Genting Cafe

Hawker center famous for its chee cheong but this time we got wantan mee and char kway teow. Wantan mee was quite good, the noodles were springy, soft and chewy. The wantans were alright but the sauce was amazing! Flavourful but not overly salty and oily. Char kway teow was also good with some wok hey. Price was very good (4-5RM per portion). Place was a bit cramped and noisy during lunchtime but that's part of the hawker experience. Will come back for the chee cheong fun when it opens!
Plataran Menteng

Wonderful place serving authentic, luxurious fine-dining Indonesian food. Everything was incredibly delicious and well made. We ordered a few stuff but the highlights would be the dendeng batokok (so crispy!), rujak juhi (taste was authentic), fish soup and smoked fish with mango sauce.

The interior was beautifully decorated, definitely gives off a luxurious Indonesian house vibe. The courtyard near the entrance was also lovely. There are a few private rooms too, each with a slightly different decor from the other rooms. Great place for big family gathering/business meals/special occasion as they have extensive menu. Service was attentive and quick, definitely adds to the experience here.
Jakarta Aquarium
2023 Dec 22
Wonderful aquarium located in a middle of a mall in Jakarta. Informative, many interesting animals, perfect for kids but also adults. We did not get to watch any feeding shows but it was still a fun experience. The staff were friendly and gentle to the animals too. Occasionally they will bring some animals out for visitors to take pictures - there were snake, blue macaw, and Madagascar cockroaches when I was there. There were iPads that show the species and some information about the animals that you can learn from.

My only complaint was the ticketing system. I purchased online thinking I could save time by skipping most of the queue but I still needed to redeem my physical ticket in the same line as people that need to buy tickets. So what's the point of buying it online then? At the very least they should separate the queue for those that need to buy tickets and those who just need to redeem. Not sure if it's because the holiday season.
Djournal Coffee
2023 Dec 20
Great place to get coffee and do some work. Lots of spaces, huge outdoor seating area available. Coffee was good and strong, slightly bitter with smoky aftertaste. They also have some pastries and food menu selection. The almond croissant was nicely buttered, flaky with generous almond filling. The area can be a bit dim though.
Capital Cafe

Ordered the scrambled egg with toast, charsiu with macaroni in soup set. Scrambled egg was fluffy but not runny and nicely cooked, toast was served with generous amount of butter. The charsiu made the soup a bit sweeter than usual, and the soup is also quite flavourful without too much saltiness. Milk tea was smooth and milky, although the iced one was a bit sweet.

They have quite a lot of seats with quirky poster decor. Service was quite fast. Price was alright. Good to visit if you're around the area.
