So today I went to have brunch with my friends at Cork and Screw Pacific Place, and it so happened that today, they just launched the “brunch at the terrace” activity featuring guest chef, Asier Arroyo. I’ve been a huge fan of Cork and Screw, first of all, this restaurant is managed under the Union group, I don’t know exactly why, it’s maybe their upscale chic design/ambiance, or maybe their good food, but their restaurants always seem to feel special for me! Secondly, I’ve been visiting Cork and Screw countless times since it first opened in Plaza Indonesia, and when I was still in the high school, and you go back and forth to a particular place not for no reason, there’s indeed something special about them.Sangria, mocktails and cocktails pairing! Their Sangria Bianco is a must try (IDR 130k) and if you prefer something lighter you can try the Cranberry and Lime Tonic(IDR 50k), I wouldn’t recommend their Bloody Mary (IDR 90k) as it tasted more like chilled spicy-peppery tomato soup and tabasco, sorry not for me.
Tempted to sample Chef Asier Arroyo’s signature dishes so from the “Classics with A Twist”, we ordered these:Lox and Schmear on Whole Wheat
IDR 95kI wasn’t really planning to order this, I was going to order the Steaks and Eggs, but it’s kinda like the classic been there done that for me, so I opted for this and guess what? NO REGRET! Tried Lox and Schmear once in London, but it’s mostly served on bagels there, but here they’re using whole wheat sourdough, certain amount of light cream cheese with (what I guess to be) dill & parsley was spread on top of the bread, then the poached egg and garnished with generous amount of tobiko! This was very enjoyable and the main highlight has got to be the cream cheese, just so yum!Salmon Two Ways on Toasted SourdoughIDR 110kConsisting of Salmon Roillettes, Salmon Gravlax, capers and truffle scrambled eggs, this dish was something worth trying! The salmon was so fresh and had this beautiful saltiness to it that it almost speaks to the whole dish, and the truffle scrambled eggs was another winning element of this dish, the truffle oil was given in a proper amount: it might not have that strong aroma, but when you actually have a bite, it’s simply there.Roast Pork Belly on French Country LoafIDR 110kPork lovers should be happy because if you decide to have brunch here, beside the suckling pig, you can have this as your meal! In a sense, it seems very healthy with generous arugula spread on top of the dish (and since I am an avid fan of arugula, it’s certainly a plus point for this), and the pork belly was bacon-thin chopped and besides contributing to the flavor by giving that salty and savory flavor, since it’s thinly chopped, it’s almost like giving the texture to this dish in contrast to the creamy poached egg, I just LOVE this! MUST TRY.I notice they’re big on eggs, and they made BEAUTIFUL poached eggs, it’s just soft, almost sous-vide like texture, perfectly runny and on top of all, FRESH.
I was completely satisfied with the brunch earlier today, I honestly think they serve one of the best, or if not, THE BEST brunch I’ve had in Jakarta so far, again, they’re big on eggs, Spanish inspired, amazing in seasoning and I can see myself coming back for more brunch dates with family or friends (mostly with friends LOL). Keep up the AMAZING work, Cork and Screw, then I believe the word of mouth will do you good <3.
