Something New, Something Old
We picked you up again as we said goodbye to Taman Anggrek Mall and walked across to Central Park Mall. Feeling a little thirsty, we stopped at the Starbucks on the ground floor and ordered:
- Iced Hibiscus Tea
- Hot Caffè Mocha
Total: IDR123,000
Once we were fuelled up, we began exploring this huge mall.
A Quick Look Around
Our first stop was Foto Nusantara on Level 1, but we didn’t find a suitable backpack. We then went up one floor to the Adidas store, but the Manchester United collection was limited.
We browsed a little more before deciding to call it a day at Central Park Mall. Even though it was big and lively, we still preferred the cosy feel of Grand Indonesia.
At half past two, we booked a fixed fare Bluebird taxi. The ride cost IDR97,000 and took forty five minutes because of heavy traffic, even though the driver tried his best to use back roads and small lanes.
A Stop for Fragrance and Crafts
Our first mission was to look for my favourite fragrance, “Into the Woods” by Carl & Claire. Sadly, it had been discontinued. In the end, we bought three 30ml bottles of “Song of the Youth” for IDR837,000.
Next was Kamalika Prints, where Cat picked up a folded printed bag and four small coin pouches for IDR240,000.
After that, we entered Sarinah and started browsing from the second floor downwards.
Sweet Treats at Sarinah
We eventually reached Pasar Nusantara Sarinah on the lower ground floor. At Sari Sari, we bought a mix of sweet cakes for IDR44,000.
Still looking for a bigger portion of Cat’s favourite layer cake, we walked into Pasarina by Ranch Market, also on the lower ground floor. They didn’t have it, so Cat settled for two boxes of Lapis Surabaya cake for IDR208,500.
Back on the ground floor, we picked up two boxes of Mama John’s Pineapple Tart for IDR298,000. That wrapped up our quick shopping spree at Sarinah Mall.
Heading Back Before Rush Hour
As the afternoon stretched on, we stepped outside and caught one last fixed fare Bluebird taxi for IDR32,000 back to Thamrin Residence, hoping to beat the evening rush.
Once home, we ordered two sets of McDonald’s Prosperity Burger through GrabFood — chicken for Cat and beef for me — for IDR174,000.
Packing for Tomorrow
This turned out to be our final outing of the day. We spent the rest of the evening organising our many new clothes and trying to fit everything into our yellow submarines for our flight to Kuala Lumpur the next morning.
