Valentine 2013 // Wet n Wild Giveaway Winners

Behold, the belated post of my Valentine's day dinner date at Scusa, a comfy, modern-stylish Italian restaurant located just inside Intercontinental Hotel, Jakarta. :)

\\ THE MENU \\
The menu was placed under this round glass, made a nice decor and also cleverly served as a placemat.

\\ THE FOOD \\
↑ Sweet Water Prawn Cocktail with preserved lemon ↑
 Lobster Bisque clams, langoustine and spinach tortellini ↑
 Sole Fillet zucchini and herb flan, tomato-basil chutney and saffron reduction ↑
 Wagyu Beef Tenderloin Parmesan potato cake and truffled veal jus ↑
 Chocolate Cake fresh cream, marinated strawberries and vanilla-almond ice cream ↑

\\ THE PLACE \\
The whole dinner experience was nice, the food was pretty in presentation but average in taste. The appetizers - Prawn Cocktail, Lobster Bisque and Sole Fillet were great, but we expected more for the main entry and dessert, which I thought weren't very good.

The ambience was casually romantic, the whole place was dimly lit, each table was presented with a pretty red rose for the lady and decorated with rose petals and a candle. A Jazz duo performing live on stage and romantic music would fill in whenever the musicians took a break or two.

Oh, and because it was Valentine's Day, the place was packed, I mean, REALLY packed with young couples dressing up and sitting across from each other, eating and throwing awkward conversations lol. So, if you are looking for a more private place, this might not be it. But if you're looking for a more casual-yet-you-can-still-dress-up fine dining moment, you know where to call:

Chatty Saturday

Last weekend my friends and I spent our Saturday together at Chatter Box, Central Park. Actually it was the first time I visited the place, I didn't even know Central Park had Chatter Box.

The atmosphere of the place was pretty cozy for catching-up with friends, you can laugh your ass off and enjoy a conversation without another table getting annoyed because the space between each table is quite wide.

However, the service was a little bit disappointed, like they took a very long time to serve anything (even mineral water!!) and the waiters were also too busy chit-chatting with each other so we have to wave hysterically just to get their attention. FOL!


Ok pictures time!!

This is the only food pic I managed to snap, since I was kinda late and everybody had finished their main courses.

Party is not a party without these 2 people.

Meet Olivia and Venny - My skin care gurus. ♥

Santo, a GOLD medal winner of ASEAN skill competition for design. - Diana, nevermind. - Rudy, my best bud and also a talented graphic designer.

Diana was freaking excited to take a picture with us.lol.

Take two!


Anyway, I want to share one of the stories that made us laugh really hard yet confused at the same time that night (I promised my friends I would put this one in my blog wtf).

There's this guy, a friend of my friend, who has a slightly weird hobby. One day, he went out with his friends to a restaurant. He didn't order anything. Not even a drink. And no, he's not that economically poor. 

Then right after his friends had finished their meals, he ASKED THE WAITER TO PACKED THE REMAINING CHILI SAUCE for him to take home!! Fyi, chili price had not increased by the time this happened HAHAHAHAHA his friends were like, "WTFFF...... Dot dot dot.......".

Guys,
Please don't try this at home. Or anywhere.
Sincerely,
Girls.
