During my visit to Jakarta on February 2017, I did manage to visit a neighbourhood Kamakura café, located in one of the hippest dining destinations in Jakarta, Pantai Indah Kapuk.
Kamakura was set in a simple, clean and minimalist manner, the neatly displayed magazines and the electric sockets at the tables were plus points!
Kamakura is currently under renovation, they're still building, decorating and adding details to the interior.

| Assorted Appetizers 3 varieties ( IDR 73k ) |
I'm quite lucky because during my visit, they're launching their new and fresh menu. At Kamakura Cafe, they always served the best they can. Generous portion for the appetizer. Taste wise and a good choice for a start up.
 |
| Carbonara Kamakura Style ( IDR 73k ) |
In here, you can choose your pasta style; S size ( 50 g ), M size ( 70 g ), L size ( 100 g ) or XL size (120 g).
The carbonara topped with crispy bacon, onions and some vegetables. It didn't go soggy at all like some other pasta, it was nicely al dente and held the sauce well.
 |
| Soft Shell Crab ( IDR 88k ) |
Use one whole crab for this portion, reasonably priced! The crab was some of the best I've ever tried. Perfectly steamed by Kamakura.
 |
| Genovese with Mix Seafood ( IDR 98k ) |
Topping shrimp, squid, shellfish, and many more make this plate a heaven of seafood. The seafood was so fresh, big yet tasty.
The service was totally awesome. Cozy and a good place for hanging out with friends or family. And yes, they also launched a various type of new dessert menu. Go try them!
