Yaudah Bistro

This restaurant is located in Menteng, which honestly hard to recognize for those pay their first visit. There is no sign platted around the area and the only trademark is the big yellow painted wall with a red circle in the center which rather can be misleading as a Japanese Restaurant. Furthermore, the name of this restaurant really represents as if it was serving Indonesian food, but do not get it wrong. It's actually a German's restaurant.

They serve typical German's food such as bratwurst, schnitzel, some pasta and you can also get some assorted bread to bring home. Their menu range is quite big I might say, from English breakfast until Italiano pasta. However, one of my friends, who had tried the food for couple times, told us that their signature dish must be the pork dish. Hence, a plate of Winner Schnitzel was included on our lunch that day. Beside, we also ordered beef bratwurst, luncheon meat, and grill breast chicken.

Luncheon Meat and Sunny Side Egg

The luncheon meat is a normal pork luncheon meat sold in supermarket. My friend chose the wrong dish, I think. She was disappointed too. However, the mashed potato was nice and creamy. This actually one of the reason why I like to hunt German's restaurant, because most of the time, the mashed potato doesn't fail my taste bud. The creaminess is just perfect, but unfortunately Ya Udah bistro version it's too bland for me.

Beef Bratwurst

The best known German's signature dish is probably bratwurst. The dish is easily accepted food for many people, simple, versatile and of course, meaty. Ya Udah bistro rendition was nicely seasoned, tender and big. They offer several choices for the sausage, including pork, chicken and beef. Like most bratwurst platter servings, they also added caramelized onion on it and tasted nice too.

Winner Schnitzel

One of our orders had different side dish, it was hash brown. Unfortunately, the hash brown was rather not crispy and too soggy. I think they put to much "glue" in it that make the potato itself did not stand out. On the other hand, the pork schnitzel was indeed the winner. Big size, crispy batter, tender and nicely seasoned.

Grilled Chicken Breast

This was my order and I should really have listened to my sister when she told me not to order their steak. It was so dry and tasteless. Well, it's chicken breast anyway which indeed dry and fat-less. But I think it's to dry and besides, they put too much butter which made it too oily instead of nice fatty flavour.

Overall, we had a quite good meal there with good companies too. The food is pretty decent if you choose the correct dish and big in portion with reasonable price. Next time I will definitely choose their pork dish range over other dishes. However, many reviews show that their roast chicken and pork knuckle are to die for, but it will take 1.5 hours to cook because those are slow cooking dish. So if you wish to order those, you can order 1.5 hours prior your visit.
