Eastern Promise in Kemang

Eastern Promise in a pub and restaurant located at the very beginning of Kemang raya Jakarta. Expats love to spend their nights here drinking beer, watching football or other games, joining the pub quiz, play pool, or even just to chat with new friendly faces.

While for me, I love to come to Eastern Promise for their british indian food. They serve various sorts of curries like Chicken Tikka Massala,Tandori Chicken,Lamb samosa, and my favorite Beef Bindaloo,the spiciest menu of them all. The price is very reasonable averaging IDR 60.000-70.000 per menu. Usually accompanied with a portion of naan bread (either plain, butter or garlic) for IDR 20.000.

The food here never disappoint me! They always keep the standard high and satisfying tasty food. I could easily nominate Eastern Promise as one of the best Indian food I could find in Jakarta. Whenever I do not feel like eating a big meal, I could always order their french fries with a real Dutch like Mayonnaise with extra onion on the side and enjoy it as I used to enjoy it back in Holland, it taste the same here! Love it!

Anatolia in Kemang

Recently I have been to a nice Turkish Restaurant in Kemang called Anatolia. The decoration of this restaurant is very authentic with quite a deem ambiance, lots of hanging light decorations and colorful walls.

The menu that attract my interest is the menu at the first page where they offers a three-course meal for IDR 160.000/pax. In the beginning it seems to be quite a pricey offer, but when I saw what are the food included in it I thought why not give it a try.

For the set menu, I got a very nice appetizer platter with hummus, salad, shrimps on mushroom, followed by a mix lamb and chicken kebab which i replace with chicken and shrimp, and a sweet pumpkin dessert with vanilla ice-cream.

When I saw what they serve, I was quite impressed. The serving was nicely presented. The food for sure was more than enough. The hummus is one of the best i found in Jakarta. The mix chicken and shrimp were so delicious accompanied with thin breads, rice pilaf and creamy mayonnaise.I have all that I love in the three set menu.

It is so worth the price I paid and I will definitely come back for the same menu and I will make sure to bring some friends to enjoy smoking the Shisha.
