Re-union at UNION Plaza Senayan

August 27, 2014



It's been a while since I last saw Sophie, last time was when I was in Singapore for an event, but unfortunately we didn't have much time to sit and talk. So last week she suddenly contacted me and said she'd have a short trip in Jakarta. And of course I almost say no to a friend invitation, especially when they're from overseas and we haven't met for a while. So I adjusted my schedule, picked her up, and brought her to a nice cafe she wanted

I am not really an outdoor person and though I love nice cafes and restaurants, it is mostly heard from a friend. Some of my friends mentioned UNION recently so I am pretty curious to check it out. Hence it becomes my choice to bring Sophie here!



I dressed for a very simple and casual outfit
White crop top and Flare Skirt from Chlorine Clothe [she's my classmate btw]
And also Denim Jacket from Gowigasa [my bestfriends run this shop]


Some of my friends have worked on e-commerce and I think it's gonna be a pretty promising career in the future for young generations. 


Sophie helped me to take pictures.. 
Usually it's pretty difficult for me to take outfit photos whenever I'm out because
1. Nobody to help me taking pictures because the other party is a client, not friend
2. If there's friend, then that person is not blogger and they don't know how take ootd pictures
3. Going out at night with friends when there's no sun or good lighting
4. And of course, when I dress shabbily :x



I should do this once in a while!
Taking outfit pictures is so fun ^.^


The lighting at UNION is mad awesome during the day! Because its window design from top and side reflects the sunlight and it gives you enough lighting to help taking a selfie!


Super bright and clear, it's all thanks to sun! 


I recommend this place to take pictures because you can have good outdoor lighting for selfie, but still chill enough to stay indoor. Last time I went to Odysseia is pretty good, but however it's outdoor so it's humid and hot while the indoor area is pretty dark :x
Oh the pain of looking for cafes for selfie lol #BloggerProblems 


I ordered Roasted Chicken with Barbecue Sauce!
The food is pretty nice, the meat is pretty tender and well marinated. But my tongue has tasted Japanese Fine Foods and this makes the score only around 6,5/10 haha


UNION is pretty crowded during that day, but everyone mostly said that it's always crowded, so better book beforehand or prepare your time waiting! Also though it's crowded, it's still a good place to eat and chat with your friends. Sophie and I were given 2 hours to have a meal at UNION and though it's quite common in Japan to set a time for each guests, this is the first time I have the same experience in Indonesia

That shows how popular this place is wow!


Bless the lighting . . 


And took a cake like a pro food blogger
Sophie arranged the whole thing lol


Only need a little bit of photoshop to help sharpening and give a tone of colour, but omg I love love love UNION lighting.


For dessert, we have Flaky Doughnut with Ice Cream. I was too full at that time so I didn't order one but I tried Sophie's dessert one bite. 
We're pretty interested with the cakes and everyone said that the cakes are so good, but we're shocked with the gigantic size!

If we share one cake together it would be ok, but I was not in mood for one

Maybe next time I really should eat one!! 


The elegant Sophie!
Come back again ok!!! 



After eating, we went to Senayan City for shopping some stuffs, and I drove her back to her hotel as I had next appointment. It was so fun to finally catch up and share stories about bloggers job, our life, and boys lol
I wish she would come back again pretty soon!
