I don't think there are a lot of Spanish restaurants in Jakarta and to narrow it down even more: good Spanish restaurants in Jakarta! Plan B, Javanegra & Por Que No are some of the good ones that pop in my head if you spontaneously bring the topic, anyway recently I was invited to have lunch at this restaurant that I've been wanting to go but haven't got the chance (and now finally did!) called Tapas Club, this franchise is originated from Singapore (and they also have one in Malaysia) and their Jakarta branch is located at Setiabudi One precisely next to St. Ali!
Following the success of their Apple Pie, McDonald's Indonesia just recently launched their newest addition to the Apple Pie family: APPLE BANANA PIE! In this entry, I am going to make a short and brief review of this particular product, which I believe is going to be trending real real soon!
One thing that's funny to me is the fact that the more digital the life that we live in, the more I realize that the photos that popped on my Instagram feed are getting more and more analog with film-like feel and even more amazing, the fact that analog photography is kinda re-living and getting more fans, you don't know just happy I am!
Okay now this is exciting: the famous BAKE CHEESE TART is finally opening in Indonesia with Jakarta (particularly Grand Indonesia) being where the first outlet is located the country! The cheese cake and tarts trend is really booming here in Indonesia, particularly in Jakarta and the amount of new businesses focusing on this particular product is really getting a bit insane! I remember when it hasn't opened in Singapore, the only place where I could buy their cheese tarts is in Hong Kong (and last year I happened to visit Hong Kong more often than Bangkok), and in certain ways I am so glad that more and more famous foreign food businesses are coming to Jakarta and expand here, making it super accessible for us to purchase their stuff.
Makna Coffee is a new venture by Makna Creative, which is a creative studio owned by Ernanda Putra and Keenan Pearce. Just earlier today I managed to visit this coffee shop which just opened yesterday (August 9th 2017) in Kuningan City and today they're having a IDR 20k flat for all coffee. I got the Iced Cappuccino for me and not sure whether it was pretty packed the time of my visit that they made the coffee with such pace but the coffee had this burnt taste to it leaving a rough aftertaste on my palate, but was it horrible? Not at all. I believe they can do better and I need more future visits too.

Anyway they have limited seating capacity outside the coffee shop, and I think the coffee shop's meant more for take away (aka Grab and Go), the coffee shop also shares the same space with the Makna Creative office which guests can't freely go in and out, but can definitely peek inside through the glass wall and the connecting door. I didn't take any pictures of the space I honestly tend to get lazy when a restaurant/cafe/coffee shop is crowded.

Last night I was invited to come to the private viewing of Lewis and Carroll's latest venture, their flower market in collaboration with Atelier Fleuri and it officially opens for public TODAY at Central Grand Indonesia UG fl, special thanks to Edward and Natasha for having me last night.
I used to dream about cafes with "Aoyama Flower Market" vibe to it since I really-really love that cafe and it's always in my Tokyo must visit list, and the dream is sort of coming true thanks to this collaboration, to be completely frank technically they're not the first florist-cafe in town but theirs is the closest to my personal taste, not to mention the touch of rustic and how they put the combination of 'tea' and 'flower' as the main highlights. Nope I won't be talking about every single flowers that's available for sale here or the complete details of tea that they're having, the private viewing last night included several tea sampling and a dinner set (which I didn't take because I was freaking full). I never had unpleasant experience when it comes to their teas and I love how they always give informative details to tea newbies like me including which tea to choose in case you want to have the chilled teas, and about their flowers, they will change their collection at times to add more 'colors' and vary in options.
This post will be more like a gallery post of things that I managed to capture during my visit here last night. Enjoy and if you have further questions drop them below or as usual, DM me on Instagram.
Some of the flowers here are imported for quality adjustment and to be frank I was pretty shocked when I saw the price tag and how they sold certain flowers in a bunch to be that cheap. Anyway if you happen to see the word 'a bunch' here that means per 5 pieces!
Beautiful dried flowers
Lavenders
It's kind of them that they actually allowed us invites to choose the hand bouquet as souvenirs!
Pink flowers say what!
To be completely frank, my first time seeing Rose Cappuccino <3
Hydrangea!
Peonies!
Pink babybreaths are the prettiest! Seriously a lot of too pretty eye candies here!!!
Cotton flowers that I overly abused for my Instagram related photos!
Another generosity of theirs, they also gave us the freedom to choose the terrarium to bring home!
Opted for this one, pretty ait??
For those who wonder yes they still serve food here, and expect to find new sweet and savory menus that differ from their first outlet in Jalan Bumi and talk about their interior design, I feel  like both are pretty equal when it comes to they homeyness each offers but the vibe was so much different, I like their first outlet better since I love minimalist open space white venue but this one was certainly beautiful too, overall still very minimalist, neat and clean!
Flowers and pretty overdosed but I don't mind! A very vibey place where you can have simple comfort food, tea time over good cakes and together treating your eyes with the beautiful flowers selections that you can take home too! Flowers and good tea what's not to love?! The best of luck to both Lewis and Carroll and Atelier Fleuri!
