this place sells home-styled food. it's a halal restaurant where they sell dishes made of chicken, beef, seafood, egg, vegetables, and many more. they're open since the morning so you can have something for your breakfast.

i really like their beef satay. it's tender, sweet, and has a little spicy in it. the fried prawn is also good. it's crispy outside but still moist inside. the star is the chili sambal. it's spicy, and savory. seriously, i could eat the whole package of rice with their sambal only. they need to give more sambal. i'm willing to pay more for the sambal.

this place is located inside the maxwell food court area. you need to find your own seat, shared with others. you don't need to wait for too long to be served. it's fast and easy here.

the laksa comes with fish cake, shrimp, tofu, and bean sprouts. the soup is creamy and full of flavor. it goes so well with the noodle. the noodle is not overcooked, so the texture is nice. don't forget to ask for the chilli paste or sambal. it's not too spicy but it definitely adds the rich flavor.
this hotel is one of the oldest luxury hotels in jakarta. without a doubt, this place is indeed luxurious but the interior design is quite old fashioned, everywhere including the reception, the hall, and the room. the bed is comfortable. the shower is hot and clean. there are rooms with bath tubs, while the others only have shower heads.

the food for breakfast is quite good but not as many options as other 5-star hotels. the food from their meeting package is much better, in my opinion.

nevertheless, their service is indeed top notch. the staffs are very helpful especially at the reception area. they're ready to serve even though it's past midnight.
i think the menu is overpriced and quite expensive, although they claim to serve more healthy fried chicken dishes where they use canola oil to cook.

each piece of chicken costs around 10,000 rupiahs. i tried the honey, and red series. the meat is crunchy outside and tender inside. it's delicious but as you can see the size is too small, especially compared to the price.

the garlic butter rice is also tasty but costs around 17,000 for a small portion. then, a glass of iced korean tea costs about 20,000. it has a hint of corn taste. the salad is just okay, nothing special.
