Loewy does brekky

We had these vouchers from a friend of mine inviting us to try Loewy's new breakfast menu. The voucher has been lying around on our dining table for a while so seeing as it is the start of a long weekend we thought we should give it a try.
And the verdict? Well location-wise, Loewy is such a nice restaurant, and you always have the option of eating outside which is a big thumbs up for us. The breakfast? it was ok, but for the price? err there are other places much worthy of our money for the quality of breakfast they dish out I mean, would you pay around 50,000rp for an assortment of bread, most of which you can find the exact same ones at Carrefour for 7,900rp? I think not. Would we come back again? we are loving the fact that we can sit out and enjoy the morning sun without the whole pollution thing but if it was purely for the food then perhaps not.

Paulaner comes to Jakarta

Last night was Paulaner's grand opening in Jakarta. We weren't invited (ahem ahem) but we were a little curious about it so we decided to take a little peek today after breakky. The inside was impressive, well the brewery anyway. The interior was nice but a little tough looking. All the dark furniture made the whole place look kinda dark all around during the day but maybe at night time the atmosphere is different.


We spotted a huge army tank parked right outside Paulaner before we came in and after asking some guys hanging around whether there was a war we weren't told about, the guys told us that a VIP was visiting the apartment building above Grand Indonesia and that the tank was on stand-by...some things still surprise us in Indonesia!

Let's Sushi-Tei it

We are loving Sushi Tei at the moment. In fact we are starting to go there on weekends for dinner or lunch. It's become a little on the obsessive side actually. I'm not sure why we never went here before as we are normally Sushigroove frequents. I guess I'm always a little turned off by the long queues, but as I recently discovered, Indonesians aren't the "lets have some good food and good conversation...and stay here a few hours" kind of people, they are more the..."lets have dinner quickly and go to a coffee shop for a few hours" type. So even if there is a queue of about 5-7 tables, we only wait a few minutes for our turn. And who doesn't love a good sushi train?
