2nd Day in Jakarta

At Jakarta Design Center

 My friend is the owner of this shop, Felione, dealing in high-end furniture

At Pacific Place Mall

Besides this Bentley showroom, there is also a Jaguar showroom in this mall

Lamborghini Gallardo, it's a lucky draw prize for shoppers at this mall!

 The boss of Felione, Ms. Yang and Ms. Megawati

Kafe Betawi (Indonesian restaurant) 

 We adjourned to this restaurant which is renowned for its "Xiao Lung Pau"

At Classic Hotel

We had a few rounds of beer here

After our visit to Central Park Mall, we went to Jakarta Design Center to meet the lady boss of Felione Furniture and from there we arranged to meet up at Pacific Place Mall for dinner. We had dinner at an Indonesian Restaurant, Kafe Betawi but my hosts doesn't like the food here (for me the food here is alright) and we adjourned to a nearby restaurant, Din Tai Fung for a second round of orders! I only ordered a dessert here as I'm already full! After dinner, we went our separate ways; the ladies left for home and Hans & I went to Classic Hotel (owned by Hans' friend and we get a 15% discount) for a few rounds of Bintang beer as it is still early! 

Central Park Mall Jakarta

 Very clean public toilets

 We had lunch here

 Mr. Hans, the owner of a property consulting firm

 Took four plates of these thinly sliced beef

This morning after breakfast, I took a taxi to Central Park Mall in West Jakarta to explore this mall alone as my friend, Mr. Hans will only be meeting me at 1.00pm. The malls here opened at 10.00am and closes at 10.00pm. After a couple of hours of window shopping, I went back to the hotel to wait for Mr. Hans. He came and took me for lunch at Shabuya Japanese Restaurant which is located on Level 1 of Central Park Mall! This is a all-you-can-eat restaurant serving shabu-shabu but the two of us only managed to eat four plates of the thinly sliced beef and two plates of vegetables. Cost is approximately B$19-00 per person. 

Taman Anggrek Mall, Jakarta

Today, I arrived at Sukarno-Hatta International Airport, Jakarta around 1.15pm local time but was only picked up around 2.00pm by my new friend, Mr. Hans who was waiting for me at a different arrival hall! After checking into the hotel, we went to Mangga Besar for a quick bite before proceeding to the Taman Anggrek Mall where we will be meeting up with another friend for dinner. This is a huge shopping mall and there are two other big malls (Central Park Mall and Ciputra Mall) along this stretch of road. We had dinner at the Imperial Chef Restaurant, a restaurant under The Duck King Group which operates 17 restaurants in Indonesia. After dinner, we went window shopping but I did purchase a Polo T-shirt which was on offer! Finally went back to the hotel around 10.30pm for that much needed hot shower and sleep! 

Grand Orbit @ Sheraton Macau

 Mr Koh

 Chiok

We initially wanted to try out the buffet at Grand Lisboa (we heard it's very good and had to make bookings in advance) but chanced upon the Grand Orbit as we were going out to buy some foodstuff for the folks back home. As we are still full from our coffee break earlier at Palms Cafe, we booked a table for 8.30pm (we are planning on having dinner after our shopping). The buffet here is very lavish and there are many varieties of cuisines available. At approximately B$54 per person, it's a bit on the high side but I think it's still worth it! After dinner, we split up as those who wanted to gamble headed for the casino and as for me, I explored the surroundings with Chiok (a friend who is sharing a room with me) before heading back to our room to sleep. I must give myself a pat on the back as this is the first time I actually didn't gamble in Macau!
