Heaven on Earth!

Ungeeky in Library
Last week, I went to Bibliotheque for a lunch with my family. The restaurant was established around 2009. I’ve never went there before, so when Disdus offered a voucher, I bought it and gave it a try.
As you enter the restaurant, you will be astounded by the gigantic planted-library-wall. They used ‘library’ theme for the restaurant as that is the meaning of the restaurant in French. Massive...

Everything has its guideline.
How a person achieve it, it’s their own choices.
And we have no right to force them do it with our ways.
We can’t compare what...

Hola España!
It’s been quite a long time I’m drooling over nice Paella. Here in Jakarta, it’s not easy to find one. There’s only a little of Spanish restaurant in the industry. Suddenly, my eyes stopped at ‘Tapas Movida’ while I read some magazine. Voila! A Spanish restaurant!!

Second Chance
They say everyone deserves a second chance. Just like any other people, I gave Luna Negra a second chance. The first time I went there, I didn’t have a good experience. Am not saying that they were bad, I’m just unsatisfied.
This time I ordered the Asian Sweet and Sour Salad with Grilled Beef (63k). I had this before too and keep looking for more. This is one of the great salads.
I ordered...

Hello Dragon!
It’s the season of orange, candied fruits and basket cake. Yes! It’s Chinese New Year!
When it comes to Chinese New Year, you know, it’s the season full of feast. Days of eating very scrumptious-sometimes-oily meals.
