Trip to Jakarta Part 4

Check out what is Kai’s aunt holding… so much cash!
Anyway, don’t you think Kai’s aunt has very smooth face?
I think I will never be able to guess her age…

.

There is one part of our body that we always neglect. Nope, not our faces, hair or hands…

But our feet.

.

Girls likes to wear heels which constantly put our feet on stress… and all the colorful nail polishes we like to apply on our toes are harmful to our toe nails as well

This is why Pedicure is so important – it removes the dead skin cells and nail polishes also look better with nice and clean feet. Plus, it is friggin cheap to pedicure your feet (only 6 bucks without nail art)!

Look at all my dead skin cells!
I really felt that my feet feels very smooth after the pedicure. They are so hardworking at removing our dead skin cells…

Most importantly, you seldom see guys doing such stuffs but in Indonesia, it is so common!

I seriously don’t think guys in Sg would ever learn that.

:D DDD
If you ever go to Indonesia, don’t forget to head to one of the salon to try out their manicures and pedicures. They are awesome because they are cheap and good.

.

Since today was eat out day, so we were just randomly eating food we like at the mall…

Such as…

A&W!
When was the last time you actually drank root beer in their fast food restaurant?

Mine was a gazillion number of years! Ever since the one in Ten Mile Junction closed down when I was 6, I practically didn’t get to eat any of those stuffs anymore.

And we also ate some desserts:

Mango Pudding!
It doesn’t taste like those I normally eat.

BUT THIS MANGO and POMELO WITH SAGO IS MY FAVORITE!

This is my favorite cold dessert and I have to say, it’s very difficult to taste a good one like this. The mango must be sweet, the pomelo must be sweet too and the mango puree must not be too sweet or bland! And this beats all that I have tasted before because they added IQ balls inside so that there is an extra Q-ness in the dessert.

Major thumbs up!

Anyway, just sharing how my eye makeup looks like on that day:

Love my skin on that day!
My skin is soft and supple because of the sleeping mask I put on the previous night. :D

Metals galore!
I placed bronze eye shadow on my upper and lower lids and I brushed on some gold eye shadow on the corner of my eyes to brighten them up… lastly I applied silver eyeliner on my lower lashline to make my eyes a little bigger.

.

That’s about it for my Jakarta trip!
Tata :D

Trip to Jakarta Part 2

Day 2! Rise and Shine!

Shortly after our breakfast, we went for our lunch at Marutama Ra-men.

We are millionaires!

There is always a time for camwhoring in the car :P

Here we are at Marutama Ra-men!

Cathy and her husband bought the franchise of Marutama Ra-men to Indonesia so technically speaking, this restaurant is also theirs!

Inner decor of the room.

I dislike the orange and dim lights. It makes my photos blur.

Appetizers:

Chicken meatball with some gravy that tastes so heavenly!

White Radish

Dumplings! I love it because the skin is not too thick and it’s very Q~!

Roast Meat! This is also very nice!

My green tea (:

Kai’s Aunt and his mum

Our food and us!

That’s my Ramen with a duck meat inside. I love the duck meat, it melts in my mouth!

This prawn Ra-men is not released in the menu yet. I get to see this because Cathy’s husband ordered it to try. Hehehehehe~

Shopping at Metro in Plaza Indonesia:

BARBIE DOLLS!

These aren’t the normal ones, but…

Vintage barbie dolls!

I don’t know who would buy them…. Collectors?

We went home after that because it was raining so heavily that the roads are flooded.

That’s all for day 2!

Trip to Jakarta Part 1

HELLOOOOOO!!!!!

Prepare napkins because all my posts on Jakarta is mainly on FOOD! YES FOOD!!!
I ate so much everyday I think I’ve grown fatter. AHHHHH~

But first…

LET’S EXPLORE THE HOUSE!

I’m staying in Kai’s elder sis’s house… the house is so effing huge! It’s not even comparable to any 3 storey bungalow in Singapore. It’s like a mansion!

The picture above is just a playroom. A PLAYROOM. Oh my god.

Look! It even has a swimming pool!

Unfortunately I did not bring any swimsuit…

More pictures of the pool!

Side entrance to the pool via the garden

Being artistic. LOLOLOLOL

After taking this shot I was thinking that the feature wall looks very heavy on the sides… then I was like explaining to my bf about the bulkiness. LOL. So much for being a Landscape Architecture student.



The indoor garden that looks like a dry garden with the white pebbles and stone benches/sculptures.

Guess where does this door leads to?

A home theatre with wonderful sound systems and seats that is like GV’s gold class seatings! Envy max!

Hahahahahahaha~ Kai acting cute on the stairs.

Second Floor

The living room

Dinning hall

Kai’s mum once said, “椅子重过人”. It’s true! I can’t even lift up a single chair on this table! But they looked like a grand dining table…

Dry kitchen

Wet kitchen

The wet kitchen is where all the food are being prepared..

The outdoor garden

Dinning @ Cosi

Cosi is a restaurant in Jakarta opened by Cathy and her husband. So we went there for our lunch!

Some berry drink from Gelare

Hot cup of Honey Lemon. Very good for the throat!

Tofu on hot plate

Look at the smoke!

Moscow Curry. This is a must try! I like the curry!

The kids loooooove their chicken wings in Cosi. Too bad I didn’t buy the marinated ones home! It’s quite nice!

I ordered their 3 season’s baked rice recommended by Cosi’s staffs. It is a pork chop (surprised?) baked rice with 3 types of sauces on top of it: Tomato, Cheese and Portuguese.

Squid salad that Kai’s aunt ordered

Some other salad which I forgot what is that.

This is a pizza! Haha. When it came everyone was like, “Huh? Pizza?”

But it taste like pizza, with rice at the bottom. Not too bad. Hahah

Some mango drink just like the berry one.

But you know what’s the best part about eating at Cosi?

They have Gelare icecream in their restaurant! So you can enjoy ice cream waffles for desserts at Cosi just right after your lunch!

Cathy and Kai’s Aunt

After lunch, we went to the Central Park Mall to shop for some stuffs…

Went to Carrefour in the mall and bought something home:

HAHAHA YES! 2 boxes of instant mee. One of the boxes is sitting in my kitchen now. :P

Tried this berry jam filled bread from Breadtalk! Perfect for my breakfast because I don’t like to eat breads without sugar or any jam on it.

Did this too at the Central Park Mall. Now everyone (including the kids) have one each!

Lastly,

Here’s a picture of our tired faces to end this post. :)

More updates on the Jakarta trip soon (day 2, 3, 4 and 5)!
Stay tune!
