Bahkan bila frasa “Bebek Bengil” (atau ‘tengil’) mengingatkan Anda pada diskotek pertama yang pernah Anda kunjungi—ah Anda tahu maksud saya—tipe dengan kilatan cahaya biru terang yang membuat Anda berganti baju belasan kali sebelum akhirnya berani menghadapinya—jangan dulu mencoret yang satu ini dari daftar Anda. Jika Anda bisa melewati dekorasi yang megah namun anakronistis—apa yang terjadi dengan warung-warung kalem pinggir jalan?—Bebek Bengil masih piawai mengolah bahan-bahannya: bebek dengan kegaringan yang tepat, tak kuyup berminyak, disajikan dengan sambal matah Bali serta urap (sayur rebusan yang renyah berbalur parutan kelapa) yang mantap. Sungguh klasik.

Kejutan menyenangkan lainnya adalah sup bebeknya—kaldu yang tampil perkasa, dengan aksen potongan melon, berlimpah dengan jahe dan arak (memberi sentuhan ciamik yang membumi)—dan hidangan laut panggang yang terdiri atas udang windu, kakap, tuna, dan cumi, disuguhkan dalam langgam Mediterrania dengan zucchini serta paprika merah dan hijau, tapi sungguh sangat Bali dari segi cita rasa (tarik urat antara Barat dan Timur yang sama-sama menahan diri).

Apabila Anda penggemar Nasi Bali, silakan pergi ke tempat lain. Campuran mujarab yang khas bagi sajian ini—yakni kacang goreng yang kulitnya masih mendesis panas dan ikan teri goreng—diturunkan ke tingkat yang nyaris tak dapat diterima dengan penggunaan kacang Bali standar; dan daging pedasnya sama-sekali tak pedas.

Lukisan-lukisan lanskap bertema Indonesia Molek di dalam ruangan, yang sungguh menjemukan, dan dengan bingkai yang lebih membosankan lagi, berusaha memaku tempat ini pada suatu standar kemewahan tertentu. Seperti diperkirakan, upaya ini segera dikalahkan oleh ruang depan mereka (yang bahkan tak melakukan upaya apa pun).

Saya sarankan Anda duduk di luar, di taman, tempat Anda bisa mengelak dari ambisi ruang makan yang berlebih-lebihan dan sedikit mengganggu, dengan bangku-bangku panjang dan warna coklat kelam serta jingga megah yang tak berjiwa—seperti restoran hidangan laut yang didandani mati-matian, tak yakin tentang apa yang harus mereka lakukan dengan uang mereka. Tapi bebeknya, oh, bebeknya… cukuplah saya bicara.

This impossibly large place that harks back to the 90’s is the enduring Italian institution you’ve almost forgotten. If you can go past the bold splashes of colour, handmade glassworks and generally riotous accents — which strangely work, paired with a few intimately-lit sections that raise the romantic factor — you’ll realize there is a serious kitchen behind all the theatrics.

Given the refusal, it seems, to play it safe, restraint is apparent in the menu. Asparagus, especially, gets respectful treatment from Chef Flavio Manzoni: the warm asparagus with roasted bell pepper and pecorino makes for a lovely, light appetizer, full of subtle flavours. Its peer, the asparagus and green pea soup with poached lobster and truffle cream, lacks a necessary layer of depth but is pleasant enough. Gorgeous is the fettucine with seared Canadian scallops, raisins and braised shallots in brown butter emulsion—the scallops are of the right quantity and size as not to overwhelm, the raisins and braised shallots add zest, and the brown butter infuses without coddling. Equally successful is the stuffed chicken breast—given that it is, after all, chicken breast—that yields a lush overflowing of porcini mushroom and boursin farce, balanced with a soft but full-bodied potato puree subtly scented with the chicken’s natural jus and Alba truffles. Lovely.

Other stars of the show include the gloriously simple-sounding half moon ravioli (plump little purses of ricotta, spinach and tomato sauce) and the risotto with cepe mushroom, tomato and parsley. The veal scaloppini is pounded thin and adorned—again, austerely—with a drizzle of lemon and capers, over a judicious pairing with grilled vegetables and seared potato gnocchi.

A dessert of flourless chocolate cake is a bit of a let down, with clashing textures and architectonics that do little to alleviate the modesty of its size, but thankfully, not enough of a disappointment to write off the superb overall experience. A thoughtful wine list and absolutely first rate service further enhance.

Brunch addicts can expect everything from sushi, dim sum and foie gras to kebab, hummus and cheeses of all kinds, where, you will be surprised, it is the non-Italian fare that quietly dazzles.

Sunda Kelapa

The food hasn’t let up one bit: the kangkung in belachan sauce remains the best in town, topped as in yesteryear, with scads of fragrant, semi-crushed roasted garlic

Jl. Ancol Barat IV no. 28/29
Pelabuhan Sunda Kelapa
Jakarta Utara
Tel. 692 4954, 690 8765

The 37-year old Sunda Kelapa cannot be more improbably located (in the middle of the city’s most barren gastronomic point, a maze of industrial waste that makes up the area, or what was left of it, of the old harbour) or impossibly low-key (though now it does have some kind of signage). When you do see it, you’ll find it standing almost surreally reminiscent of a beachside road seafood shack with its sad, blinking fairy lights strung between the roof and the window against a de Chirico sky. Best to enter through Jl. Parangtritis, turn left at the “BCA” intersection, cruise along until end of street and turn right in the direction of the old port. It’s on the left hand side.

Inside it is a different world altogether — with a very New Order (“Orba”-esque) sensibility from its stiff, leather bound menu right down to its framed celebrity signatures-dotted walls. The colour scheme is government-esque green, its décor basic but very clean, its lighting slightly dim and claustrophobic (although I have to say the room is extremely well air-conditioned).

The food hasn’t let up one bit: the kangkung in belachan sauce remains the best in town, topped as in yesteryear, with scads of fragrant, semi-crushed roasted garlic; ditto the grilled squid in sweet garlicky butter sauce. Despite its cloying, monochromatic sweetness, the king prawn with spicy Padang sauce, which is deep-fried in such a way that you can eat the whole thing from head to tail, has a way of growing on you. The fresh orange juice with coconut meat is an ideal accompaniment. Strictly for the most dedicated of foodies.
