Dear fellow tasters,
It was before the Andrea Bocelli concert at Ritz-Carlton Pacific Place ballroom a couple of months back, that I decided to treat myself to a neapolitan dinner. Choice of place: Sopra, a recent addition to the Cucina Italiana ristoranti in Jakarta. The place is apparently snugged in a corner, just near Metro department store, not that spacious but with nicely-designed interior complete with a bar and black leather-clad dining area.

Dear fellow tasters,
This post is from my mobile photo archives and I found some from a new year’s brunch with my favorite couple friends. The place was Potato Head at Jakarta’s elite shopping mall Pacific Place, subdued and homey semi-outdoor colorful-wooden-windows-accented restaurant by day, cocktail-serving beat-pumping club by night.

Sandwich is probably a casual food that we usually have for breakfast or lunch. Even in most restaurants, it’s commonly featured as the second-class less-favorite non-specialty menu.

Dear fellow tasters,
It was the ladies from my former workplace who suggested this restaurant in the first place when it opened a branch at Citywalk Sudirman which is very close to their Sudirman office. Nanny’s Pavillon actually originates from Bandung but recently they’ve opened several outlets in Jakarta, each with different homey Western/French vintage theme. I’ve been to a couple outlets, the one in Citywalk with a living room theme and another one in Pacific Place with a bathroom theme (which I think is nicer). Continue reading
Dear fellow tasters,
It was several weeks ago on a Friday afternoon and after a week of discussing where to go for Friday lunch, my friends at work and I decided to go to Pacific Place, the latest addition to already-so-many fancy shopping malls here in the heart of Jakarta. The food court area there is actually pretty nice, with a marina theme, artificial ocean and weather-beaten wood flooring, offering a wide selection of restaurants and cafes to choose from. After wandering around the area, my colleagues and I finally chose Aji Tei, one of the many Japanese restaurants there.
