Saung Grenvil: As Yummy as Those Offered by Street Vendors

The most delicious Indonesian seafood is actually those offered by street vendors such as those along Jalan Pecenongan and Gunung Sahari in Jakarta.  If you don’t mind the dust, the fumes, the humidity and the smell,  along-the-street food-courts can be a fun place to hang out.  But if you prefer a clean, air-conditioned room, go to Saung Grenvil at Jl. Wahid Hasyim instead.

Nasi Uduk Pak Jhon: the Best-selling Food Stall in Bintaro 9 Walk

Most of the food stalls in ‘Bintaro 9 Walk’ sell well only on the week-end nights.  Only few can attract many patrons during week nights.  Nasi Uduk Pak Jhon is among the few.  Every night is a busy night for Pak Jhon (this is the correct spelling of his name) and his batik uniformed servers.

Planet Hollywood Jakarta: Goodbye, Terminator

After more than 2 years, we finally went back to Planet Hollywood Jakarta and expected to be greeted by the “Terminator”.  But we were in for surprise.  Not only that the Terminator and the movie stars stage had gone, the glamour, the dashing and the Hollywood atmosphere were also gone.  Replace by a dull warehouse-cum-movie studio interior design.  Fortunately, the foods were still, even more tasteful, than before.
