Silk Thai — Restaurant in Jakarta

@nats.foodjournal

First impression when I first arrived would be the exterior looks a lot & giving the same vibes like Silk Restaurant at Menteng! The vibes were similar and I’m all for it. A phrase to describe and conclude my eating experience here is: BURST OF FLAVOR❤️

•⁠ ⁠𝙍𝙚𝙙 𝘿𝙪𝙘𝙠 𝘾𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙮𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙 (185𝙠) ✨✨ What sorcery is this?! Enak bangetbangetbanget. The curry is bold, it’s like a party in your mouth; the Asian spices, the veggies, the seasonings, and the tender duck 🦆 Bebeknya juga gak bau. I don’t usually eat veggies, agak picky anaknya, but I didn’t pick my veggies here; comot aja semuanya bcs I wanted to have full experience HAHA we wiped this dish clean.

•⁠ ⁠𝙋𝙖𝙙 𝙆𝙖 𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙤 (180𝙠) ✨ Another burst of flavor. I dare say this is the best pad ka prao I have ever had?! It’s spicy and the spices were ‘spicing’ 😂🌶️

•⁠ ⁠𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙬𝙣 𝙋𝙖𝙙 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙞 (165𝙠) ✨ Pad thai was good?! It’s more on the sour side hehehe gak pernah cobain pad thai di Bangkok jd gak tau authentic/gak, but it’s fresh!

•⁠ ⁠𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙣 𝙋𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙍𝙞𝙘𝙚 (150𝙠) ✨ Enak juga?! 🥲 “gosong”nya dapet, flavor profile-nya juga manis dan gurih. Nasinya gak gitu pera. One of the best pineapple fried rice I’ve ever had!!

•⁠ ⁠𝙆𝙖𝙣𝙖 𝙈𝙤𝙤 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙗 (195𝙠) ✨✨ SO GOOD😭😭 the pork was sooo tender, bener2 effortless banget makannya…. There’s part yang crispy juga!! Ini kayak agak Chinese food gt ya rasanya (?) the only let down was kerupuk kulit babinya melempem karena kelamaan dianggurin (difoto dan nunggu makanan semua keluar).

•⁠ ⁠𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙤 𝙎𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙮 𝙍𝙞𝙘𝙚 (85𝙠) Yang ini jujur biasa aja hehehehe porsinya agak kecil. The durian ice cream was good, I guess? I’m not a big fan of durian in the first place, tp...

Came here for iftar dinner. I ordered some authentic Thai cuisine. Tom Yum Seafood of course one of main course that should be ordered. I expected that this menu will served with heated serving pot but tom yum comes in a bowl which not really authetic like anothe tom yum. The taste a little sour in our mouth with too many coconut milk taste, also too many vegies inside than the seafood.

Pad Thai was so good and again a bit different with another pad that. They served vegies as topping pad thai, not mixed it.

Gindara Spring Roll also good, crispy, and tasty, also the sauce was perfect to combine it.

Mango Sticky Rice serving as dessert. I thought this is the best menu in here. Sticky rice quite soft with durian ice cream and mango. Love the tast and perfect!

I ask the waiter what is best drink but not too sweet and they recommend Pandan Thai Tea. As I expected, this drink not too sweet and I like it, especially pandan cream is very soft and gives different taste, but thai tea a bit thick.

Overall Silk Thai’s menu was so good maybe just need a little improve. Service perfect also the ambience is very comfort and suitable if you wanna get dinner or meeting with quite room, because they had warm lighting that...

My experience at Silk Thai in Jakarta was truly outstanding.

The Chicken Pandan was absolutely delicious: juicy, flavorful, and served in a generous portion. The Squid Sashimi was the star of the night: incredibly fresh, tender, and easily the best squid sashimi I’ve ever had. The Prawn Pad Thai was perfectly balanced with a wonderful mix of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors, while the Creamy Tom Yam was rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying.

For dessert, I indulged in the Milk Tea Fondant with Boba, featuring a luscious molten center and topped with cheese ice cream and a very aromatic caramel, a creative and memorable end to the meal. When I say aromatic, literally the caramel aroma spread every where, really enticing.

The service was impeccable, with a very attentive service team who made sure everything was perfect. I was also fortunate to meet Chef-Owner Freddie, whose passion and dedication to delivering an exceptional dining experience truly shines through in every detail.

Silk Thai is a must-visit for anyone looking for elevated Thai cuisine in Jakarta. Highly...
