If you are a Jakarta resident, you must’ve heard of Sate House Senayan. This has been a family business that has been around for many many years. Their famous Indonesian cuisines has now been extended into a new venture of higher class restaurant named Tesate. Made famous by their Chicken Satay, Tesate has broader traditional Indonesian [...]

How do I love this restaurant?? Big time! Since it’s opening in 2009 , I’ve been coming back here countless times, Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Dinner, Supper you name it! I’ve tried it all. Located in front of Pacific Place Mall, this stylish, hip and cute (Toy Story-ish interior) place keeps you in a happy mood. But Two [...]

Right after we finished lunch at Take, we went to Sate Penyu Lapangan Trisakti which is just around the corner. It’s located on an empty space that looks like a parking lot. We heard their satay’s really good, so we order some of their sate penyu (turtle satay) and we weren’t disappointed. Its tender meat [...]

As we’re exiting Universal Studios Singapore after a 3-hours amusing run to try as many rides and shows as we can before the park closed, we saw a small but interesting popcorn shop. The sign said Garrett Popcorn Shops, a chicago tradition since 1949. Suggested by the girl at the counter, we tried the chicago [...]

Early this month, I went to The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands during our leisure trip to Singapore. After striding the mall for an hour, I saw this nice french style TWG (The Wellness Group) tea garden, and I immediately fell in love with it and decided to have high tea there. After looking through [...]

When it comes to durian in Singapore, the first place that comes to my mind is Geylang. It’s actually a red light district in Singapore, but they also have many late night food and durian stands on the side of the street. Right on Lor 17 Geylang (I just found out that Lor is the [...]

The minute I set foot on this white surroundings restaurant, it reminded me of the romantic set in the Titanic movie. The stairs was decorated with heavy nautical ropes & life rings. The main floor was even more beautiful. Large area of dining tables with the view of Ubud Bridge, surrounded by Bali’s big old [...]

We stopped by Metis on our latest visit to Bali, it was around 3 pm but surprisingly some of the tables were fully reserved. As a dessert fanatic, I immediately checked the back section of the lunch menu & was disappointed to found out that they only serve the Soufflé for dinner! So I settled [...]

I’ve almost lost hope in finding budget friendly new restaurant with great food and nice ambience to go to, when I heard Tin Pan Alley from a friend. Three words to describe this family friendly restaurant: Worth Every Penny! When I first entered the restaurant, it looked like any other dimmed lighted eateries places in [...]

Again, after looking for a place to eat at Paris Van Java out of the many selections there, our choice fell on SushiGroove.  I have to blame my appetite preference or should I say, my fondness on Japanese food for this decision. SushiGroove, one of Ismaya group restaurant concepts, is a restaurant-chain with several locations [...]

It was a lazy sunday for me, waking up around 11 and having a really late breakfast at home. Later in the afternoon, on my quest to find an appetizing lunch, I noticed a newly-opened cafe, Porto, and decided to give it a try. Having Red Salad as appetizer really started it all. The veggies [...]

During my latest visit to Singapore, I finally got a chance to drop by Boon Tong Kee to try out their infamous chicken rice.  They have several branches throughout Singapore, but we went to the one on Balestier.  The place is like typical small chinese eatery with the regular atmosphere of a Hongkong restaurant. After [...]
