Had a nice Christmas dinner last night. Well, since I won’t be staying out this year like previously, I decided on switching the budget to dinner instead.
By chance, after the film camera user group offline meeting, I saw that Cafe Batavia in the Jakarta old town is having a special promotion for Christmas eve.
225k (+21% tax and service). For the menu, still reasonable for me. Made a reservation.
This is the second oldest building in the square and renovated into a restaurant. Of course the price level is quite high for most locals visiting the place (mostly photographers) so I more often saw tourists going there.
On this eve, there’s also not that much guests. But there are several tables holding family dinner. Well, as an old establishment, the place is really proud of the heritage and old city feel. Not to mention from the second floor windows facing out to the city square, you can watch the night market activity and sometimes, somebody would launch (consumer grade) fireworks to the sky.
