came to Sushi Tei with Miss Sunshine for dinner before I left Jakarta. Lots of people kept recommending that I try this place, saying that the food was really good.
The restaurant and ambiance was nice. It stayed pretty busy throughout the night.

Thanks to my colleague and friend, Surin Tan, for inviting us to have tea time while in Jakarta.
This amazing place is located at the East Mall Grand Indonesia and is called “Ninety-Nine Restaurant.”
This is my second time having tea there and it did not disappoint! The restaurant has a luxury, open-garden setup with mosaic tiles and offered fresh baked goods. I wish I could have tea time or meetings there every day.
I started off with fresh coffee and a delicious Dark Cherry Tart and Pistachio Cake.
The quality of the dessert and bakery are great and I really enjoyed every bite. I can’t wait to go back again.

I was super excited to invite my co-worker to join me for a great dinner at Ohana, which is located in Disney World’s Polynesian Village Resort.
They had an awesome display with Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
The lobby has such cool statues.
installation are amazing
My friend and colleague, Emily, came.
As well as my friend and colleague, Gigi.
The restaurant is known for their Polynesian cuisine served buffet-style, character dining, and unique theme. You can enjoy a Hawaiian-style dinner with storytelling and games. They also offer a character breakfast with Lilo, Stitch and a few other Disney friends.
I definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time.
Emily is taking a break, and preparing for the feast that awaits us.
The restaurant has an open kitchen.
Here, a bunch of skewers are ready to be served. The buffet is an “all-you-care-to-enjoy, family-style feast” that is served right to your table. It also includes coffee, tea, and soda.
For starters, they bring out the “Ohana Pineapple-Coconut Bread.” I really enjoy it but try not to fill up on bread since there’s so much food still to come. They also offer a mixed greens salad with a Lilikoi dressing.
There are pork dumplings tossed in garlic-ginger sauce and honey-coriander chicken wings.
Both are served with peanut and sweet and sour sauces.
We also had teriyaki noodles.
My friend and colleague, Larnna, was excited about the food too.
Each time they come to your table, they bring fresh skewers and they’re unlimited so you can take as much as you want. Two of the skewers they offer are the Sweet-n-Sour Chicken and Szechuan Sirloin Steak
.
My favorite was the Spicy Grilled Peel-n-Eat Shrimp prepared over an oak fire, served on Skewers with Peanut and Sweet-n-Sour Sauces. It was so good!
Here’s the famous Ohana Bread Pudding à la mode topped with Caramel Sauce and Bananas.
Larnna couldn’t wait to dig in!
Since it was Larnna’s birthday, they brought us two bread puddings!
I had an awesome time!
Just a tip, if you want the pineapple dole whip, you can find here, at Pineapple Lanai.
Orlando’s Magical Dining Month is one of my favorite months, plus it helps support organizations such as, Best Buddies and the Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida.
My friend and colleague, Gigi, suggested we try A Land Remembered, which is located inside the Rosen Shingle Creek hotel.
A Land Remembered is known for their quality beef and unique dining experience.
My friend and colleague, Wendy, and her family also joined us.
Here are Wendy and Gigi, getting ready to order.
Here is the Magical Dining Month menu with the options we’re able to choose from.
Their butter is one of their signatures and is shaped like a Florida alligator.
The Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes were highly recommended.
Wendy ordered the Steakhouse Wedge Salad. I think the size and portion was great for an appetizer.
Lobster Bisque is my favorite soup so I had to order it. They didn’t skimp on the lobster chunks. It was delicious!
This is the Blackened Red Snapper with Crawfish Cream Sauce.
The 6 oz filet mignon was top quality!
You also have the option to upgrade, for a little extra money, to a 16 oz New York strip steak.
I ordered the 16 oz New York strip steak.
This is the chocolate mousse cake.
The Warm Pioneer Bread Pudding was very good. The size and presentation were perfect!
Thanks Gigi, for the great recommendation. The food and service were excellent! I definitely plan to come back next year.
This was my second time having Rujak in Jakarta. I ordered it from the same vendor as Joshua’s office — very nice people and a great deal.
The Rujak (Indonesian spelling) is a traditional fruit and vegetable salad dish from Southeast Asia, commonly found in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.
The dish is mixed sliced fruit and vegetables served with spicy palm sugar dressing. You can pick and choose whatever fruits you want and there are some fruits that are only available in Asia, such as yellow watermelon and jack fruit.
Indonesian Rujak is typically made from fresh ingredients and is a very healthy snack with some spicy dipping sauces. I highly recommend trying it if you ever get the chance.
Near my office, in Baldwin Park, there are some great restaurant.For lunch, I went with Larnna to check out Seito Sushi . I was told that this restaurant is owned by some of our Full Sail grads. I really love their installation. It’s very fresh and clean.
I was told that this restaurant is owned by some of ou
The decor is simple and modern.
They have a nice wine collection.
On their lunch menu, they offer ramen as a special combo for a great price. The staff mentioned that the noodles in the ramen are house-made and fresh, like Ippudo.
I chose to try the Shoyu ($14) which is similar. The bowl has fully roasted chicken stock, grilled chicken thigh, onsen tamago, sweet corn, and braised carrot.
The Tonkotsu looked great, especially the braised pork belly! The broth looked super creamy. It takes up to 24 hours to make and also comes with a soy egg, bean sprouts, beni shoga, and nori.
