Valentine 2013 // Wet n Wild Giveaway Winners

Behold, the belated post of my Valentine's day dinner date at Scusa, a comfy, modern-stylish Italian restaurant located just inside Intercontinental Hotel, Jakarta. :)

\\ THE MENU \\
The menu was placed under this round glass, made a nice decor and also cleverly served as a placemat.

\\ THE FOOD \\
↑ Sweet Water Prawn Cocktail with preserved lemon ↑
 Lobster Bisque clams, langoustine and spinach tortellini ↑
 Sole Fillet zucchini and herb flan, tomato-basil chutney and saffron reduction ↑
 Wagyu Beef Tenderloin Parmesan potato cake and truffled veal jus ↑
 Chocolate Cake fresh cream, marinated strawberries and vanilla-almond ice cream ↑

\\ THE PLACE \\
The whole dinner experience was nice, the food was pretty in presentation but average in taste. The appetizers - Prawn Cocktail, Lobster Bisque and Sole Fillet were great, but we expected more for the main entry and dessert, which I thought weren't very good.

The ambience was casually romantic, the whole place was dimly lit, each table was presented with a pretty red rose for the lady and decorated with rose petals and a candle. A Jazz duo performing live on stage and romantic music would fill in whenever the musicians took a break or two.

Oh, and because it was Valentine's Day, the place was packed, I mean, REALLY packed with young couples dressing up and sitting across from each other, eating and throwing awkward conversations lol. So, if you are looking for a more private place, this might not be it. But if you're looking for a more casual-yet-you-can-still-dress-up fine dining moment, you know where to call:

Keep Moving Forward

Have you ever felt like the Universe is trying to tell you something?

Every once in a while something strange or should I say, a series of unfortunate events, happens to you that can only mean the Universe is sending you a message. Right now I'm at the point of figuring out what the message is.

But I guess whatever it is, I will always keep moving forward, being positive and have my faith in Him. I believe that what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. That has always been my way of living my life.

"I hope wherever you are, things turned out right. 
But it's never the same, when you lose some, you gain some."

Elle's Japan Outfit #2 + Sushi Bar


I've told you about the freezing weather in Japan right? The good news is the temperature will be a lot warmer in the afternoon (and less windy!), that's why I could happily wear this pastel nets sweater paired with cream high-waisted skirt from Gowigasa :D
But of course I didn't forget to bring my coat and socks for a cold night that awaited us... ╥_╥


For the accessories, I wore this soft pink cat-ears beanie and cat-face print stockings that I think match very well with the whole outfit.

As I've shared on my Instagram, these flat shoes from Comfit are amazingly comfortable. I was very thankful I brought them with me on our full-of-walking-around trip! They are also my everyday shoes here in Jakarta :)

That day we opted to eat at a Sushi Bar near our hotel, named Ganso Zushi. 
It is a sushi bar chain and has many locations scattered all over Japan.

(Fyi, we went there twice and the photos below are from the first visit, except for the last one!)

You can see how small this place is, but no need to worry about not getting seats because the turnover is quite high as people eat fast here.
Cool sushi clock! Notice that the hands of the clock resemble chopsticks and the exterior of the clock looks like a bento bowl.
Yes, we make our own ocha (green tea) here with the hot water dispenser and green tea powder (at first I thought it was wasabi).
There are two kinds of green tea powder, and I personally like the roasted rice mix better.
The conveyor belt *om nom nom*
Look at how nice the ratio of fish-to-rice is! :D The unagi one is my favorite (1st pic)!
You can never have enough sushi.
There is a little drawer inside the chopstick's holder where they stock toothpicks. Talk about efficiency.
More packed in the afternoon (when we went there for the second time).
Ok, enough sushi for today! Thank you for reading and see you on my next post! ;)

Not so Girly


I've been missing pastel colors and floral print for quite a while, so today without second thought, I picked out my floral bralette (which happens to be pastel) and paired it with this dainty soft yellow blazer that I got from Efoxcity (they have it in mint color too! It was really hard for me to choose one), a pair of lilac pants I bought from Singapore, ZARA white slim bag, anddd yellow heels from Comfit! ♥


Floral pattern and pastel colors tend to be associated with girls or femininity, therefore I chose blazer and pants as my outerwear and bottoms to make this outfit not so girly.

NOT that I hate looking girly alright. My outfit just depends a lot on my mood and I wasn't feeling girly enough today. I was tempted to pick a cream lace skirt though! *oh so fickle*

I personally love these shoes because although the heel height is fairly high, they are still comfortable for walking all day; and the color is pretty rare to find, don't you think? :)

Anyway, today is Friday!!
Have a great weekend, lovely people! ;D
