Some of the most interesting new restaurants are located in South Jakarta and one of them is Bistronomi. The restaurant doesn’t have a noticeable sign yet, but it’s already looked appealing from the outside. I was in awe with the garden at the entrance which you don’t find often in Jakarta. It added a sweet [...]

I had my monthly ladies arisan at The Cafe @ Pistos, the place was small but homey. The simple sleek and bright cafe is a perfect place for hanging out. The other side of the cafe is a jewelry store,so dine and shop is obviously the concept of this place. Rocket with smoked Salmon & [...]

When I stepped inside the Red at Kemang Village, I was immediately taken by it’s whimsical interior. The laid back but beautiful garden styled restaurant created a great place to spend time with family or any other dining occasions. The service here was also splendid with good knowledge about the menu. My food testing at [...]

Not many people familiar with Ratatouille until the Disney movie came out. I admit, it’s a catching and interesting name for a restaurant. My first impression of the place was quite nice. The garden-styled Parisian-French inspired interior is cute and young spirited. The waitress’ knowledge about the menu was pretty good, but the service still [...]

Huize Van Wely is one of the few earliest generation of fine dining place in Kemang that still amazes me till today. As a part of the extravagant Papilion building, this place’s minimalist interior has a cozy home-like feeling that’s perfect for a relaxing meal/high tea. They also has a superb reputation for cakes and [...]

Kopi Kitchen is a part of the new restaurants in Kemang Village Mall. The black and  white ‘squekie clean’ appearance was interesting,it sets itself apart from the other eateries in the area. Too bad the service wasn’t perfect (which wasn’t surprising thinking that they just opened recently).The waitress didn’t really have any good knowledge about [...]

If it wasn’t for my friend’s suggestion,I would never thought that I’d found such a nice restaurant in fX’ntertainment center. As far as I know,the mall was full of fast food restaurants and outlet stores. Tjap Toean’s look immediately ‘Wow’ed me. The Chinese style interior was already cute and eye catching, but the more I [...]

This is Seribu Rasa’s second establishment, after the success of the original place in Menteng. Similar to the other place, this eatery was designed to generate the feeling of the classier version of Indonesian/Southeast Asian fusion eatery. Hokianese Spring Roll (IDR 35.000): Deep fried Spring roll made with rice flour wrapper filled with sauteed vegetables [...]

Located in the Intiland building in Sudirman (ex Dharmala building), the new restaurant stood out among the old surrounding. The interior wasn’t actually extraordinary,but the vibe was nice. Surprisingly the spacey place was packed on lunch time, I guess people has already heard about this newly born restaurant. The service was helpful, but wasn’t very prompt. For [...]

One of the things that I like the most about living in Jakarta, is the varieties of noodles that we got to choose from, and this one is another eatery that we should be proud of. Owned by Indonesian’s veteran chef William Wongso, Miitem offers a melting pot of Indonesian colorful taste with international flavor. [...]

I recently went to Makan Makan restaurant, a big three storage building that specialized in Sundanese cuisine. The basement and the second floor are saved for large party events, while the main floor is where the normal dining tables are. The all white interior decor was clean and simple. Large floating empty frames added a [...]

The Goods Cafe and Department store has moved from Plaza Indonesia to Pacific Place mall. The eatery here is less spacey than the old one, but still crowded none the less. When I went there, they still offered their Trial Menu. It had new and different choices that’s worth to try. Beet Root Salad (IDR [...]

Located on the newly formed ‘Beauty’ 4th floor, Madame Lily looks mesmerizing with Grey and White colored theme, the mini crystal chandeliers added the sparkled accent. I was intrigued by the high tea selection on the menu, but because it was lunch time, I had to hold that thought for some other time. The food [...]

I’ve heard of this Bandung originated restaurant for quite some time now, but since I haven’t had the chance to visit the original place, I was eager to stop by Hummingbird’s Jakarta branch that was just open in Kuningan City. The restaurant was a breath of fresh air inside the still empty, large, newly opened [...]

It’s always a pleasure to see a brand new restaurant inside an elite mall such as Plaza Indonesia, so I was interested to taste what Lada Merah has to offer. From the appearance, this spacey Indonesian restaurant has fun and fresh design, simple wooden with dominant colors of green plus the floral antique style floor tiles are [...]
