Huang Ji Huang PIK — Restaurant in Jakarta

Step into the vibrant world of Huang Ji Huang, where the fiery embrace of Mala simmer hot-pot awaits! A haven for Chinese food enthusiasts, especially during festive Lunar New Year celebrations. After a hiatus of five flavorful years, I revisited this culinary gem.

Despite the passage of time, the essence remains unchanged, with a mere 5% price bump that pales in comparison to the generosity of their portion sizes.

Our feast included the Mix Kombinasi, featuring succulent Iga Babi (Pork Ribs), plump Udang (Shrimps), tender Daging Sapi (Beef Slices), and silky Egg Tofu. But fear not, for amidst this protein parade, an array of complimentary Sweet Potatoes, Potatoes, Carrots, Celeries, and Dates add colorful variety. For an extra kick, dive into their tantalizing Mala sauce, weaving a symphony of flavors that elevate each ingredient to new heights!

At Huang Ji Huang, dining is a communal experience, with families gathering to share in the joy of food, marveling at the skilled hands that blend each element into a harmonious masterpiece. It's a haven for family bonding and culinary exploration. Come one, come all, but be warned: this pork-centric paradise is strictly...

My family ordered Mun Kombinasi Laut (焖海之味) IDR 368,000 cooked with Hot Mala Sauce which includes fish, crabstick, shrimp, squid & vegetables (this was recommended by the waiter, enough for 3-4 people). The ingredients look fresh and come in plastic box already marinated. Then the waiter will cook the meal in front of us. All the ingredients fresh and on-point cooking method is used the resulting dish tasted good. The spicy mala sauce only gave a hint of mala taste, doesn't give a strong, overpowering mala smell that is found in mainland China's hotpot. There's a spicier option though, at no additional cost, please go for it if you like. They probably only use mala powder or grounded mala pepper to cater with local taste as not many people are familiar with the mala taste. Overall a satistying meal for 4 people eating full, and decently priced considering the area (our bill settled at around IDR 500,000 after adding rice, drinks, and 10% PPN +...

When it comes to dining experiences, the food is often the star, but a truly memorable meal is made even better by excellent service. This restaurant certainly hits both marks. If you're a fan of dry mala, this place is a must-visit — the flavors are fantastic, and you’ll surely find yourself coming back for more.

What truly stands out, however, is the team that makes the experience exceptional. They are not only helpful but also incredibly kind and attentive, with a genuine sense of hospitality. A special shout-out goes to mas Hendy, who went above and beyond to ensure our visit was nothing short of perfect. The warmth and thoughtfulness of the staff create an inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

I hope continues to shine through for every guest that walks...
