Dinner at Union (Plaza Senayan Courtyard)

After almost an hour of traffic, we arrived at Super Steak. To our dismay, it was closed...

Due to my sudden dyslexia, I didn't spot that it was listed on the website that the restaurant is closed on Monday. *Angst* Needed a quick plan change since we were on a cab; we headed to Union at Plaza Senayan which was nearby.

Union is highly raved in Tripadvisor and some online portals, hence I was looking forward to some good food.

Tucked away in Departmental Store Sogo. 1st Floor.

Nice interior and ambience.


Melon & Mint Smoothie. Looks unassuming but taste like everything. Amazing.

Crispy Pork Belly with Mustard Vinaigrette. Beef Burger. Tiramisu.
Ambience
Lovely. We noticed that there's more females than males in the restaurant. Perhaps the assortment of sweets and cocktails are more appealing to us, the sweeter gender *snicker*. The decor is tastefully done in classy oakwood and the lights are dimmed nicely. The place was bustling; great if you like to be out there and people-watch. The decor reminded us of another restaurant- Loewy which is at Mega Kuningan.

Food Quality
Not blown away as it's expected from the steeper price point in local context. I loved the smoothie and Tiramisu. I liked the wings but G found it nothing special. We weren't very impressed with the mains; or perhaps our choices of mains are not the popular dishes. The Pork Belly was nice however I started to feel a little sick once I got to the third slice. I would recommend you to share this dish although it's a main. 

Service
Service was average. The servers were not as attentive as we expected them to be in such a restaurant.  

Price
The bill was about 750,000idr (about 75usd), inexpensive as compared to the western countries and countries like Singapore however leaning towards steep for the locals. 

Overall 
7/10. We would definitely return again with friends and order more variety for sharing. Great spot to people watch for amusement. ;)

Ikkousha Japanese Ramen in Jakarta

We were craving for something soupy the other day; Indonesian food is mostly fried. We decided to check out the ramen store- Ikkousha. We went to the branch in Senayan City but they have couple of outletsIt is supposed to be a franchise from renowned ramen chain in Japan. I was feeling a bit skeptical of halal ramen-  you know great ramen broth is usually stewed from pork bones. The ambience is pretty nice and its attempt to make it look japanese is not bad. Miso Ramen Some spicy egg broth ramen, surprisingly tasty! Chicken Karage The outcome? I was surprised that it was pretty good! Of course it lacks the oomfph of the usual thick pork broth but they got the taste as well as the ramen right. I found the spicy egg broth really delicious and satiable to my soup craving; it's quite spicy though. The prices are also reasonable, costing about 80,000IDR (8USD) per bowl. Since we live only couple minutes away, we will definitely be coming back here quite regula...

Facial Treatment at Miracle Aesthetic Clinic (Kemang, Jakarta)

I am sure those who frequent Kemang will not fail to see the big white building with a huge signage- Miracle Aesthetic Clinic. For those who follow my blog, you will know that I am always on a lookout for a nice spa or beauty/facial places. Just as I was about to check out the clinic, Miracle Aesthetic Clinic dropped me a note to try out their treatments; great timing isn't it? :) Many of us will probably be very skeptical about trying aesthetic treatments in Jakarta or anywhere in Indonesia, after all Jakarta is not famous like Bangkok for beauty treatments. So on the Saturday before I left Jakarta for our holiday, I dragged Hubby G with me to check out Miracle Aesthetic Clinic. They offered a consultation before trying any treatments including facial. I met one of the aesthetic doctors and she took me through the list of available treatments the clinic offers- Botox, Fillers, IPL, Facial, etc. As usual, the cynical me checked with the doctor if the products are legitimate and...

Eat@Bali: Potato Head Beach Club at Seminyak

Our friends were telling us to visit Potato Head Garage when they learnt that we were visiting Bali; the food bloggers are also raving about this place in their blogs...so we decided to check it out. Arriving ten minutes prior to Potato Head's opening hour at 11am, we were refused by the security as well as the restaurant staff to enter the restaurant. I was trying to explain that we have a toddler who was very flushed from the heat and that we would just like to take a seat in the restaurant till they can take our orders at 11am...which is like 10 minutes away... No, we can't take a seat at the restaurant while we wait and the staff wanted us (G, a pregnant woman and a young toddler) to stand under the scorching hot sun for 10 minutes until the magical clock strikes 11am. The chairs, which were in the shade were just couple steps away, and NO..WE HAVE TO STAND UNDER THE SUN WHILE WE WAIT FOR THE MAGICAL OPENING HOUR.   I thought it was pretty ridiculous. I asked fo...
