Restaurants Review
October 02, 2012Due to lack of free time, this is just a quick review of a few of the restaurants that I have visited. I'll write what I ordered if I still remember, and post pictures that I took. Will update frequently, so bookmark this!
*Note that these are all my honest opinions and all the prices are Indonesian Rupiah. Example: Tea(20) means Rp.20.000.

6. Lucy In The Sky
Located in Fairground, rooftop garden concept. Bad service. When I came there's only like 3-4 employees and so hard to call them. The food took so long too. But I like the fact that some of the ingredients for some food are self-grown.
