2025's First Business Trip Meal: PANJTA Jakarta 💼🍽️
Located in SCBD, South Jakarta (with a branch in Bali too!), PANJTA ranks as Asia's No.27 and Indonesia's No.2 bar—but honestly, their food steals the show. A must-visit for Italian-Asian fusion lovers. Every table orders these: 🍗 PFC Korean Fried Chicken (🌟🌟🌟) Crispy outside, juicy inside—each bite is an explosion of flavor. Wish I had a cold beer to pair it with (too bad Jakarta doesn’t snow 😆). Comes in original or spicy versions. 🍔 Pantja Burger (🌟🌟🌟) The ultimate drinking snack: buttery puff pastry replaces buns, crispy on the outside, melting cheese and caramelized onions on the inside. Sweet, savory, and addictive. Best enjoyed with a cocktail (eating it solo feels slightly heavy, though). 🥩 Picanha Wagyu (Medium Rare, 🌟🌟🌟🌟) Juicy, tender, and perfectly seared. The fat melts in your mouth, making it a match made in heaven with red wine (tannins + beef fat = culinary soulmates). 🍝 Bucatini (🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟) Unbelievably good. Who knew Jakarta had such authentic bucatini? The hollow pasta soaks up the creamy sauce just right—not too dry, not too saucy. Best bucatini I’ve had in ages. 💡 Bonus Points Their drink menu highlights minority and female bartenders—such a positive vibe 👏🏻. Pro Tips: Weekdays: Walk-ins welcome. Fri-Sun nights: Make a reservation (it gets packed!). 📍 PANJTA Jakarta Jl. Senopati No.37, Senayan, Kby. Baru, Jakarta 12190 #HiddenGem #FoodieAdventures #JakartaEats #WineAndDine #AsianBartendersRock
