In our second week in Jakarta, Indonesia I caught up with an old friend accompanied by my sister. We decided to meet at a modern looking restaurant. This restaurant is in an elite shopping complex in South Jakarta – Pondok Indah Mall. The name of this restaurant is Warisan Bu Lika (Mrs Lika’s Legacy in English). The service is very friendly, the room decor is pleasant and not excessive. The menu is quite interesting. We started with delicious rissoles and croquettes as an appetizer; and my favorite drink of iced grass jelly while my sister chose a fresh juice. For the mains we chose soto betawi, oxtail soup, satay with soy sauce, and grilled spare ribs, all of which looked appetizing but unfortunately they apparently were in a rush to prepare our orders so that made all the meat less tender. Our suggestion is to pay attention to this because no matter how good the spices used in the dish are, the meat must still be tender. Due to our disappointment with this we didn’t order dessert, which was a real shame as everything else tasted perfect. Some time in the future I’d return to have coffee and enjoy their delicious rissoles and croquettes.

Minggu kedua di Jakarta – Indonesia saya bertemu sahabat lama saya dengan ditemani saudara perempuan saya. Kami memutuskan untuk bertemu di restaurant yang berpenampilan modern. Restaurant ini ada dipertokoan elite Jakarta Selatan tepatnya di Pondok Indah Mall. Nama restaurant ini Warisan Bu Lika. Pelayanan sangat ramah, ruangan cukup menyenangkan dan tidak berlebihan. Menu yang mereka tampilkan cukup menarik. Kami memulai menu pembuka kami dengan risoles dan kroket yang enak. Juga minuman kesukaanku es cincau, adikku memilih fresh juice. Untuk makanan utama kami memilih soto betawi, sop buntut, satay with bumbu kecap, iga bakar, semua kelihatan mengundang selera hanya sayangnya mereka rupanya terburu-buru untuk menyiapkan jadi menyebabkan semua daging kurang empuk ketika dimakan. Saran kami supaya ini diperhatikan karena seènak apapun bumbu yang dipakai tetap daging harus empuk. Karena kekecewaan ini kami tidak memesan makanan penutup, ini benar-benar sangat disayangkan karena semua sudah terasa sempurna. Mungkin kapan-kapan aku masih ingin ngopi2 menikmati Risoles dan kroket mereka yang enak itu.
