There are not a lot of gourmet burger houses in Jakarta so it's quite easy for me to refer to when people ask me where to have good burgers in Jakarta. The Republic of Burger is definitely on that top part of my list. A week ago, I took my brother to have lunch at their Kemang branch (which has been around for a year +), they have several outlets spread around town, but the Kemang branch is personally the one that I like the most, it might not the most spacious, but has access to the warm daylight (if you're lucky getting the seat by the window), and somehow more spacious than their previous Cipete outlet.
I just came back from a packed but relaxing trip from Jogjakarta and I brought back a lot of stories that I can't wait to blog, and I promise you will see that in a few days. I am sorry for you guys and ultimately for myself that for the past two weeks I haven't been blogging actively, that's because I have so many projects that I need to take care and I've been travelling constantly, but hey that means I am saving tons of stories to share to you.

I won't be talking much in this post because this will be one of those picture gallery post, so I am SUPER thrilled for the launch of the new Terminal 3 Ultimate which by the way just started opening for public a few days ago! The new airport owned by Angkasa Pura is HUGE & GORGEOUS with majorly minimalist-industrial design and a lot of glass, for some reasons kinda remind me of Kuala Namu Airport Medan and Kuala Lumpur International Airport! Since it's still on the soft-launch phase, it's clearly not perfect yet (nor will it ever be) as construction is still happening and it will definitely take some time to finish everything.
Garuda Indonesia flights will be operating in this terminal.

My first major trip to Hong Kong was around two months ago, and I just came back a few days ago from my second trip! I honestly feel like exploring the city even more and actually planning to live there for a month, I could definitely tell that I love Hong Kong very much just basically from staying there for several days, making it easy to convince myself that it is one of my most favorite cities in the world. I always have hard time explaining why I love certain cities, but I know I just love it. There's a certain charm and the look of the city that reminds me of Singapore, only Singapore is clearly cleaner and more-organized, but somehow the imperfection of Hong Kong is in fact the main reason why I really love the city, and not to mention, THE GOOD FOOD.

I did not plan to come here at all, I just finished a meeting at Native Coffee where I accidentally looked at the left side of the street and there was this huge "HE.BREWS" sign, I told my brother to turn around and had a cuppa coffee here before going to another appointment. He.Brews is another new coffee shop in Pantai Indah Kapuk, located at the Ruko Plaza - Pantai Indah Utara (align with Kafe TIA), it's located in the same level and sharing the spot with Chapter Nine shop. I must say I love their coffee and I can see that they're pretty serious with it. The character of their coffee reminds me of Native's to be honest and that's not a bad thing because I really-really like Native's coffee. Price range for coffee here starts at IDR 30k.
At this post is written, they're having the "pay as you like" promotion, but I always remind everyone to pay as they deserve :). The soft opening days is around next week. Do check out their Instagram for more details.

I am typing this post right now in my Mongkok apartment with concern and I literally can not sleep, I am in the middle of this horror of what is predicted to be the biggest typhoon attack in Hong Kong after a very-very long time and right this very second, the current view from my bedroom is both rain and wind that are getting stronger and stronger. I really hope everything is okay and the typhoon magically disappear.
