Glass House at MGM Grand Macao

If you're ever in Macao .. you must visit the MGM Grand ..
They have this huge glass house that is decorated beyond words..and just leaves you speechless!
Buildings are built with an inspired Spanish influence!
Its an outdoor garden within the glass house!
Think of birdcages, flowers, garden seats, plant and trees ... and giveaway is there's birds within the cages!!! -actual birds ... creative but pity because the air conditioning is super cold!
It is a gorgeous place at day time and so romantic with Christmas lights at night time ... there are bars, lounge and restaurants on the side so its a beautiful place for a definite date!
Just lovely!

Last Christmas at Pand'Or

Last month's Christmas we had a family gathering slash dessert night at Pand'Or - Jakarta Selatan (near Blok S) .. 

Pand'Or offers a warm and cozy place ... i LOVE it .. 

Food was a so-so .. but the Warm Crepes : Doea Cinta is a must try! 

Psssssttttt .. i LOVE those rattan white washed oval sofa!!! =D

Pand'Or is also a bakery / pattiserie / cafe-resto .. they sell fresh baked bread and cookies .. 

it's a lovely place for Brunch with the Ladies .. 

Recommend it if you're looking for that Home Cozy Feeling!

Afternoon Tea @ Huize Van Wely - Kemang

Huize Van Wely 

... well known for its truffles and tarts, resides in the funkiest building .. The Papillion - Kemang . 

Had a set of coffee and cake of your choice .. 

Price was a lil' above international rate .. but they do serve very fine cakes .. 

One i do recommend it the Chocolate Raspberry Dome Tart (picture above) .. it is quite a sweet creation with Raspberry Jam and Marshmallow in the centre .. which deliquesce for your tastebuds .. It reminds of "Wagon Wheel" cookies for me .. which brings back so many memories of when our family just migrated to Sydney .. 

Anyways, this place is quite quiet and also serves main course, gelatos and fine afternoon tea .. 

If you are around Kemang area and looking for something a lil' high class for an afternoon sip and taste or a fine Western slash Dutch inspired menu then Huize Van Wely is the place .. 

Meradelima Restaurant

Meradelima Restaurant serves fine Olde Traditional mixture of Dutch, Chinese and Indonesian Cuisine .. 

This one that i went to is one that just recently opened in South Jakarta near Wolter Mongonsidih Road .. It is an olden dutch inspired house that's been renovated =) 

No pictures of food but i rather show you its interior =)

Which also is a mixture of the three .. 

Desserts @ Social House G.I

Cheesecakes .. Pecan Pies .. Choc Volcano .. Cocktails .. Mocktails .. Martinis .. Pizza .. Cakes .. Tea .. Coffee .. Social Bar .. Winehouse .. Resto .. Bistro .. Overview of Jakarta's famous roundabout - Bunderan H.I .. and of course, Funky Interior!! 

.....................................

If that sounds good then visit Social House at the top level of Harvey Nichols - Grand Indonesia .. but it does get busy and crowded =)

Cocktails @ Casa Kemang ..

 Yes it has been too long that I paused my blogging ... at this phase of busy work time ... I am trying to get my social life back on track .. 

My long-distance friend Angelika, has just visited ... took her to some Hawker Street food in Jakarta Town but our last stop was to have drinks @ Casa - Kemang .. 

I first got introduced to this place by an editor friend Lia ... and loved it eversince =) 

Its a great place for light snack food .. for drinks (cocktails in particular) .. for a discussion and a fun relaxing time. 

They offer a cosy dim place with lounges and armchairs of such a simple design yet funky colourful pillows!! Reminds me of a Swiss Design .. 

Oh!!! They also ............provide small group games like UNO Stacko (Genga) and Classic Deck of Cards .. 

Sorry for the almost-pitch-black photos .. 

This place is a nice visit!
