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.

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.

Gili, Indonesia

Pictures do-- really worth a thousand words, right? This tropical paradise is located at Gili, Lombok Indonesia. Only traditional transportations are allowed in Gili, but they sure have a lot of modern restaurants around the island.

Pipiltin Cocoa

Pipiltin Cocoa offered an interesting experience.  With experimental cakes you'll be thrilled to try every cake on the menu. When i opened the Menu, the first page of the Menu were Desserts. Well yes, their specialty is dessert. Divided by two groups, there were "Imagination" Desserts and "Inspiration" Dessert.

Nutmeg Cuisine & Bar Kemang

Beautiful place to enjoy a relaxing afternoon. Behind those glasses door,Nutmeg's interior were dominated with the color of baby blue, wooden furniture and white curtains, which i enjoyed the most, i just love pastel colors !

Ocha & Bella, Menteng

Great and unique ambiance to enjoy your meal and hang out, this place is fun to be visited both - in the morning and at night. Suitable for you that are looking for places to catchup with your friends, take pictures with them and maybe just to enjoy the ambiance. Or if you need something to drink, this place has it all. I personally think that Ocha & Bella had done a great job to furnished, think visually  and aware about the details in every corner.

Turkuaz Authentic Turkish Restaurant

Located at Gunawarman Senopati, the food here was just excellent, especially for those who loves middle eastern food.  Desired to try something new, i chose Turkish food. Nice place, very friendly and warm, the chef or the waiters wouldn't forget to asked how the food was. The signature dish was Lamb Shank.  But we decided to order Sis Kebab (IDR 150) and Shawarma Kebab (IDR 95) . If you have money to splurge, this is the good place to have some nice food, and different kind of food, turkuaz offers you a new experience of turkish food.  We spend for about IDR 350.000, for two main courses and drinks. Definitely Worth it

 Sis Kebab, I personally think this one was better than the other. Nice tender lamb with juicy tastes cooked to a level medium well

 Shawarma Kebab, with rice. Just found out if you ordered Shawarma Kebab served with bread, it would taste better

 The Ambience

Opening Hours:
Everyday, lunch from 11.30am to 2pm and dinner from 6pm to 10pm

Welcoming 2013

 

Hello 2013 !

Sorry for the late post !  i've been busy with my final tests and these fever i've got after celebrating Christmas with my friends. So i have this lump on my neck, and i was so worried cause it could be something serious, turned out it was just like infection or something, what a relief. Back with the celebration of new year's eve ! After a lot of thinking and so on, We came to Yeyo, cause they have a nice rooftop, so we could see all the fireworks around Jakarta

 The View from the 3rd floor of Yeyo Senopati

We all ordered for Tenderloin Steak. It was so goood, but be prepared with for the small portions, it wasnt enough for a meat eater like me haha. Cost for about IDR 150.000 and Red Wine for about IDR 120.000

 The Countdown. The Balloons makes it Perfect !

I'll be back with the review of the restaurant next time, nice place for hang out, to do your assignments or just when you need something delicious like the Yeyo's Tenderloin Steak !

TRYST : Eat, Drink, Chill & Shop

Best concept store ever.  When you walked in, it looks like a cozy regular restaurant. But its actually a Furniture Shop, so you can buy all the furniture in that restaurant, the chair, lamps and everything. Sure its a pre order, but because of that every month will be different theme with all different furniture. Whoever came out with the idea to make that store, oh my.. smart man. Not only the customer will eventually feel whether the chair is comfy enough and so on, they got their income from selling foods too ! Brilliant.

I suggest you to come here at noon, the natural light fit perfectly
