I have been neglecting this blog for so long, I hardly have any readers left. Maybe it is time for rebranding of this blog. What do you think? Any ideas of another topic that I should blog about? :)

Jakarta Trip - Day 1: Breakfast

Author: SabahanCuisine  //  Category: Odds&Ends

I didn’t mention it here, but to those of you who visits my main blog frequently would know about my very very short trip to Jakarta earlier this week. You can read more about it from this post onwards, there will be bits and pieces describing the trip along the way, but the posts here will mainly be about the food during the visit to Jakarta.

We arrived at the airport around 11 p.m. and the first advertisement board I saw at the arrival hall…

 Indosat Signage

We got to our hotel at 12 midnight, but my     sis and I was resting on the sofa for a while before we joined the rest of the gang at the reception. That’s when I saw the time on the clock and asked sis to take a photo of it.

Time of arrival - wall clock behind the reception area

I looked around and noticed that the restaurant is just next to the hotel lobby. Of course I checked out what’s the current promotion ;)

When everything was settled, we rested well in our hotel rooms to be ready for the day ahead of us. The very next morning, I just had to sample the Betawi food, so filled my belly with some nice free breakfast.

Nasi Kuning

Nasi Kuning with fried tempe with flour, baked beans, omelette, chicken sausages, crackers, and deep fried chicken  with fruits on the side and a glass of apple juice

Nasi kuning! Oh yeah! Nasi kuning means yellow rice in Malay & Indonesia language. I’ve been wanting to eat this for months, but couldn’t find any in the local restaurants around my area. I’m too lazy to cook some for myself too :P I’m happy with that food I picked from the buffet breakfast, except for the baked beans. It was hard and doesn’t taste nice at all.

croissant

Banana cakes, croissant with thin slices of cheddar cheese and marmalade jam

I still had room for more so I got myself that soft, tasty croissant. The banana cakes were nice too. I was definitely looking forward for the next breakfast at the hotel :D
