ALL IN ONE

Buongiorno! How to spend weekend? Sunday Brunch sounds great, a bowl of noodles is surely comforting (does it sound very Asian?) but I'm into Italian food and having a plate of pasta instead definitely a yes. Shangri-la Jakarta is famous for its SATOO, breakfast or dinner, they have anything you want from Chinese to Indian food. But personally I turned into ROSSO for Sunday Brunch , from 11 am to 2.30 pm here you can enjoy more than just pasta, from antipasto to selection of wines.  Formaggio - when it comes to Italian food, think about cheese.. cheese pizza, cheesy pasta, even salad with cheese, I found Pecorino (sooo good) and the love-hate Gorgonzola (I'm #teamGorgonzola anyway). To start - I had salad topped with parmesan, more cheese and tomatoes on side, few slices of beef bacon, and my most favorite sauteed mushroom with artichoke. As a big fan of artichoke, pairing it with almost everything, pizza, pasta, and surely goes well with salad. Continue with risotto, fresh

Have you experience camping? Some of you probably had the experience while in school. Sleeping in real tent, sleeping bag, camp fire. I was excited when I heard about this place, welcome to a newly opened resort in Lembang, it's Trizara Resort . Offering a different experience, glamping, a luxury camping with resort services, comfy bed, a great idea for a weekend getaway. Yes it's not just a camping site, but unlike any other resort, because here you'll sleep in a real tent. Anyway, they also have function room (I mean tent) for company gathering.  It took about a year to build this resort, team up with the locals, definitely an interesting story about this place. Based on simplicity, a peaceful place that blend harmoniously with its surrounding. Not only the nature but the people. Their staffs are the people from near by village, I believe it will bring positive impact for both sides. The Room You don't need to set up the tent, just check-in and check-out. There are fe

When it comes to dining at a luxurious hotel, buffet restaurant is probably the most popular. Once I came to Mandarin Oriental Jakarta when about applying for Schengen Visa as the hotel is located just beside the German Embassy. I've heard (a lot) that they are known for their cakes collection, also they're the first that introduced Cronuts in Jakarta, and it is still a hunt for the certain citizens. A hybrid of croissant and doughnut, found by Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York City. Well here, The Cake Shop, one of the finest dessert destination in Jakarta, offers more than cronuts, to mention, chocolate pralines, assorted truffles, macarons, individual and whole cakes with very interesting creations.

It's located at the lobby level of The Ritz Carlton Mega Kuningan , it's not an Italian restaurant but they have more to offer, from mouth-watering appetizers to sweet delightful desserts. To describe Lobo Restaurant , a contemporary fine dining, with luxurious interior, genial service, and of course good food. This May, a new Chef de Cuisine from a Michelin Star Restaurant in Bordeaux, France named Chef Jan Scwittalla will be part of Lobo Restaurant. Yes, he's German, and I personally very curious about what will he do, probably French dishes or with a twist of German cuisine. Anyway, I've heard that Lobo is famous for its Steak selection but last week I got a chance to savor some other dishes from the menu, shall we start with the welcome bread? I chose chewy pretzel over soft bread just because it's pretzel. Pretzel Next, Hokkaido Scallop with Parmesan Crumble,  sautéed  b ok choy, passion fruit, and orange.
