Member spotlight Adéle Tolken Beuthe Member since 2017 Tell us a little bit about yourself: I’m a South African artist and designer. I have two beautiful daughters. My husband and I have been expats since 2006. This is our second posting in Jakarta. We lived here for 2.5
years from 2008 - 2010. How long have you been in Jakarta this time? Since June 2017 How did you learn about ANZA? Through a friend who invited me to join bootcamp. What has been your favourite ANZA event(s) or activities? The ANZA Ball and Melbourne Cup. Not only to attend but also to help with set-up. Use 3 words to describe living in Jakarta. TII (This is Indonesia) - a bit of a mantra to get you through the ups and downs. What’s your favourite area in Jakarta and why? When I do get out of my “Kemang” bubble I like to go to the Golden Triangle - Senopati, Senayan and SCBD. It's fun to wander around the shops at Grand Indonesia then enjoy the spectacular city view from Skye Bar. Where was the last great meal you had in Jakarta? Fujin on Jl. Gunawarman. I recommend trying the gyoza and whiskey highballs. Where would we find you on a typical Sunday morning? In my home studio working on my next artwork. Or outside enjoying a cup of coffee after a workout at F45 Kemang
Any advice to a new arrival to Jakarta? Make sure to try the five national foods: Nasi Goreng, Gado-Gado, Soto, Sate and Rendang. Can you recommend a must-see/must-do in Jakarta? We like to take visitors to Kota Tua (Old Town) and to have lunch at Cafe Batavia Can you recommend a great weekend trip? I wish we did more weekend getaways because the few we have done have been fantastic. I loved spending a long weekend at Roemah Pulo Manuk (IG @ Roemahpulomanuk), a beach house on Pantai Pulo Manuk, approx 4 hours drive from Jakarta. Pulau Sepa is also a fun one-night getaway or camping around Sentul. Check out Adéle’s art on Facebook and Instagram @Twig_studio
