ANNOUNCEMENT: Cinco de Mayo!!
Just got an invite to JW Marriott‘s CINCO DE MAYO on May 5. It sounds like so much fun with a latin music, Margaritas & Mojitos together with the cuisine that I’ve been missing the most here in Jakarta – MEXICAN!
Read MoreResto Rave: Birdcage Restaurant and Bar
After the disappointing dinner at the Cheese Cake Factory, we were eager to end the night in a nice place with a few drinks – the perfect way to celebrate the week’s end. Another place we wanted to try on the Gourmet Jakarta magazine was Birdcage. We were looking for along a tree line street in Kebayoran Baru when I saw it, and I said “There it is!” and my husband, who I guess was looking another way, said “How do you know it’s the one?”

We were thrilled when our fabulous friend (we will call him Ted) told us that beside our hotel, The Harmony Seminyak, was a cheap resto where they have good PORK dishes. Maybe we’re just deprived of good pork in Jakarta, but the pork was sooo good at Delicious Onion.
