My family and I have never fancy All-you-can-eat type of restaurant, except my brother. Merely because we don’t eat so much. But yesterday my dad just came back from Jakarta and wanted to have a chat with his friend, so we headed off to Hanamasa restaurant since Mom didn’t cook.

Hanamasa restaurant has been in the town for 7 years (since 2001) and this was my first time dining there. Told you I didn’t eat that much. It is so rugi (such a loss) to bring me eating at all-you-can-eat restaurant. But if you insisted wanna treat me, I don’t mind.

The place is not so crowded yesterday. Only a few tables were filled. Oh well, weekday.

It is a so-called Japanese restaurant, all you can eat type with self service. There is Yakiniku (grilled meat) and Syabu-Syabu (steamboat). A friend to Seoul Garden. The location is at K.H. Zainul Arifin road No. 199, not far from Sun Plaza and opposite the Cambridge condominium.

Let’s start from appetizer section. Er, I’m not a fans of salad so I’ll pass this one.

Picture was taken after 8.30pm, hence the meat was almost finished.

This is part of yakiniku section. I’ll pass this one too cause I don’t eat beef. The other part is non beef, i.e. chicken, squid, prawn, fish, etc.

The shabu – shabu section.

This the Robatanyaki section where we pick the menu and the chef will grill for us. The waitress will deliver it to our table.

Now, grilling / bbq part. I prefer Seoul Garden’s grill pot than this one. Seems to be safer without the holes.

Not to forget the steamboat.

Excessive amount of seafood consumption will result in a I-had-more-than-enough situation.

To cure this jelak (sick) feeling, let’s eat some dessert. If don’t want fruits, there is pudding.

If not, we can make an es campur (mixed ice) ourselves.

We grill, we eat and tend to forget about grill-in-progress meat. Resulting in a gosong (burnt) pot.

Now, bill time. For adult, all you can EAT and DRINK (soft drinks) is at IDR.76.500, excluded 10% tax. After tax, it is IDR.84.150 per person. Cheaper than Seoul Garden. But menu wise, Seoul Garden has more varieties than Hanamasa.
