Jakarta Nightlife: E & O Bistro Bar

I suggested to G that we should go clubbing...however backed out as I was feeling too tired after a long day. We decided that we should still do something on a Saturday night and stop behaving like an old married couple- like surf some net, make out and then sleep.

As we didn't do any prior research of where to go, we headed down to concierge and asked them for some recommendations which are nearby.

Couple minutes later... we are at E & O (Easter & Oriental), just across the street and also one of the hippest places downtown. How did we missed it? Staying just a block away?! Beats me sometimes.

Anyway, I decided to skip beer this week and try a cocktail. I asked the bartender to make me something according to my preference- like not too sweet or sour.

Modern chic interiors.

Friendly bartender mixing the drink.

Final shake.

TAH-DAH! Think it is called Pink Lady.

G had Erdinger on draft and we both went on for one more round of whiskey before concluding our 'date'. We loved the ambience of the place and it was filled with lots of eye candies. Guess a good place for singles ;) It will also be a lovely place to go for a date as it is bustling yet not too noisy so you could still hear each other without yelling.

A total of four drinks and a bar snack came out to be about 700,000 IDR (70USD~). Coming from Singapore where alcohol prices are exorbitant, we thought the bill was pretty reasonable.

Overall

8.5/10. Great service, nice ambience, interesting drinks menu; you can bet to catch G and myself to frequent there regularly from now on.

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...

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. A mbience 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 yo...
