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 purchase to eat there or bring it fresh home.

Prices ranged from 15,000idr/kg to 400,000idr/kg for fish( pompfrets, snappers, catfish, tilapia, groupers, etc) and 150,000-220,000idr/kg for shrimps. They also sell live lobsters for about 500,000idr/kg.  If you buy the seafood back home to cook it yourself, they might even waive off 20% on selected items.

On a side note, I did not notice any salmon or mackerels but you can get them in Indoguna (read post here). 

My friend A and I decided to have our lunch there. We ordered the Calamaris, Fried Snapper, Black Pepper Bamboo Clams and Stir fried Kang Kong and everything was delicious! 

You'd bet I'll be back there for more.

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...

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...
