First, i did not have a plan to take a dim sun, but since my plan going to another cafe for lunch was disappointed, in 11.00 am the waitress said the menu was not ready, I think when you're ope the restaurant, you should have set all foods ready. So i just went to Tim Ho Wan, one of restaurant with one Michelin star in town. It's specialist in Dim Sum menu. I was surprise when get in the restaurant and it was absolutely crowded. I just ask the waitress how many customers before us, she asked to wait on the 3rd floor.

One of their favorite dish i had is Swedish Meatballs , its awesome! around Rp 60.000 i could get 20-30 meatballs, just let you know it's a real meatballs! not what you call "flourball" :-D it's served with sauce like mushroom
