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. ;)

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...

Buy and Eat Cheap Seafood in Jakarta: Everfresh Seafood

Alright I've already shared the other day on where you can get cheap and good imported meat ( read post here if you have not).  Now I'll complete the meat loop and share where you can get great and fresh seafood in Jakarta without damage to your wallets! You'd have to check out Everfresh Seafood. Sounds cheesy? I know right..but who cares when you can finally stop buying old stale fish from the supermarkets in Jakarta or stop being ripped off at 'Bule' stores. You will probably need a good driver and sharp eyes to spot the place. Very inconspicuously hidden. An array of fish and other seafood. You can pick your seafood, how you want it cooked and they'll cook it on the spot! When you enter the place, you will notice that there's mostly locals, which is a very good sign that the price will not send you a panic attack.  Besides the seafood on display(as shown above), there's also aquariums keeping the live fish and prawns which you can...

Third Trimester: Pregnant Working Mom

PREGNANCY GLOW? SERIOUSLY... I think media has painted such an unrealistic expectation of pregnancy. Perhaps I should be thankful or grateful that I have been getting quite a number of compliments on how well I look during my pregnancy. However that doesn't ease any of the numerous discomfort that I am feeling. Once my back was aching so much and I was in so much misery that even a compliment from my big boss makes me feel like throwing a pan at him. I know he's just trying to be sweet and cheer up this grouchy pregnant lady's day..ah well.. when a pregger feels bad, she's all grumpy. Pregnancy changed my entire perspective on women or rather mothers and also increased my respect/admiration for pregnant working moms. I am currently at my 34 weeks, still working however finding it gradually tougher to last past half the day. I am definitely looking forward to my maternity leave in three weeks' time. I really wonder how some women managed to work all the ...
