Cap Go Meh Celebration at Central Park

As I live in Jakarta, in Kemanggisan region specifically, there was no such celebration of Cap Go Meh like in my hometown Pontianak. No dragons or lions parade on the road :(

I googled for any lion or dragon performance in Jakarta, apparently there's two, one at Central Park and the other one at Pacific Place Mall. xD

I decided to go to Central Park (Feb 6th) to celebrate Cap Go Meh with my friends, unfortunately it was only  two of us. :|

The mall has a good decoration celebrating the year of the dragon.


It even displays all the 12 Chinese zodiacs...
It is scattered all around the mall, so it took times to take all of the picture. But I manage it :D


I was really enthusiastic to see the lion and dragon performance but unfortunately it was already held on the previous day. :(

Nevertheless, Cap Go Meh's celebration is not only about the lion and dragon performance, it is also about the togetherness and... luxurious dinner :)

We chose Waraku as our dinner place because it has a 20% disc promo for students. 


It is a Japanese restaurant
We ordered Chicken Katsu Curry Don IDR 69,800 and Chikuwa IDR 49,800.
The available portion are mini and regular for Chicken Katsu Curry Don.
We "thought" "mini" was very small and could not fill up our stomach, so we ordered the "regular" portion.


We were so happy after the food came that we took our picture with the  food. :p
This is our innocent and happy expression.


After eating for a while, we realized that we have been deceived by the size of the food.
Damn! It is written regular portion but in fact it was like extra large portion.
We almost used all of our strength to eat the rice (well if all of our strength was used, we wouldn't be able to walk after eating ;p), but we still left some rice on the bowl.
I was like experiencing "eat as many as you can" competition.


However, the food was very delicious. Oishi desu!
We were satisfied but on the other hand we regretted that we ordered the "regular" portion, "mini" should be enough. :-D T_T
If your order is above IDR 200,000 you can get 25%disc.
Not bad right?

Last... my picture with the dragon ;)
