BAE BY SOCIEATY
Nestled beneath the bustling Senayan City, BAE is a friendly venue for everyone. You can pick a table in the open area or sit on an elegant dark sofa inside and feast your eyes on the wine display along the wall. The dining area features marble tabletops with the outdoor and indoor seating partitioned by sleek modernistic racks bursting with a variety of imported wines and liquors. Diners at BAE can pick from a menu of Asian and western dishes dreamt up by Executive Chef Robert Veendendaal.
Start your dinner with finger food like cassava nachos, which features local cassava chips as a substitute for corn chips, served alongside beef, salsa, jalapeno, cheese and sour cream. The famous bebek matah is another musttry dish here. The duck meat is cooked sous vide, resulting in incredibly moist and tender meat without losing any flavour. This is then combined with fragrant sambal matah with its mild, spicy kick to make it a crowd-pleaser. For dessert, BAE has something that tastes good and is also perfect for social media, the chocolate salted egg lava cake that has a gooey dark chocolate and yellow salted egg sauce that flows out from inside the cake. BAE is also proud of its drinks line-up. The bartender prepares signature cocktails, such as the 50 shades of Bae, a refreshing counter to Jakarta's heat. There is also a wide range of wines, as well as knowledgeable waiters to make wine-pairing recommendations, in line with BAE's concept of Wine & Bites, whereby each dish on the menu can be perfectly paired with wine.
