Hello, friends especially foodies!


Everyone must wanna be more healthy but still eating tasty food. So to get both of these criterias i went back to Super Grain restaurant yesterday. Because i want to eat healthy low calories food and it was the only place which provides healthy low calories food, and no need to worry, it usually tasted good too. Now let me begin my foodiie adventure yesterday.


From the outside you could see that their restaurant was not large but looked warm with the touch of green color and natural color in it.

You could also see that there you choose a grain, then your sides and also a protein then add a sauce.

For the grain, you could choose what they had like furikake rice, pesto, ai funghi, cauli barley, fragrant basmati (i love it), or forbidden black rice.
For the sides, you could choose broccoli gremolata, grilled pumpkin, honey carrot, green beans, mushroom, babycorn aburi, chickpeas parsley, cherry tomato, eggplant tikka, baked cauliflower or grilled zucchini.
Near the grain i also saw some kind of their sauce like fiery matah, kecombrang chili paste, saigon kick and tzatziki.


While for the protein, they had charred steak, jerk chicken, cajun chicken thigh, soft boiled egg, miso torched salmon, soft boiled egg, or tempeh tikka.

I interested with their banner of super low calorie dishes which only contained 350 KCAL.. They were Risotto Shirataki Cream Mushroom with Chicken Steak, Shirataki Spicy Beef Ramen, Risotto Shirataki Cream Mushroom with Beef Steak, and Shirataki Chicken Shoyu Ramen.

Right next to their entry gate, there was a sofa which belongs to the take away customers or waiting list customers.

When i arrived there i was super glad because i didn't need to be on the waiting list and could straightly went to one of the sofa. For you to know it was 11.22 am and i needed to be there earlier or it would be full.

Their dining area had a retro simple style.

They put articial plants in pots at one of the top of one of its wall. They had soft and comfy sofas for all of their tables. The place was nice and comfy with good taste of western music they played. I loved to be there, the place not like a hurry place to have a dine in. I could relax there in eating my lunch.

On their menu book, you could see the choice to build your own bowl choices by choosing a chicken or a vegan bowl, a beef bowl or even a salmon bowl. These bowls consisted of choices of one grain, one protein, three sides and a kind of sauce.

They also had small bites and soup choices. They were corn & cheese, wheat arancini balls, tsukune vegan or chicken skewer, beef kofta bites, pumpkin soup, tomato soup, mushroom soup and miso salmon soup.

For their curated menu they had chicken bird tutu brown rice, steak up, samurai salmon pesto bowl, skinny fish red curry with lychee, beef baiana basmati rice set, beef hamburg ai funghi, the kingsmen, cajun birdie bowl, jerk chicken bowl, beef kofta bowl, Balinese fish lilit brown rice set (spicy), tempeh tikka bowl and plantiful skinny curry bowl (vegan and spicy).

And for the beverages they didn’t have many choices. They only mineral water, infused water, kind of soymilk, fresh 11 herb mocktail, kind of teas, and cold press juice.

They also had shirataki series like 4 kind of shirataki ramen with choices of chicken shoyu, beef shoyu, beef miso, and spicy beef. For the risotto shirataki they had choices of creamy shiratai risotto with chicken steak or beef steak or cheesy meatball. And they also had chicken shirataki noodle and javanese fried shirataki rice.


If you don't know about shirataki. I would like to tell you a bit about it. Shirataki is a type of Japanese Noodle or Rice that made from the konjac yam. It was gluten free, low in calories and of course it was healthy. It helps people maintain a moderate weight and improve digestive health.


Yesterday i ordered a drink with a main dish made of shirataki and later, i extra ordered a side dish.


Only a couple of minutes they spent to provide my drink. Yesterday i chose the less sugar and less ice for their ICED PEACH & LYCHEE TEA.

Like i ordered, it had less ice and also less sugar so the sweetness was light. It contained three lychees with no peach at all.. Only i could taste really light flavour of lychee and also peach. Nothing special with their tea, except it lots bitter than many kind of teas outside.


After around 15 minutes of waiting, my main dish was finally came to my table.

Ta da, here it was BEEF SHOYU RAMEN.

So weird that it looked a bit messy, right? I really wish that it wouldn't taste messy like it looked...

Then my wish came truth. It didn't taste messy at all. The texture of the shirataki noodle was chewy but soft. It looked transparent with shorter piece than regular noodle. The color of it was white transparent. It tasted light savory but i don't know why i loved it. It was really tasty and you should try this healthy noodle.

It also had tasty sliced beef which were soft and in enough amount. It had savory flavour and tasty too.


Like you could see this ramen was also completed with roasted seaweed, boiled egg, onion and weirdly onion skin which i couldn't eat. Overall their ramen, tasted good with authentic flavour and smell of Japanese shoyu.


Still a bit hungry i then ordered on of their side dish, corn & cheese.

The corn were boiled. Not warm at all. They served it with spicy mayonaisse which had spicy, sweet and sour flavour. And on the top of it, cheese. But the cheese only tasted light savory. So this side dish had a complete flavour of spicy, sweet, sour and savory.

For the price of the food and beverage i had was 140,718 IDR cause they had 7.5% service charge and 10% tax. For the total it was around 8.75 USD.


Of course i would like come again to this restaurant and try their tasty healthy low calorie menus and i also invite you to try them too!
