Back from Jakarta. Sick of Donuts.

I seriously can't remember when was the last time I went to Jarkata. Was it 2003? I only remember I got so sick after travelling to 3 countries in a short pan of 1week. That time it was Jakarta-Sin-Taipei-Sin-KL. I got so sick in KL and puked and still has to do presentation for the promoters from Malaysia. I can still remember how I puked noodles out from my nose! Gross right! Hahaha...

This trip was quite interesting cos we get to visit a few factories and see how the different knit factories work. But it can get very boring when we are stuck in the jams! Traffic conditions are still quite bad in Jakarta!

The high-end shopping malls are so posh lor! There are more brands then in Singapore lor.... This time round, however, I didn't spot as many "bird nest hair" tai tais as the last time already.
Only one. Disappointing!!! Hahaha....

Julie also brought us to a DAMN POSH estate by the sea to see how LAVISH the rich Indonesian lifestyle is! The houses are huge and they have a mini river as their backyard where they park their YACHT at the back!!!! How rich!!! Sports cars in the front pouch, yacht at the back! A lifestyle most will dream off!

Here's photos from the 2nd day of our trip! Food and Donuts!

Jimmy, Julie and Linda brought us to this famous Indonesia restaurant for dinner!

All the ladies waiting for our food to arrive!


I don't usually eat or drink coconut but that night I just agreed to have 1 and I didn't regret.
The coconut was so refreshing!

I have macro this - look at the translucent flesh of the coconut!

It was having a good time scrapping and eating the coconut!



Traditional Indonesia fare!
Very delicious!
Too bad I can't eat crabs....
Angie says that this gravy was superb!
Damns!
Gado Gado
Very authentic taste - a bit different from what we have here.
Delicious grilled mini lobster!
Actually it looks more like a giant prawn...Hahahaha...
It's grilled to perfection and the sambal chilli that goes with it is "O-so-nice"!
The sambal chilli has cucumber bits inside - adds an extra bite to it!

J.Co donuts!
Julie and Linda bought a 2nd round of donuts for us on the 2nd day!
Although we were very full after dinner but the donuts look so appetitsing!
So the 4 of us decided to split and share so we can try all the different
flavours!

Somehow the donut in the middle reminds me of something...
Hahahaha!!!
2 boxes of 12 donuts for the past 2 days!
Wow - that makes 24 donuts for the 4 of us!

The remains of the Krispy Kreme donuts from the previous day.
The difference between KK and J.co?
Krispy Kreme like all american food, is richer and sweeter in taste,
whereas J.Co's donuts have a lighter taste.

Weekends with the Sistas

A pretty leaf pattern on my cappucino!
The coffee was so strong I can't sleep til 4+ am that night!


Amber and John shared this...
But I dunno what it is.... latte?
The leaf pattern is even prettier!

Suddenly John found something very glaring shining at his direction!
