Jakarta 2010 - Day 3

The Wedding is over and now is some time spent in Jakarta. Morning plan is to visit Magga Dua (something like Central Market in KL) and then to Grand Indonesia (like Pavilion in KL).

The sight from the carpark of Magga Dua


We didn't have much time to shop at Magga Dua as we were rushing for lunch. Once we got back to our vehicle, we told the driver to head towards Grand Indonesia. While heading there, i had taken some pictures.


I secretly taken this man's picture. He was walking in between non moving cars. I didn't realise that he was looking. :P I got scared coz in Jakarta it's normal for them for snatch anything from the vehicle especially when it's not moving.


Indonesian crossing



I wanted to take a ride on this bajaj. Maybe my next trip (finger's cross)



Poor man. He was walking bare footed on tar road pushing his cart.


There was a misunderstanding with the driver!!! He didn't know where is Grand Indonesia. He took us back to the hotel, where the journey he drove takes us almost 2 hours.The whole crew in the vehicle was frustrated that every bad-mouthing words was said...!!! The driver even ask directions from us how to get to the HOTEL! You must be joking!

Once reached the hotel, we saw another driver (with suit! i bet he knows where Grand Indonesia is?!)

A part of Jakarta i wanted in see more of. ITS CITY! As the signboard welcomes us...



Final we reached Grand Indonesia!! First thing in mind, FOOD!!!

The process of making 


Green Apple & Chocolate with Macadamia nuts


Tiramisu & raspberry mix


Wow! After a sweet tasting. More walking to burn the calories!


There was a live band singing. And they are GOOD! i can say they are better than most live band i heard in KL. The highest floor of Grand Indonesia has a different concept of design. It's much exotic and interesting. Mostly restaurants, bars, cafes and food stalls. Other floors below would be clothing, electronics, fashion and others. I was passing through one of the cafe, and i saw "Kopi Luwak". Guess what is it? 


It's Bat's poo blend into coffee. Eeuuu! Hahahahah!! I was so keen to try.So, i told my friends to come after dinner. hahahahah :P Well, it's once in a lifetime to try poo in food. :) The price is not that cheap, you know! Rp 159,000.00 per cup equivalent to RM60. This is probably cheaper than i heard. I heard my ex-colleage drank one cup amounting to RM75 at Jakarta airport, ok! 

There were 10 of us, decided to have sushi...


After dinner the bill came....I think it's the most expensive bill i have ever contributed!


Rp 1,230,770.00...The bill came to One million...Wow!!! Lucky in Rp instead in RM! Haha


Wow...i had so much i couldn't move. SHIT! i wanted to drink the shit!!! Haha!! Tak bole masuk lagi la! Ok la, next time!!(a friend said). Alright then, just get supper will do. :)
