CONGRATULATIONS NEO SOHO SHOPPING MALL FOR FINALLY OPENING!!!

It was a quality time for my family as we went to the opening of the mall and spent some time in both Neo Soho and Central Park (as they have this connecting sky bridge), both the shopping malls are located in the Podomoro City complex in West Jakarta.

They have this NEO Experience space where customers are free to enter and relax inside while "accompanied" with fashion arts from Sofie and Sav Lavin.

You can get this connecting bridge shot from the fourth floor.

If you ask me what's the main difference between Central Park and Neo Soho and why are they located close to one another? Well it's mainly because both the malls are built by the same developer (Agung Podomoro group), but it's the size and concept that differentiate them. Central Park is one of the largest shopping malls in Jakarta, and Neo Soho is smaller, a little more urban-segmented, youthful but fit families as well. Overall, I find myself liking the design of the mall, it's just simple without being pretentious.

Since they're still on their soft-opening days, construction is still happening and little details are being touched up, I would say they're 25 more percent from being finished.

This post is going to be a photo tour, NOT review - I don't freaking review malls.

CENTRAL DEPARTMENT STORE IS OPENING HERE!!! It's a high end department store from Thailand which first opened in Grand Indonesia, it sells a lot of high end fashion items, make-ups, home amenities, bed linen and more!

As for the tenants, I see that they're adding more touch of local brands and establish fashion spaces like "District One" & "Moejoe Man" where you can shop for various fashion items like clothings, accessories, eyewear to Batik outfit. Fashionable watch enthusiasts should be thrilled of knowing that The Watch Co also opens here.

There was an event happening at Our Daily Dose, a concept store mostly focusing on fashion.

Tanamera pop up coffee booth! They gave me an iced cap as complimentary.

As a foodie myself, one of the things that I should love about Neo Soho is their Open Kitchen, which is a nicely designed food court (almost cafe like) located on the fourth floor where you can find yet again, local establishments. It literally feels like you're in a food court/bazaar with various stuff to choose starting from light bites, main courses to desserts.

List of food tenants that's opening and will be opening in short time (as this post is written): Born Ga, Chef Tony's, Coco Ichibanya, Go!Curry, Gyu-Kaku, Hejo-Hejo, Holycow!, Imperial Lamian, Kkuldak, Marugame Udon, Pablo Cheesecake, PappaJack, Kitchen by Pizza hut, Provence bakery, Rejuve, Rotiboy, Shaburi, Wendys and Sanukiseimen Mugimaru.

Two stories below the Ground, you can go and find more restaurants like Pizza Hut, Marugame Udon, Shaburi (I had dinner here last night), Imperial Lamian, Kkuldak and many more! Pablo Cheesecake is opening here as well!

The Rotiboy queue, they're having the buy one get one promotion.

Kkuldak love <3

So glad that Shaburi now has their Tom Yum soup damnit!!!!!

The bridge light will illuminate at night creating a beautiful sparkling path to walk on <3

Looking forward to what they have in store after everything else is ready and open. They are currently building the largest shopping mall indoor aquarium on their LG level and automatically becomes the first and largest one to date (rumor has it that the construction will finish on December 2016). Don't forget to come and take a 360 degree picture at the Life At 360 where your profile will be taken with 360 degree camera with direct upload to the mall's Instagram account.

THANK YOU FOR READING!

Rainbow Vanilla

Loving the Vanilla cream on top, you can find hint of cheese infused to the cream, not a big fan of cheese but this one is still very tolerable for me.

Last Saturday was such a happy day!!! Why?

Because two important girls in my life were having their birthday!!!

Before I start reviewing, I want to give this to Karina Astria for treating me and a few friends on her birthday at this new fancy restaurant in Central Park. I just want to greet you the coolest happiest loveliest life you can ever have and thank you for the friendship so far :). Friendship means the world.

Luciole Bistro is a brand new french themed restaurant opening in Central Park and it's located just across Nanny's Pavillon and Starbucks SOGO. I adore restaurants like this, like this by meaning that it has its own building, not parts of the mall interiors. I just love looking (and entering) fancy looking restaurants. This restaurant is pretty eye catching due to the lamps, especially by night.

Here are some photos of the exterior and interior to give you the idea of the restaurant so you won't get lost when you go here (which I'm pretty sure you won't).

This is their menu. I am a graphic design student and I just love a classy, in the same time fun looking menu design and this is certainly one of it, I love the blue color they're using right here. Daebak!

Another awesome illustration <3.

Okay I'm going to finish the opening and go straight to the food, because I know you guys love the food more than me :"( *overrated drama.
