Found a restaurant Jamie's Italian in Vivo City tonight. Yes there are books by Jamie Oliver in the restaurant and some photos of him but don't hope this is his restaurant as I suspect it's like a franchise or representative thingy as I asked the staff has Jamie come here he said no not even once. Anyway forget about the name, the food is great there, must be his recipe.

I have to add too that the staff there are super friendly and helpful and obliging, really like them.

Lobster for two




The steak


Ham burger


The three of us had a great dinner there. Must go back.

Coconut rice as in our nasi lemak is known as nasi udud here in Jakarta. Ingredient in nasi udud is basically same like egg and small fish but most of the time also have grated coconut. Nasi udud is like a breakfast meal or supper, famous nasi udud is known to open late like 9pm till early morning.Most if the time I will have my breakfast in this restaurant known as Penang which serves Malaysia and Singapore hawker food

Cover of menu


Therefore here this dish is known as nasi lemak Picture from menu and price


As a matter of fact I'm writing this in the restaurant now having a plate of KL Hokkien Lo Mie

Indo not speak Bahasa Indonesia just some Malayu so communication can be a little tough however most businesses are conducted in English. Business in Indonesia is great but because my is a new start up its a struggle so far but I am very positive.
