Courtyard Restaurant - Jakarta

My mom and I just came back from a birthday dinner of my mom’s close friend. The birthday dinner was held at a Chinese restaurant named Courtyard at Plaza Indonesia on the 3rd floor.

This restaurant has a very nice ambience and the food tasted really good. Too bad, I didn’t get a chance to see the menu because the food was already ordered, so I've no idea of the names and prices of the food from this restaurant. Well, I think I will come back again someday to try the other food.

  27. Have not tried Chinese Restaurant food as yet. The food can be presented better I think. It should be quite expensive as standard of living is higher in Jakarta.

    ReplyDelete

  35. You go to the most interesting restaurants Selby. I go to restaurants for the food but I also go for the ambiance, which I think makes the difference in your experience.
    I've never seen long beans in a market - only in photos. What do they taste like?

  36. my carolina kitchen: Long beans is a good source for protein. We usually like to cook it1/2 way (Sauté) in order to have a crunchy/crispy and tender texture. Hope that you can try it someday :)

    TNG: I like most of everything related to Chinese, ie.: chinese food, chinese language, chinese songs, chinese cultures and chinese guys! LOL
