Bar B Q Plaza Jakarta

This afternoon, I had an enjoyable lunch together with Jenz, Cindy and Imel at Bar B Q Plaza. It is a franchise restaurant from Thailand and just opened last July at Puri Indah mall.

Bar B Gon

The Bar B Q maskot - a cute cheerful dragon.

Bar B Q Plaza is a self-cooking Mongolian and Japanese style barbeque restaurant.

On the wall, there is the story in cartoon about the high quality of vegetables and meats being prepared for the customers so they can enjoy the barbeque at Bar B Q Plaza.

Self-grilling by the customers.

We chose Family Mixed (Beef & Pork) Set - Rp. 179.000

Set menu served together with sliced cabbage (free refill).

Meat: Beef and Pork

Fish, chicken, squid, carrot, asparagus, baby corn, udon.

Bok Choy - Rp. 8.000

Carrot - Rp. 8.000

Asparagus - Rp. 15.000

Chinese mushroom - Rp. 19.000

The way of cooking is a bit unique:

First, pour in chicken stock

Use lard or vegetable oil to grease the hot plate (for lard, leave the lard on the middle of the pan throughout and for vegetable oil, use sparingly). Then, place first the sliced cabbage and vegetables into the soup.

Grill meats and seafood on the hot plate. Do not overcook the meat and seafood to keep their tenderness.

Lastly, put in the Udon - only for 30 seconds.

During the cooking, we made sure that the soup is constantly topped up to prevent smoke and burning.

For the soup to be sweet, continue to add more vegetables. At the end of the cooking, the soup tasted so wonderful, full of the vegetables and meat's essence. Jenz and Cindy love to drink the soup :)

By the way, the best way to eat this barbeque, it is a must to dip the meat and seafood into the provided barbeque sauce because they are not marinated. To add a twist to the sauce, customers can mix it together with fresh cut chili, garlic and squeezed lime.

Beside the barbeque set menu, we also ordered:

Beef Bacon wrapped Asparagus and Enokitake mushroom - Rp. 29.000
