Starting from a spontaneous impulse to have dinner in this new restaurant from one of my blogger Friend, finally lead us to this new Korean restaurant located in Senopati Area. Arraseo which means "i understand" is tried to tell their customer that they understand what their customer want. This Restaurant enliven the list of the culinary experience around Senopati Area. This newly open place located right across the Residence 8 Senopati. Not far from Chateu Le Blanc and just right next to the Pao Pao Restaurant. Since the location is not to far from my office , so why not give it a try.
At first is a bit difficult to find the sign board for Arraseo. they only has small name board right to the restaurant door. When we get there we though the restaurant still under construction and not open for public yet. But as soon as the staff greet us at the door then we finally know that this restaurant is already open for business.
As soon as we walked in , the first comment that comes out from my friend of t is how clean and minimalist the restaurant is. Their Simple design with wall dominated in all-white and not much of the decoration at the wall makes us feel like as if we walk in an iglo. The design is simple and sleek. Their wooden chair all cream almost white color but with maroon seat cushion. In one side of the wall they hang a huge blue slash green drape. I guess the intention is to make that as a center of the attraction in the main dining room. In the smaller dining room just near the bar, they also put a maroon at the background of the bar wall. For me better to put some more decoration so the ambiance will be more like homey and inviting. The Staff were very responsive to serve us. They also seem to have good knowledge about their menu and recommend the signature dish of the restaurant.

| Tobiko Egg Roll - 52 K |
For the appetizer Tobiku Egg Roll is surely must try dish. This dish is basically Omelet rolled with tobiko and mozarella cheese inside. On top they pour the mustard sauce and mayonise. The rolled omelet is fluffy and soft, with Tobiko inside that what makes is crunchy and taste savory in every bite. The mustard and mayonise sauce enhance the taste. perfect combination put together. It's delish and i love it. Highly recommended

| Ojingeo Bokum - 90 K |
For the main course try Ojingeo Bokum. This dish is a spicy stir squid with vegetables. For this menu the waiter said that we actually request for the spiciness level. This time we request the lowest level since we actually can't handle spicy food. This dish served in the hot plate to keep it warm. The squid cooked perfectly, it's tender and juicy and you can actually cut it with your spoon. This squid flower-shape cut-off stir with vegetables such as cabbage, zucchini and corn with sour and spicy sauce. The seasoning is just right , and that what makes this dish taste so refreshing and so korean. Served in the generous portion , i guess it's enough to share for 2 person. Love this choice of dish. Perfect to eat with rice and the waiter said that this dish is also one of the signature dish in Arraseo

| Complimentary Dish : Kimchi |
Korean meal not complete without Kimchi. Here in Arraseo they served us Kimchi for free as complimentary welcome dish. Kimchi is a traditional fermented Korean side dish made of vegetables with a variety of seasonings. It is often described as spicy and sour. In traditional preparation kimchi is often allowed to ferment underground in jars for months

| Strawberry Mocktail - 50 K |
For drinks even though i normally go for ice lychee tea, this time i tempted to tried their mocktail. Strawberry Moctail sound very good and this time i just go for that. This drink basically made from Yakult mixed with strawberry and manggo juice. Also the put pieces of strawberry and manggo so while you sip the drink you can also have bite of the fruit. It taste sweet, sour and fresh. i love this combination of fermented yakult with fresh strawberry and manggo juice. Too bad the portion is just small and too pricey for 50 K.
 |
| Green Tea Bingsu - 45 K |
And finally the dessert, This restaurant don't have wide variety of the dessert. Knowing that a lot of Korean Dessert restaurant open in Jakarta, i expected that i will also find the wide variety of the Korean dessert here too. So for dessert the choice goes for Green Tea Bingsu. This dessert is basically snow ice served with green tea ice cream and topped with red bean and some crunchy corn flakes. The ice cream so soft and melt ed right in your mouth. bitterness from the green tea ice cream is perfectly combine with the sweetness from the red bean and the crunchy sensation from the corn flakes. To Sum up, i love dessert !
Arraseo gives a modern , sleek and minimalist ambiance that scream young and fresh for the place itself. But when it comes to the taste of the food, they are they are definitely not minimalist.
