JAKARTA EATS: Nanny’s Pavillon Bathroom

April 4, 2012

I’ve been meaning to meet up with Asian Fashion Lawyer for the longest time. And I’ve been meaning to check out this super cute resto at Pacific Place. So when it was finally time to meet up and Asian Fashion Lawyer asked me where I wanted to eat in Pacific Place.. Nanny’s Pavillon Bathroom immediately popped up in my head. *Full disclosure: I didn’t really care about the food. I just wanted the weird experience of eating in a place that looks like a bathroom! LOL!

Yup, you got it Asian retailers and designers, she specializes in fashion law in our continent!

I wish I had taken better pictures but the super harsh sun didn’t cooperate. I think it’s better to eat here in the evening or late afternoon because it can be a bit warm with the gigantic floor to ceiling windows and super high ceiling – the AC just couldn’t cope with the sun.

Toilet bowls as seats! Whoa!

This is a RESTO RAVE ❤  mainly because the super fun concept of the restaurant and how it was translated into everything from the interiors to the  the table setting, menu, staff and entertainment. I can’t really say that the food is great because I only tried the baked stuffed mushroom. Which was okay but not mind-blowing. Super yummy strawberry iced tea though! (Indonesians really know how to make great iced tea – after all Teh Botol is to Indonesians what Coke is to Pinoys. They love their teas!) I forgot to ask  Asian Fashion Lawyer how her pancakes were. Perhaps the western cuisine has also been tailored to local taste? Because it seems very popular with the locals. The prices are reasonable. Can anyone tell me more about the food in Nanny’s Pavilion?

We were also surprised with their singing waiters and waitresses in their cute uniforms! LOL!

Thanks for inviting me Asian Fashion Lawyer! Sorry for the delayed post! Many more meet-ups to come. Your area next time! =)

I would love love love to check out the other Nanny’s Pavillon concepts: Garden, Library, Terrace and barn!

      just think about it as 10,000 = 1 USD. Very rough conversion but pwede na. So if something is 25,000, it’s about 2.50 USD. =) Hope this helps! Thanks for dropping by and commendting Mom-Friday! =)

    Hi,

    If you live in south jakarta, there’s another nanny’s pavilion in gandaria city mall, the theme is sewing room. For me the pancakes are nice, not really the best but it’s nice and cheaper than Pancious, similar resto serve pancake n pasta too.

    For some items i prefer pancious as tastes better but definitely choose nanny’s for the price.

    Wow, this sounds interesting. I was in Jakarta a few months ago and my colleague took me sightseeing. Had I known about this, I would have asked her to bring me here. 🙂

        We visited the Wayang Museum and the Jakarta History Museum and roamed around Old Jakarta a bit, since her family is from that area. She also brought me to a market, but I don’t remember if she told me the name of the place. She also brought me to a few malls, but the only one whose name I remember is Grand Indonesia. 🙂

SANTA CLAUS MAIN POST OFFICE So one really meanin SANTA CLAUS MAIN POST OFFICE

So one really meaningful part of our trip was @santaclausmainpostoffice which is right outside of @santaclausoffice.

🎄 @diplobaby wrote a postcard for Santa

🎄 He also wrote some postcards to his friends

🎄 I wrote a postcard to @diplobaby to remember our many firsts in this trip.

For the last 2 we were lucky that our hotel @glass_resort  had many FREE POSTCARDS  and STAMPS and we didn’t have to go to the post office. They conveniently sent it for us.

His close friends were happy to receive them and I also loved getting our own post. So cool!

Please don’t forget to LIKE this post to see more family adventures & travel tips!

If Finland is on your bucket list then definitely SAVE THIS!

SEEING SANTA Everyday is Christmas Day in @santac SEEING SANTA

Everyday is Christmas Day in @santaclausvillage_rovaniemi! 

While we were walking back to our hotel @glass_resort guess who passed by and was sweet enough to roll down his window to say high.

Roll down for the quick conversation. I’m glad I caught it on camera.

TD was pretty impressed that his car is also red. 😂

Mind you his facial hair looked totally real!

NIGHT OF THE MUSEUMS 2: For the 2nd Museum we cho NIGHT OF THE MUSEUMS 2:

For the 2nd Museum we chose
SAINT PETER’S CATHEDRAL ARCHEOLOGICAL SITE

🤍 Impressive cathedral even from the outside. If you are interested in the Church’s history, or even just history, this place is a must!

🤍 Off to the right is the stairs to go to another time, to see the ruins underneath the current cathedral. 

🤍 You get to see what was built here before the cathedral even up to the years before Christ.

🤍 I was really impressed with the mosaic tile flooring

🤍 You can see how Christianity evolved in Geneva over millenia 

🤍 There were a lot of deep wells. I wonder how they dug them out during simpler times? Some people even dropped credit cards. Be careful because once something falls out of your wallet, it’s gone. 

🤍 If you have fear of heights there are parts on the floor where there is a bigger distance from the ruin to the flooring. I got a bit scared in those parts.

🤍 We explained what we learned to @diplobaby and he was very fascinated with it. From the coins of the old days, the combs, how baptisms were done and how old these things were… he soaked it all up.

🤍 It’s so important not to underestimate our kids. If we share what we read and explain things to them even a museum like this is interesting. 

🤍 When we got out at 11, we walked back to the shuttle to get back to TD’s office. We saw some things like canons that made us realize how little we have explored of @ville_de_geneve! Must come back for more!

🤍 shuttle was like a private bus coz there were only 2 other people with us!

Night at the Museums is a great way to explore the city on a budget!
#UDWinGeneva #diplobaby #diplofamily #undiplomaticwife
NIGHT OF THE MUSEUMS 1: Last 13 May we went with NIGHT OF THE MUSEUMS 1:

Last 13 May we went with some colleagues & their families to check out Night in the Museums for the first time!

A FEW TIPS:

🤍 Doing the “Nuit des musées” is another way to see more museums in Geneva on a budget.

🤍 To avoid long lines, you can buy tickets online for chf10/adult. Kids are FREE.

🤍 BUT you might not get the pink lanyard/ID if the museums run out. No worries, nobody checked us.

🤍 Included in your ticket are FREE shuttle buses to take you from different points to another. So no need to buy regular train/tram tickets.

🤍 There are less people in the shuttles too, so this is good if you don’t like crowds. 

🤍 It starts at 5pm & ends at 12mn. But some museums close earlier

🤍 This year we started at 7pm and only got 2 museums done. If you get 2 in one night, it’s already worth it. 

🤍 Next year we will definitely start at 5 to see more museums.

🤍 And it’s better to schedule & book where you will have dinner, otherwise everything is totally full. 

🤍 For our group of about 20 (coz we were with 2 other families) we were able to get tables at McDonalds. 

🤍 If it’s rainy, use a lightweight hooded down jacket that can easily be folded like our favorite @uniqlo UltraLightDown Jacket. The cool thing about it is if you have not time to go to a coat check, you can roll it into it’s own bag.

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM @museum.geneve 

✨ We prioritized this because we knew the kids would love learning about the animals, the environment and even the crystals.

✨ It’s interesting because it’s also interactive. 

✨ It’s small but packs a punch and has several floors so the kids didn’t even want to leave. 

So happy we are exploring @ville_de_geneve more!

TRUFFLE TIPS When buying truffle products, it’s TRUFFLE TIPS

When buying truffle products, it’s important to know what you are buying. I’m not an expert but I’d like to share with you what I’ve learned over the years. 

Did you know that many TRUFFLE OILS only contain faux truffle flavoring?

⚡️Try to buy oils that contain small truffle bits to know that it’s a genuine truffle infusion. 

⚡️If the oil is clear (or even if it’s not), it’s important to read the ingredients list & make sure that it lists truffle/truffle infusion as an ingredient. 

⚡️Truffle flavor(ing) is not real truffle.

⚡️Black truffle is more common & cheaper than white truffle.

⚡️TRUFFLE SALT is cheaper but less flavorful than truffle oil. It’s great to layer on top of truffle oil when making truffle popcorn, eggs or pasta. But used alone the flavor isn’t as strong as time goes by. It’s good bang for buck though!

⚡️TRUFFLE POWDER is nice to have to give that truffle color, but not a must. It’s also more expensive coz it’s pure dried truffle.

Swipe to see how much we get them for at @tkmaxxat. We always go to @tkmaxxde when we go to Germany to get fancy things to fit within our limited budget.

As for the @turci_firenze traditionally infused truffle oil, we get them at an affordable price in @elcorteingles when we are in Madrid.

We don’t have it all the time, but when we want to treat ourselves at home we make our favorites:

1. Truffle popcorn for movie nights
2. Truffle scrambled eggs for weekends
3. Truffle cream pasta for special meals
