Lara Djonggrang: Dining in a Private Museum
The main attraction of Lara Djonggrang is the decor, both exterior and interior. Starting from the large banyan tree in the front yard up to the inside of the home which was converted into a restaurant that is unique and a bit mystical. The rooms, the tables, the benches, the chairs, the lighting, the floor are all beautiful. Not to mention innumerable collections of antiques. The statue of Lara Djonggrang, a visualization of the mythical Javanese girl on her way to heavens is one of the Masterpieces in this Restaurant
This restaurant offers traditional food from all over Indonesia. All the food that we ordered were delicious.

Kaihomaru: Crispy Baby Shrimps for Lunch
The ground floor and the first floor of our office building – Citiloft/Citiwalk Sudirman – are dedicated for cafes and restaurants. More than twenty eating places serving lunch everyday. But every day we are still struggling in deciding which restaurant to eat.
Kaihomaru, a Japanese Restaurant, on the 1st floor is the solution that we always take, when we don’t know which one to go. The dishes are light, yet satisfying. My favorites are shibaebi karaage (crispy baby shrimps) and sake onigiri (salmon rice ball)

Bale Raos: Royal Cuisine ala Kraton Yogyakarta
A few times I had dinner with my family in Bale Raos Yogyakarta, which was located inside the Kraton (Palace). I really loved the ambiance of the restaurant. Very Javanese and very royal. As for the dishes, not so much that I could remember.
Bale Raos had opened its branch in Jakarta in Kebayoran Baru area. The atmosphere was different than that in Yogya. Very ordinary. And still, there was nothing special about the main dishes, although it was written in the menu, that this dish was the favorite of this Sultan and that dish was the favorite of other Sultan. However, the traditional desserts were very very very good. Will be back for the desserts.

Eat New Orleans: Tasty Local Dishes
Based on our friends’ must go recommendation, while in New Orleans we went to ‘Eat New Orleans’ for dinner. The restaurant – located in French Quarters, not far from the famous Bourbon Street – was so small and somewhat overcrowded. Fortunately, we had made reservation in advance and we got cozy table in the corner.
The selection of dishes that they offered was limited, but all of our orders tasted great.

Ketoprak Ciragil
Karena tempatnya yang relatif sempit dan susah untuk mencari tempat parkir, saya belum pernah makan di warung Ketoprak Ciragil ini. Biasanya saya meminta sopir saya untuk membelinya dan makan di rumah. Ketoprak paling enak yang pernah saya makan hingga hari ini.
