Oh.. and if we use the wet tissue, we have to pay extra for Rp. 500/sheet.- Deep Fried Dice Chicken with Chilli Rp. 58.000
- SoonHock (fish) with Fresh Chili 300 grams Rp. 108.000

It was a really nice lunch, not only because of the delicious food but I also had a great laugh and chitchat :)
p.s: I was so impressed with the watermark that Criz Lai made for Precious Pea, thus I emailed and asked him whether he would make one for me. As you can see on the pics in this post, Crize Lai designed a special logo for me and provided the instruction on how to do the watermark. I'm so happy. Thank you so much, Criz! I love it! You really made my day! :)

ReplyDeletepam: It is a delicious feast indeed. Happy Chinese New Year too :)
pearl: Happy Chinese New Year too :)
livie: That's a good choice! The most delicious and expensive one, hehehe...
Yum yum, a fitting feast indeed! I wonder how xiu long bao tastes like with chicken though?
ReplyDelete550ml jar of faith: If I'm not mistaken mostly well known franchise chinese restaurants in Jakarta such as Din Tai Fung and Nan Xiang are halal. I'm not sure how to tell the difference between the xiao long bao with pork and chicken because so far, all xiao long bao that I've eaten is halal :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great feast ^o^
ReplyDeletenoobcook: Yes, it was :)
ReplyDeleteGong Xi Fa Cai!
hey! wonder how the CHinese food over there taste like.
ReplyDeletenice watermark. maybe I should consider one, for aesthetic values. doubtful anyone would wanna use my pics. haha ....
j2kfm: Hehehe... you gotta try yourself the Chinese food in Jakarta. I will say it is very good but for some people, they are not too happy with the "halal" part because how can Chinese food has a perfect taste without the porky thing (not only the meat but the oil, the aroma, etc.).
ReplyDeleteThanks, I love the logo actually instead of the watermark ;)
Hey... no body knows... like me, I also never thought that anyone would use my pics but... surprisingly some people are using my pics in their blogs, and guess what? All without my permission at all :( but at least they put the source of the pics.

ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like good food and good company. Happy Chinese New Year!!
ReplyDeletehistory of greek food: You are right :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Chinese New Year too...
Happy Chinese New Year, looks like you had a marvelous time and enjoyed some wonderful food.
ReplyDeleteHappy CHinese New Year to you! I loved seeing your pictures... they took me right back home to Jakarta. =)
ReplyDeletewao plaza indonesia? I wish I am there anyway, I am going for Bali on next month for tour :) I wont try out the chinese food there of course, I will go to the road site there for local food. Do you have any idea what is the best food in Bali?
ReplyDeleteohh, it looks like you had quite the delicious dinner!
ReplyDeleteyummy. Gong Xi Fat Chai
ReplyDeleteLooks like quite a feast to ring in the New Year.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful feast indeed! Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeletethank you for letting us see all these wonderful food available there. would not have known it's such a food paradise!
ReplyDeleteThe interior looks pretty nice! I like the xiao long bao; it looks very plump and juicy in your photo. I haven't had the red bean paste pancake in a very long time! It's a very good dish to eat though.
ReplyDeleteKatherine aucoin: Happy Chinese New Year too, Katherine.
ReplyDeleteYes, I really had a great CNY lunch :)
jesse: Hello Jesse, thanks for dropping by at my blog :)
Ah… you are from Jakarta? Not coming home to celebrate CNY?
steven goh: Wow… you are going to Bali? That’s great!
For sure, I will recommend "Babi Guling" - the best suckling pig at Bu Oka located in Ubud.
If you like seafood, then the famous place is in Jimbaran beach, there are a lot seafood restaurants that you can choose. Well for me, I think the seafood is just ordinary but definitely the atmosphere there is very nice especially watching the sunset :)
If you like to eat duck, you can try "Bebek Bengil" in Padang Tegal Ubud, it will be nice experience eating there because the restaurant is in the middle of rice field.
Another place that I would recommend is "Warung Made" restaurant in Seminyak Kuta. It's a nice place to hang out. You can try the variety of Bali food but the food there is a bit pricey because a lot expatriates like to go there.
heather: Yes indeed and also great time with my ex-supervisor and colleague :)
ReplyDeleteIndonesia-eats: Gong Xi Fa Cai too! And thanks a lot for your email :)

ReplyDeletepixen: Hi pixen, xi nian kuai le to you and your hubby too :)
ReplyDeleteHow nice for people who really celebrate the tradition of Chinese New Year. I know that each day starting from the 1st day of CNY has a meaning and also what to do until the 15th day (Cap Go Meh) if I'm not mistaken then the feast will end. I wish I could be part of the CNY's tradion coz' I never had CNY reunion with family nor received any ang pao from them, hahaha :D
Enjoy your holiday!
cariso: Gong Xi Fa Cai, Carsio!
Happy Chinese New Year Selba!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. I am surprised there are no Turkish restaurants in Jakarta. I wonder if you could find phyllo dough to make baklava yourself..
I ate Indonesian food a few times and I really enjoyed it. One of the things that I had and enjoyed was, the beef stew that is cooked for 4 hours with coconut milk, lemon grass, galangal and some other ingredients. I forget the name though. Can you tell the name from what I just explained?
Have a good week.
mediterranean turkish food: Hi there, so great to see you in here :)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, till today, I haven't found any Turkish restaurants here in Jakarta, but yes, there are a very few Greek restaurants which has some similiar food like Turkish food.
Oh.. I know exactly what kind of dish you meant, it's called "Rendang", you can click here to see the process of making it (my cooked it) :)
Happy Chinese New Year too!
I love your watermark! It is so cute! How kind of Criz Lai!
