Contemporary Menu at Wyl’s

If you’re looking for contemporary hotel dining in South Jakarta, here are some top recommendations from Wyl’s that are sure to delight your palate:

 

1. Mie Karet Aglio et Olio with XO Grill Prawn

Bold Asia-Italian Fusion Full of Surprises in Every Bite

This dish brings together two seemingly opposite culinary worlds: Asian-style mie karet (springy noodles) with Italy’s classic aglio et olio technique. In the hands of Wyl’s chefs, this combination becomes a tempting modern dish. The noodles are made with a wonderfully chewy texture and excellent flavor absorption, forming the perfect base for a simple yet enticing mix of garlic, olive oil, and chili.

What sets it apart is the grilled giant prawn, topped with XO sauce—an iconic Cantonese condiment known for its deep umami flavors, made from dried shrimp, scallops, and select spices. Grilling the prawn adds a smoky dimension that enriches the entire dish. Roasted cherry tomatoes not only bring color and texture but also a refreshing, balanced taste.

It’s a perfect menu item if you want to explore fusion cuisine without losing familiar flavors. Served warm with modern plating, it embodies Wyl’s vision of contemporary cuisine: innovative, delicious, and sensorially rewarding.

 

2. Oyster Sauce Chicken

Classic Comfort Food with a Modern Twist

For fans of rich, sweet-savory flavors, Wyl’s Oyster Sauce Chicken is a hard-to-resist choice. Premium chicken pieces are cooked to maintain tenderness and juiciness, then coated in a special house-made caramelized oyster sauce that’s thicker, smoother, and full of nuanced flavor.

The real surprise lies in the subtle addition of herbs and spices in the sauce: hints of lemongrass, a touch of coriander leaf, even traces of curry leaf, creating an unusual yet familiar flavor profile for the Indonesian palate. It’s comfort food in a new form—warm, satisfying, and appetizing.

Its modern plating moves away from rustic home-style presentation, making it ideal for upscale hotel dining. Served with fragrant rice or mashed potatoes, it’s highly recommended for a quick lunch or a relaxed, high-quality dinner.

 

3. Char Kway Teow with Bone Marrow

Classic Street Food with a Luxurious Culinary Touch

 

If you love authentic street food but want to enjoy it in a more refined, modern version, Wyl’s Char Kway Teow with Bone Marrow will become your new favorite. It starts with wide rice noodles stir-fried over high heat (wok hei), creating the signature smoky aroma of authentic char kway teow.

 

But Wyl’s elevates it with roasted bone marrow—creamy, savory, and intensely flavorful. The marrow melts over the hot noodles, creating a profound harmony between the caramelized sauce, the salty umami of soy sauce, and the naturally rich, silky marrow fat. The textures contrast yet come together beautifully, making every bite an exceptional experience.

 

Aside from being delicious, it also shows a statement of style. Mainly, how a simple, familiar street food menu can evolve with premium ingredients and refined techniques without losing its original soul. Perfect for adventurous eaters seeking something both familiar and extraordinary.

 

Enjoy a delightful dining and stay experience at Veranda Hotel Pakubuwono. With Wyl’s richly flavored contemporary dishes and the hotel’s comfortable, wellness-friendly atmosphere, you can savor culinary moments while fully relaxing.
