Here’s are the dishes I’ve ordered during my visit comes with my ratings, summarised with the dishes’ ingredients and price:
Appetizers
- Kilo’s Steak Tartare – 4.8/5.0
This appetizer was a standout, crafted with tenderloin, jicama, gochujang, a quail egg, and a touch of crispy nori. The tenderloin was exquisitely prepared, and the gochujang added a unique kick that contrasted nicely with the fresh jicama and delicate quail egg. Each bite was a delightful mix of textures and flavors, with the crispy nori adding the perfect crunch. Price: IDR 180k (~$11.50 USD)
- Truffle Tai Yuzu Roll – 4.5/5
Delicate and flavorful, the Truffle Tai Yuzu Roll was as visually stunning as it was delicious. With truffle yuzu dressing draped over crab and sushi rice, it struck a harmonious balance between earthy truffle and citrusy yuzu. This appetizer showcased Kilo’s approach to fusion – familiar but with an unexpected twist. Price: IDR 180k (~$11.50 USD)
Mains
- Squid Ink Rice – 4.5/5
The Squid Ink Rice, featuring crispy baby squid, salmon roe, and a drizzle of garlic aioli, was rich in flavor with a beautiful presentation. The squid ink rice itself was savory and slightly briny, enhanced by the tangy pops of salmon roe. The crispy baby squid provided a fantastic contrast to the creamy garlic aioli, making each bite satisfying and bold. Price: IDR 215k (~$13.70 USD)
Drink
- Kombucha – Beetroot Apple Basil – 4.2/5
A refreshing choice, this kombucha flavor was a unique blend of beetroot, apple, and basil. The subtle sweetness of apple balanced the earthiness of beetroot, while the basil added a fresh, herbal note. A delightful palate cleanser, this drink complemented the dishes well, adding a touch of effervescence to the meal. Price: IDR 60k (~$3.80 USD)
