The Frog Game. El Juego de Sapo.

If you've been to the restaurant you might have seen this traditional Argentine game near the till and wondered what on Earth it was.

💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽This week has suddenly gone crazy for Suckling Pig orders, which is fine by us because Chef Pancho loves the opportunity to do one of these signature Argentine roasts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Basted in Chimichurri herbs and slow cooked for ages, we´ve had a table of 6 share the 5kg and a table of 10 so it just depends how hungry you and your guests are! With a couple of salads and side orders we say it can easily feed 8 people.😋 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just give us 24 hours notice, (and a small deposit), because we need to start prepping the day before. Time to find some pork-loving friends to hang out with! 💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sucklingpigjakarta #chinesenewyearjakarta #porkloversjakarta #nonhalal #eventsjakarta #porkjakarta
✨This is the new one in house! Its called Turron Salteño. If you have been watching our Instagram story then you will know how challenging it has been to get each element right. Its Aniseed pastry layers with walnuts and treacle meringue. Yes it sounds simple, but I had to make it a few times before I was completely happy with it. Nothing is as simple as it seems in the baking world! 🇦🇷In North Argentina you would likely find the Turron Salteño as an individual portion, but I just thought it looks so much nicier as a cake, and it works for the restaurant. 🍰It looks like the Rogel but the end flavour is really completely different and not like anything I´ve tried in Jakarta before. Creamy, crunchy, kind of licorice finish. You know where to find it. Its this weeks dessert special until it runs out! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Did you see us on the telly?! 🇦🇷✨🇦🇷✨ Chef Pancho and I told the story of La Posta and showcased our proudest steaks on the program "Viva La Carne". A First Media television production. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸 I'm never sure how Pancho is going to react when I tell him someone wants to photograph him and his food, I think most chefs don't like to have cameras in their faces when they're working, but just this time he said OK. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🙌🏽 We had a great time with the team whose presenter @jensmichael tried beef ribs, ribeye and flank steak along with some of our favourite desserts. Of course I told the story and actually it turned out ok. I guess my practise with Instgram stories came in useful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💘If you want to see the full program check out our Youtube channel.

Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this shot from @rothan007 of La Postas Salt Crusted Beef Ribs! ❤️❤️❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yes the beef ribs might not be as tender as some of the other cuts on the menu, but the flavour is outstanding, and it's a unique cut you won't find anywhere else in Jakarta. It's our signature steak! 💪🏽✨💪🏽✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . #lapostajakarta #argentinerestaurantjakarta #jakartasteak #jakartasteakrestaurants #lapostarestaurant #asadojakarta #smilesallround #jakartasteakhouse #steakhousejakarta #greatsteak #jakartafood
I decided officially that if I really want to try a place I won't rely 100% on the reviews, especially because today there is so much variation, I'll just try it. But if a place I'm looking at has a lot of good things written about it then it definitely sways me, and I'm sure that's true for you too. ✨💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you for keeping us top of the list in Trip Advisor (and other platforms!) 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽#nowjakarta #homemadefoodjakarta #jakartasteak #bestrestaurantjakarta #fridayjakarta #nightoutjakarta #steakcentraljakarta #jakartasteakhouse
🌿The last time we went to Argentina (2016) we arrived to Salta just in time for the “Fiesta de Guemes.” An annual celebration on 16th June when thousands of horsemen (and followers) from all over the country come together in full attire to remember the Gaucho traditions and particularly, Captain Guemes’ part in winning the fight for Argentine independence. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐴It really is an incredible sight to see hundreds and hundreds of Gauchos mounted on their horses, proudly parading the streets. You can see in one of the photos they still wear their Facon on the waist and wear their identifying cape or “Poncho”. Each region has a different style and colour of cape, you can see in one of the photos they carry signs stating the region of Argentina they have come from – some ride hundreds of miles for the event! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏠The photo with the white building in the background is the Gauchos stopping outside a replica of a “Posta” in Salta. Here they stop for a rest before continuing the parade. It was exciting for me to see this “Posta” because I’d never seen one in real life before, and of course, our restaurant is named after this stopping place. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🥩At the end of the day there are huge “asados” oragnised by the local government, and the Gauchos play their guitars and sing folk songs as they keep warm around bonfires (its cold in Argentina in June!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨If you got this far then just to say thank you for reading and hopefully you’ve learnt something new and interesting, if you missed the other posts, just click on our account to see the series about the Gauchos. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lapostajakarta #gauchoargentino #simplelife #argentinosenyakarta #lapostastory #thejourneyoflife #steakhousejakarta #argentinesoul #gaucho
✨How can you not love a pasty! Every country in the world has their version and the Argentines exceed in the variety of fillings and styles of folding. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Panchos empanada recipes have been used for years, maybe even nerly a century! From where his Uncle and Father first started their restaurant in Salta Argentina. And they're just as delicious today as I'm sure they were then. An Argentine staple. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lapostajakarta #argentinerestaurantjakarta #jakartasteak #jakartasteakrestaurants #lapostarestaurant #asadojakarta #smilesallround #jakartasteakhouse #steakhousejakarta #greatsteak #jakartafood
🌿 The Gaucho Story Part 4.... People said that the Gaucho had a sixth sense, because even in the dark they could tell the proximity of water. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌳Argentine was very rural land in the 1800s and many areas of thick forest, growth and rivers were considered unpassable, but the Gaucho on horseback journeyed through without problem. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🕊Because of this skill the Gaucho was often required as a messenger. They were able to arrive at their destination with speed and precision “faster than a messenger pigeon” it was claimed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🛑 There were not many places for the Gaucho to stop when he was on a long journey, but every now and then he would come across a “Posta.” A place where he could rest his horse, meet other horsemen and have something to eat or drink, regaining his energy for the journey ahead. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨That is really what we are trying to recreate with La Posta, a place where you can take some time out of your journey, enjoy something simple to eat and drink, and unite with friends or meet knew ones who have joined here for the same reason. It’s a place to feel welcome when you are away from home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lapostajakarta #gauchoargentino #simplelife #argentinosenyakarta #lapostastory #thejourneyoflife #steakhousejakarta #argentinesoul #gaucho
💕Alfajores de maicena. Simple little cornflour biscuits with a caramel filling and desiccated coconut. Love these little biscuits! 🇦🇷 These the first Argentine desserts that I made. They are such a classic in Argentine, served with coffee when you go to a coffee shop, and sold in all tourist shops as a souvenir. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The ingredients and method are really quite simple, what is complicated (especially here) is dealing with the temperature. You have to make sure the pastry doesnt get too hot as you are cutting out the biscuits because it starts to melt! and when you are putting them togtether if they get too warm, they crumble! Learning to perfect them has been both fustrating and satisfying at the same time.🤦🏼‍♀️✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #jakpostlife #dessertsjakarta #dulcedelechejakarta #sweettreats
🌿The Gaucho story! Part 3....One of the Gauchos few treasured possesions is the "Facon", a knife with a large heavy blade worn on the horsemans waist, often beautifully adorned with metal and sometimes with a length of up to 50cm! Used for everything from skinning hunts to cleaning boots and fighting. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ These days rather than revenge attacks, the Gaucho wears this useful knife for daily tasks around the ranch. While in town houses you will find at least one Facon, an essential tool, used during the "asado" (barbecue) to slice the meat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🥩 We have a few of these Facons at our place, they're a proud possesion for the Argentines, Pancho's brother uses his for fishing, while If we are doing an asado at home, Pancho will undoubtedly get out his Facon and give it a loving polish before using it to eat. It is one of the first gifts that Pancho gave to my dad and I think it really symbolises Panchos desire for my dad to accept him and his culture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lapostajakarta #gauchoargentino #simplelife #argentinosenyakarta #lapostastory #thejourneyoflife #steakhousejakarta #argentinesoul #gaucho
