Found a new favorite on Gunawarman. The food is European inspired with Asian influences and honestly just really, really good! The kind of flavors that are interesting enough to talk about but comforting enough to just enjoy.
❤️ personal faves and can’t wait to go back to try the rest of the menu.

Finally tried Esa just in time for their last chapter!

Every dish felt like a childhood memory, familiar, warm, and homey but elevated in a way that made everything taste even better than I remembered.

So glad I made it before the end. You will be missed, Esa 🥹 taken in ESA Restaurant by @melchristin.eats

Kindling x Meta — 4 September 2026

Chinese roots, French refinement, terroir of Indonesia, three identities, one cohesive menu. All new dishes and every single one delivered.

Comforting yet surprising. Familiar yet completely new. The textures, the execution, nothing out of place.

This one stayed with me ❤️ taken in Kindling Jakarta by @melchristin.eats

@august_jkt x @restaurant.vinho — 3 September 2026

Been wanting to try Vinho since my last visit to Seoul but never got the chance, so glad this collab made it happen.

What I loved most was how August’s flavors adjusted to meet Vinho’s style. Everything felt cohesive, nothing fighting for attention, just quiet confidence on every plate.

The stars of the show for me? The chicken and tilefish. Absolutely outstanding.

I’d repeat this entire experience in a heartbeat 🫶🏻

Rooted & Reimagined: @racheltjahja x @yyprivatedining — 28 August 2026

I still remember eating at August Jakarta with Rachel, spotting Yvonne there too, and just blurting out to Rachel that they should collab since they’re sharing the same cuisine, Chinese. I’d also always been curious about Yvonne’s cooking but never had the chance to try it.

Fast forward 3 months later, so glad it actually happened.

PS: this was Rachel’s last appearance before she goes on maternity leave and to focus on R&D for her restaurant @firstbornjkt by @melchristin.eats

Didn’t expect a bowl of seolleongtang to hit harder than the version I had in Korea, but Chef @jb_istro the same one behind Jinjoo’s fine dining nailed it!

Broth so creamy and tasty, with minari two ways (raw and grilled) and beef so tender. The bibimbap is also great if you want something non soup!

Don’t skip the sides, my faves are Yukhoe and Soo-Yuk! Can’t wait to be back!

PS: hoping they open till midnight, this feels like prime hangover food material 🤭 by @melchristin.eats

Been coming to @kindlingjkt since day one, and watching Chef @valliannn ‘s craft evolve has been such a joy. This season might just be his best yet! A quiet dialogue between Chinese roots, French refinement, and the terroir of Indonesia ❤️ by @melchristin.eats

@sumajakarta x @nadodikl — 9 August 2026

Three cultures : Sri Lankan, Indian with Chef @yavhinsiri, Korean with @chefryankim, Chinese with Chef @brendonchen and somehow, it all comes together so beautifully.

The Chawanmushi and Claypot Biryani were the stars of the show,every combination just tasted amazing. And my favorite dessert, the butternut squash with caviar and nutmeg? Still as incredible as ever 🤍

What makes it even better is how much @sumajakarta’s main dishes have grown since the start of the season. Every visit feels warmer, and the service always makes me feel right at home. taken in SU MA by @melchristin.eats

@jinjoojakarta x @onharu_official - 14 August 2026
A Surasang concept, the kind of spread once fit for kings. Genuinely one of the most FUN collabs, especially as someone who’s watched way too many kdramas and Korean food variety shows to count.

Chef @seanykitchen on Netflix’s Culinary Class Wars known as “the banchan wizard” And honestly? He really is one!

Every course from him and chef @jb_istro was so ingredient forward and couldn’t pick a fave cuz I LOVED every single bite of every dishes. This might be the first fine dining meal that’s actually left me full LOL!
