RESTO RAVE ❤ Magnum Cafe Pop-up
A friend of ours read about the Magnum Cafe online in an international paper and told us about it. So we made sure to to come over for dessert! Good thing too because according to Fab Tad it is a pop-up resto and will not be a permanent fixture in the Jakarta dining scene.

After a morning at the gardening shop and the ceramic outlet store the girls and I deserved a treat! So we had lunch at KOI Kemang which is a favorite spot in Kemang. They are known for their Brunch menu (I personally prefer Social House for brunch) but we decided to try their regular lunch menu. All 3 of the girls ordered the Angus Roast Beef with Truffled Pudding which was excellent. I must bring TD (The Diplomat) here so he can try it! That Truffled pudding is amazing!

To other bloggers out there…. do you have such a special experience that you end up putting off doing a post about it because you want it to be nice enough to give the experience justice? Well that’s what happened with this post!
TD took me to Sekitei for my birthday and I had such a wonderful time that I took so many pictures and wanted the post to be soooo perfect. I put so much pressure on myself that I ended up putting it off so long that I forgot about posting it at all. LOL. (My birthday was last September…eeep!)

Fresh seafood at Phong Phang – Palai Bay
“The crab that walks too far falls into the pot.”
- Haitian Proverb
Coming from a province near the sea and enjoying freshly caught seafood my entire life, I am what you call a seafood snob. I’d rather eat something else if the seafood isn’t fresh. I barely ate seafood when I was in Manila, because despite being in an archipelago it was hard to find fresh and inexpensive seafood.

Day 2: We woke up to another amazing, sunny day (despite the forecast of clouds and rainshowers..Yay!) and headed off to breakfast at Sala Restaurant. We weren’t expecting much because it was not buffet, but were we in for a surprise! Breakfast, Sala-style, was a yummy feast! Check out the drool-worthy food pics after the jump!

Read MoreDelicious Indonesian food at TeSate
My fab friend Ted, the food editor, introduced me to this restaurant. He said it’s where he brings visitors or friends who are new to Jakarta. I can understand why. The food is delicious, ambiance and attention to detail excellent and the price is reasonable for the quality of food.
Read MoreRESTAU-RANT: Paulaner Brauhaus MISmanagement
It is exactly because of the World Cup that there are so many people who want to eat great sausages/crispy pork knuckles and have great Rp 98,000++ 1L glasses of beer at the Paulaner Brauhause Kempinski. However we’ve been sorely disappointed and based on other people complaining on their FB page we are not alone.
