PAULANER BRAUHAUS MUNCHEN

Last week I went to this place called Paulaner Munchen in Grand Indonesia. Really tickled my curiosity. Try to go there during dinner time and so on. You will find a very long queue in front of a security gate (yeah, like the one in front of hotels and airport).

I thought it's like a bar with hip clubbing music cause the place is famous for its beer.  But actually, it's an eatery with cool rustique interior ( there's a King Arthur's castle style of chandelier), up-scale pricing ( They have exactly the same drink menu and price as Kempinsky Hotel's ), and pretty people hanging around.

For the menu set above, they charge you Rp. 250.000,-. To be honest, the foods were just so so..but it's a place to see and to be seen anyway =)

SOUTH BEAUTY JAKARTA

I was so excited to visit this restaurant as few months back, I read about the interior review on architecture interior magazine. The entry hallway is exotic. As it dominated with black and gold colour, the painted wall, the laser cut and..the iconic mask. 

 

But entering the dining area, I kinda lost the 'wow' feeling, i think it was because they let sunlight in too much and ruined the lighting.

Talking about the food, they are very well presented.

This cucumber-tied lettuce with peanut sauce and blueberry jam....

kungpao chicken, etc etc.

It was a pity when we order the pig ribs, first they served it in a very nice basket, but it couldn't be served on the table as it's too big. Then, they have to move everything to several smaller plates. Aw didn't get the chance to photograph the first one =(.

When u order, beware! When the waiter ask if u want the medium or hot one, do not under estimate it. We ordered the medium one and they burned our stomach. They are quite salty as well.
But they are very satisfying after all. The price ranges also vary. Worth to try =)
