[CLOSED] Ten Ten Tempura House Plaza Indonesia Thamrin Jakarta

February 22nd, 2014. I went to Ten Ten Tempura House in Plaza Indonesia level basement. The place is quite catchy, dominated with wooden furnitures, while the concept is modern restaurant. Also they had "tempura" as their mascot. Tempura (天ぷら or 天麩羅 tenpura) is a Japanese dish of seafood or vegetables that have been battered and deep fried. The recipe for tempura was introduced to Japan by Portuguese Jesuit missionaries particularly active in the city of Nagasaki also founded by the Portuguese, during the sixteenth century (1549). Ten Ten itself means Tenpura Tenpura :)

They had cabinets full of cute things. It made me frozen in front of the cute little things. So lovely.

Now it's time for me to show you the food and beverages that they prepare.

Cold Ocha 10k

What do you expect from a cold ocha? Fresh!!! A very refreshing one.

Rose Collagen 25k

Ice Black Coffee 22k

Hot Matcha Latte 25k

Tempura Nori 11k

This menu will be a complimentary when you order main course. Crunchy with a strong taste of nori (seaweed).

Kani Korokke 28k

It's a croquette with crab stick and corn. They used truffle oil and mayonnaise. The taste was very unique. For those who aren't used to truffle oil will find it a little bit funny taste. But it's sure delicious.

Ten Ten House Salad 28k

Lettuce and tempura mixture, containing ebi (shrimp), squid, onion and ohba (big leaf). Served with tamanegi (onion) dressing. The salad was very good. Fresh and delicious.

Chicken Karaage Salad 25k

Lettuce served with chicken karaage and tamanegi (onion) dressing. Again, the salad was fresh and delicious. But, the chicken karaage was the winner. The meat was tender, but the skin was crunchy. Love it.

Tendon Black Pepper 45k

Tendon (天丼): tempura (some kinds of seafoods and vegetables) on rice. This tempura containing ebi (shrimp), pumpkin, sweet potato, string beans, kisu fish (a popular fish for tempura, sometimes called Shirogisu or Sillago) and mitsoba, served over rice and tendon sauce. Flavour: Black Pepper. Free miso soup. They have other flavours too if you don't like black pepper, such as Original, Spicy, Seaweed, and Curry.

Tenbara 50k

Tempura minced ebi (shrimp), shitake mushroom and negi (salad onion), covered with tendon sauce. Served over rice and pieces of seaweed. Free Miso Soup. I love this one. The sauce was incredibly tasty.

Tempura Curry Ramen 55k

Curry ramen served with tempura, consisting of ebi (shrimp), pumpkin, onion and mitsoba. Actually, I was a little bit scared when I looked at the ramen. Looks so spicy. So, as usual, I asked my best buddy to try it first, until he said that it's fine for me to eat the ramen. And, after I ate the looks-so-spicy-ramen, I wish I didn't have to share with others hahahaha..

Tempura Yaki Udon 55k

Stir-fried udon in soy-based sauce, served with tempura consisting of ebi (shrimp), pumpkin, onion and mitsoba. I believe you know that udon was my least favorite noodle. But, this udon.. hmmm.. how to describe it without drooling myself? You should try it yourself. It was genius!!

DESSERTS

Red Velvet Surprise 25k

Everybody knows that I never like red velvet because I don't like the taste of the cream cheese with desserts. But, this red velvet surprise, surprisingly not too sour for me :) Nice..

Matcha Cheese Pound Cake 25k

I love the texture of the cheese pound cake. They served it with matcha ice cream, red bean and milk. How to eat this? Pour the milk, not too much because it will ruin the texture of the pound cake.

Pannacotta 25k

The pannacotta came in 3 different flavours: Rum Raisin, Matcha with Red Bean, and Black Sesame. I love the texture of the pannacotta. Sometimes, the texture is too dense or too smooth. And usually the flavours are strawberry or chocolate. But, surprisingly, I love those flavours. I tried to pick which one was my favorite. Was it rum raisin? Was it matcha with red bean? Or black sesame? And I screamed out loud.. I LIKE THEM ALL!!! Hahaha..

Sweet Crispy Fondue 25k

This is a very unique one. We're get used to chocolate fondue or ice cream fondue, but they made a tempura fondue. Tempura made from strawberry, apple, and pear. Served with chocolate-dip. Delicious.

Btw, they had this promo for rainy seasons. Very attractive. Love this promo. Simple but quite entertaining.
