Valentine Dinner 2014

I know it is kinda late to post about Valentine Dinner on October. But It never occurs to me to share about this private event. At least, not until I saw the videos I made during the dinner. I guess I always plan to actually share it on my blog, I just somehow didn't remember.

I was pretty lucky that February. I keep winning a lot of contest on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. I got free Brunch Buffet for 2 in Intercontinental MidPlaza Jakarta, Romantic Dinner for 2 in Cloud Lounge and Living Room, and other gifts from magazines that I never claimed because I was too lazy to go and retrieve the gift.

The one I am going to talk about is the Romantic Dinner in Cloud Lounge. I got the gift from Nu Green Tea. Around late January and early February, they had this contest on Twitter to create a pick up line. Well, apparently I still have that flirtatious Gemini inside of me. So creating pick up line was not that hard for me. Obviously this Gemini won the quiz along with 2 other person.

3 Couples, winners of Nü Gombal from Nü GreenTea

On the day of the dinner, me and boyfriend came early. So I got a chance to document everything on the location. Aaaah it was strikingly beautiful up there in Cloud. They do know how to get a girl going. They re-create romance in a fancy semi-private room for dining. There was only 5 tables there. I assume there were 5 winners. Actually there were only 3 winners including me and the rest of the tables was occupied by Nu Green Tea PR Team.

The Foods;

Appetizer; Salad

Bf is a vegetarian. So he exchanged the steak to vegetarian pizza.

This is my original steak. I asked them to made new one without the cream and well done.

The new one, still not as well done as I hope it could be.

I didn't eat mine because I have lactose intolerant.

 Food-wise, it wasn't really memorable for me. But we were blown away by the decoration. The bar on the 30th floor (I think) was really nice too. It was an open sky bar and that night the weather was pretty nice. There were 2 other couples. But we didn't really talk to them. Everyone was enjoying their romantic night with their partner.

Jakartan will be very happy to know that there is a new hotspot to hangout with a new unique concept located in the heart of Jakarta or known as the Golden Triangle of Jakarta, Sudirman area.

Intercontinental Jakarta Mid Plaza Hotel or known internationally as Intercontinental Hotel and locally as Mid Plaza Hotel, finally launched their new bar with a unique concept. They merged a bar/lounge with an essence of Indonesian culture on their design. It is not just any bar, it is more like an outdoor lounge where you can gaze at the stars or Jakarta lights. The lightning surrounding the area made to look romantic and comfortable for the eyes. The sounds of dripping water merge beautifully with the music.

Prior to the event, they sent me an invitation by mail with the cutest form of invitation. I adore the design so much that It will definitely stay in my table as a room decor. I didn't expect the invitation to be this gorgeous yet adorable. I am a sucker for everything cute. They definitely know how to capture their audience. When I got the invitation card, I know the event would be an awesome one. And I was right!

Catrina, their friendly PR, told me that I can bring a +1. So I came with Dewi (I met her from an online gathering community once, and we have been friends for almost 2 years now). We were so surprise with how packed it was around 6.30pm. Usually the party would not start that early unless it is a really cool place. We saw the line for the seafood was so long. We decided to stroll for other tasty sweet tapas collection. 

I am a big fan of Churros. So happy to find it there.

The Wine was so light and smells nice. It has a little hint of sweetness on the smell and the taste. I love the taste. Too bad I forgot to ask the name for this wine.

We also tried their Photo-box section. The photographer was impatient, we didn't get to practice our best pose. Both of us were not happy with how it came out.

We decided to get back to Seafood section. We had to stay on the long line for a while. But it was super worth it. Their main chef cooked it himself on the outdoor area. It was amazing to see the master worked on his art. I forgot to take video/picture. We were too amaze with the foods. We both fell in love with the mushroom tapas and their fish delicacies. Super Lezato!!

 I ordered this sweet and delightful "Red Revenge" from their free flow cocktail bar. Surely a very pretty and pleasant-tasting beverage. I was quite content. Not too long, I met my friend that I met previously in Peeta Planet Blogger Gathering, Tasha. She introduced us to 2 of her friends. We had a quick chat. I told her she won a price but she was not coming to the stage so they had to choose another winner. Unfortunately, I won nothing that night. But the night it self already very rewarding experience for me. I suggested my 3 gorgeous  friends to try JimBARan's "Red Revenge".  I hope that would make Tasha less disappointed about not claiming her winning prize.

Before I went home, Aileen and Catrina reminded me that they have goody bag for us. There are what I got on the bad; A picture frame that looks like on of JimBARan's Bamboo decoration and a voucher worth 35% discount.

Oh, you can also check my friend, Tasha's blog for another story of the event in this link;
