This is the second Jakarta feast issue and the last issue for this month. Sorry to do the Jakarta Feast issue twice in a row. Since its not a holiday season yet, I would not be traveling so far away. Anyway, Jakarta is very large city. It is not enough to explore this entire city for only one issue. Probably, I am going to update numerous issues about Jakarta since I live here in this gorgeous city.
Union
For my first trip in this issue, I am going south! I went to this fancy restaurant at Plaza Senayan. I thought the atmosphere of the restaurant itself is really classy and a decent place for socializes with friends in formal clothes. I ordered this salmon and spinach ravioli, it was great although the specialties here at Union is the dessert. I heard the cronut (croissant-doughnut) and the red velvet cake are delicious. That day I was not really in a mood for sweet (I do not know what was wrong with me that day) so I did not order it but that would not stop me for ordering it the next time I visit Union.

I scream for green tea! Any kind of green tea. From its actual tea form to ice cream. So, I went to this cafe that is really famous for their green tea ice cream. I ordered this Shiratama Pafrait (3rd picture), Tasting Plate (1st picture), Mochi Waffle (2nd picture), and Snow Affogato (4th picture). I love the Shiratama Pafrait! Well, I love all of them since I am a green tea enthusiast. The Snow Affogato is basically a vanilla ice cream with expresso but they added this huge cotton candy on top of it which is really cool.

This restaurant outlook is like a diner type of restaurant. It has a really cool appearance at the entrance with the tosca and yellow colored American diner style. The food is really good too. Typical diner food such as mac n' cheese, pasta, burger and fries, and nachos.

Häagen-Dazs
Ice cream craving in the middle of the night is just too undeniable. I was so fragile with this kind of situation and straightaway to find an ice cream shop. Then, I went to the mall and went straight to the ice cream place. Well of course, Häagen-Dazs, as usual, never lets me down. I ordered this green tea and vanilla ice cream with a Japanese style touch parfait-ish dessert called Aoyama Anmitsu. It sounds really Japanese already. I love this! I would definitely come back for this.

Kitchenette
Crepe is delicious as a sweet dessert or a savory dish. Here, at Kitchenette they have both of them! For that reason, I ordered, both, sweet and savory crepe. The sweet one is banana Nutella crepe with chocolate, caramel, cheese, and topped with vanilla ice cream. The savory crepe is a ham and cheese feeling topped with sunny side up egg. It is a great meal for breakfast. I also ordered Caesar Salad just to complement everything.

My sister and I found this Dutch restaurant when we were strolling down the street in searching for good food. At first, I was not really sure about this restaurant. Turns out, the restaurant is self was not really bad once you entered it. It has that old fashion yet classy atmosphere. I think this place would be a great place for elders to have their reunions. The food is amazing! I love the steak, well seasoned. You have to try the poffertjes it's amazing! So far the best poffertjes that I ever tried. Well, second. The first one is the poffertjes from Netherlands itself. Love the fact that they use the floral blue plate, its gorgeous!
