Gourmet Garage, Kemang, Jakarta

The place is wonderful mix of deli and easy casual dining. It's where locals and expats alike have their brunches and lunches when they're around Kemang area.

Their deli (or mini supermarket) offers a wide range of overseas goodies and they provide a decent ice-creamery on ground floor.

Head to second floor, that's where you'll find the dining area where they have two different specialties.
Saba caters fusion Western food while Hiro boasts some of the freshest Japanese food in town.

In one section of their dining area, they display some cute chinas from Jenggala, a local china company that has their own store in Cathay, Singapore as well.

A sample from Saba - their famous Wagyu Burger (where is the standard minced beef??). Fries were crispy with the right amount of seasoning, while the burger meat was (of course) juicy and tender.

While from Hiro, I tasted their grilled Silver Cod fish (or Gindara) with teriyaki sauce. This could be one of the tastiest Japanese fish dish I've ever tasted. The Japs could've disagreed to so much seasoning, but I gotta say, the meat was so tender and the sauce went right through the fish, it was soooo good.

Waited 15 minutes for this dish. Cleaned it up in 5.

Some of the Jap expats have told that Gourmet Garage's fish and oyster selection is one of the freshest in town. That's enough proof to get your sashimi here.

While for the sides, we got their Bruschetta trio of guacamole, tomato and roasted mushroom. Each one got two thumbs up. Delicious and fresh for the toppings and just enough crispiness on the French bread.
