather private than public. They are quite large space between one another, so it's a perfect seat for me! no crowded noisy people around us hehehe
The service is excellent. The waiter is easily to find and they are always ready to serve their best to the customer. One waiter poured the sauce to my bowl when he brought our sushi order, it was my 1st experience like tat, i duno if other fancy restaurant served like that hehehe...oh, and they always re-fill my ocha before i asked them to..!! ha.ha.
For the food, this time we start with our fav Jap appetizer, Chawanmusi. It is steamed egg custard with mixed of chicken, shrimp, mushroom, and don't know exactly the others. It is YUMMYYYY...this one comes to my number 1 list, beat one in Sumire.
I continue with the sushi, since i'm not a fan of raw food, i ordered California Rolls and Tiger Rolls..both of them are TASTYYYYY....it's so fresh..the rice, and all the topping is really fresh and crispy when u bite 'em...i like both!! This is like in Rakuzen's, maybe better...
California Rolls (56k) Tiger Rolls (78k)
I also wana try the ordinary Jap food, Chicken Katsu, again...it's DELICIOUS.. even if it's just ordinary chicken katsu but they cook it in their own way. crispy yet tasty!!!!!!!! plus the LIP-SMACKING sauce, it's just like liquor-sauce and there's sesame on the top. i'm not good at explaining the ingredients tho hahahha..I'm starving at that time so i also ordered this expensive Gohan (it costs 12k) in completing my Chicken Katsu.Katsu Chicken (58k)
My bf's choice for the main course is Crab Chahan. It is Japanese fried rice covered with crab soup and soft shell crab on top. I guess it is 'kepiting soka'. It is DAMN GOOD....and quite big portion..!!Crab Chahan (85k)
We chose macha ice cream for dessert. This green tea ice cream is average, not as special as the food i ordered. It's better Cream&Fudge's n Haagen Daaz's.
We were very very full..these sluruppp yummy food are really worth! aside from the price, it's a bit overprice, but hey..it's 50% disc hahahaaa...We're fully satisfied when paying off the bill..
En Dining is surely one of the best Japanese restaurants in Jakarta.
