Taste of the Archipelago Attracts MIDAZ Senayan Golf, a Culinary Oasis in the Heart of Jakarta

JAKARTA – MIDAZ Senayan Golf is a dining and lounge located at Senayan Avenue Pintu IX Jl. Asia Afrika, Gelora, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta. Almost a year into its existence, MIDAZ Senayan Golf continues to push the popularity of its unique and alluring Indonesian flavors.

Let’s get to know Ubay, Executive Chef of MIDAZ Senayan Golf. Chef Ubay explained that MIDAZ Senayan Golf serves various types of dishes with various variations that can accommodate the preferences of international audiences.

“Our menu at MIDAZ Senayan Golf comes from western, Asian and Indonesian. “But, what is more moving than all that is our Indonesian menu which is different from other places,” said Chef Ubay.

Ubay explains that the dishes he offers feel unique, because everything feels personal. In fact, there is a menu that is inspired by the dishes that his grandmother used to serve when he was little.

“We have Mrs Rani Soup on the menu. Well, Mrs Rani is my grandmother’s name. So, when I was little, my grandmother often cooked this soup, so in the end I made it a menu here, but I twisted it into my version. “The main thing is, Nyonya Rani Soup is beef tongue, yes, like oxtail soup,” said Chef Ubay.

“In the past, my grandmother only boiled beef tongue, here I make it different. The tongue is processed by slow cooking for three days at a temperature of 60 degrees until it becomes tender and the flavor is not too strong. “After that, we cook it with lots of spices and herbs,” he continued.

Not only that, MIDAZ Golf Senayan also offers a unique beef cheek menu. There is also a Nasi Nusantara menu which, even though it sounds very Indonesian, is processed with premium ingredients.

“So, we grill the beef cheeks and the grilling process here also uses a woodfire grill with rambutan wood. So, the smoky taste is more pronounced. We serve the beef cheek with grilled rice and chili sauce. “Our Nasi Nusantara is also interesting, because the basics are kecombrang rice, but the rice uses basmati, served with grilled prawns and rendang,” he said.

Another interesting thing is how MIDAZ Senayan Golf also really cares about local farmers in making dishes. Almost all the ingredients for the classy dishes served are obtained from farmers in the West Java area.
