MOONSHINE - Dine & Lounge Brings You East and West Flavor of a Twisted Cosmopolitan Cuisine

Moonshine

Life as a city dweller makes working and private life become blurry and people are unconsciously trapped in a work-life imbalance ecosystem. Enjoying food with a good crowd is probably the easiest answer to tackle that. If you are tired of the daily routine of going to the common places around the Mega Kuningan area, there’s a decent chance you may love this place for dining out and party. 

If you know, Moonshine - Dine & Lounge is not just a destination for bar and lounge, but it's more than that. In brief, it slowly has the potential to become Jakarta’s next great dining destination which has been percolating since late 2018. Things dim a bit a little later, but by then you’re already calibrated for an evening feasting to go through the night.

The long dining room is splashed with adornments of vintage and modern pieces. On one side, there are seducing chandeliers that look like upturned lampshades gleaming in red-blooded color. Meanwhile, the interlocking black and white floor tiles carry super-luxe connotations. The leather sofa seats are calibrated appropriately where you best secure the spot to enjoy the live bands or DJ performances at the entertainment booth.

On the other side of the room, a cinematic bar is over your shoulder, set with gleaming golden lights and a few seats facing illuminated shelves. There are a couple of low-back stools and low-end dining tables to perch on. Plus, there’s a little arched door with a few mini stairs leading up to the VIP room.

The dining menu is well made with enough variety to appeal to individuals and groups. With multi-sensory delight to ignite the senses on a bold journey of east and west flavor, MOONSHINE - Dine & Lounge twists a cosmopolitan cuisine with a touch of Indonesian flair. There are enough options to choose from and they are pleasurably fine to offer a satisfying complete meal. 

Savoring the Pan Seared Crusted Salmon would be an ideal option. It has a crispy-crusted surface demonstrating the technical skill of using the breadcrumb and parsley right. The more you're into it, the more you feel the zesty acidic sensation given by the caramelized lemon and the lemon butter sauce. The dish is served with mashed potato, baby corn, green beans, and cherry tomatoes to fulfill the color coordinate and texture effects.

Moonshine - Dine & Lounge’s steak is also sensational. The Grilled Australian Beef Striploin is finely presented with a modest approach. It is daintily arranged with vibrant mixed veggies plus a choice of sauce either is it mushroom or black pepper sauce, and thick-cut fries as a side. With the right method of grilling, the meat has a prudently juicy interior enrobed with a decent texture of the muscles on the edge.

Another signature to try is Moonshine Burger. Plenty of similarly artfully stacked burgers are as nice to look at as they are hard to hold, but this one is surprisingly easy to handle. Whether you want to enjoy it in your grip or by slicing it with the knife, it just gives different sensations. The homemade buns bring out the beef patty’s deep, subtly tasty notes, and it’s juicy enough. This unending burger experience will reach its climax once you taste the bacon, fries, and gherkin pickles then run over from a cup that comes with their signature cheese sauce made from cheddar, what a good mess.

Duck Confit has a good texture full of taste on its leg’s landscape. The inner meat is tender enough under the surface, even with a skin that’s more crusty than crisp. The presentation is also really nice, as rich and buttery as hoped for the potato gratins, smoky savory grilled lettuce, and a fun and spritely caramelized apple for the sweet notes.

For a taste of classic Indonesian fares, Oxtail Fried Rice is up for the game. The home-style fried rice is cloaked with a sunny side up, Indonesian pickles, green chili, and melinjo chips. The superstar itself the tender oxtail can be chosen either grilled or fried, each version has a distinctive flavor and is best left to those who have acquired the mood.

The cocktails are mostly taken on a decent approach. Coffee Negroni for instance which incorporates Gin, Campari, Vermouth, and one shot of espresso really makes you linger until the last drop. This amplified negroni with a more recent buzz from espresso is suitable for after-work drink rituals.

Continue on with fancy cocktails, Sugar Daddy with vodka, triple sec, lime, Yakult, and strawberry is just lovely and unique enough to taste each one’s slight sweetness both here and from the sugar rim. Meanwhile, Lychee Berry Mojito is so refreshing. Made with a subtly interesting combination of rum, lychee, berry, vanilla, lime, lime wedges, and mint leaves, the concoction is suitable wherever you’re having dinner.

Those cocktails that really sealed the deal are joined by delicate mocktails. Pineapple Blossom is a sweet, beachy libation that looks ahead to summer. The pineapple, lychee, elderflower, and citrus give a refreshing note meanwhile the subtle hint of ginger really elevates a warm kick. Inspired by Hawaii, Tiki Raspberry presented in the tiki mug is concocted from orange, pineapple, cranberry, grenadine, soda, and lemon. It’s the right drink to deliver proper pops of sweetness.

Moonshine - Dine & Lounge, in general, is a great destination after work. It's sliding over way more reach as a dining destination for dinner to boost your energy until late when the crazy party begins.
