Discover a ridiculously luxe Cantonese restaurant in Jakarta's PIK 2 that feels like a five-star hotel. The main event is the god-tier Crispy Pork Belly, with its unbelievably crunchy skin and melt-in-your-mouth layers. Other must-tries include authentic roasted duck and creative dim sum. With a grand ambiance, live music, and even private KTV rooms, this spot is the perfect splurge for an unforgettable meal that will teleport your taste buds straight to Guangdong.
Honestly, if my friend hadn't dragged me along for an over-an-hour drive to PIK 2 in Tangerang, I might have missed out on this god-tier Cantonese restaurant. I was still wondering to myself, what kind of place is worth all this trouble[1]? Turns out... wow, it was so good! 😂
The moment I stepped inside, I almost thought I'd walked into a five-star hotel lobby. Super high ceilings, a space so big you could run laps in it, dazzling crystal chandeliers, the whole vibe was just one word: Grand![2] The tables are also spaced far apart, so you don't have to shout to chat with friends, offering plenty of privacy. There's even live music on weekend nights, making the atmosphere super Chill.
But no matter how great the ambiance is, it's all for nothing if the food isn't good. Without further ado, let's get to the signature dishes!
You HAVE to order the Crispy Pork Belly (Samcan)[3]! I was stunned when the waiter brought it over; the skin was just so glistening and shiny. The moment my chopsticks touched it, there was a 'crunch'—oh my god, that sound is so satisfying! The pork skin was as crispy as a potato chip, the fat underneath just melts in your mouth, and the lean meat was tender and juicy... Anjay! The taste is truly unforgettable, definitely top-tier in Jakarta.
Their Roasted Duck[4] is no slouch either, with crispy skin, tender meat, and a super authentic flavor. Dim sum lovers, don't miss out either—the Siu Mai, Har Gow, and Salted Egg Yolk Buns[5]... you can order them with your eyes closed and not go wrong. I also tried a very special Dragon Beard Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll[6]; the silky smooth rice noodle skin wraps around crispy fried shrimp, creating an incredibly rich and layered texture, Mantap! And the portions are quite generous too; my Indonesian friend wasn't kidding when they said 'porsinya juga gede'[7].
Of course, with such a great environment and quality of dishes, the price is definitely not cheap. It's easily over 500k IDR per person, so my wallet definitely felt a little pinch[8]. Plus, its location in PIK 2 is indeed a bit of a hassle for friends who don't live in the North or don't have a car.
