Nice Food and Healthy: pik avenue

The major food event, Taste of The World, is happening at PIK Avenue and I was invited to come check out the event on its opening day and blogging my experience for you guys, the event is here to stay until October 1st 2017 at their Main Atrium, that means you still have 6 days to come and see what they have in store.

I am digging the Italian Market look on this and quick scan of the whole area, I quickly notice that 'premium' screams pretty loud, most of the tenants here offers you their premium products to indulge, savor and most likely to take home with you, expect to see quality products of meat, poultry, cheese, bakery, dairy, wine, salts, jams, granola, gelato and more!

Kemchicks = boss of the event for occupying the largest space here, more of them as you scroll

TEH 63

The booth's located just beside Leggero Gelato not too far from the stage and their artisan tea is well known for cleansing and detoxing and recommended to consume after the series of food you've consumed that day, but this was the first one that I tried and I took it as a warm up to my palate before exploring more.

The server will show you the brewing process and serves the tea live in front of you, the tea was rich but in the same time mild with smooth aftertaste as you finish.

They also sell these special teapots in case you want to bring them home #splurge

VIN+
I think Vin+ is a brand that needs no more introduction as they're already super popular, but anyway if you're stranger to this brand, they are wine specialist, suppliers, as well as a restaurant brand, they have outlets spread around Jakarta (Kemang and Pondok Indah Mall). They offer free wine tasting here so you'll have something to sample before deciding what you want to get. The Trivento Malbec seems to be the highlight here, it comes from Argentina and I was fond of the deep character of the wine, slightly bitter but aromatic still.

LEGGERO GELATO

No stranger to this brand as I am a gelato-hoe and I am an avid fan of their Pistachio and Tiramisu, but not that day as I wanted to try different flavors that they have on their line-up!

KEMCHICKS

Shout out to the boss aka Kemchicks as it's probably my FAVORITE tenant here, why? simply because they have a lot of good tasty food and extensive range of premium products (edible products, dairy products, wine) and ingredients and the followings you're about to see.

Chateau Magnol Haut-Medoc red wine!

Apothic Red

Cheese and butter counter

Say cheese!

Premium meats

Home baked breads and pastries!

Artisan sea salts!

Gourmet noodle

My favorite Bali Artisan Salt best for cooking or garnish with this clear pyramid shape!

Couldn't keep my eyes of this chunky-gigantic Roasted Turkeys and Ayam Kodok! If you're interested in bringing this home, reservation in advance is recommended.

The steak was SO GOOD and super duper tender!

Besides the ones that you're seeing here there are still a lot more to see (as I mentioned earlier around 30 tenants here) and hurry up as the event ends this October 1st, definitely not to miss!

SUSHI GO! - DOTONBURI PIK AVENUE

Last week me and my sister went to the newly opened Sushi Go! to have a quick lunch and I've been hearing quite a hype about this and good review from fellow foodies so why not give a chance. Sushi Go is probably the first brand to bring the one price sushi concept to town and they're choosing Dotonburi PIK Avenue as their first port of creativity (and business).

I came with the expectation that I would experience the moving conveyor belt sushi but at the moment they only operated the conveyor belt at dinner time so if you REALLY want to experience such thing then you should come at the evening, but I guess it's okay because afterall the food needs to be the main point and reason you guys come here. The interior sparked fun and simple yet homey with Japanese vibe and major yellow color as part of the branding and deco, the restaurant is probably the largest in Dotonburi PIK at the moment with capacity for around 50 people, there are separated tables but I don't know I normally like to sit around the sushi bar if certain restaurants occupy conveyor belt service.

As what I've mentioned earlier, the restaurant applies the 'one price' concept so everything that you'll be having here (or I had here) is going to be IDR 15k (before tax), it's seriously very affordable. It's like having Japan's very own Kura Zushi with taste that fits local's palate.

Sushi Go! offers around 40 kinds of Appetizer, Sushi, Salad, Sashimi, Gunkan, Maki, Rolls, Desserts with FREE Ocha (Japanese green tea) and condiments on the table. If you come at lunch time the orders are made through the staff but if you come at dinner time you can just take whatever you want from the conveyor belt.

I thought the portion was going to be small and sad but apparently they were not, it was more than I initially thought for IDR 15k, at certain plates they were actually pretty generous but yes certain plates do some in single serving like their Aburi Beef Sushi, and I do hope you're getting the same experience from what I got here. Everything that I ordered was either good or very good (but don't expect that you'll be having the best sushi in your life or ones that are close to what I had at Sen Shu), nothing was disappointing even the desserts! I thought it was going to be a dry cheap chocolate cake but it was actually rich, moist and enjoyable. Order everything that you're seeing here on my blog and I promise you won't be disappointed, but I will use the word 'FAVORITE' for the ones that I found really-really good.

Salmon Skin - FAVORITE

Garlic Cheese French Fries - cheesy but lacking the garlic flavor

Beef Hamburg Sushi - FAVORITE, was a bit skeptical due to the simple presentation but the haburg was moist, fragrant and tasty.

Aburi Salmon Sushi - FAVORITE

Tamago Spicy Mentai

Shime Saba Sushi with Teriyaki Sauce

Tuna Sushi - FAVORITE

Minced Tuna Sushi

Minced Tuna with Soft Boiled Egg Gunkan - FAVORITE, the soft boiled egg is giving that little hint of creamy texture! It was unique yet delicious.

Ebi Tempura Roll

DESSERT

Green Tea Cake, not the biggest fan because they're using the kind of green tea that I don't like.

Choco Mousse Cake - FAVORITE // rich, creamy, moist, pure love.

Because I have such huge appetite I think no matter how cheap the one price sushi here is, I think I am going to end up spend a lot because everything was good and most of them were total HITS so you just can't miss. Definitely see more visits in the future with more friends and you guys should too! It's a refreshing concept along with the well controlled quality. Good job Sushi Go!
