Hello fellas, this time I would like to share my experience at Sambal Tapas - Outdoor Lounge and Pool Bar - Sheraton Bandara Hotel, Jakarta.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the recent holiday season (Eid Mubarak Holiday), My wife and I and our son visited the Sheraton Airport Hotel. This was not our first time
there. We have been eating several times in the restaurant there, but this time
we were curious to enjoy the outdoor lounge at Sambal Tapas.</div>

We were so interested because the location was good and seemed
to be a nice place to relax while enjoying the breeze from the lake and watching the sunset. YES!! Can you imagine that?!?!?! Up to this point...thumbs up!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We chose a seat overlooking the lake with views off than
facing the pool. And it was indeed very spectacular. It was like we were not at the airport area at all.</div>

No sooner had we sat down, we called up the staff to order drinks
and snacks. Sambal Tapas staff immediately came over us carrying a list of menus
on Ipad. Pretty high tech, huh! He provided us with an explanation of
the amount of servings of food/snack at this place. Since this was a Tapas (means bar), so the food/snack provided had smaller portions than those at the
restaurant, but the drinks would be in bigger vessel than the restaurant, but of course the price would be different.</div>

My wife ordered Green Apple Tea (my wife's favorite
beverage at the Sheraton Airport Restaurant) and I ordered Platano (mixed juice of orange,
banana, and syrup). <span style="text-align: center;">For the snacks we ordered Croquetas (fried mashed potato balls mixed with Parmesan cheese and covered with bread crumbs)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not too long, our orders arrived. And we could not wait to
taste it. But apparently the <b>disappointment began</b>! My wife noticed that the
drink tasted somehow different from the usual. There are some ingredients
missing and the taste was not as good as before. I was trying to calm her by saying maybe they were running out of that particular ingredients on that day.</div>

But it went on! I was also very surprised when I tried my
Platano. I ordered this drink because there was banana in it and it is our son’s
favorite. So I thought he would like it, but after one sip, he refused
to have some more. I wondered why? Then I tried it myself and I realized why our
son rejected it. It was quite <b>sour,</b> and the banana flavor was very thin. </div>

Even worse!! Croquetas that we ordered was very horrible!
<b>Bland </b>and no cheese flavor at all!! This time we could not take it anymore. We again
called the staff and filed a complaint. He said he would convey our complaint
to the chef and let the chef talked to us.</div>

Croquetas IDR 35,000/portion (4pc of potato balls)</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just for a moment and a very
young chef came directly toward us. And guess WHAT!!! The first sentence that came out from his mouth was : "Yes, what is it?" My wife and I immediately looked at
each other shocked to hear that. That kind of question in our opinion was very disrespectful.
If we were his friend maybe it was okay. But we were his customers and were
complaining about his food, I think he should have asked in a more appropriate question such as “How can I help you sir/madam?”<br />
<br />
Come
on!! This is Sheraton!!!!<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We told him that the Croquetas was very bland and we couldn't really taste the cheese. But the chef said the Croquetas indeed taste like that, no
salt is needed because the saltiness would emerged from the cheese. And he insisted it. My wife asked him “So, you are saying that it is because
we are so used to salty food out there that we find your Croquetas bland?” And he
responded “Yes maybe”.<br />
Seeing that kind of response, we did not want to argue
any longer and we said okay, if you said so then we requested for a bottle of chili
sauce, otherwise we really really unable to swallow that plain croquetas.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Horrible! The relaxing superb atmosphere soon turned out to
be really sucks! Drinks were not good, moreover the snack, and the CHEF! OMG, very
disappointing! We were wondering was the chef at Sambal Tapas a trainee or real
chef? Or a replacement chef while the actual chef was on leave due to Mubarak
Holiday??</div>

what a wonderful place to relax...but too bad....</div>

I think Sheraton Bandara Hotel need to do much improvement on the Tapas. Too bad. Such a lovely place, and nice staff around the hotel, but the Tapas !!!!!???? drinks and
food were so unexpected and the inappropriate behavior of its chef. </div>

My wife is a great fan of Japanese food especially Japanese home cook. Once in a while she will ask me to bring her to her favourite Japanese Izakaya the Kira-Kira Ginza at Blok M to enjoy authentic Japanese home cook. The authenticity of food served in Kira-Kira Ginza always bring back her nostalgic while she lived in Japan 13 years ago.<br />

<br />
It's not any elegant classy Japanese restaurant that we usually see in the mall. Kira-Kira Ginza is an izakaya. Izakaya is a Japanese informal drink house that usually serves drink and some home cook dishes. Don't judge the book from it's cover, Kira-Kira Ginza serves one of the best authentic Japanese food in Jakarta and it is inexpensive!!!<br />
<br />
Once you step into the izakaya, you will feel as if you are in Japan. The interior and decorations are all traditional Japanese style which is dominated by wood furnishings.<br />

Kira-Kira Ginza provides private tatami room for 4 people, 6 and 10 people. We are usually sitting at the private room for 4 people if it is still available. It is more comfortable for my son to wander around and we won't feel too guilty towards other customers if our son make too much noise lol.<br />

They actually offer two choices of Chazuke. Another one is Sake Chazuke, the rice with salmon flakes. The salmon fish were served fresh on the top of the rice bowl and we will be given a tiny teapot of soup (yes a teapot!!) to pour on the rice and cover the lid for a few minutes to let it cooked. Sorry, I couldn't show you the picture of Sake Chazuke, because we didn't order that on that day. But we will share with you the picture next time we visit Kira-Kira Ginza again. </div>

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. There was no difficulties to get them to assist you. And the most important was they did not discriminate their customers like some restaurants and hotels where the staff tend to treat expat customers better. I am Indonesian and they treated us just the same like the other expat customers.<br />

This post is the continuation of my <a href="http://tactravelandfood.blogspot.com/2015/07/cafe-batavia-indo-western-food.html" target="_blank">previous post</a>. Last Sunday, after an unpleasant lunch, we took a stroll at Fatahillah Square, located in Jakarta Old City (<i>Indonesian</i>: Kota Tua). This spot is very popular among both local and international tourists and always crowded everyday, especially weekend and during school holidays.</div>

I will share a brief history of Fatahillah Square. Fatahillah Square (<i>Indonesian : Taman Fatahillah</i>) is a public square, which was known as <i>Stadhuisplein </i>or the City Hall Square in the past. In the center of the square is a fountain which was used as the water supply during the colonial era back then. You can see it in the video at the bottom of the post.<br />
<br />

It was a crowded merry afternoon. All the young, old, couples, families, children were all mixed together happily enjoying the fun attractions performed by local artists around the square. Some were cos-playing characters from the famous animations such as Hello Kitty, Doraemon, Mickey Mouse and even princess Sofia. Too bad, we didn't spot Queen Elsa yet, lol. Some were demonstrating their levitating skills (of course it is just a trick), and some even dressed up as characters in Indonesia Horror films like Kuntilanak (the one holding a dead baby), Sundel Bolong (lady with long hair and bloody hole on her back) and Pocong (moslem style zombie).</div>

In the midst of this crowd, food vendors and merchants certainly do not want to miss the opportunity to offer their products. They were toys, mobile phone accessories, clothing, bags, souvenirs etc etc. Almost like a night market.</div>

Later in 1991 an Australian native purchased the building and turned it into a cafe and opened for public for the first time in 1993.<br />

Our first visit here was around 2 years ago for breakfast on a beautiful Sunday. Unfortunately, it was ruined by the poor service, the waitresses were so slow and seems to be more attentive to expat customers than to the locals. Took quite sometimes for the food to be served and the taste was not pleasant at all. Last week, we decided to give it a try again after 2 years (it might sounds weird after our bad experience), but we do believe people will improve.<br />
<br />
Guess what??<br />
<br />
We were truly <b>disappointed</b> again!!! This time we came for lunch, it was pretty crowded now. First seeing the crowd, we were so excited, we thought the standard might have improved! but NO!<br />

Again, the service was poor, waitresses were slow! They were not very attentive to their customers. We asked for an extra spoon and it <b>never came</b> that we had to asked for several times. My wife asked for desserts menu and it never came, too, that my wife had to walked to the waiter and asked for it. We even witnessed the waiter served the wrong food to the wrong table <b>TWICE </b>on the same day<b>. </b>What was going on with this cafe ???<br />

Do you see frames hanging on the column? they are the desserts menu. The menu was printed at the back of the frame. It is indeed a very unique way, but what took the waiter or waitress so long to pass us one???<br />
<br />
We noticed most of the guests ordered local food, so we tried some. The taste was bad, the fried rice was not warm. The nasi campur didn't taste authentic at all, not even close! The only food that was quite acceptable was the satay, at least it was well grilled, and the peanut sauce was quite okay.<br />
If you have been reading my blog, you would have seen other fantastic Indonesian cuisine and tasty fried rice that we had at some other places. And the worst is, the price doesn't correspond to the taste, it is <b>overpriced.</b><br />

The only thing that we can truly enjoy here is the ambiance of 19th century Batavia and the historical value that the fact this cafe is actually located at our historical point, Fatahillah square. If you are looking for a place to enjoy live music, smoke and drinks, maybe this is the right place. There are quite a selections of drinks and liquor available. But if you're looking for a good food, this is not the right place.<br />

After quite sometimes, last Saturday afternoon, we took time
to stop by again to Restaurant Lara
Djonggrang at Jalan Teuku Cik Ditiro no. 4 Menteng, Central Jakarta. We’ve
known this restaurant since 6 years ago. And we still love it until now, especially we are a great fan of Indonesian food!</div>

For you, who have never been here, Lara Djonggrang is one of
the most recommended Indonesian fine dining restaurant. It has a very unique
and classic decoration that combines traditional Chinese and Javanese art and
culture that create a WOW sensation to every guest who comes to dine in.<br />

Out door dining area, but actually I am not sure what is this area for, because I saw two staff taking a nap at the other corner of this area. Maybe, this is the staff dining area or resting place.</div>

The
color of the walls, the statues, the furnishings, all looks very old and
antique but well taken care of. I know nowadays many people love to take selfie picture and I can assure you this is a good place for selfie!!</div>

What we love from this restaurant is the standard’s consistency.
For so many times we eat here the taste of the food is always fantastic.
Nowadays, many restaurants blame on expensive raw food materials as the cause
of the declining quality of their food. Apparently it does not happen to Lara
Djonggrang and this does win our heart.</div>

WICHever...a<span style="line-height: 115%;">n
interesting name for a sandwich café which has just opened not long ago in
Pantai Indah Kapuk (North Jakarta). It is quite a homey café with a simple warehouse style interior. This cafe serves sandwiches, pastas, coffee and tea. </span><br />

It was quite an interesting presentation, sandwich served on a wooden tray box, the fillings arrangement was quite a mess though, and a plastic glove is provided so you don't have to worry about smearing your hands. It's really a convenient way of eating sandwiches. </div>

My son liked the bun</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The bun is crispy with a generous fillings of the veggies, but I think the dressings were given too little and the choice of the fillings were too limited. It would be better if they provided pickles, olives, eggs or perhaps some bell pepper. Then it will be close to the style of sub sandwich they want it to be. Personally I didn't really enjoy the taste of the chicken soy sauce but the beef ham was acceptable.</div>

Incredibly shockingly inexpensive scrumptious French cuisine in Central Jakarta,<b> Le Monde Au Balcon</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Allo mes amis!<br />
<br />
Adventures in finding a good place to eat is always very exciting. In Jakarta alone there are thousands of places to eat that promises delicious food, good service, and of course a very competitive price. One of them, is the restaurant "Le Monde au Balcon" (meaning: The World at The Balcony), located in Thamrin Residences Apartement , 2nd floor (ruko/shop house area), Central Jakarta<br />

Outdoor seat which is at the balcony</div>
<br />
A few days ago we took time to stop by there. Initially we just wanted to order dessert. But, it turned out all the desserts were not available because according to information from the staff it's hard to get ingredients for desserts these few days due to Ramadhan holiday.<br />
<br />
Lucky for us that night was not too crowded, so we did not have to wait too long for the first dish to come out. It was quite surprising when we saw the size of the food. Usually in restaurants which serve fine dining menu, the size of the food is very small and does not seem to correspond to its expensive price. But in this restaurant the salad is so abundant. It was enough to be eaten by two adults. not only the size that was super generous the salad was very fresh and the dressings were well mixed. My wife loves it!<br />

La Salada Du Chef IDR 55.000</div>
<br />
While enjoying the salad, our second course Le Couscous Royal was served. Again we gasped, because the size is so large. The food presentation also looks very tempting, and frankly we have never ordered food like this before! Despite having name in French, this food is originally a Moroccan food. And this menu is the signature dish of Le Monde au Balcon. And the taste??? Absolutely scrumptious!!!<br />
It seemed we could not stop eating. Truly exceptional dining experience. We couldn't stop praising how delicious the food was. No negative comments at all!<br />

This was crazy!!!! Super delicious!!! the sausage, chicken, beef, radishes, carrots...all were so tender, juicy and blended well in your mouth. It came with a bowl of soup which is a little bit similar to our local "Sop semur" (stew) and Moroccan chili paste mixed with our local "cabe rawit" (chili padi) but it wasn't spicy.</div>

In the middle of our meal, apparently the chef took time to come out and greet guests who visited the restaurant. His name was Chef Nabil. He was very friendly. He chatted briefly with us, asking where we came from and how was the food. We told him that the food was fantastic and very sorry that we did not have the opportunity to try the deserts that night.<br />
<br />
Beyond our expectations, he was willing to make one desert for us if only we were willing to wait. And certainly we were! hoho ...<br />

That night at Le Monde au Balcon, we got a truly enjoyable dining experience. Convenient and homey place (although the restaurant was not too large), friendly services (thanks to Ms. Lidya - the staff who assisted us that night), and of course fabulous tasty food. One more thing that should not be missed to be praised was the price which was very reasonable.<br />

This article is actually part of the story of<a href="http://tactravelandfood.blogspot.com/2015/06/safari-cisarua-bogor-part-1.html" target="_blank"> our trip to the Safari Park</a> Cisarua some time ago. After traveled to the Safari Park, we decided to spend the night at Puncak because we were so exhausted.<br />
<br />
Well, on the way back to Jakarta, we took time to stop by Rindu Alam Restaurant, located at Jalan Raya Puncak. This restaurant is one of the icon at Puncak area and already very well-known since a long time ago. It is strategically located and has a spectacular view. Other than that the food was varied and tempting.<br />

<br />
Arriving at the location of the restaurant, I was brought back to my childhood nostalgic where I used to come here with my late Grandparents. It used to be our favourite pit stop. This time I was bringing my own family here.<br />

Entering the area in the restaurant, I saw not many changes to the interior and furnishings, still as of yore. Apparently the restaurant owners still want to keep the nostalgic feel of the restaurant especially for its loyal customers.<br />

The "Udang Bakar Kecap" (dark soy sauce grilled prawn). Don't judge a book from it's cover! The presentation might be messy but the taste won't mess up your day. It was very well cooked.<br />

"Kangkung cah Belacan" (Sautee Water Cress with Indonesian style shrimp paste). Unfortunately it was a little bit under cooked and I guess the chef has forgotten to add some salt. <br />

Ta da...the best seller Banana Split. It was a very nostalgic flavour. A real childhood ice cream taste.</div>
<br />
If any of you go to Puncak for holiday, take some time and make some short trip to this restaurant to try their food, especially the chicken. You will not regret it. The price ranges from IDR35,000 - IDR 85,000. And one more very important thing, the toilet is quite clean!<br />
<br />
See ya..<br />

You must be wondering why is it called Crazy Fried Rice? and what's so crazy about it? We call it nasi goreng gila in my language (gila = crazy; nasi goreng = fried rice). I actually not really sure why is it called that way. My guess is maybe because of the pretty large portion with various toppings. The chef dump everything into the fried rice, such as eggs, shredded chicken pieces, Bakso (Indonesian style meat ball), beef sausages and cabbages. You can request for non spicy, medium spicy or very spicy fried rice. This fried rice is usually can be found on Indonesian style food truck which is usually on the street side. We call it Pedagang Kaki lima or PKL. The direct translation is five feet vendor, because the the truck has 2 wheels, with one stand to support the truck when it's parked and two feet of the seller, so they are five in total.<br />

This particular Crazy Fried Rice that I had yesterday was sold at Situ Lembang Park, Menteng, Central Jakarta. A nice park for an evening walk and picnic.<br />
<br />
Here is the video of the park and the cooking process of Crazy Fried Rice toppings. You can choose toppings on plain white rice or fried rice.<br />

I guess most you especially those in Jakarta(Indonesia) and Singapore are familiar with this brand Twelve Cupcakes. I am not really writing a review about this popular cupcakes, because it will be like reviewing Mc Donald or KFC. I posted this pictures here because my wife thought they were so pretty and worth photographed and of course not only just the look, they indeed taste pretty good compared to other cupcakes that we tried at some other places which only look good but the taste....No No..<div>
<br /><div>
We bought this yesterday night when we were strolling around in a Mall. You can find Twelve Cupcakes in almost any large mall in Jakarta. This store often have attractive promotions such as buy four pieces and get two pieces free, or buy two and get one free, etc and these were what we got..<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Initially there was no definite destination where we want to go. Only want to get away, out of the house and relax, hohohohoho.....<br />
<br />
Long story short, our trip entered the city toll road. In the middle of indecision about where to go, we decided to try the famous street-side nasi goreng (fried rice) at Taman Lembang Menteng area in Central Jakarta. We have heard from many people that it tastes very good and that you have to queue pretty long to get yours served. But unfortunately it turned out to be a WRONG DECISION!!! Last night there were so many break-fasting gatherings in Menteng area, so the traffic became extremely jammed due to many cars parked on the roadside. It was nearly 8 pm. And just to pass a-500 m road we have to spend 45 minutes. That was crazy!!!<br />
<br />
I felt very sorry to my wife to choose a trip to Menteng that evening. A traffic-jam like this was certainly very stressful and frustrating. In the midst of turmoil heart, our distress was increasing because all of a sudden, I need to answer the call of nature, seriously!<br />
<br />
We must seek a toilet that was clean and comfortable, ASAP! But, we didn't know where and we didn't see any sign of Petrol station where we can use the toilet. Thanks God! suddenly I saw the building of The Hermitage hotel right a few meters away from our vehicle. We decided to go there as soon as we could. "Hotel certainly has a toilet that is comfortable and clean", that was what we had in our minds.<br />
<br />
Finally we arrived at the hotel. Wooowww! Seeing the hotel from the outside and a quick look at the guests who were waiting for their cars in the lobby, suddenly we felt very embarrassed. We did not dress well-enough for traveling to the hotel, especially for a hotel like this! Because we didn't plan to come here at all, moreover my son was in his pajama!!<br />
<br />
My wife insisted that we better find other place that was more "grounded". She was so worried that we would be despised and underestimated because of our appearance. But I told her, I did not know where else to go, and I was so desperate for toilet.<br />
<br />
Anxiously, we entered the hotel parking lot. We were greeted by a security guard and he helped me find a parking space and beyond our expectations, he was directing us to the entrance and opened the door for us. Hmmm...A very good start! (I thought in my heart). We used the elevator, and went straight to the lobby. While in the elevator, our son apparently smell a delicious chocolate aroma. And he immediately said,"I want chocolate! I want chocolate!" Arriving at the lobby, the first place we headed was certainly the toilet. At last! I felt so relieved!<br />
<br />
Since we were already in the hotel, we ventured around to look at the hotel decor. It was unique and very colonial. The hotel walls were predominantly in white color and the lamps were also very classic and old-style. There were many old-fashioned photos and paintings decorated the walls, including the pictures of our late president Bung Karno and his beautiful Japanese wife Ma'm Dewi.<br />
<br />
Actually we wanted to quickly get out and continue our journey again. But our son insisted to look for chocolate that he smelt in the elevator earlier. As a result, we asked one of the officers there, where we could find a cake shop. And we were directed to go to the lounge because there was a wide selection of cakes and drinks available.<br />
<br />
Entering the lounge we were again enchanted with the room decor. Feels so antique and aristocratic. The lounge was divided into two areas, namely smoking and non-smoking. We were served by a waiter who was very friendly, and willing to answer anything we asked. His name was Hada. We greatly appreciate his hospitality and willingness to serve us even though we were dressed very bad for the premises like The Hermitage Hotel.<br />

Seeing a cake in the display, our son was so excited. And he immediately pointed his favorite chocolate macaroon. My wife was also keen to try the lemon-meringue eclair. Apparently, they both very delicious. My son demanded for more and of course we stopped him.<br />

Besides providing snacks and beverages, Hermitage Lounge also provides a selection of light meals. And their signature is Soto Betawi which was cooked with Wagyu beef instead of offal pieces ("jeroan" in my language) and we decided to give it a try.<br />
<br />
After waiting a while, the Soto Betawi arrived. The appearance was very tempting and we couldn't wait to taste it right away. It was indeed remarkable! Very different from most Soto Betawi we've ever eaten before and it was quite spicy, it made it even more flavorful. It was quite a generous portion. We ordered only one bowl and we shared.<br />

Previously we've passed this cake shop for a few times, but today we have to resolve our curiosity to go in and try the cakes/pastries sold at this store.<br />

From the outside, this store seems about to carry the retro and classic style. It is seen from the awning in front of the shop, inscriptions and decorations in store windows. Entering the store, the impression was increasingly felt with a choice of table and chairs and sofa that are tastefully furnished and comfortable. Indoor decorations also reinforce the impression of retro and classic style the owner wanted to display to all the customers.<br />

Our choice finally fell on two types of cakes, namely: Ovomaltine and Butter Peanut Nutella as they seem very tempting. And in a fairly hot day and stress because of the journey that completely jammed, eat a sweet cake wrapped in chocolate could be a solace.<br />
<br />
Not long after, the cakes were presented in front of us. The appearance of the cake is pretty good and interesting, it is very clear that the cakes prepared by the hands of skilled and professional. We soon tasted the pastries.<br />

From the first bite we could tell that the cakes were made using premium ingredients, sweetness felt right, and no bitterness in the mouth. But I think the taste of the peanut butter in Butter Peanut Nutella, was not strong enough. In general we are quite satisfied with the quality provided.<br />
<br />
The cakery also provide selections of coffee and tea, both local and international.<br />

We usually go out and try new place(if we can) to freshen up a bit. And this Saturday our destination is the Intercontinental MidPlaza Hotel, Jakarta Pusat.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At first, we intended to only just hanging around in the lounge and sip a glass of squash, but unfortunately hunger creep over our stomach and mind again despite we have had our meal already 2 hours before departing. Therefore, we checked-in to this interesting looking Japanese restaurant, KADO, located at lower ground level of the hotel near the entrance from the parking lot.</div>

After a quick browse over the menu, we decide to try their specialty Kushiyaki (Japanese skewer or "Satay" in our country). We called the waitress to place our order, but I have to say that the waitresses were quite ignorant. We called them like 3 or 4 times, and nobody responded to us. I noticed they might be lack of staff, for 12-13 tables there are only 3 waitress serving us and it was pretty crowded last Saturday. There were one customer walked away because of waiting too long for his food to be served. He was sitting there for 30 minutes and nothing was served yet. We were quite shocked, but we decided to give it a try.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When finally we were served, here are what we ordered :</div>

My overall comment on the taste of the food is medium. I would give it a 3 out of 5 stars. However the best part is that the pricing is very pocket friendly, even college students can afford to enjoy Japanese cuisine and ambiance here. The price of the skewers start from only IDR 12,000@ (min order of 2). Ocha (green tea) drink is free flow. </div>

Super cool experience, not to mention the excitement on my son's eyes. He finally got to see Tiger and Lion up close and personal. My wife took the picture while I was in charge of driving. Despite the warning of not opening the car's window, my wife scrolled down our window just the size enough for the camera's lenses to take a sharp snap. She didn't want to miss the chance. But, of course we weren't that desperate to walk down from our car and had a selfie with those hot babes, lol.<br />
<br />
Let's begin from the first gate, actually 2nd gate. This area is quite a distance away from the previous carrot friendly animals and separated by two big automatic gates.<br />

<br />
I was encouraged by my wife to write a blog about our travel adventures and food journey as memories for the future, where we can look back and share it with our grandchildren, or can be as references for anyone who loves to travel just like us. I also have a Trip Advisor account and posted quite a lot of reviews about hotels, tourists attraction and restaurant. It has a very good response and in fact I am on the top 2% of Jakarta reviewers. Therefore, my wife suggested strongly that we should write a travel blog. My wife is a crafter and you can see her works and tutorials on her blog <a href="https://www.taccraft.blogspot.com/">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I will be posting about our trip to Safari Bogor as my first post. It is a very recommended family outing. When we hear the word Safari, our brain tends to associate it with hot humid weather, but not here at Cisarua Bogor. The weather is just at a perfect temperature our body would love. It is around 20-24 degrees celsius. The tickets are super reasonable, too.<br />
<ul>
<li>IDR 150,000@adult </li>
<li>IDR 140,000@ children age 1-5</li>
<li>IDR 25,000@car</li>
</ul>
There are different rates for international tourists, IDR 300,000@adult and IDR 250,000@children age 1-5. For more details of ticketing, you can check on <a href="http://bogor.tamansafari.com/">Safari website</a><br />
<br />
This is the first part of our trip to Safari. All comments are purely just my personal opinion. Hope you enjoy!<br />
