Trip to Indonesia (1): First Time Family Karaoke-ing

Date: 29 November - 1 December 2008:
Location: Changi Airport Terminal 1, Plasa Semanggi: food court, Shabu Tei restaurant and Inul Vista karaoke lounge, Bubur Ayam Djoko, Pondok Indah Mall

Yes, after going to Plasa Semanggi on our first day in Jakarta, we went there again on Sunday, for us to try karaoke-ing for the first time at Inul Vista family karaoke lounge there, upon recommendation of my sister-in-law, Via.

To be frank, this was our first time going to a karaoke lounge with the whole family, and both Inka and especially Irza were really having a great time. :) If I knew that the kids like to sing, I would have been bringing them to K-Box in Singapore more often. :) :) Thanks tante Via for bringing us to the karaoke lounge, we really had a great time. :)

Prior to karaoke-ing, we had dinner at Shabu Tei restaurant, also as per Via's recommendation. Although Inka enjoyed its chawanmushi and salmon sushi, however overall the food is not really that great and it's very much overpriced, even for Singapore standard.

Earlier today, after going to Cinere to settle some banking matters and for the kids to enjoy Bubur Ayam Djoko for breakfast, we went to Pondok Indah Mall to have our lunch at Sari Ratu restaurant there. My wife was very much craving for authentic Minang-style Padang food. The kids were also having a great time playing at the arcade centres (Timezone and Fun World) there.

Before we left, my mother purchased some donuts from Krispy Kreme, the original root version of the doughnuts currently served by many other outlets like Donut Factory in Singapore or J.Co in Indonesia. However, for me, I would still prefer J.Co's version or Donut Factory's version of the doughnuts, except for the glaze donuts. Even the kids like Krispy Kreme's version of the glaze donuts. Inka finished 4 (yes, FOUR) glaze donuts earlier today. :P
