Im in Love with Paris

5 REASONS WHY I LOVE PARIS

1. Because you always tempted raise you eyes, and look up to the ceiling. And i was amazed by everything that the french people made.





2. I love how chairs in cafes are placed, they're facing the street. I can always enjoy the afternoon with a cup of tea and their petite dessert while reading a magazine and observe people passing by the street. For a bigger restaurant they usually always have a terrace that we can enjoy while eating our meal.  


3. The Festival, the main reason i went to Paris its actually because i'm in London, and Lana Del Rey was going to play at Rock en Seine with Arctic Monkeys, Laroux, etc in Domaine St Cloud, Paris. And the music festival was amazing, i love how french people were very excited when the music started and they were running towards the location of the stage while dancing. And the decorations in the festival were also well though, i love the futuristic crystals, and ufos all over the place








4. I love how enchanted the Palaces were. I left my heart at Fountainableu. Its a bit outside Paris, i think i should mention it here because you can take a day tour to go there, just like Versailles. But what makes Fountainableu more special, its because the interiors were still original, and they are not as crowded as Versailles. But i think no one can beat the garden in Versailles, so Versailles is worth to visit too, but if you have to choose one, i prefer Fountainableu.


5. Strolling around the city, especially at night. I went to all the touristy places but there's no one there, and I appreciate more the monuments and everything at night, because i could see the details (cause its so much less crowded) and how beautiful the piece of arts that Paris has.



 Even though its very crowded during the day, the sky was always incredible, i love how the photos turned out from my camera with clear blue sky and fluffy clouds. I spent 5 days in Paris and i think its the right amount to explore the city of Paris, i used the hop on and hop off bus tour for 2 days (cause its so much cheaper than the 1 day). For the rest 3 days, i went to the palaces outside Paris, like Versailles and Fountainableu. I got all the list that i want to visit for 5 days - although, i would love to go back to Paris.

Paris is always a good idea

Lobbyn Kitchen and Bar, Kemang




 Located at Fave Hotel, Kemang, Lobbyn Kitchen and Bar is another option to enjoy the Jakarta Skyline.  The bar is on the poolside at the rooftop area of the hotel. The rooftop area opens at 5 PM, so this place was built to enjoy the sunset.

Authentique French Bakery, Kemang



Real french bakery owned by a French lady, Sophie Boyer, Authentique was a joyful and homey little place located at Kemang.  Authentique French Bakery just moved from its previous location, but the new location was near the old one, its about 50 m from the old one. First impression when i came to the bakery were the cozy place and  the appetizing smell of freshly baked pastries.

 Various of Sweets

 When i was here it didn't feels like i was in Jakarta, which is a pleasant way if you need a really short get away from the busy traffic at Kemang /Jakarta

 Canelé (IDR 15), Sophie said this small pastry is a must try, if you haven't tried any canelé,  you haven't tried the Speciality of French Pastries. A canelé is a small French pastry with a soft and tender custard center and a dark, thick caramelized crust.I like it because it has the right level of sweetness. 

 Apricot Almond Pie (IDR 35)
Chocolate Pie (35K)

Authentique French Bakery is a recommended place to visit. Prices are moderate and they offer a freshly baked pastries and dessert. They also have savory menus for breakfast too-!

Le Cafe Gourmand, Senopati




Le Cafe Gourmand, Senopati its another spot to enjoy your coffee, with the variety of coffee selection you’ll be satisfied by the good taste of the coffee and how comfy is the place was. 

Vanilla Mille Feuille (IDR 40), taste like Apple Strudle (which i enjoyed)

 Any selection of Ice Cream for IDR 35K-!


 Selection of cakes


 I always order English Breakfast when it comes to selection of tea. This place doesn't have English breakfast for tea but they sure have great desserts and ice cream. And they also have Indonesian Specialty Teas, like Gunung Tilu Special Grade Black Tea, Organic Red Jade Java Tea, Mount Halimun Oolong, etc (all for IDR 40). Its another place which is perfect to do your assignment or just to enjoy your afternoon

Cloud Lounge and Living Room



 Located at 29th floor above altitude at The Plaza, Cloud Lounge is another option to spent the afternoon with the view of Jakarta City. Its actually divided by three different space. The best one is an outdoor rooftop lounge and bar, with the view of Jakarta City, but it has minimum payment about IDR 1.500.000 – IDR 2.000.000, reasonable price if you go here in a group of 10 people. But if you want to be sited in this area without have to pay the minimum payment, you can sit on the bar. The second area is inside the building  and the third area was outdoor like the first one but with least of view, because it was facing the back of another building, so you cant see the city skyline because it was blocked by another building.

Three Buns Senopati


 New place to enjoy burgers at Senopati, in my opinion Three Buns is the coziest bun house in Jakarta. With the unique White food truck on the gate, you'll be curious to try some of the menu. It's my second time to eat at Three Buns, the first time was on weekend, the place was sooo crowded, there are no chairs left, and you have to wait 20 minutes to order a food after you had ordered some drinks. But the second time was on Monday, and it was completely different. On weekdays, the food was fast (unlike on weekends, i have to wait for an hour and thirty minutes to eat my burger). 


 Oh how i love the ambiance of the place. It was beautifully furnished with the dominance of light wooden chairs and tables, and it had does minimalist yet modern look. Click Read More, to get more info about the place and the food-!
