Local Steak House: Super Steak

It was one of those days; when we didn't feel like dressing up for dinner however too lazy to cook at home so we decided to check Super Steak out. I have been wanting to try this highly raved (by local bloggers) Steak House for a while- mostly out of curiosity and also for the experience.

You see, Super Steak is literally a Steak House... A house that serves steaks. The owner is selling grilled steaks right at his front porch of his home. The menu serves 3 types of beef and cuts- Angus(Imported) , Black Angus(Imported) and Local Beef; Sirloin, Ribeye and Tenderloin. Do not attempt to go there if you don't take beef as it is the only type of meat on the menu.

G had the Black Angus Sirloin(200g) with butter garlic sauce.
I decided to go for the Black Angus Ribeye(200g) with Cajun seasoning.


Small yet bustling throughout the evening.

I found the choices of seasonings or sauces most interesting as it is definitely not your mainstream type of sauces which you usually find in western restaurants. There are flavourings like Butter Garlic, Beerloin, Cajun, and five other more options to choose from. 

We found the steaks to be only slightly above average, definitely not anything mind-blowing; although we understand why the local Indonesians like it so much, the meats are very well-seasoned and savoury (enveloped by whichever seasoning you chose). Whereas if you like to taste the natural sweetness of your steak, you will not enjoy the steaks here as much.

We thought the ambience could be better improved, but perhaps the locals and Australians dig it because of how laidback it is-  like having a barbecue at one's backyard. Also, beware of mosquitos swarming around your legs.

The price is at no means cheap either, it costed an average of 200,000rp (~20usd) per person without alcohol. One could top up couple more dollars and have a steak in place with a nicer ambience. However I would still encourage one who's really bored of the usual dining options to give it try for a a different experience. Go with couple of friends whom you can have beers along with steak. :)

Manicure/Pedicure In Jakarta and Where to Go

I don't know if I am being overly critical or just plain fussy but I find that manicure and pedicure services in Jakarta are not up to par as compared to the other Asian cities like Bangkok, HongKong, and even Singapore! And by all means, the services aren't cheap as compared to overall standard of living locally. To have manicure/pedicure at somewhat a decent place with clean tools usually starts at 220,000 idr (22usd)...and you are not guaranteed OPI or internationally known brands. Nail salons at shopping malls will set you back about 450,000idr (45usd/52sgd)- funny how manicure in Jakarta cost the same in Singapore. Whoever said Jakarta is cheap?! Once, I accompanied my friend to a salon at Kemang where she wanted to have a hairwash and blowdry and I decided to have a manicure/pedicure there while waiting for her. The girl/manicurist came with a large plastic container (like the ones you store miscellaneous stuff in the wardrobe/storeroom) and inside it, the tools and ...

Birthstory: Giving Birth In Jakarta via natural delivery

Many friends and acquaintances I know are actually pretty skeptical about giving birth in Jakarta due to the lack of medical know-hows and emergency infrastructure locally. Hubby G and I decided to deliver in Jakarta after much consideration. (You may want to read about it here: Deciding To Give Birth in Singapore or Jakarta ) Couple of blog readers have been asking me about my childbirth experience in Jakarta and hubby G is also constantly pestering me to record the birth experience so that we won't forget in the future.(Birth amnesia is real~~ I am starting to forget details of my delivery with my first child) And also, for the sake of anyone like myself who's frantically trying to research about delivering in Jakarta; for those who has tried googling for e.g 'delivering in Jakarta', 'giving birth in Jakarta', 'experience childbirth Jakarta', 'natural birth jakarta', 'expat giving birth Jakarta', etc and yet got not much information i...

Part 3: Deciding to give birth in Jakarta or Singapore

A tough dilemma isn't it? Giving birth in Jakarta or Singapore has its pros and cons. We know of many expats and affluent Indonesians moms would fly down to Singapore to have their delivery there. After all Singapore's healthcare is unarguably one of the best of the region and the entire country runs efficiently. The price difference between delivering in Singapore's hospitals and the prestigious hospitals here in Jakarta is not that huge either; and of course Singapore's hospitals are definitely way better maintained so it does seem like a very attractive idea to deliver in Singapore. There's couple of considerations when hubby G and I were debating to give birth in Jakarta or Singapore. 1. Medical Care. How comfortable and confident we feel about the local hospital facilities? 2. Logistics. If I were to give birth in Singapore, it means I have to be there a month before I am due and only be able to fly back a month after I deliver. Plus minus..I ...
