El Asador - Enjoy South American Wood Open Fire Grill in The Heart of South Jakarta

Kemang is well known as the heart of culinary experience ideas, and this one is new in the neighborhood! A unique an authentic South American eatery named El Asador.

El Asador bases its whole culinary philosophy on the Latin asado method and indeed the parrilla (grill) here is the most attraction of the meet grilling technique with an open fire. 

Most people in Uruguay cook meat in a grill by using a wood stove in the hot temperatures. This may be practically new for Indonesian people because we usually grilling meat on the grill using charcoal or firewood. This unique technique is what El Asador restaurant trying to introduce. "Asado" literally means a specific cut of beef ribs, and “El Asador” means ‘the barbecuer’. Barbecuing for an “Asador” is an art that requires patience and diligence.

The restaurant is dominated by raw bricks and wooden ornament. The smell of the grilled meat from the parrilla assured us that we were actually in a grill house. Owner and manager Eugenio Doldan welcomed us on our visit last Saturday. He was really warm and showed us the cooking process by using the parrilla. The El Asador’s parrilla is definitely the restaurant’s central focal point and gets its own personal chamber, right next to the bar. Fuelled by wood, the adjustable grill here is a true testament to this superb South American cooking technique. 

  

Euginio is also the man behind the parrilla and served us some stellar offerings, everything from those legendary asado (beef ribs) and churrasco (rib eye) to chorizo and chicken cutlets. It was cooked a little longer, but it really worth the wait!

The asado was tender made it a perfect asado, as it’s important to be able to take a bite off a rib without having the whole thing fall apart in one’s hands. Our churrasco had also been flawlessly cooked and sported a sensational crusty exterior, which was complemented by a juicy red interior.

This is a unique dining experience, a must have for meat lovers! Brings you the authentic experience of South American cuisine in Jakarta. The deals is truly good, 350k/pax for meat on stellar offerings, it’s meat lovers’ paradise! All the grill orders here comes with the Traditional distinctive South American sauces Chimichurri, Spicy Chimichurri, Salsa Criolla, Spicy Salsa Criolla, Salsa Criolla el Especial, and Bapak Barbeque sauce.

Get ready for some Salsa actions every Wednesday at El Asador! There will be Salsa dance class with professional instructor from 7-9PM and Salsa dance floor with live band from 9-12AM!

Gallery-style café in the heart of Jakarta Business District Area with a modern style with a touch of art named Woodstone Eatery. The first time I visited, I was greeted warmly by the owner, Isabelle Janvlyn. A woman who have the relatively young age was admitted to undergo a culinary business with her ​​sister.

"I love to eat, so I thought to open this place along with my sister," she said when I met her on media gathering, Thursday (10/10).

The first impression that I get when entering this restaurant is slick. Interior design is not too flashy, but the impression is very homey when there are some side sofas and crystal chandeliers as well as some antiques on display.

Woodstone Eatery cleverly filling a gap in the food and beverage industry by offering American cuisine with a modern twist combined with Asian favorite delicacies with organic and fresh ingredients. Provide quality, great tasting and healthy food options.

They also have some cute cupcakes with many variants. I tried the green tea, red velvet, and dark chocolate, it was amazing! There still lots of western and Indonesian menu that they serve, the price is not too expensive but the taste is rich! 

Not only enjoy a delicious dish of the restaurant, I also had the opportunity to get around to the 3rd floor, there is Espa Spa & Reflexiology. The spa was also part of the ambition of the owners to pamper spa and massage lovers.

"So, in addition to providing good place to eat in a comfortable way, I also want the visitors to be able to relax and enjoy our spa," she added.

The spa has an interior design that deliberately created to bring a sense of comfort and relax for the visitors. With the lights dim atmosphere, visitors can get treatments like massages the feet, hands, and even the whole body.

It feels indeed very fitting for the people who come home from work and enjoy the afternoon to make a stop at this place, enjoy the good food, and also the spa and massage.
