Fiddleheads [Zomato Foodies Meetup]

I finally had may chance to attend my 3rd Zomato Foodies meetup at 22 March 2015. This time it took place in Fiddleheads which was located in Street Gallery in Pondok Indah Mall, South Jakarta. The restaurant itself is a casual dining with choices of western, asian, arabian, and Indonesian menu.

“How is the place?”

In my opinion, the place is artsy and classy. Since they has a lot of giant paintings and wooden-themed interior. The seatings is strict only for indoor usage, combined with several TVs and projectors which is good for live football match event (I wonder how it would be in Fiddleheads, I might drop by sometimes if being invited). 

From the table itself, they gave such a nice decoration such as a little plant, a paper table cloth, and cutlery. The chair was comfy enough for me to sit for hours and having chat while eating during the event.

Thus, in the back side of Fiddleheads I found a “hidden” place which consist of only 3 chairs and a dim light, I was curious and I guess how amazing this place would be at night. I think its awesome.

“When did you go there?”

I was joining my Zomato Foodies Meetup at brunch session at 22 March 2015. A lot of my friends was attending the event, I got a chance to met the owner and the chef since the explain about the food that was served.

“How was the service?”

Based on my experience, I would likely to give a 5 star for the service. Fiddleheads crew are very polite and kind to their customer. I always asked them about the menu so many times, and asked them to take some pictures too. Usually, some restaurant crew aren’t patient enough if some people asked them to take a picture which made a “blur” picture, luckily it didn’t happened to me while I visited Fiddleheads, their waiters are trained well.

“What did you order?”

Basically, it was a menu set given by Fiddleheads, such a wide selection of origin. They are :

[Appetizer] 

• Grill Chicken Salad

Basically nothing special about this menu since it consist of ordinary ingredients of salad. The main part is about the Grill chicken itself which is very tender and delicious. The dressing is also important and they use Asian dressing for the salad.

I liked this salad because they use baby tomatoes and some small piece of bread. I think it’s delicious yet healthy.

[Indonesian]

• Mie Aceh

A modern concept of creating the traditional Mie Aceh. The portion is quite small, which kept the balance of the noodle and the sauce. They also put a fried shrimp above the noodle so it was looked as the shrimp was floating on the sauce. Such a nice presentation.

The main color of Mie aceh is red due to the sauce which was using some of traditional spices such as tomato, shallot, garlic, onion, etc. Mie Aceh is completed using emping to amplify the Indonesian taste.

• Nasi Seafood Jimbaran

First of all, I thought it was just a one-based ingredient dish. But actually, it was consist of several seafood such as Baby Squid, Prawn, and Red Snapper fillet. It was mixed together and topped with Sambal Matah. Nasi Seafood Jimbaran also perfectly matched with warm steamed rice and lalapan.

[Arabian]

• Nasi Kebuli Mutton

Suddenly, a dish came from nowhere in the middle of chat. The owner suddnely add Nasi Kebuli Mutton to our menu set because one my friend was curious about the arabian dishes in Fiddleheads (Luckily...). Nasi Kebuli Mutton was consist of arabian rice which was cooked using raisin and several other arabian spices. The main part is the lamb, it was very soft and tender.

[Asian]

• Seafood Soondobu Jjigae

This jjigae is more like a soup for me, a soup which consist of Korean Kimchi, Tahu, and Shrimp. It was cooked using korean spices which gave a soury flavour to the Jjigae. The kimchi was a bit too much for me, so everytime I took a bite it was only the kimchi.

[Dessert]

• Banoffee

Last but not least, a delicious dessert was served. Based on the taste, it was consist of Banana and Coffee so it was called “Banoffee”. This is the greatest among all food that was served, it was very soft and tasty. Inside of Banoffee you can taste the banana which is matched with full cream milk and regal. Heavenly taste!

“So, The Conclusion is?”

Wow, I really enjoyed my Zomato Foodie Meetup at Fiddleheads. But I have some opinion about the menu, in my opinion the variety is too wide. In some case, it can make the customer to be confused without the expert assistance to choose (chef/waiter). But it’s not a problem for me actually.

Thank you to Zomato and Fiddleheads crew, I’m really glad to be the part of this meetup and have a chance to enjoy such a wonderful dishes and moment.
