PLAZA SENAYAN
Our day started a bit late as we had to recover from the late night travel. Our official tour guides for the day were SLS’ pretty wife Eve and their li’l boy Joshua. First up was at a foreign exchange center called Dua Sisi in Plaza Senayan. The exchange rate was about US$ 100 for IDR 900,000+. There’s not much coins in this side of the globe, mostly paper money. Lunch was at an Indonesian resto called Waroeng Kita (which means our small store). Their specialty was ox’s tail cooked fried and with soup and nasi goreng or lemak which was actually their variant of fried rice.
PACIFIC PLACE
Next we went to Pacific Place where Kidzania was located. I will not be able to give justice to the Kidzania experience just by telling you a story but every parent should have their children experience this totally different concept. It’s one of a kind, at least from my punto de vista. It’s like a small community, to name a few establishment- a gas station, an automobile dealers, a race track, a hospital, an electric company all in a small scale just right for kids. They have practically everything covered. The kids get paid salary for the experience and whatever they earn, they can use for some rides and buy stuff. If only I had the resources and time, I’d copy the concept and bring to Pinas. Dinner was in Y&Y resto with SLS and family. Imagine having dinner on a sailboat placed inside the mall. It was a totally different experience for the touristas.
SENAYAN CITY, ET. AL
All visitors from Jakarta have great things to say about J.CO Donuts so it was my time to try it and they were so right. The donut literally melts in your mouth. The donut show was led by J.Co in ID with Mister Donut, Dunkin’ Donut relegated as supporting casts. After some donuts and coffee at 11PM, we had a couple of drinks at Pure Resto and Bar. The bar’s name sounds pretty mundane but it offers a commanding view of the Jakarta skyline at night and revolves in certain times during the day hence giving you a 360 degree view of the city.
