Shima Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Jakarta

I have a childhood memory of my first teppanyaki dining with my parents in Singapore. They hold my hands and swung me while we were walking to the restaurant after meeting my dad's business partners.

I couldn't say teppanyaki yet, so I called it "sang seng song" 😂 (it was the sound of the metal cooking tools lol). I was very impressed with the cooking style that I had never seen before, I think we don't have it yet at our home town back then.

So when my dad said he wanted to have a teppanyaki dinner, it surely brought some nostalgic moment.

The name of the restaurant is the same like the one we had in Spore, but I don't know wether the two actually related or not lol. Our chef has been working there for more than 25 years, impressive right?

They have several type of sets, consist of beef (different types like kobe wagyu, us wagyu, sirloin, etc), Fish mostly salmon, Lobster, Oyster, etc. Depends on the set that you choose. The set will come with chawan mushi, vegetables, baked tofu and mushrooms, fried rice, and banana flambee.

Taste was great of course, since you eat them freshly cooked in front of you with very minimal spices to keep the original taste of each ingridients.

Place was nice, private in rooms and quite calm. Service was okay, well some of the waitresses will lead you to order the most expensive set lol, but it is a minor problem. Price was quite high, however, remembering that it was placed in a fine hotel, freshly cooked by skillful chef, put some entertainment for you and family, and using quality ingridients, I wouldn't say it was expensive tho. Besides, you can always choose your own menu according to your budget.

The banana flambee was an amazing show lol. I put the short video here. Such a sweet way to close the dining experience.

Overall, we had a great night and love the food as well. A good place to celebrate...
