Motykas in Asia 2015 Part 4 - Jakarta

On the second day of year 2016, all of us went to Medan Baru, a restaurant specializing on food from Aceh, a north eastern province of Indonesia. Most of the dishes are curry based, but our curries are very different from Thai or Indian curries. Various dishes are brought to you in small plates upon your arrival and at the end you pay for what you eat. Thinking about this makes me hungry...

From here we went to Ombe coffee in North Jakarta but I do not have pictures of that either. I do have a time lapse video of our drive there though!

From north Jakarta we moved to Pondok Indah Mall in south Jakarta. It was a rainy afternoon...

Variety of fresh fish

Snakeskin fruit (Salak)

I think this is the tallest she's ever been!

I can't really remember what we did after the mall but the following day was a Sunday and we planned to go to church. The church was in central Jakarta so we went to hang out at Plaza Indonesia, a mall in the same area. Attached to the mall was the Grand Hyatt hotel. We originally wanted to have some cake at their cafe/lounge but the cake selection was very limited. In the end, we just took pictures there and headed over to the mall and had desserts there.

After the mass, we went to north Jakarta area for coffee and dinner. Oh, DH and TM also got a haircut (photo below). What do you think? Pretty good, no?

For dinner, we had Korean BBQ at Born Ga. Yum yum yum....

Makoli: a Korean rice beer

Before heading home, we made a quick stop at another mall....

And finally, the day after we went to Singapore we chillaxed at home and Miss Kiki got treated to a bike riding lesson.

That's it for part 4, stay tuned for Part 5 - Singapore!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan. I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka because they had a sale. In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana ...
