Anniversary Weekend in Jakarta - Saturday

It was also Sam & Alice's Engagement Party!













We were told it is a 'tea ceremony' and were only given the date, time and the place.

Luckily Matt did not turn up with shorts and sandals because it was a full-on Chinese/Indonesian engagement party @ Ekaria behind Gajah Mada Plaza, Kota.

Because Sam's family is from Sri Lanka and they do not know the Chinese custom, it was funny to see Alice's family arranging it but the actual meaning of the ceremony is from the Groom's family offering to the Brides' family.


Everyone was in smiles, food was nice, Karaoke is on and it was a nice Saturday afternoon. And it proves again, mix marriages are getting more and more common today.
















At night, we went to Daichan's newly opened restaurant "Don" @ Kyoei Prince Plaza.

This is one of the most centrally located restaurant he has ever opened.

It was good to see Daichan's dad and our dad healthy.
We were so proud for Daichan, the iron chef! and honored to be treated with such delicacy!




Fugu sashimi and live Unagi always fascinates us, especially Gaijin ...
