Just had my lunch at this newly opened restaurant called Vue46 and I just can’t wait to share my experience with you, and most importantly, since my experience was a very good one, it’s still fresh on my palate.

I remember I had this conversation with a foodie friend of mine not so long ago. We were chatting about how often we ate out that it didn’t actually excite us anymore as we have sampled the very good ones to the worst ones. To be honest, I did put a little expectation towards this particular restaurant as I really wanted my palate to be elevated with something new and never had in Jakarta, or else you can just say that I need to have something rich in my mouth.
Fondue (read: von du) restaurants are rare in Jakarta, the fondue trend has never been a big thing in town.

But if you’re a fondue person, look no further than Melting Pot in Plaza Senayan, this place serves SERIOUS fondue dishes.


Finally after quite some time, Grand Hyatt officially re-launches The Residence ONFIVE for public! I attended the reopening party just earlier and here I am sharing my experience with you.
It’s funny that when I actually shared a collaged picture on my Instagram, so many of you thinks that it’s actually some kind of a buffet restaurant. Since it’s going to take me a little more effort to reply to you one by one on Instagram, let me spill it here: it’s NOT.
We came to one of my most favorite entries of each year: revealing you guys my recommendations on where to go for Christmas dinner in Jakarta this year! Time flies so fast and I literally can’t believe that I am making another Christmas post, it didn’t feel like a year after the last post! So far, 2015 has been an incredible year for me and eatandtreats. I have been running this blog more professionally, while I still want every single thing to be very personal, and I can’t thank you enough for supporting eatandtreats from the very first time, to my old readers and my new ones, I literally can’t get here and do this all without you, so I genuinely want to thank you guys very much!

I feel like hugging each and everyone of you, so here’s a virtual one for you.

What is your idea of a Christmas dinner? Spending your private time with that very special one? Spreading joy with your family? Or basically both? For me, personally, Christmas is all about joy and sharing, I love the concept of “the merrier the better”, I love those loud dinners with good food, good drink and good people. I hope that the places that I recommend here really are the good ones!

Do note that this is NOT a ranking list, nor an advertorial. I value the restaurants on this list based on how I personally see their performance with the food, the service and the ambiance. I realize that not everyone is a foodie, and I definitely understand that some of you care about the pretty place for pictures more than the food, don’t worry I got everything covered! I want to give you guys a fresh update, so these followings are the restaurants that I visited this year. I love Emilie and AMUZ, and honorable mention to them, but I haven’t got the chance to revisit them this year, but I think they are worth considering, and I choose not to include any buffet restaurants on this year’s list.
