DBD : Detained Birthday Dinner

For not so particular reasons, birthday moments always excites me.. It's not about the glittery gold parties or beautiful wrapped gifts. For me, a birthday is a friendly reminder to be the better me. A day to share some happiness by treating the loves one, grateful i am having them through good and bad, up and down..Thank God who gave me another year to make right what i've done wrong..

Mustache Me

Not too far from Ninotchka another dessert diner has emerged in Citra Garden 6 housing complex. The name Mustache Me surely piqued my curiosity, it appeared not only me who intrigued. A friend of mine braved a stressful jam and floods from Gading-Citra just to took a peek by herself what this mini restaurant is all about. I love how the place was being humble, homey yet cozy at the same time and (hopefully) the munches are worth the traffic. 

Bluegrass Bar & Grill

It was Friday and i was looking a place to indulge myself despite all the boredom because my bestie is on her trip to Bangkok for a whole month. So, i decided to made a reservation at Bluegrass a good looking restaurant strategically located just across Otel Lobby. It appeared that Bluegrass is under reconstruction or something. From afar, that fancy looking entrance of it didn't gave any signs. So, i got confuse a little bit. But, there we were, with hungry tummy looking something good to munch.

Roc N' Ron

“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” I do really agree with this fabulous quote by Virginia Woolf. So, i never restrain myself from my voracious eating habit. That day, the rain was heavily dripped, the sky was dark and obscure, and occasionally sounds tight the rumble of thunder. The weather was unceasingly gloomy and made me felt cranky. I do really love rainy season yet ( sometimes ) hate it to the bones, it sort of love hate relationship. And yeah, the traffic was really testing my patience as a patient human being. Lets put aside the weather, and take a look of what Roc n Ron offered to carnivores. 

Fresh'n Your Day at BeetBeetle

Muara Karang is like a sacred place for Chinese peoples who loves to eat non-halal foods ( contain pork ) But, it is lack of hangout places like PIK, the haven of goodness which is located just a few km from it. So, here's BeetBeetle appeared as a rejuvenation for young peoples who lives nearby to enjoy Taiwanese snacks, Oriental-Western foods, or even grab a glass of beer. It is one teenage restaurant with cheerful concept. As i stepped inside, it was a minimalist not to mention fresh looking restaurant with homey ambiance. 

Ginger Li

Kemang is known as one of hippest area in Jakarta. As if it's never sleep, an ever-changing area where new places mainly restaurants, bars or even clubs keep popping out after one another. These days, the clubs aren't that crowded and hip anymore. I visited Barcode about several weeks ago and it was nearly empty, unlike my very first time went there, it was so packed and stuffed. Therefore it is a paradise for a blogger such as myself yet i haven't explore it thoroughly. Ginger Li is a fine dining restaurant which is located at South of Kemang. An upper-class restaurant with refreshing atmosphere with catchy and soothing music, A Chinese restaurant mixed between Oriental-European. I love the qi-bao lady picture embedded on the wall. 

Kalaha at The Wharf

After a decade exploring the sea, Finally, i've found a restaurant depth inside a cavern named Remoire Cave. Ok, forget about it. Several weeks ago, i skipped class for whole day and ended up having a late dinner at Kalaha at The Wharf. By the time i was there, it was empty. Consider it as a luck for me, since i don't like taking pics when there's a lot of peoples around. Having a fast dinner made me feel like in the nest of pirates, with some nets attached as the foothold for the upper floor.

Downtown Bistro

A few days ago, i went to one of the newest establishments ( is it ? ) at Central Jakarta which is specifically located at Landmark Building, Sudirman. I was intrigued after hearing several good talks from friends who preceded me. Unfortunately, by the time i was there with one of my friend, their indoor area was unavailable due to the some colloquium, talkshow, whatever you name it. Inevitably, we sat outside. Hoping they all would moved immediately. Poor us, they didn't moved even just a little bit.

Coffee Time at Monolog

Monolog is .... a....well , already rather old yet very well-known coffee bar at Plaza Senayan face-to-face with La Luce , those who often visits Southern area must be familiar with this place . Fell in love with its location that you can see an appealing wooden touches everywhere from in front of Monolog and others neighboring restaurants . Ambiance-wise , Matching and synch colors in harmony . Monolog has its own magnet to make ( at least ) for me to come over again and again .

Last week i was accompanied by couple of friends visiting Bibliotheque a well-known fine dining restaurant which is located at behind the majestic pillars of Sampoerna Building .

There were also an outdoor area just on the left & right side before the entrance.
