Jakarta, Indonesia

We flu to Jakarta to attend the company event, K-Link Indonesia 7th Anniversary Celebration. We stayed in Ancol theme park where Mercure Hotel is located. Everyone has a seaview room. Unfortunately, i have no time to really enjoy the facilities here.

After a quick lunch at the coffee house, we are getting ready to attend the event in Istora Senayan Jakarta.

By the time we arrived in the stadium, more than 10,000 people gathered either inside or outside the venue. Before that, we took a photo outside the stadium.

The Indonesian Queen of pop, Krisdayanti entertained the crowd. Krisdayanti is the first Asia Bagus Grand Champion from Indonesia. The guests are so crazy with her appearance. As the matter of fact, she sang very well.

Another event highlight was the Grand Lucky Draw whereby two units of the Grand Livina will be given away.

Theme Dinner : The Futuristic Party

The Futuristic party was held in Mercure Hotel as well. Some of the guests are well-dressed according to the event theme.

During the three day trip in Jakarta, i managed to go shopping in WTC Mangga Dua Jakarta. Mangga Dua area covers a wide area with the most crowded traffic of cars and people. You will surprise that they have so much to offer, from shoes, cloth, AA grade of branded handbags and many more.

"Train & Place" Jobs Placement Program

JobsMalaysia is an automated online job matching service provided by the Ministry of Human Resources. JobsMalaysia matches job seekers seeking suitable jobs with employers. All the services provided by JobsMalaysia are free and made publicly available through the facilities of the Ministry of Human Resources.

The main objective of the system is to improve the mobilization of the nation's human resources and to ensure that manpower utilization is optimized through the systematic matching of job seekers to job vacancies.

This event was held in KL Library and officiated by Y.B Dr S. Subramaniam, Minister of Human Resources. Standing next to YB is Y Bhg Dato' Ismail b. Hj Abdul Rahim, Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Semenanjung Malaysia.

I was there at 7.20 am to set up an exhibtion booth for the company's distributors who want to do a recruitment drive. I can observe from the crowd that most of the jobless or job seekers are fresh grads. I am thankful coz i have a challenging job. There are a few big notice boards where the job seekers can view the vacancy available from various employers.

Look at Air Asia booth, there is a long Q since early morning. Guess what? They lined up not for air steward or stewardress position but RAMP AGENT. What is ramp agent? Basically, ramp agent has similar job function with Airport baggage handlers whom responsible for marshalling aircraft in the gate, loading, unloading and sorting freight and baggage. Ramp Service Agents are also responsible for servicing aircraft lavatories and potable water, pushback plane from the gate, deicing and other duties as delegated.

My Birthday at Tenji Japanese Restaurant, Mont Kiara

My birthday again, a precious day coz it comes only once a year. My friend suggested to celebrate it in Tenji Japanese Restaurant where most of the people are giving thumbs up about the food and environment there.

They have lunch promotion at RM49.9++. The restaurant offers more than the usual common sushi, sashimi or teppanyaki. Gourmands will likely need to make several visits to savour all of the 250 plus unique items on the menu featuring a gastronomic spread of Japanese, Chinese as well as Asian fusion and Western delicacies.

Tenji Japanese Buffet Restaurant replicates a traditional Japanese home with clean, sleek and uncluttered interior.

Those photos that i posted here are just small part of it. Actually, they have more food to offer but due to my stomach space constraint, i can only taste something special at my preferences.

Pic above : Thai coconut. Must try, as it has a strong pandan aroma.

My favourite fresh oysters. However, they should slice the lemon in bigger portion, so it easier for diner to squeeze it onto the oyster. Fresh oyster with tobasco sauce and fresh lime...thumbs up!

Happy Birthday! Birthday girl pampers herself with a wide variety of delicious food. After that, a lot of exercises have to be carried out to lose weight!! Anyway, this is LIFE - work hard, play hard.

There are counters where the chef can cook for us at our choice. What we need to do is just place a table number at the certain raw food we like, within 5 minutes the food will be served on our table.

For example, my friend choose the crab and cod fish. They are simply fresh and tasty!

pic above: sliced Abalone, taste good!

Look at the dessert counter, i have to reserve about 10% of my stomach for it. At the end, i can only able to eat the 3 scoops of Haagen dazs ice cream, green tea swiss roll, mango cheese cake, tiramisu and mango cheese cake.

There are many other dishes that i haven't have a chance to touch yet. Hopefully, i can go back to try one day, very soon!

Food Gossip 10- Tomoe Japanese & Dorsett Regency

1. Tomoe Japanese Restaurant:

On the very same row, you can also find a Rakuzen and Hyotan. But thanks to their impressive corner lot, Tomoe manages to stand out from their competitors. Besides, the free valet they provide is strong incentive, allowing diners to drive up and walk straight in.

Soft Shell Crab Salad (RM28.00).

Sake harasu (RM28.00), the richer belly cut of salmon.

Kuromatsu Shioyaki (RM35.00), fresh from Japan.

Uchiwa Ebi (RM40.00), goes by the Latin name of “Ibacus ciliatus”. In Japanese means “Fan Prawn”. Its very popular as sashimi or pickled!
Tomoe is not for those on a budget, but neither is it extortionate in comparison to the other Japanese restaurants around. In an already saturated market, it is their unique dishes and classy yet comfortable ambience that will draw you back.
