Enjoying Indonesian Foods and Tea Time in a Classic Library

[Velvel]

Majapahit Loungeis a restaurant and lounge inside The Dharmawangsa Jakarta that has both of the indoor and outdoor area. They provide dining and tea time selections as well. One of the beautiful spot in Majapahit Lounge is The Library. It has a tall and wide bookcase with the real books that we could read there, a long mirror, lamps, a sofa and and a table for dining in. When we sat there, it felt like we were in the spotlight

At first, we planned to have an afternoon tea here. But since my friend and I were only a group of two, and the afternoon tea package serves a lot of cakes for sharing, so we decided to have a lunch here.

This place is so serene and comfortable with a friendly service. Majapahit Lounge serves variant of Western and Indonesian menu, but since their signature menu consists of Indonesian foods, that’s why we tried their Indonesian foods.

Here are what we tried :

Mie Godong Jawa
I have never thought that this fine dining restaurant might serve this noodle in a big portion! It can be shared among 2 - 3 persons. So, with the high fine dining price, I think it is still worthy because we could share the foods among several people.
A bowl of white noodles that is served with abundant toppings, such as stew egg, duck egg, shredded chicken, cabbage, tomato, green onions, and fried shallot. Enjoy this dish while it still still hot or warm!

Nasi Liwet
The portion is not as big as mie godog Jawa.
Rice cooked in coconut milk that is served with chicken, egg, marinated bean curd, chicken’s liver, beef skin crackers, chili, along with chayote in a thick gravy.

Although we did not have the real afternoon tea as planned, but glad that we could enjoy their tea selections. Before we decided what tea to order, the staff brought us the variant of tea leaves, explain to us, and let us to smell them.

We decided to try two tea that each is served hot in a transparent tea pot. There are :
Brawijaya Royal Wilis
Floral tea as the blend of green tea, lemongrass, jasmine, rose petal, white peach, calendula, and gold dust.

Toffee Caramel
This one has more sweet smell and taste. I like this one!
Indonesian organic black tea that is blended with sunda coffee beans, marigold vanilla, and caramel infusion.

The restaurant looks fabulous @Velvel and the portions are large indeed.

I can sense the noodles seem yummy too

Coincidentally, today I wrote about a hotel in Tokyo that serves free food and Japanese comic books.

Hope you enjoy it:
