Kelapa Gading Mall already good choice already. Huge mall wth 2 sections just like Mid Valley & Garden or 1U old & new wing

pullman is very good choice, near to plaza indonesia, grand indonesia, jalan sabang, jalan jaksa, etc
many travellers told that the japanese food restaurant in pullman was taste really really great
you can try go to plaza semanggi, waiting for sunset and having dinner in sky dinning,, you can also see jakarta landscape at night

when you in gading area, you can try nuris steak Jalan Boulevard Raya TB 2 No 27, Kelapa Gading (if u eat pork) the pork ribs is awsome 

when you go to kelapa gading mall, do not forget to visit La Piazza, its a nice place at night

if there anything to ask, i will gladly trying to help you 

yes you shoud concern about it,,
some peoples in jakarta Will take a chance when you unawares,,Though not everyone so,, Moreover, if they know you are foreign tourists
jakarta is different with bali,, hahaha
so better be careful if any suspicious people come your way..
haha..

but there are many indonesian peoples Pretending to be good, helpfull and manners too
so the point is, just enjoy your holiday  but Stay vigilant.. (My own motto while travelling: "stay alert even though we are in the safest place in the world")

Hmnnn din know smart deteriorate badly fsince my last stay there in 2011  .. That time, It's really a value for money for a RM110/nite for this suppose to be Budget hotel but was given the most spacious room (but wth small batroom)...& speedy WIFI  ...Now no idea 

hi everyone, i'd be heading to jakarta to spend and waste some time soon in may for a 3d 2n trip

hope anyone could give me some heads up

i think of flying airasia to jakarta on a friday and be back on a sunday

would reach jakarta roughly timing 8:05 am

i'm not too sure on which hotel to choose, le meridien jakarta, or millennium hotel or hotel aryaduta or jw marriot

budget is around RM1,500 for flight and hotel stay

my intention to jakarta is to stroll around the shopping center and people watch. and of course eat at any random shop in a shopping center

i'm not buying anything as in kl i can find what i want already but i hope that RM1000 (idr 3,462,418) is sufficient for the trip. is it so?

which is the recommended hotel and someone pls suggest how do i get from seokarno hatta airport to the hotel? the best and cheapest alternative to shopping center and all? pls guide me how to get there and all

i'm not fussy when it comes to food, so i basically can eat anything available in the shopping belts
at night, preferably i would like drink a few pints of beer at a decent bar (affordable within my total budget of course)

hope a kind soul can help me out with much thanks 

yeah below rm150 per way is acceptable. u could also have a look at malindo their prices are decent as well and the fares already include 20kg luggage.
