[HOTEL REVIEW] Patra Jasa Bandung Hotel

Hi Eaters,

Last weekend I had a nice staycation event with fellow bloggers and media partners. It was a nice sunny morning as I packed my bag and travelled to the lovely neighbour city of Bandung. The trip took hours but I was enthusiasted about this rejuvenated hotel, the Patra Jasa Bandung Hotel.

Sperta, Grandkemang Hotel

Hi Eaters.

It's another hotel buffet review. This time I was invited to another brunch session at Sperta, Grandkemang Hotel, Jakarta. It is called Brunch It Up.
It's always nice to be invited to these kinds of events so I have a lot of hotel buffet listed on the blog as a reference if someday I would want to have an occasion in one of them.

Supreme Brunch at SATOO & Shang Palace, Shangri-La Hotel

Hi Eaters.

It's another hotel buffet review. But unlike any other, this one is extra special. 
I was invited to try the Supreme Brunch at SATOO & Shang Palace, Shangri-La Hotel. It was a nice sunny Sunday and the offer of trying out Shangri-La's buffet is not something to be missed out.
SATOO itself has already been my favourite hotel buffet since quite a while and coming there again was so exciting. Well, it's been a while since my last visit.

Botany Restaurant, Holiday Inn Hotel Kemayoran

Hi Eaters.

It's another hotel buffet restaurant. I think I've been writing a lot about hotel buffet lately, so please don't ever be bored by what I write in this blog.
But seriously, who doesn't love buffet? I mean, it's a place where you can eat whatever you want, as much as you want also. Seems pretty heaven enough for someone who loves to eat like me, right? LOL.
The next post after this one will also be about a hotel buffet. But let's not over-rush things. Let's talk about this particular place first, Botany Restaurant.

Agendaz Beach Club, Nusa Dua Bali

Hi Eaters.

Dating way back to February, me and my partner decided to take a break from work, from the hectic city of Jakarta and go somewhere for holiday.
As it was also happened to be Valentine then we decided to go somewhere romantic where we can enjoy private moments away from anything stressful.
According to the book Eat, Pray, Love then you will know for sure (if you have read it, or seen the movie) that the part love was entirely situated at our pride island, Bali. A perfect destination for a short getaway.
I've been thinking about blogging my entire trip of Bali, but now let me tell you first of my first destination as soon as I stepped my feet on the island of god.
Let me tell you about Agendaz Beach Club.

OKU, Hotel Indonesia Kempinski

Hi Eaters.

Say hello to the newest addition to the Jakarta culinary destination.

OKU, a premium Japanese restaurant has opened its doors for Japanese food lovers since the 1st of April, 2016.

Located strategically in the heart of Jakarta, it stood firmly side by side with other premium restaurants at Hotel Indonesia Kempinski.

Patio Trattoria & Pizzéria

Hi Eaters.

Are you the kind of person whom they will call a southern guy?
Well, the hype of the culinary world recently is too centered at the northern part of our lovely town, while in fact there are so much to offer in the southern part.
Patio stands pretty strong in that particular reason. Why is that? Then you should read this review til the end.

Quiznos Sub

Hi Eaters.

Talking about meat between two buns probably most of us would refer to burgers and hotdogs. Some would mention sandwich. But would any even mention submarine?
Submarine sandwich (or subs as they commonly call it) is more likely shaped like a sandwich but longer in length and thicker in bread.
Finding a sub in Indonesia is no easy task. Well, not many sub restaurant can be easily found as likely if you're looking for burgers or fried chickens. I remembered one time I tried sub sandwich in a restaurant in Plaza Indonesia though. But that just it, the only place I know that sells sub sandwich at that time. 
Well luckily now, an infamous brand from overseas has opened its outlet in Indonesia.
Say hello to Quiznos Sub!

Nanyang Malaysian Klang Bak Kut Teh, Pantai Indah Kapuk

Hi Eaters.

It's another new restaurant opened in the hip culinary area of Pantai Indah Kapuk. Say hello to Nanyang Malaysian Klang Bak Kut Teh, a restaurant which specializes.. well as you can say by its name, Malaysian Bak Kut Teh. It's a bold move to open a bak kut teh restaurant in Pantai Indah Kapuk if you know that there is another infamous restaurant that serves the same kind of dish just hundreds of meters away.

Asia Restaurant at Ritz Carlton Hotel Jakarta

Hi Eaters,

Saturday and Sunday are leisure days. After a full 5 days of work from Monday til Friday, certainly Saturday and Sunday are days I long await. Days when I can do my hobby or fun things I loved to do, such as eating. Yeayy!
Around 2 weeks ago, at Saturday I got the chance to do that hobby of mine, brutally. Yes, it's a hotel buffet restaurant, which means it's all I can eat!! I always loved this kind of opportunity. And that Saturday I had the chance to be brutal at Asia Restaurant.

Shiraku Soba

Hi Eaters,

Say hello to another new soba restaurant that just opened its first outlet in Jakarta, to be precise in Elang Laut, Pantai Indah Kapuk.
Shiraku Soba is the name and it is in the same group as Carnivor and Cut & Grill. Yes it took a different path compared to its siblings and took Japanese food (soba, in particular) as its main course.

Arts Cafe by Raffles Hotel Jakarta

Hi Eaters.

Who doesn't love Sunday? Raise your hand, please! No one? Well, I guess everyone loves a good Sunday, particularly me. Being so busy from Monday to Friday, then Saturday and Sunday are the days I long await for every single week.
My other reason would be that on those days I can enjoy brunch with friends and family without being distracted by work.
On last Sunday, I had the pleasure of having brunch with some of my very best friends, in a very nice cafe called Arts Cafe by Raffles.

Brewerkz, Senayan City

Hi Eaters.

I was invited to Brewerkz at Senayan City for a short course of "How to make your own beer". To be frank, I was in a full tummy condition that day, having been just visited another foodtasting event before. But that moment I thought to myself, why not just go ahead and come. Though I'm not a beer drinker, nor alcohol fan, but the knowledge of "brewing beer by yourself" got me pretty curious.

The Melting Pot

Hi Eaters.

The world's infamous fondue restaurant is finally here in Indonesia! Yes, The Melting Pot, the first fondue specialist restaurant has opened its first branch in Indonesia right at Plaza Senayan.
Celebrating its 40th anniversary, The Melting Pot made a global scale expansion and we are lucky enough to be one of those countries on their list.

Dolar Shop Resto

Hi Eaters.

I recently visited an unique hotpot restaurant located in the vicinity of Gajah Mada region. What's unique about it was that I could never think of it as a restaurant. Obviously some people share the same thought as I do. Dolar Shop was the name. Let me tell you more below.

Dapuraya at Pasaraya Grande: Tribute to Batik Indonesia

Hi Eaters,

I grew to know Pasaraya a lot. Well, to be honest, it was maybe the first mall/plaza I've ever stepped my foot in. To be living in Manggarai, it only takes me like maybe 5-10 minutes of walk to get to Pasaraya. But I'm not gonna talk about the Pasaraya Manggarai. This blog post is gonna be about its 'sibling' or its other branch located in the busy area of Blok M. I was invited to Pasaraya Grande (was named Pasaraya Blok M in the past) to visit their event which is called "Tribute to Batik Indonesia".

What's Up Cafe, Depok

Hi Eaters.

Over the last two months I've been travelling between Jakarta - Depok quite often, especially on weekend. And despite of the heavy traffic along the way, it was a relief to see Depok nowadays. Becoming a cyber city, it has grown rapidly, and to my enjoyment there were so many unique culinary spots left unexplored by me. It truly is a delightful moment that a few moments ago I came to one of those unique spot, called What's Up Cafe.

Pangkep 33, Pluit

Hi Eaters.

It's another Openrice gathering. Last Saturday I was invited to Pangkep 33, a seafood restaurant located in Pluit. I was kind of in a rush that day, having to go to another place to fulfill yet another foodtasting invitation. But anyway, Pangkep 33 is quite memorable for its delicious seafood dishes, so this is one gathering I didn't want to miss.

[HOTEL REVIEW] Atria Hotel & Conference, Gading Serpong

Hi Eaters.

Well, it's been two months since I last posted on the blog. I hope you guys miss me, lol. But seriously, a lot of things had happened in the last two months. Mostly good things, especially when it comes to food and fun. 
Like this post right here, I'm going to talk about my staycation which happened around 2 weeks ago. Actually it's been planned for quite a long time, but since I went there with my foodie group it's kinda hard to match everyone's schedule and yet finally we came to a fixed date afterall.
Okay, okay, enough with the mumbling. Let me just go straight tell you guys about my fun staycation at Atria Hotel & Conference.

Sana Sini Restaurant Pullman Hotel, Thamrin

Hi Eaters,

Welcoming this fasting month, a lot of restaurants serve special dishes that accomodate the celebration of breakfasting. Nonetheless, hotel restaurants also happen to join the festivity of serving Middle-east-themed dishes in this holy month.
One of these restaurants was my favourite hotel-buffet-restaurant in Jakarta, Sana Sini Restaurant Pullman Hotel.
