(very quick) lunch today.
The place had just opened a few days ago, so everyone (I mean the staff) look a tad uptight, nervous, and inexperienced.
Fish flown twice a week from Tsukiji Market? How's that for fancy!
Cold latte (unsweetened, special order).
For some reasons I take my coffee bitter nowadays. Maybe I'm getting old or something.
Le cheapest item on the menu, Chicken avocado sandwich on Focaccia.
You know what they say, "judge a restaurant by the cheapest food on the menu"
Well, that...and I only have IDR 70,000 left on my wallet and I think I maxed out my credit card yesterday. LOL
After eating 3/4 of the sandwich...
Erique: (after asking for the bill) waiter, please tell the chef that the avocado is too raw. It's bitter. It does NOT taste good.
Waiter: Certainly, sir
and then...
Waiter: (upon handing me the bill) I've informed the chef, sir. We'll try to do better in the future.
What, NO DISCOUNTS?? *annoyed grunt*
Bloody inexperienced amateurs.

did u scream "PELAYAAAANNNNNN" ala the cows at the pelayan?
No. I just click my fingers to call waiters.
LOL just kidding.
But hey, this was inspired by ACTUAL events! I have seen quite a number of Indonesian tai-tais who click their fingers at posh lounges to call waiters (or to call their personal attendants). Yesterday, spotted a tai-tai that kept on clicking her fingers to call her personal shopper at Alun-Alun (Grand Indonesia). Here's her quick stats:
Race: Chinese
Hair: brown, big, curly, crispy, HIGH, fresh-out-of-salon look
Bag: Gucci Indy (silver & black)
Shoes: Gucci
Clothes: Something like Sebastian Gunawan would design
you've just describe 90% of the tai tai population...
Got to this blog from googling "pacific place restaurants jakarta", funny and entertaining :) Keep on writing!
lol. you should've brought more money with ya.
cos the pizza with different kinds of mushroom is incredibly, even though its bloody expensive
also the steaks ( wagyu beef) are awesome
