Among the growing number of Chinese restaurants in Jakarta, Lai Ching at the Four Seasons Jakarta stands out for its presentation of Chinese cuisine and culture in a refreshingly different atmosphere. You don’t have to be a gourmand to recognize a great food bargain. Dining at Lai Ching (which means beautiful jade) on sumptuous Cantonese dishes, in a cozy oriental setting, is hard to beat. The décor is elegant with the mahogany wood floors, bringing a natural, warm, and comfortable feeling for customers. The restaurant ensures its guests will never forget the excellent taste of Lai Ching dishes, especially with its Dim Sum Extravaganza which offers unlimited dim sum and dishes such as Roasted Crispy Duck. Among menu highlights are Stir-fried Beef Cubes with Black Pepper and Braised Whole Abalone in Oyster Sauce, Sautéed Sweet and Sour Prawns with Pineapple, followed by the pleasant surprise of Bamboo Piths with Prawns Soup, a scrumptious treat. Scallop lovers should head straight to the Wok-fried Scallops with Broccoli and Chinesen”Ke Chee’, with the added bonus of improved eyesight and stamina. These dishes are complimented by Lai Ching Ice Cream served in glutinous sauce. Above all the tastes are precisely as Chinese food should be!. Lai Ching is also a perfect venue for afternoon tea.

Kembang Goela Restaurant

Evidenced by the lunch and dinner crowds at Kembang Goela Restorant was ready for another Indonesian Restaurant. The menu was quite impressive and the service is very good, despite the crowded tables. The restaurant was always filled with diners enjoying their somewhat fires at traditional dishes, such as Huzarensalade-carrot, beet, pineapple, apple, green peas dressed with homemade Dutch sauce; Asem-asem Iga-Boiled New Zealand Ribs in Tamarind Sauce, or the Yuyu Djeroek Bali-Fried Soft Shell Crab Fresh served with Balinese Orange Salad to start the meal. Don’t miss a-must-try delicious and generously portioned Nasi Langgi Lima Serangkai. Also tasty was a deceptively innocent looking Oedang Kapiten Jongker-Fried King Prawn served with special black pepper, shallot & garlic sauce which is spicy enough. This quality did not obscure the rich, complex flavors of the dish. Another scrumptious taste treat was the Bebek Boemboe Lengkoas. A find way to end a meal at Kembang Goela is with Poffertjes Van Orange and Baked Banana, all of which were wonderful. Every dish I’ve ever tried at Kembang Goela was exceptional; I’ve been back numerous times, as it’s almost addictive. Kembang Goela is a great venue to dine with friends, but make sure you make reservations.

Enjoyed visiting the Imperial Treasure International Restaurant, renamed from the original Crystal Jade Restaurant about three years ago. Though the same management and the staff are the same, a big change is evident in the comfortable dining room, which was greatly expanded beyond the previous space. The friendly fine dining restaurant attracts a lively crowd who enjoys eating good food. Be sure to try three fantastic appetizers offered at Imperial Treasure, the Deep-Fried Seafood Sauce Roll with salad sauce, Deep Fried Shrimp Dumplings served with mayonnaise and the Baked BBQ Chicken Meat Bun.
A popular dish for frequent patrons is the Crispy Aromatic Duck, the skin of which is almost dark brown but the meat is tender and tasty on the inside. A meal by Chef So Yeung Tat Kee is quite a pleasant experience, where each and every dish is an artistic composition with a gentle blend of colors, texture, and form. Dessert at Imperial Treasure consists of many offerings. My favorite and a simple, yet delicious, choice is the Almond Tofu topped with strawberry or Longan. Lunch or dinner at the Imperial Treasure is highly recommended, as it is very well worth of the journey.
