Wisata Kuliner The Hook Resto & Cafe, Jakarta, Indonesia

Located at Jl. Cikatomas II No. 35 Senopati, Jakarta. The Hook is the latest joint in Senopati area, located in Jalan Suryo, replacing what used to be Raja Begor restaurant. This restaurant is currently still in Soft Opening period, when we visited, they have been opened for less than 2 weeks. With the tagline of “Are you ready to get hooked?”, I was eager to visit and give this restaurant a try. The restaurant has a relatively large parking space (and valet service is also available), and looks just like a simple one-story building from outside. Stepping inside, the restaurant looks spacious with high ceiling, with a sophisticated and suave design, thanks to the leather seats and minimal decorations. The wall mural is simple yet accurately fascinating, successfully sparked my curiosity even more by their wording of “Prepare to get hooked”. The Hook’s specialty is seafood, especially groupers-related dishes. Groupers are known as “ikan kerapu” in Bahasa Indonesia, and are commonly found in restaurants in Indonesia. Then, what’s different about groupers in The Hook and other restaurants? The Hook claims that they only use ARAFURAS groupers, directly from the exotic Arafura Sea. There groupers are organically and naturally farmed, without the use of chemicals, antibiotics, and hormones. Fed with human consumption grade (such as fish, squids, shrimps, and crabs), the groupers are bred and raised to the highest quality, and free from chemicals that are commonly used in the fish farming industry. The menu itself is not too many but the variety is good enough. There are groupers dishes for sharing (2-4 person), chef’s recommendation, Indonesian, Western, and Asian fusion dishes, which can perfectly fit everyone’s taste buds on the table. Besides all the good food and drinks we had that noon, we highly appreciated the warm welcome and super friendly service, especially by our waiter and the managers-on-site. Kudos to the chef for delicious food, great service, and awesome place. Source: Reviews by Daisy Caroline https://www.zomato.com/jakarta/the-hook-resto-cafe-senopati
