Thanks to the Local Guides community, I have many friends from Latin America just like @FaridTDF @Jesi @Cecilita @SilvyC , and many other Argetinian Local Guides. I was lucky to meet some of them in person before 
I learnt a lot about Argentina, including the cities, destinations, culture, and of course about the FOODS!
Since I havenāt had any Argentinian dining experience yet, thatās why when I knew about this Argentinian restaurant in Jakarta, I would love to visit this restaurant.
The day was finally coming when we had lunch at Sudestada, an Argetinian and Latin grill, bar, and cafe at the same place. This restaurant is located in the corner part of a residential area in Menteng where the street parking is available along this not too wide street. They have both of the indoor and outdoor area. The indoor area is so light with the tall and big transparent windows that make the natural light āentersā this indoor area.
There is also second floor with few tables. It is so beautiful to capture the interior of the first floor from the second floor, especially with the natural light from the sunlight 
The chef here is a native Argetinian, so no wonder that we could enjoy the authentic and delicious Latin foods here. Sudestada serves variant of pizza, empanadas, appetizers, sausages, sandwiches and wraps, rice and pasta, steak, desserts, as well as alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. The foods are suitable for sharing.
Here are what we tried :
Hand-Cut Beef Empanadas
The deep fried empanadas that are similar with Singaporean curry puff filled with abundant of hand-cut beef with crunchy texture. It is served with the thin tomato sauce. A recommended snack and starter!
Matambre
Sudestadaās signature dish as the part of appetizer. Since this is a meat dish, for me it is more like a main dish rather than an appetizer 
This is a grilled rose meat where the thin layer of meat is put between the ribs and skin, served with the olive oil. Somehow the tender texture is more like chicken rather than beef.
Fish & Chips
Well, this could be one of the non Latin dish that we had, but since we saw on the social media that the portion is big with interesting photo, so we decided to have this one 
And yes, the boneless deep fried fish comes up with big size, served with the French fries, salad, and pink tartar sauce.
Flan De Caramelo
Flan is a Spanish caramel custard pudding. It is served with dulce de leche separately. Finally, I could try dulce de leche that is an Argetinian caramel. I love both of the flan and dulce de leche with less sweet taste rather than the usual caramel.
Gunung Halu in Kalita Wave
Again, this is a non Latin menu that I had. That afternoon, I really need caffeine, pure black coffee precisely. Thatās why, I was so excited when I found out that Sudestada also serves manual brew with variant of Indonesian single origin that we could choose. I chose Gunung Halu from West Java with medium body and acidity using kalita wave method. The staff will brew the coffee directly on our table.
Overall, it was a good Argentinian dining experience with a nice place, delicious foods, and friendly service as well.
Have you tried Argetinian food before?
What is your favorite and recommendation?
- Sudestada looks like quite the exquisite experience,

) arenāt used to spicy things, or to putting sauces in our empanadas, but I recently travelled to the northwestern part of the country and they served empanadas with a red spicy sauce.
