RESTO RAVE ❤ Turkuaz Take 2
The ambassador invited us to dinner at Turquaz to celebrate TD’s birthday (isn’t that the nicest?). It’s one of his favorite restaurants in Jakarta – he and his wife have become friends with the owners because they frequent it quite regularly. After my first visit to Turquaz, I was really excited to try more of the delicious food, enjoy the gorgeous ambiance and finally take good pictures with my DSLR! YAY! (I only took photos with an iPad on my first visit)

After the lovely dinner we had at Asian Fashion Law’s the night before (future post on the yummy home-cooked meal!) wherein we were talking about how Filipinos in Jakarta are so crazy about pork that the mere whisper of pork gets us all hot and bothered. Haha! It was no surprise that the next day TD and I were definitely craving for… you guessed it… PORK! So TD did some research and found that there was a resto that served pork in the mall we were going to, Plaza Senayan. Pictures of what we had after the jump!

I’m not fond of steak, but like all men TD is. I can have it in small bites & appreciate the taste of high quality steak so I was totally game to try out The Butcher at Gandaria City Mall. This resto only uses US Certified Meat. Pictures using my iPad after the jump!

Read MoreRESTO REVIEW ❤ Chilis Bar and Grill Jakarta
We’ve meant to go to Chilis ever since we arrived 3 years ago. The location isn’t convenient for us. We avoid going past Grand Indonesia in the Pusat (central) area as much as we can because of the infamous Jakarta traffic (macet!!!). During the past holiday we finally mustered up the energy to check it out! Pictures and verdict after the jump!

I’ve been meaning to meet up with Asian Fashion Lawyer for the longest time. And I’ve been meaning to check out this super cute resto at Pacific Place. So when it was finally time to meet up and Asian Fashion Lawyer asked me where I wanted to eat in Pacific Place.. Nanny’s Pavillon Bathroom immediately popped up in my head. *Full disclosure: I didn’t really care about the food. I just wanted the weird experience of eating in a place that looks like a bathroom! LOL!
