This was actually not my very first experience with Six Ounces as years ago I’d been to their Kelapa Gading outlet. Yeah, those good old days when I was still so much into food hunting and having my endless energy to try anything new that Gading seemed not that far away. Or perhaps to be fair, I hadn’t moved to BSD, which made it even more painful going to Gading and fighting against the traffic.
Ok, cutting the story short, I was beyond grateful knowing that Six Ounces opened their brand new outlet in Dharmawangsa. Not only it’s now a lil bit closer, but also the venue design was astonishing! Just by entering the parking space, you could already tell it had something peculiar. Carrying out wooden theme, the venue looked like serving a spacious front yard to dine in, surely not a common ambiance to find out elsewhere in Jakarta recently. The iconic vespa right next to the entrance door of the indoor space would surely be the attention catcher, making an Instagenic spot for the visitors.
Stepping into the fully air-conditioned room, it felt so ‘Christmassy’ as they tried decorated the place with this December most-favorite theme. I did love how they combined sofas at some corners with arrays of normal chair at the center, crafting a comfy space to kill long time while enjoying the abundant choices of foods the house served.
Truffled Mushroom Cream Ravioli (IDR 90k)
I knew the cakes displayed in the chiller had stolen my attention from the beginning, yet I was trying to still find a main course to start my dining set. Spotting some menu that got me hooked, my decision finally fell on this creamy pasta as it carried the first name of truffle. Moreover, when I was stuck in my dilemmatic moment, the guests next to me actually had this dish sitting nicely on their dining table, seemed to call me to give it a try. Well, that live visual did help a lot as the food’s appearance as well as scent were highly tempting especially for those who fancied both pasta with creamy sauce and truffle as much as me.
Being kinda pricey, actually the portion was fulfilling enough for my preference. The spinach-filled ravioli was cooked al dente, and impeccably complemented by the sautéed mushroom which gave richer taste to the overall dish. The truffle cream sauce was also lovely and I was pleased by the touch of parmesan, which made it more flavorful. Despite the dish might sound pretty simple, yet I enjoyed it a lot and I would recommend to you who had the same liking as me to opt for it.
Nutella Bombolone (IDR 35k)
Hey you the first heart-catcher! Yep, the one who got me hitched when I accidentally saw it on my Instagram. The snap of that overflowing Nutella was surely hypnotizing. If some of you thought I was over exaggerating, well you might not understand how Nutella holic would react. Despite also being a chocolate-sprinkles lover, this time I needed to let that buddy gone as the Nutella one got me sold!

Well, honestly speaking I did think this bombolone was quite overpriced, but what’s wrong in giving it a try? Or perhaps you might say I couldn’t resist to have it once it’s there right in front of my sight, suddenly turning me into price-inelastic consumer.
I would call it heavenly piece as the Nutella filling was indeed so generously served, despite the doughnut itself was slightly greasy. I guessed having that much Nutella on my palate could help compensating all other flaws this bombolone had. Ohhh I wish I could have another version with peanut butter filling, or perhaps the mix of Nutella and PB??!?
Hot Cappuccino (IDR 38k)
Knowing that Six Ounces was a coffee specialist, I wouldn’t miss the chance to sip my morning caffeine dose there. Though at first I was almost tempted to try their other unique beverages such as the smoothies, the mocktails creation, or even the coffee-based beverage that they mixed with other ingredients; I ended up set my mind to be consistent with going for the basic one, Cappuccino.
Being quite worried if it would be acidic as the smell seemed to tell that, surprisingly the taste was just like how I loved it! Medium-bodied coffee with bold flavor, yet only being slightly sour on the crema but the coffee taste itself perfectly suited me.
Iced Yakult Lychee (IDR 35k)
If you’re not that much into coffee, you needn’t worry as they did provide various choices of mocktails. While Yakult Lychee might sound quite mainstream, the signature version of Six Ounces was quite different, with stronger hint of lemon. I wasn’t sure if it’s indeed mixed with lemon, yet I found the taste was citrusy, more sour than the other Yakult Lychee I’d ever tried earlier, but in a good way that I liked. The lychee taste did help giving a bit touch of sweetness to the refreshing drink.
Although I just tried very limited variants from the menu, the great experience surely made me wanna go back. I did enjoy the warm service, the cozy atmosphere, and the delectable dishes. Next time I would certainly go for their smoothie bowls, which had stuck in my mind by the time I read it as it featured peanut butter and chocolate <3.
