Im staying at a nice Hilton in Jakarta. So mostly eating their great breakfast, plus room service for afternoon tea and evening cocktails/snacks.
I was still a bit hungry tonight, so my wife ordered a special Yoshinoya independence day package (75th ID). Two beef bowls, 4 pieces of dim sum, 2 ocha teas, and a cute Sanrio boxed character. I got a Bad Batz-Maru. Less than $7.
While waiting downstairs for delivery, the staff offered my wife a free dessert, so I got a nice raspberry cheesecake, too.

Dim sum is shumai, but not beef. Chicken, or perhaps chicken/shrimp mix. My kid stole my Sanrio toy. She had her own, but noooooooo.

Pulled pork burrito with guac from a street van. The van comes to our village 1 night a week and parked up a 3 min walk from my house.
