It’s amazing how many different levels of consumption, lifestyle and nightlife there are in Jakarta. It seems that there is something and a place for everyone. There are people with very little resources to people who have an over-abundance of everything. And there are a whole bunch of people who learn quickly how to get a piece of the action. If they don’t they are likely to be smothered. It may be a dog eat dog world at times or appear to be unfair, but generally it all seems to work out in the end. From the high flying hot-shot buying drinks for all around them, to the dude just trying to hang on and survive there is a place for everyone and everyone has a job to do or some knowledge to pass on. The women are looking for something and so are the men, let’s make no mistake about that. It’s all about the negotiation for a good time, a family, a better house, car, sex or a completely new lifestyle, and I’m sure people are getting thirstier for it as we go through these first years of this decade. It’s heady stuff out there and the nightlife is definitely a focal point for the madness, and don’t we love it. Being the last complete month before Ramadhan begins it must be time to get out there a little more often than usual. There are a number of top acts and big shows coming our way so check out the What’s On Time Line inside and make your schedule and preparations. Here’s a reminder that you can download The Beat Jakarta from Scoop and read it on your iPad or handheld device. It’s free and pretty easy to get hold of. Have a good month of June and we will see you around the traps.

here was a time not so long ago, that food court/shopping mall Pasar Festival was one of the main hangouts in Kuningan. A lot has changed since then, with Kota Kasablanka (KK) and Kuningan City (KC) on Jl. Dr Satrio/Casablanca already starting to have a “lived-in” feel. KK is the busier and larger of the two. Close to its main entrance is a new kid on the block, Balboni, a bar-resto with lots of wood and metal furniture, exposed mattblack steel ceiling beams, a stone floor and shelved ornaments, giving it a retroindustrial yet homey ambience. Balboni offers an Italian cuisine-based fusion (they call it a “hybrid”) menu.

Even Pasar Festival is now pulling in the punters once again, with live music on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. Its popularity declined over many years along with the physical state of the building, but that has now been reversed after a facelift, a rebranding (it’s now ‘Plaza’ Festival), and the arrival of 24/7 venues MacDonald’s and 7-Eleven at prominent corner positions along the main road frontage.

WSATCC were born in 2002 out of a romance between Aprilia Apsari (vocal) and Yusmario Farabi (acoustic guitar) when they were attending the Jakarta Art Institute (IKJ). Then, of course, the pair set about recruiting their school mates, Saleh Husein (electric guitar), Ricky Surya Virgana (contra bass, cello), Aprimela Prawidyanti (piano, keyboard, viola) and John Navid (drums). In 2005 their self-titled debut album was released, attracting the attention of a swagger of indie new-traditionalists thanks to their next-to-genuine vintage music and profile. The following year the group were honoured by Allmusic as one of the 25 Most Crushworthy Bands of 2006. The same year Rolling Stone awarded them for being one of the 25 Best Bands on Myspace, and Yahoo! Music hailed them as “the most blog worthy band on the planet”.

he announcement by Manchester United Football Club (Man U) manager Sir Alex Ferguson that he was intending to retire at the end of this playing season seemed to come as a surprise to many – not just soccer fans. Given the huge Man U fan base in Indonesia, this article will take a look at Sir Alex – the man rather than the manager – later on.
28
www.beatmag.com
He took Man U from a struggling team to what is now a global brand and one of the world’s most successful teams. Whilst his generally good health and phenomenal record over 26 seasons led many to believe that Sir Alex would somehow continue forever, he is 71 after all, has a pacemaker in his chest and had already announced that he was going to

be admitted to hospital for a hip operation during the summer break. Retirement is one of those fundamental rites of passage we all experience – should we be lucky enough to live that long. In countries that have a statutory retirement age it usually falls somewhere between the ages of 55 and late-60s. It is also one of the few rites over which we have a significant degree of individual control. We certainly do not choose when or where to be born, as that is our parents’ prerogative. When and where we go to school is largely determined by parental choice and whatever regulations may exist in the locality we live. The age at which we leave school and what we do next are frequently a product of parents’ financial circumstances or wishes, plus the higher education or job opportunities available. In many cultures arranged marriages are the norm, thus taking away from the couple concerned the power to determine when and whom to marry. The decision to move house is often determined by the location of one’s job. In any event, pulling up one’s roots and putting them down in an entirely new place and is perceived as such a traumatic experience that many will do whatever it takes to avoid it altogether.
Paisley lasted at that team until he was 64. Brian Clough was 58 when he retired from Nottingham Forest. Sir Alex will still retain a link with Man U as he will continue to serve as a director and ambassador for the club. Beyond that, he has many interests completely outside the soccer world. He has a large, extended family and will now be able to devote more time to his 11 grandchildren. He also is a keen wine collector and has a voracious reading appetite. He has said in the past that he always wanted to teach himself how to play the piano. More recently, Sir Alex hinted he would like to spend some time travelling the world with Cathy, his beloved wife of 47 years, a pleasure previously denied him by his ultra-demanding work commitments. Sir Alex’s last appearance at a home game on May 12 played in driving rain – the norm for Man U – was predictably emotional. Although Man U beat Swansea City 2-1, the result was almost irrelevant as key matches had already been played. “I’ll be able to now enjoy watching the team rather than suffer with them,” mused Sir Alex in his post-match farewell.
In his formal statement to the media, Sir Alex made it clear that he had pondered it carefully: “The decision to retire is one that I have thought a great deal about and one that I have not taken lightly. It is the right time,” he said.
The popular image of the football manager as a taciturn, uber-intense, short-tempered, gum-chewing obsessive man is seriously challenged by the sheer eloquence of two of the game’s most famous exponents. While Bill Shankly’s comment on football has often been misquoted, it encapsulates the essence of “the beautiful game” for its many fans perfectly: “Some people believe football is a matter of life and death; I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.”

REDSQUARE
EIGHT YEARS
Red Square started life eight years ago as more a casual lounge than the rockin’ nightclub that it is today. It was on the ground floor of the Arcadia Senayan building back then, which was smaller than now, but it didn’t take long to get the punters up on the central table, that has always been the main focus since the beginning. Being the only vodka bar in town, Red Square had a wide selection of vodkas available and was probably responsible for the ever greater interest in that liquor in this town over the past decade. It fast became a bule (foreign expat) hangout spot, mainly due to manager Paul C’s popular promotions and bule expertise. Well backed up by the rest of the PR staff, Paul knows what to

give those punters. But it’s not just bule men - there are plenty of locals, both men and women having a classic night out every time they get along to Reds too. It moved upstairs a few years ago to a bigger space and still continued in exactly the same vein. Red Square is a simple, no fuss kinda place where people are taken as they are and pretentiousness is checked-in at the door. You can leave all the wanna-bes and the hipsters to the other joints, but Red Square has its own style and grace, and is basically welcoming to all. You gotta love that. We salute Red Square for giving the good times to the local and expat community and continuing to give us a taste of everything we need till this day.

TBJ: KEMANG
K
emang is amongst the few places in Jakarta that is constantly reinventing itself, going the distance to entertain the masses. Although there are new “it” Kemang hangouts now stealing the limelight, there are establishments that have reached iconic status, establishments that have helped cement Kemang’s reputation in being a favored nightlife destination. This particular edition of TBJ Kemang is just about that; we jot down these places and pair them up with places that have gained ground in recent years. Bear in mind that when talking about these destinations, the dining experience is not top priority, rather it is more about the booze and good vibes. As all of these places we shall mention are super busy during the weekend, we thought it would be a good extra twist to the story to visit them during Kemang’s slowest night, Monday night (9pm), and see how they do. We divided our reviews into four categories:
Best for bule (expats): Eastern Promise vs. Murphy’s Best for ABG (18 to early twenties): Venue vs.Tipsy Best for 23 to 33 year olds: Triple 9 vs. SF Best for 33 to 43 year olds: Nu China vs. SHY Rooftop

Dating back to 1989, EP has been the goto place for mature expats to have a jolly good time. Here you’ll hear loud chatter and laughs, where the setting is raw and rugged to say the least. The English-style pub is divided into three sections; the bar which is always crowded, then the dining area and the open air live music area in the back. The best time to come is during EP’s “Pressure Hour” every Friday starting at 5pm, where everyone gets free beer up until the moment one guest leaves for the toilet. While we were there on Monday night the bar and pool area was quite lively, no live music in the back end band area as it was closed off.

Set up in mid-2010, Murphy’s was Killian Murphy’s (the owner) answer for a proper Irish pub in Jakarta. The Irishman even commissioned an Irish design firm specializing in designing Irish pubs all around the world to draw up the blueprints of Murphy’s. And what would an Irish pub be without good ol’ Irish beer? Running through the taps at Murphy’s are authentic Kilkenny and Guinness from Ireland. Where many hangout joints in Jakarta usually have cigarette smoke clouding the venue during peak hours, here they have a reliable air purifier system that sucks out a big portion of the excess smoke. For the most part this place attracts Irishmen (duh!) and also a portion of locals that want to experience an authentic Irish pub without having to go all the way to Dublin.

For over 13 years Venue has been the “it� place for teens to celebrate their 18th birthday, where at one point in the night they will end up getting thrown in the pool by their group of friends. Venue DJs play a variety of music, dominated by house and progressive. When we came on a Monday night there were some guests surrounding the middle bar, with lounge music playing in the background. Fridays is ladies night, where there is no cover charge for the fairer sex and they even get a free cocktail. Aside from being unpretentious and welcoming, the biggest appeal of Venue is that drinks here are relatively affordable. As Mondays are a slow night, all drinks are 50% off. Price of Bali Hai draught beer: Rp 45k Venue JL Kemang Selatan No 2 T. (021) 7805610 Serving a similar youthful crowd to Venue, four-year old Tipsy is also known for affordable drinks where the DJs spin house and progressive music. As a matter of fact, the two establishments are run under the same management, with famous singerslash-DJ Maia Estianty being one of the owners. While we went there on a Monday, it was a bit confusing whether the building was closed down or not, as there was construction work happening in the front facade of the building. As it turns out Tipsy was open but dead quiet that particular night. But during busy weekends Tipsy is considered one of the hottest Kemang party joints where they often host incoming guest DJs, offering free entry for ladies.

Arcade building, the dance floor of Triple 9 is still one of the hottest in Kemang today. The setup is posh, with a quality sound system pumping out electro and progressive dance tracks. The DJs here are some of the best, be it the residents or even guest DJs that come from big-name clubs all over town. Triple 9 loves putting out themed parties and the sexy dancers that regularly come out dancing on top of the long bar table sure do a good job in making the crowd go wild. When we were here Monday night the place was empty, so if you’re planning to come here make sure its the weekend. Price of Heineken draught beer: 50k Triple 9 Jalan Kemang Raya 20A T. (021) 7182284
SF used to be called Second Floor, and in 2010 they rebranded to become SF. Not only was the interior redone, but they no longer sit on the second floor of Unicorn Building, but rather on the first floor. They also upped the age group from teens to a minimum age of 23 years old for ladies to enter. Although it was empty when we came there on a Monday, the venue was thumping progressive beats. The sound system here is quite good and the mesmerizing lighting does make this club become a great place to let loose on the dancefloor.

In March Nu China celebrated their 8th anniversary, and by many standards this establishment sets the tone for Kemang’s underground clubbing scene. When we came on a Monday night the place was quiet until well after midnight when it begins to pack them in. Nu China has the rep for being the only place with a late crowd early week. The biggest nights here are Friday and Wednesday with music varying from R&B to progressive dance depending on the EOs. This is amongst the few places in Kemang that operates till really late hours and the vibe does resemble something akin to clubs up in Kota. Nu China also has a reputation in making great cocktails, one must try is the Nu China Flame. Price of Bali Hai draught beer: 55k Nu China Jalan Kemang Raya 24 T. (021) 7193854
Shy Rooftop sits on the top level of the beautiful Papilion glass building in Kemang, and is known as the poshest hangout lounge in Kemang. Shy Rooftop is technically not a new place but it did close down for a while and reopened late last year. It’s in a league of its own as they serve the upper market and the guests here really dress up. They’ll drink exquisite cocktails or smash bottles while being entertained by an acoustic band and then DJs. The hip and mature venue is predominant creme color with a unique tent roof.

It’s lucky record stores aren’t around any more, as trying to shove Alt-J’s Mercury-winning debut An Awesome Wave onto the right shelf would have even the most meticulous of spotty teenage shop assistants scratching their heads. Is it pop? Rock? Electro? Gregorian chant? Folk? Trip-hop? Grime? Indie? Celtic? Try all of the above and then some, but that still doesn’t quite nail it. Fitting really for a band that officially spells its name ‘∆’ (clue: press the alt and j keys on your computer). Some might stick with dubstep, that oh-so de rigueur genre that seems to be infiltrating everything these days, but that only works for about 20% of the album so that’s not right, and it’s too indie to be rock but too poppy to be indie. Folk-step maybe? Whatever you want to call it, I’d say it’s pretty safe to assume John Peel would approve of the Leeds quartet, who met in a Cambridge basement in 2007 and went on to accidentally create this anti-genre masterpiece. Beautifully paced, the album swings gracefully from all out swagger (“Intro”, “Fitzpleasure”) to introspective smoky guitars (“Interlude I & II”), and “Bloodflood” nicely pushes a few nostalgic buttons – listen for the primary school assembly doing the morning greeting in the opening few bars, something I haven’t heard since I was six; not exactly something you expect to find on a Mercury winning LP. The euphoric fanfare of “Dissolve Me” is something that Wayne Coyne would chop his flaming lips off for, and the stunning “Something Good” combines campfire guitars with a metronome beat that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Sigur Rós album. The funny thing is that amongst the maelstrom, it never feels disorientating or bewildering. Every hook, every beat, every component is used thoughtfully and economically, meaning that each change up is as exciting, addictive and satisfying as the next - Joe Newman’s nasally vocals perfectly tying up everything like the twine on a mystery parcel. As far as genre bending first efforts go, An Awesome Wave is just that; awesome. Dan Ashcroft

We got some summer blockbusters in this edition’s Movie Preview. Star Trek is back with a vengeance, Dwayne Johnson (formerly The Rock) is in two movies, the new Fast and Furious which is pretty much action car porn and in Snitch where he goes toe to toe against a drug cartel. Check these flicks out at your local DVD store or www.21cineplex.com!
Star Trek Into Darkness Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi. Director: J. J. Abrams. Writer: Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, Damon Lindelof, Gene Roddenberry (TV series). Cast: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch, Karl Urban, John Cho, Zoe Saldana, Alice Eve, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg, Bruce Greenwood.
Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise are at it again and fanboys of this series reboot have much to look forward to. J. J. Abrams is back at the helm along with the entire cast of the last film and by the looks of the previews, so is the lens flare. Benedict Cumberbatch will play a villain that comes within the ranks of Starfleet and threatens Earth leaving the crew of the Enterprise battling on earth and warping to distant planets to try to stop him. This sequel seems like a rollercoaster ride through the cosmos and touches off on the very contemporary issue of terrorism.
Fast & Furious 6 Action, Crime, Thriller. Director: Justin Lin. Writer: Chris Morgan (screenplay), Gary Scott Thompson (characters). Cast: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, Sung Kang, Ludacris, Luke Evans, Gina Carano.
DSS agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) is now forced to make a deal with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and the rest of his crew of renegade car enthusiasts. Hobbs offers them all full pardons if they help him bring down Owen Shaw (Luke Evans), a leader of a notorious international heist gang. Dom agrees to get behind the wheel once more, but revelations involving Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez) make things tricky. If you’re into cars and have followed this series, well, this just might be what you’re looking for. If you aren’t any of those things, well, I’d skip this one. On the other hand, The Rock and Vin Diesel teaming up might just float your boat...
Snitch Crime, Drama, Thriller. Director: Ric Roman Waugh. Writer: Justin Haythe, Ric Roman Waugh. Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Barry Pepper, Susan Sarandon, Benjamin Bratt, Jon Bernthal, Michael Kenneth Williams.
A desperate father, John Matthews (Dwayne Johnson) volunteers to help the Drug Enforcement Administration to investigate a drug cartel in order to get his son out of jail. He calls on his former employee and ex-con Daniel (Jon Bernthal) to get him closer the drug ring. Dwayne Johnson plays your everyman turn hero in this movie which is sort of a departure from his former roles. With an ensemble cast, hopefully this film will be a little more entertaining than almost every other Hollywood film where your law abiding citizen tackles drug cartels.

Audi Fashion Nation turned out to be quite a spectacle in more ways than one! While it does a great job of showcasing the offerings of brands housed in Senayan City have to offer, Fashion Nation also aggressively asserts itself as a vehicle of exposure for Indonesian labels. The Audi Runway Hits show was especially
enjoyable, with designers traditionally using the event as a springboard to show off their newest ready-to-wear collections. Aptly titled Pret-A-Porter, the Runway Hits show that took place on April 19 featured collections by four fantastic Indonesian designers. Read on to find out who strutted their stuff!
Designer Ari Saputra launched this line after a partnership with his wife Sari and Esmod Jakarta graduates Inneke Margharethe and Ambar Pratiwi. You would think a collaboration between four individuals with different artistic visions would result in chaos and schizophrenia, but Major Minor has been making waves since the arrival of their modern and minimalist separates and dresses on the scene in 2011. The young label is keen to take on the world with their philosophy of major quality, quantity, and design at minor prices, and with their new collection of asymmetrical lines and muted tones, maybe they just will.
The only designer of the night who presented a menswear label, Rama Dauhan clearly has no qualms about mixing prints and shapes! Everything of his that came down the catwalk was reflective of his high street background and looked like it belonged in an M.I.A. video, which was really refreshing to see. I liked the affront to solids and one-up challenge colour blocking, but what I really want to know is this: do the patterned sweater and quilted pink jacket from the men’s collection come in my size?

I was initially startled – and scared, almost – of viewing this collection because the set opened with the immediately recognisable strings of the Psycho Suite! But as the outfits and seconds ticked by, I stopped associating the music with the famous Janet Leigh shower scene, and the clothes started to come together with the shrill strings. I had the opportunity to ask Yosafat himself what inspired him to use such an unconventional soundtrack, and he told me that he wanted a theme that was not obvious, so he decided to centre his collection around the study of psychology. The prints on some of the dresses and tops represented Roschach inkblots used to determine what made a person tick by letting them see what they wanted to see. I had a great experience with this set, because not only did I enjoy his tweed-rich collection (the tweed was woven in Pekalongan), but I have also started listening to the Psycho Suite as a means of relaxing. Totally mind-blowing!
The ultra-feminine collection of dresses by Frencheducated Yogie Pratama differed from the others in that he kept to a single colour. This collection is another attempt at recreating the glamour of 1950s North America while adding accents such as transparency, pleats, and draping A-lines, mermaids, and pens. I think the best example of this ideology lies in my favourite piece of the collection: a floor-length sheath gown with a double-breasted blazer top. The outfit reminded me of jumpsuits by Celine, in which they are both teasingly sturdy and demure to the point of being cheeky.

During the press conference, Fashion Xchange representative Herlina Wijaya explained how the concept store hopes to facilitate connections and a tradition of exchanging ideas, products, and information between emerging Indonesian designers and labels from other parts of Asia. It currently stocks clothes and footwear for men and women from Singaporean brands such as Triologie, storied menswear line Flesh Imp, and shoe company Mitju while hoping to bring in Korean and Japanese brands in the near future. Also present was Elim Chew of Singaporean street label 77th Street, who is good friends with Ms. Wijaya and expressed excitement for the future of this crosscountry collaboration.

Goods on sale vary in prices to accommodate a wide range of buying power, with most clothes ranging in the 200k – 800k and going all the way up to 4,000k. The press conference was followed by a fashion show which saw collections exclusive to Fashion Xchange strut down the runway. To qualify a collection for addition within the racks of the store, designers were careful to stick to a palate that consisted of blacks, blues, and browns–deviation from this colour palette was kept to a minimal, but it was magical when it did happen.
Things really got rolling as soon as the party started. It seemed as if all of Jakarta’s fashionable glitterati had came out of the woodwork to commune on the dance floor!

South American Wood Fire Grill & Brew
T
he area of Kemang has always been known as the expatriates’ enclave of the capital. There are plenty of international restaurants here introducing new, foreign flavors to Jakartans. And when the new South American eatery opened just this past March, we jumped for joy! El Asador is not your typical barbecue place. What makes it special is la parilla or the open-fire grill which is the center piece of the restaurant.There’s nothing like the wonderful smell of grilled steaks to invite you in. Gregarious Uruguayan owner and manager Eugenio Doldan welcomed us on our visit. He was busy doing the rounds, greeting each customer, explaining the menu, and even helped the asador (griller) occasionally. El Asador Kemang Point Building, Ground Floor, Jl. Kemang Raya No. 3, Jakarta 12730 Ph.: (021) 718 2206 www.elasador.co.id

Now, the barbecued meats are the specialties here, but there are other dishes that are worth mentioning. We began with some starters; a hearty soup called Sopa Mama Grillo’s (43k) blended vegetables together into one bowl of creamy goodness, and served with a thick puff pastry hat. Mama Grillo is none other than Eugenio’s mother, and this recipe was handed down to him since his childhood days.You can always rely on mom’s cooking to warm your heart.
FOOD Fancy some tongue action? You're in luck, try the Lengua a la Vinagreta Con Ensalada Rusa (65k); boiled sliced beef tongue marinated with parsley, garlic, spices, olive oil, white vinegar, and egg. It is really tasty! The dish is served cold with a Russian salad on the side; another typical Uruguayan dish. For more familiar fares, you can go for the Mama Grillo’s Quesadilla (61k) or Breakfast Burrito Carne (72k); the former has wonderfully marinated chicken, while the latter has sautéed minced beef, spices, scrambled egg, cheese, and the works. The Chivito al Pan (94k) is a very typical Uruguayan sandwich filled with churrasco tenderloin steak, lettuce, tomato, ham, bacon, mozzarella cheese, fried egg, olives, and homemade mayonnaise. A must try! The Bifes Con Cebolla (109k) is another noteworthy dish; grilled marinated steak served with glazed caramelized onion. By the way, the portions here are quite generous, so it’s really nice to share and sample these dishes to get the full experience.
little application of salt is needed to bring out the flavors, and the parilla or grill will do the rest. The Churrasco or rib eye (143k) and the Asado or beef ribs (209k) are favorites here, but the Chorizo or beef sausage (83k) or the Lamb Chorizo or lamb sausage (83k) are also delicious choices. For chicken lovers, go for the Pamplonas (83k) or boneless chicken leg, filled with mozzarella, capsicum, olives, and spices. And if you’re feeling more adventurous, the Chinculines or beef tripe (33k) and Renoe or beef or lamb kidney (55k) might be for you. But true carnivores will appreciate the all-youcan-eat deal here! At 300k/pax for meat only, or 330k/pax for meat and side dishes, it’s pure meat lovers’ paradise! All the grill orders here go perfectly with the distinctive South American sauces of Chimicurri and Salsa Criolla. The mocktails and lemonades are indeed very refreshing beverages to go with these savory dishes, but you should try the selection of South American wines on offer here. Perfect combination!
Speaking of the steaks, there are plenty of cuts El Asador is definitely one new place worth to choose from. The prime quality imported visiting! (Budi Iskandar) meats do not need a lot of marinating. Just a

The Not So Ordinary Thai Restaurant is spicing up the dining scene, in a regal way.
J
ittlada Group has been a loyal advocate of great Thai cuisine in Indonesia for a number of years. Its White Elephant and Jittlada outlets are already on top of foodies’ minds when it comes to tasty Thai fares in Jakarta. Recently we visited Chandara, Jittlada Group’s fine-dining restaurant. Opened in December 2010, Chandara is located among Plaza Senayan’s more premium food establishments, close to the movie theaters

upstairs. The place has a gorgeous interior; dark wooden floor and furniture, chandeliers, beautiful Thai sculptures, all give a certain majestic vibe. You know that you’re dining somewhere special when you come here. And the food… Ah, the wonderful food… They are meticulously prepared by a Thai head chef, affectionately known as ‘Mama’. She and her staff really know how to make and present tasty traditional Thai fare and take it up a notch. Sure, you can start with the usual Tom Yam Goong (hot and sour soup) or Som Tam (spicy papaya salad), but we opted for the spicy mixed fruit salad called Som Tum Pollamai (50k). This is a great mix of sweet, sour, and spicy, with a little bit of saltiness, too! Another great dish here is the Nam Prik Long Rua (65k); a unique shrimp paste with crispy catfish and vegetables. This dish can easily be an appetizer or a main, but what’s important is that it tastes magnificent either way. You

mix the shrimp paste with the crispy catfish and you have one of the best-tasting burst of flavors you’ve ever had in your life! This blend acts as a very nice dip for the accompanying raw vegetables on the side. A must have. Next up was the Plamek Neung Manaow (105k) or steamed squid stuffed with minced prawns with fresh lime juice, chili, and coriander sauce. Yet another great dish at Chandara; the superb sauce complimented the seafood really well. And if you’re a fan of curries, then the Gang Pet Phed Yang (85k) is definitely the one to get. It’s a delicious roast duck red curry with coconut cream, sweet basil leaves and fresh fruits of the season (which can be lychee, grape, or pineapple). This is one more beautiful and balanced blend of salty, sweet, spicy, and tangy in a dish. For dessert, you can’t go wrong with the Fak Thong Sangkaya (40k); a typical Thai custard made with pumpkin. And you can wash it all down with the Thai Iced Tea With Milk (25k) or Thai Iced Green Tea With Milk (29k). Chandara bar also serves refreshing mocktails such as the Lychee Lemon Soda (55k); muddled fresh mint leaves, freshly squeezed lemon juice, lychee puree with a splash of soda, or the orange, grapefruit, and pineapple mix called Innocent Voyage (30k).
As for cocktails, try the Chandara Ice Tea (85k); a potent mix of gin, rum, vodka, triple sec, and lime juice, or the Green Mai Thai (85k) vodka, blue curacao, and fresh fruits. Chandara’s Thai Afternoon Tea (80k/set for two) is also getting more and more popular, especially with arisan-type groups where you can get a basket of traditional Thai cakes and a choice of tea or coffee. It’s available on weekdays from 3 – 6 pm. For a tasty Thai culinary trip with a nice imperial touch, make your way to Chandara! (Budi Iskandar).
