Huize van Wely the Papilion Kemang Jakarta

Every time I passed by Kemang area, I was always startled by a building there. There was a butterfly with the name the Papilion. The building was made from glasses. I loved it but never knew what it was. "Is it a fine dining restaurant? Or a hotel? Hmm, I wonder." But I always forgot to find out what it was, until finally I was inside it.

Huize van Wely is a restaurant in the first floor of the Papilion. Huize van Wely, the famed Dutch patisserie that offers hand-made chocolates, bonbons, truffles, pastries, cakes, sweet and savoury biscuits and ice cream, introduces a bistro style eatery that offers all-time favorite local delights, traditional Japanese cuisine and scrumptious western fare. Its contemporary setting makes it the perfect location for business lunches, intimate dinners and family gatherings. I was lucky that on Wednesday, December 11th, 2013, they served Japanese cuisine. I love Japanese food!!! Every Wednesday, they serve a buffet lunch, and rotate the theme every week between Indonesian, Western and Japanese. Only 250k you can eat everything!

In December, the decoration was all about Christmas. Love the ambiance there.

The ambiance inside the Huize van Wely was very nice. Looked classy but quite cozy. I didn't feel intimidated in there :)

Before I show you the Japanese food that I tried that day, let me show you what they sell.

Now it's time for the Japanese food to show-off hihihi :) I don't know why I'm in love with Japanese food. I cannot resist Japanese food. Love it to the max. I can sit in a Japanese restaurant for hours, like 7 hours max. Yup, 7 hours. :D

Mochi & Dorayaki

I think everybody know what Dorayaki is :) Dorayaki (どら焼き, どらやき, 銅鑼焼き, ドラ焼き) is a type of Japanese confection, а red bean pancake which consists of two small pancake-like patties made from castella wrapped around a filling of sweet Azuki red bean paste. Dorayaki are similar to Imagawayaki, but the latter are cooked with the batter completely surrounding the bean paste filling and often served hot.

Rice Salad

Saikyo Yaki

Saikyo Yaki is a salmon cooked with saikyo miso. This is very delicious. Love it.

Soba is the Japanese name for buckwheat. It is synonymous with a type of thin noodle made from buckwheat flour, and in Japan can refer to any thin noodle.

Mixed Deep Fried

Niku Tofu

Niku tofu is simmered meat and tofu. Niku means meat in Japanese. Commonly, beef is used for this dish.

Sumashi Soup

Sumashi Soup is Japanese basic clear soup.

They were all delicious. They even gave me complimentary buns. Different from others, the crust of the bun were a little bit hard to chew at first, but after one bite you could feel the soft and tender buns in your mouth.

The macha soes and dorayaki were my favorite. The taste was very unique but I love it.

For beverages, I tried their tea and juice.

Ice Lychee Tea

Strawberry Juice

The cute part was the mini cakes and mini eclairs. Lucky me that I could taste them all. One by one, bit by bit. All made me drooling indeed. I just wanna cry when I saw them. Cute little sweetness!!!

But the best part was the chocolate bonbon and pralines. I asked for the pralines with alcohol. They were all the best!!! Love them all. Woohoo.. *no, I wasn't drunk.. yet.. hahahaha*

I definitely will come back again for their pralines. Hahaha.. Yup, the alcohol pralines hihihi.. Thanks Huize van Wely for letting me drooling all over your place.
