Lan Na Thai: On Jakarta’s Busiest Street

You may have passed this restaurant many times and yet you don’t notice its existence.  Occupaying a regular house, without parking lot and on one of the busiest street in Jakarta – behind  Mandarin Hotel and German Embassy – you bound to miss this place. Fortunately, the restaurant provides valet parking service.  Once you were inside the restaurant, you would be transformed to another world.  Classy, Antique and tranquil.  Not to mention that the food is excellent.

Bogor Cafe @ Hotel Borobudur

Its legendary “Sop Buntut” – a Javanese style oxtail soup – maybe the best in Jakarta.   However,  to have to ask for “sambal” and “acar” (chilli sauce and pickles) to the server every time we order oxtail soup that should be served automatically is a little bit annoying.  By the way,  I vote Handayani’s oxtail soup in Surabaya as the best oxtail soup in Indonesia.

Maybe I am no supposed to put this “Wandering Minstrel” under My Clown collection.  But since sometime a clown has to become a minstrel in a circus, so I just put it here.  And anyway, this minstrel dressed up like a clown.
