En Dining

En Japanese Dining Bar is now open at Crystal Lagoon, Senayan City, LG floor.
i haven't tried this one before at EX, guess why?? yes..bcos the place is so classy-expensive looks like and it relates to the 'wallet thing' hahahha. Because of the new opening restaurant, they give 50% promo discount ended last week...yippieee...so last weekend me & bf decided to have our dinner there...it's a rare opportunity!!

Photos taken from lobby stairs & EN's Main entrance
The place is located at the special design of Senci, the circle-glass building at the main lobby, the best spot in Senayan City, i guess. At first, I think they build that additional building for just an art reason hehehe, but actually they don't. En's main entrance is from Crystal Lagoon, LG floor. It has two-floor. 1st floor is just like ordinary Japanese restaurant, tables, vip room, and tatami, while the 2nd floor is the Japanese bar. The place is comfy but the chair is not quite comfy enough (some of them are backless chairs). My seat is rather private than public. They are quite large space between one another, so it's a perfect seat for me! no crowded noisy people around us hehehe

The service is excellent. The waiter is easily to find and they are always ready to serve their best to the customer. One waiter poured the sauce to my bowl when he brought our sushi order, it was my 1st experience like tat, i duno if other fancy restaurant served like that hehehe...oh, and they always re-fill my ocha before i asked them to..!! ha.ha.

For the food, this time we start with our fav Jap appetizer, Chawanmusi. It is steamed egg custard with mixed of chicken, shrimp, mushroom, and don't know exactly the others. It is YUMMYYYY...this one comes to my number 1 list, beat one in Sumire.
Chawanmusi (22k)

I continue with the sushi, since i'm not a fan of raw food, i ordered California Rolls and Tiger Rolls..both of them are TASTYYYYY....it's so fresh..the rice, and all the topping is really fresh and crispy when u bite 'em...i like both!! This is like in Rakuzen's, maybe better...

California Rolls (56k) Tiger Rolls (78k)

I also wana try the ordinary Jap food, Chicken Katsu, again...it's DELICIOUS.. even if it's just ordinary chicken katsu but they cook it in their own way. crispy yet tasty!!!!!!!! plus the LIP-SMACKING sauce, it's just like liquor-sauce and there's sesame on the top. i'm not good at explaining the ingredients tho hahahha..I'm starving at that time so i also ordered this expensive Gohan (it costs 12k) in completing my Chicken Katsu.Katsu Chicken (58k)

My bf's choice for the main course is Crab Chahan. It is Japanese fried rice covered with crab soup and soft shell crab on top. I guess it is 'kepiting soka'. It is DAMN GOOD....and quite big portion..!!Crab Chahan (85k)

We chose macha ice cream for dessert. This green tea ice cream is average, not as special as the food i ordered. It's better Cream&Fudge's n Haagen Daaz's.
Macha Ice Cream (18k)

We were very very full..these sluruppp yummy food are really worth! aside from the price, it's a bit overprice, but hey..it's 50% disc hahahaaa...We're fully satisfied when paying off the bill..
En Dining is surely one of the best Japanese restaurants in Jakarta.

High school reunion 2009

After 4 and a half years we graduated from SMUK-4, two of our friends (we call them, the EOs: BJ n AHA) suddenly invited me via FB to join the small reunion. Wow...i was so excited yet had a little doubt of it..!!! it will be our 1st reunion...meeting my old high school friends...will it be fun? or will it be boring? cos i almost lost contact with them all. but i always like hanging out n gathering with friends, well, no further explanation, i just love it!! so i decided to come tat Sunday evening at Glass House, Pluit.


1st high school habit: they were late for almost 1 hour!!! even the EOs still not there hahaha.
The invitation is at 6.30 p.m. when i arrived there at 6.35 p.m, there are only 2 persons, my friend, n his gf. Actually for me it's out of my mind, ur gf/bf join the school reunion..come on...it's reunion, the time u re-meeting and sharing ur story with ur old school friends (no offense to those who brought their partners yesterday..). i also came with my bf, in my case, we knew each other in high school, started our relationship on the 1st grade and we're still be together, so this is also our reunion, our friends, from the same batch, the same high school.. =)

2nd high school habit: gossipping and narcissism!!!
As we met each other, we started talking, laughing, and taking pictures...a lot!!! it's so much fun hahahha :D we're kind of sharing stories n etc..Reunion is also the best time to meet up with the x-ers :P yeps, n this topic can be caused a hot gossippp...hihi some people caught in an action with their x, well, they're just having a lil chit chat, but still...interesting and potentially to become a hot gossip...!!

Eniweiii, how about high school love story?? As i know, in our batch, there are 3 couples having a relationship since high school. but unfortunately, 1 couple ended their relationship about a month ago, so there's only 2 couples left. and I'm the one of them :) yeah..no one ever know what will happen next, it's God business..!! so we'll see later...
3 of our female friends have just got married, and 1 friend has already had a daughter..but none of them came to the reunion..too bad!

Last but not least, we've grown mature and we're adults! Some people change, some are still the same (physically n personality sides). Yeah...people change...i agree with tat statement! Some are totally changed and some are not, just a little changed hahaha complicated though! and 80% of us have already graduated but only 60% got a job already hehehe..Due to the global crisis, it's not the best time for a job seeker! so good luck everyone..

in conclusion, my uneasiness before is wrong, totally wrong!!! I had so much fun meeting up with them all..It's not 'garing' but go with the flow hahaha yeah..i know it's one of my talents, i can talk n adapt easily to different people, different environment, and i always have a topic to be talked. Again, i love to smile..it's the best way to melt down the atmosphere :)

see ya friends..
