Banned from Furama! Sort of.
I was joking with JAD the other day about them posting a picture of me at the front door of Furama Restaurant, and not let in for their great All You Can Eat Dim Sum anymore.
Well, when I walked in this afternoon, it basically happened! I had ordered my drink, when one of the supervisors came over, and announced that you could no longer order the AYCE with one person, you need a minimum of two.
Needless to say, I wasn't happy, after taking a taxi from near Plaza Indonesia to come here. I asked for the manager, and after some discussions about the fairness of a just dreamed up "rule", I was given my last chance at solo dining.
Now, I know I'm horrible abuser of their special. It's not even that cheap any more. When I first started coming in April, it was only 55k++, it's now 80K++. I go and have a brunch and cover a couple of meals. If you're going to advertise a special, you should stand behind it.
Maybe I should find a sumo wrestler who can join me? :)

Fatburger @ Plaza Indonesia
With the new extension open at the Plaza Indonesia there are lots of new restaurants open. I gave Fatburger a try and it was pretty awesome - ordered a triple (as per the the pic) and the beef patties were soft and juicy (not overly greasy). Set comes with a choice of sides - I chose onion rings and they were crispy and hot. Recommend upgrading your drink to a freshly made real ice cream shake. Very reasonable price of Rp110k for the triple burger set. Enjoy Jakarta! AsianRain
Face bar / lanna thai / hazara
Had a great time here with my date. Classy Thai and Indian food, very tasty. Plus a cozy cocktail bar with lots of foreign correspondents businessmen and NGO staff. Manager is Dutch Indonesian and is friendly towards all guests.
One thing the prices are quite high but quality of food, decor and service makes lots people coming back. Ah its tucked away between Graha Mandiri and Mandarin Oriental and its not easy to find since its also very dimmed at night. Jalan kusuma atmaja 85 Menteng.
