With each New Year comes a chance to get it right, it’s the proverbial clean slate. We now find ourselves adjusting and settling into this new season. Resolutions aside, 2012 is shaping up to be quite an eventful year for us here in the capital and the rest of Indonesia. Upcoming marquee events like the International Java Jazz Festival (the largest jazz festival in South East Asia), the Karate World Cup, the Jakarta International Fabric Show, the Ambon Jazz Plus Festival, and so much more. This is fast becoming the ‘it’ city in the Southeast region, notorious for its nightlife and all round good times. We at The Beat are proud to be part of this megapolitan evolution. Dynamic approaches are set in place for a much greener Jakarta as well, community based movements are set to properly introduce urban farming to the nation’s capital. This, combined with other public initiatives is set to make the big durian a much more vibrant and eclectic capital city. The fact is, the only constant thing in life is change, so, get ready readers because this city is getting a much needed facelift and we are all a part of it.

Seperti kata pepatah bahwa apabila kita memulai sesuatu dengan baik maka hal buruk dari masa lalu akan hilang; dan ini berarti pada tiap tahun baru terdapat kesempatan untuk membenahi diri. Saat ini kita sedang berusaha menyesuaikan diri dengan musim yang baru. Selain resolusi, 2012 adalah tahun yang penuh dengan acara-acara seru untuk kita di Jakarta dan seluruh Indonesia. Acara-acara menarik yang akan datang seperti International Java Jazz Festival (festival jazz terbesar di Asia Tenggara), Karate World Cup, Jakarta International Fabric Show, Ambon Jazz plus Festival dan masih banyak lagi. Kota ini dengan cepat menjadi kota yang populer di daerah tenggara, terkenal untuk kehidupan malam dan hal-hal menyenangkan lainnya dan kami dari The Beat bangga dapat menjadi bagian dari perkembangan kota megapolitan ini. Pendekatan dinamis juga telah dilakukan agar Jakarta menjadi lebih hijau, gerakan-gerakan berbasis masyarakat diatur untuk benar memperkenalkan Urban Farming ke ibukota. Hal ini dikombinasikan dengan inisiatif publik lainnya untuk membuat kota durian menjadi ibukota yang jauh lebih besar dan bersemangat. Faktanya adalah, satu-satunya hal konstan dalam hidup adalah perubahan, jadi bersiaplah para pembaca, karena kota ini butuh lebih banyak perubahan dan kita semua menjadi bagian dari itu.

What music are you into at the moment?E (Endah): Oh, I love the Primus album titled Antipop. I listen to it over and over again and never get bored. When I listen to the music, I always try to have the musician’s perspective, in this case, its Primus. I’m always curious about how they can make such great guitar licks and unpredictable chord progressions. Primus is totally insane.R (Rhesa): The Rocket Science album by Béla Fleck & The Flecktones. Maybe it’s gonna be their last album. I hope it’s not. Because they (Béla Fleck, Victor Wooten, Future Man, Howard Levy) are getting older and it’s the Béla Fleck & the Flecktones original formation. Very sentimental…

What was the first record you bought—any interesting story behind it?E: It was Mr. Big’s Lean into It. I started to play an electric guitar when I was nine years old and my big brother forced me to buy Mr. Big album and challenged me to learn “Green-Tinted Sixties Mind’s guitar intro. And yes, I did it perfectly. Ha ha ha!R: Tommy Page’s Shoulder to Cry On. All my family and friends bought that album because the song was so popular at that time. So, I thought, I had to follow the trend too. Ha ha ha!

What are your all-time favorite albums? E: - OST The Lion King album. I love the music, the composition, arrangement, lyrics, and the voice of characters from the album. The album is good for any situation and mood. It cheers me up! - Californication (Red Hot Chilli Pepper). I know that Frusciante lost his guitar skills at that time. But, he has his unique guitar licks and the power of rhythm in this album. Sexy! And all Béla Fleck & the Flecktones albums.... they are just... perfect!R: - Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chilli Pepper. Because it’s the golden era of John Frusciante’s guitar skills. - Under the Table and Dreaming by Dave Matthew’s Band. It inspired me a lot in how to play acoustic guitar in different way.

What was the worst record you ever purchased?E: I dont remember the title of the album. I just remember that I bought one instrumental album as a present for my dad many years ago. And its sound was bad! All of the instruments were using BAD MIDI sampling. No dynamic or intonation in the notes. The musical expression was FLAT! The guitar sampling was terrible; the only good sound was the piano! Hahaha! You can imagine my

face when I gave it to my dad and listened to it together with him. I took back the CD and bought him THE REAL MUSIC: Frank Sinatra Orchestra. R: I never regret the albums I buy. Even though the music is not so good, but the artwork cover looks good on my rack.

Who do you want to be, other than yourself, next time you reincarnate?E: I want to be a young professional classical guitarist like Thibault Cauvin of France.R: Steve Jobs.

What book are you reading now and what’s the score (1-10)? Borrow or buy?E: Buy! Steven Tyler’s “Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?” I give it nine out of 10! Many secrets revealed! I love Steven Tyler. It’s interesting to get a little peek into the life of a rockstar. Hahaha! R: Buy. Home Recording Studio: Build it Like a Pro. I give it perfect score, 10 out of 10! It helps me to make it in my house. Hahaha!

What new movie should people see? Why?E: Sherlock Holmes. It’s outstanding. They can put the tension on from the beginning ‘till the end of the movie. Very awesome details. The story, music and pictures are stunning! Well, even though I prefer Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock Holmes TV series) to Robert Downey Jr., but still I think it is a good movie based on its production.R: Tintin (2011). You have to watch it because it uses great animation technology that has never been used before.

What album do you choose to start your weekend?E: Actually, there is no particular music to start the weekend, but if I want to start my weekend with working (performing with Endah N Rhesa), I decide to listen to Béla Fleck & The Flecktones Live at the Quick. I love to catch their chemistry while they’re jamming on the stage so it can boost my mood when I’m on stage too.R: Richard Bona’s album named TIKI. It’s cheerful.

And song/album you choose to end your weekend?E: Anything... it won’t ruin my mood. Weekdays means holidays! Hahaha... musician starts the weekend on weekdays. (wink)R: TOR. The album from TOR that I’ve co-produced. It will be released soon.

Different markets in dif ferent countries in the world should be one of a kind and an interesting place to explore. Jakarta markets are no dif ferent, and TBJ is going to take you to several unique markets from the North to the South of our lovely town. (Dini Siregar)

PasaR Pagi asEmka

(asEmka moRning maRkEt)

Formerly called Pasar Pagi Lama, this particular market specializes in selling a wide variety of women’s accessories, such as long and short necklaces, bracelets, earrings, hair accessories, with a low negotiable price. A lot of the items are imported from China and Taiwan, but Indonesian craftsmen also have their work sold here. To be noted, not all the kiosk at Asemka sell retail, some also sell wholesale. The more quantity you buy, the lower the price you can get.

Located at: Jalan Asemka, Taman Sari, Jakarta 11110.

PasaR ULaR / Pa-UL (ULaR maRkEt)

Ular means snake in Bahasa Indonesia. But that doesn’t mean that this market sells those scary reptilians. Pasar Ular got its name due to its location, which is at one long narrow street (about 1,5 meter wide) that resembles a snake if seen from above. Pasar Ular’s kiosks sell a variety of things, from clothes to electronics, from counterfeited products to 100% genuine stuff. If you’re looking for good quality shoes, jackets, bags or leather wallets, but don’t have enough funds to buy them, you should come here. You just have to be smart and careful, and recognized which is real and which is a knock-off. What is certain is they are all at crazy low prices.

Located at: There are two location of Pasar Ular, the first one is at Jalan Raya Plumpang, and the other one is at Jalan Kebon Bawang, both at North Jakarta.

PasaR Rawa BELong

(Rawa BELong maRkEt)

Flowers to light up your eyes and to soothe your nose are what you get if you go to this market. Rawa Belong Market is one of the largest flower markets in Southeast Asia. They sell orchids, roses, jasmines, tulips, lilies and other flowers. This market has two time spans for different flower deliveries. From 2 to 6am, fresh flowers will be delivered from Bandung and Sukabumi. Whereas from 2 to 9pm, it’s time for the flowers from Sumatera to be delivered.

Located at: Jalan Sulaeman, Kebon Jeruk, Jakarta Barat.

Horseback riding (the official term is Equestrianism) is not a very common activity in Jakarta. But what do you know, a handful of people here are

actually practicing this rather prestigious sport. If you go to the outskirts of Jakarta, to Cinere to be precise, you will find Arthayasa Stables & Country Club, a top of the line International standard riding school, and a recreational spot for the whole family to enjoy. Built in 1992, Arthayasa provides training from professional trainers and instructors. Since then, it has developed into one of the best places for equestrian activities, not just in Jakarta, but also in Southeast Asia.

The horses and ponies are the finest breeds, with special care by trainers and regular visits by vets and horse care experts from Europe and Australia. If you’re also interested in purchasing top breed horses, a full range of services are offered, such as artificial insemination, natural breeding, or simply buying your own horse or stallion, which I’m pretty sure is not going to be low-cost.

Arthayasa has served as a venue for several equestrian events until now. Back in August, it

was the venue for the World Jumping Challenge, which will serve as a tryout for Indonesia’s Equestrian athletes before they compete at the SEA Games. Then for the 26th Southeast Asian Games in November, Arthayasa was once again the place where they held equestrian events.

Other than horseback riding, the country club also provides a swimming pool and a tennis court, a fully functional clubhouse and a multipurpose function room. The natural environment at Arthayasa makes every visit feel relaxing and at the same time educational for children. It will definitely leave a precious and unforgettable experience for you and your family. (Dini siregar)

Can you remember exactly what you did on Monday, October 25, 2010? Most unlikely. Let me rephrase the question to jog your memory. That day (easy to remember as it was

exactly two calendar months before Christmas) was when a colossal rain storm in Jakarta caused unparalleled havoc in the capital city. How did you get home that night?

My usual, 20-minute ojek (motorcycle taxi) journey became an epic, two-and-a-half-hour expedition as I first searched for a taxi and then got caught in near gridlock, all with no let-up from the incessant rain. People complained about it for days and weeks later, as some did not arrive home until the early hours of the morning.

That was probably the worst example of Jakarta rain-induced traffic chaos in living memory. We’d better prepare ourselves, though, for the government’s weather agency has been giving stark warnings that this year’s wet season will peak from mid-January to mid-February. What’s more, it will coincide with two high tides in January, so flooding in northern parts of the city is highly likely.

Ominously, we are in the fifth year of what seems to be a five-yearly cycle of exceptionally heavy rains – remember early 2002 and 2007? The city authorities have been saying for weeks now they’ve been preparing for the worst but you can imagine what will happen once the deluge begins.

Flooding will occur, as the drainage system will get clogged up due to the sheer amount of rubbish that’s been swept into it (how often do you witness that, by the way?) while the traffic, already moving at snail’s pace, will grind to a halt completely.

One can only imagine what the scene will be like at locations where traffic congestion is already bad, for example where major road improvement projects are still ongoing – like right in front of Mal Ambassador, Jl. Dr Satrio.

Perhaps the most surprising aspect is how we, as individuals, behave. When I first lived in Jakarta, many years ago, I was frequently surprised (annoyed, even) at how people seemed so unprepared for rain.

‘Why don’t they carry umbrellas?’ I thought. Having been here for a while, I find myself as guilty as all those other umbrella-less people, reliant on the boys (yes, it’s still mainly boys that do it) who offer you an umbrella while they get soaked walking alongside you. Somehow they still manage to keep smiling, though.

I remember once being caught in Jakarta, completely unprepared for heavy rain. Although it was an overcast day, there was no prior warning that the heavens were about to open. When that happened, I was about as far as it was possible to be from any form of shelter like a tree, bus stop or shop doorway.

Within seconds, I was as drenched as if I’d been standing, fully clothed, in a shower with the water running at full blast. By then there was no point in seeking shelter so I carried on walking through the downpour, much to the surprise of onlookers.

I felt almost like breaking into a chorus from that iconic scene in the film musical Singin’ in the Rain: Gene Kelly gets drenched and ends up using his umbrella as an impromptu dancing partner and kicking the rain in the gutter, as a raincoat-clad cop looks on.

You’re likely to get wet one way or another over the next few weeks so instead of cursing you’ve forgotten your umbrella or raincoat take a deep breath and remember that it’s an inevitable part of living in the tropics.

After all, even Orchard Road sometimes gets flooded in that most well-organised of cities, Singapore.

T idung Island is the new paradise that everyone’s been talking about, especially among backpackers. It is the largest island and the

center sub district of the Kepulauan Seribu archipelagos located at the north of Jakarta. The island is populated with 3000 families, mostly fishermen. On the east side of this island, there’s the Pulau Tidung Kecil (the small Tidung Island) that is connected by a two kilometer long bridge called Jembatan Cinta (Love Bridge). Walking along the wooden bridge, you can see the clear water below, with coral and colorful fishes everywhere.It was the place where Fatahillah (an Indonesian warrior) and his troops took refuge from the Dutch back in the old days, thus the name Tidung, which means ‘shelter’. But these days, Tidung Island is the place where regular people take “refuge” from their daily lives, and enjoy the secluded island living provided, but still with cool activities to look forward to, such as snorkeling, fishing, and some water sports, or exploring the island riding a bicycle with friends and families.Visitors can fish at the dock, or rent a fisherman’s boat (approximately IDR 400k/boat) to optimize their fishing experience. As for snorkeling or diving, the proper equipment complete with small boats to do

so is now provided conveniently for renting for approximately IDR 35k/person.If you’re too lazy to walk around the island, renting a bike only cost around IDR 20k/person. Otherwise, this island’s amazingly very clear ocean water; with white sands overlaying the beach, or the stunning sunrises and sunsets, is very beautiful and an enjoyable gaze, enough to satisfy your eyes.There are no hotels in sight yet at the island, but do not worry, you will find many affordable big size inns and lodges (approximately IDR 200-300k/night) provided by the locals, mostly fitting up to 5-8 persons per room, with different facilities available for rent around the island. To get to the island, all you need to do is go to the Muara Angke Jakarta Port or Muara Cituis Tangerang Port. There will be the Tidung Island local boat scheduled in specific hours everyday to take the tourists there, with a reasonable price of approximately IDR 35k/person.For an adrenaline rush, don’t forget to jump off the dock of Tidung Island to the beautiful turquoise ocean waters, and test your bravado!

- Profesional Tarot reader - - Fortune teller -

Alfa Reva

The word ‘tarot is believed to originate from the arabic word turuc which means ‘four pathways’. Somewhere between the year 1430 & 1450 tarot cards were believed to be created in northern Italy with allegorical illustrations added

to the common four-suit pack. These new decks were named ‘carte da trionfi’ or triumph cards, additional cards became simply known as trionfi or what we now know as trump cards.

Q. Alfa, first and foremost. How did you find yourself being a tarot card reader?

A. I was inspired to this because my sister, Mieke Rose, is herself a professional tarot reader and so from there I picked up a couple of tricks and decided that I wanted to pursue it. I have been doing this for over 10 years now and don’t see my self stopping.

Q. What sort of reactions do you get when you tell people that you are a tarot reader?

A. Oh they love it. People get excited about my profession and almost immediately want me to do a reading for them. Haha. Unfortunately only introductions are free, I’ve got to make a living you see.

Q. A lot of people seem to think that tarot reading is some sort of a cult. What’s your take on this?

A. Well you know people are entitled to their opinions. For me its an art and for many who have experienced tarot reading I am sure they would agree. This is not some dark art filled with elements of wizardry and ideas like that. I think it’s misunderstood because it is ancient and ancient art brings with it a lot of weird and wonderful stories. Rest assured a session with me is not going to leave you with the creeps.

Q. For the tarot baby or the skeptics out there, explain the benefits of tarot reading.

A. OK, basically tarot reading is a medium to foretell or foresee the future. Now what you see can then be altered and changed. For example if the reading shows that you will face a financial

difficulty through your spending habits it gives you a wake up call, it allows you time to make the right choices, hence completely changing the result of the reading or minimizing its effects. It allows you to make wiser decisions.

Q. Interesting, I am sure a lot of people will be looking for your services. Where can we find you?

A. For those interested in sitting down for a reading session they can find me in one of the cafes/lounge in Gandaria City mall. I am there once a week for consultation or you can always contact me directly at 0818 0749 1975 or email me at [email protected]

Q. The good and bad of your job?

A. The Good is when my reading brings with it a solution for the problem and the bad is when I have to break some bad news.

Q. Finally, what can you reveal to The Beat and our readers for the year ahead?

A. 2012. One thing is for sure, it is going to be unique. There will be a lot of movements and unpredictable shifts in nature that will force humankind to pay more attention and make careful decisions when it comes to the environment around them. Globally the economic condition will recover and also a lot of socially active movements will be more effective in helping fellow humans raise a lot their standard of living and in the entertainment world true quality will stand out and those who have relied purely on physical or financial traits will be slowly and surely eliminated. Its definitely a year of good hope.

Casanova, the famous lover, wrote a an interesting remark in his diary stating his then Russian mistress frequently used a deck of playing cards for divination and this was proof that tarot card had been associated with mysticism and magic.

The story of tarot cards and tarot reading continues to evolve and today finds itself a growing trend in the Capital city. Curious individuals now turn to this ancient art to reveal glimpses of the future, of what is to be. Questions range from romance to finance, from family to friends and so much more.

Are you also a curious soul? Well, if you are then meet Alfa Reva. The Jakarta resident who started his career as a tarot card reader in Semarang has over ten years experience under his belt. Alfa is as reliable as it gets when it comes to reading these decks of wisdom. In his own words tarot card is a medium to look into the future and assess and manage the risks from these visions. After all what good is it to know the future and be able to nothing about it. The Beat sits down with Alfa and discusses a few things coming up in 2012.

If you think you haven’t had enough New Year’s Concerts this year, then think again, here is another one to fulfill your classical music desires. Dr. Stephen Tong of Jakarta Simfonia Orchestra and Jakarta Oratorio Society is continuing the New Year’s concert tradition again this year and plans to perform this coming January 21, 2012.

Perhaps there is no need to introduce the Jakarta Simfonia Orchestra and Jakarta Oratorio Society. They are known as the residents at Aula Simfonia Jakarta and are under the baton of Dr. Stephen Tong. They regularly entertain Jakarta classical music lovers and this time, they are going to inspire you with Beethoven and Haydn.

To excite your classical appetite, Dr. Stephen Tong chooses Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major or known as the Emperor Waltz. It is not everyday we can hear this 40 minute concerto performed in Jakarta. Written between 1809 and 1811, The Emperor Concerto was Beethoven’s last piano concerto. Though he had lost his hearing entirely by this time, it didn’t prevent him from composing music and this piano concerto is the proof. It is definitely a rare treat to enjoy.

From Beethoven, the upcoming New Year’s Concert 2012 goes to Haydn’s renown work: The Seasons. After the success of Haydn’s previous oratorio “The Creation” in 1798, he was led to compose “The Seasons”. Based from the English

poem “The Seasons” by James Thomson (1700-1748), this composition is written for a fairly large late-classical orchestra, a chorus singing mostly in four parts, and three vocal soloists representing archetypal country folk of a bass, a tenor and a soprano. The oratorio is divided into four parts (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter) with the usual recitatives, arias, choruses and ensemble numbers.

Though this work perhaps is not as popular as “The Creation”, many critics appreciate and consider it as one of the greatest works in the century and to be more musical than the first oratorio. “No music has elated me more in old age then The Seasons”, said classical music critic Daniel Heartz.

So, if you think you haven’t had enough classical music already at the beginning of 2012, this New Year’s Concert will definitely fulfill your classical music hunger.

kopitiam (or kopi tiam) is a traditional breakfast and coffee shop found in South East Asia. The word ‘kopitiam’ is derived from the Malay word for coffee

(kopi), and the Hokkien Chinese word for shop (tiam). If you’ve been to Singapore or Malaysia, you might be familiar with this type of institution. The menu typically features simple offerings: a variety of foods based on eggs, toast, and kaya, plus coffee, tea, and Milo chocolate drink. The place is usually also kept as basic as possible.

But to keep up with the times, modern kopitiams are now getting a makeover. Nowadays it’s very common to find a kopitiam in the comfort of air conditioned shopping malls and the look of the restaurant has also gone modern, but the food is mostly still more the traditional, time-honored fare. Welcome to Kopitiam. This is a modern Indonesian restaurant chain using this old style concept. Kopitiam now have seven outlets in Jakarta and we recently visited their newest one at Central Park Mall which opened on December 1, 2011.

The restaurant has a modern, inviting décor. Light colored wood dominates the room, nicely accented by drawings of people dining al fresco. Check out the huge coffee bean decoration on the ceiling. A nice quirky touch.

Now onto the food. The specialty of any Kopitiam is the popular Kaya toast. It is a popular snack amongst Singaporeans and Malaysians. It consists of kaya, a spread of eggs, sugar, and coconut milk and flavored with pandan on freshly toasted bread. The addition of butter is a welcomed plus. It takes the simple toast to another level.

Go for the Kopitiam’s Traditional Kaya Toast Set (36k): A slice of kaya and butter toast, your choice of coffee or tea, two soft boiled eggs, and some fries. Some delicious variations are also available like the Banana Nutella Toast Set (36k) or the French Toast Set (42k).

Other noteworthy dishes here are the flavorsome Singapore Laksa (44k); the popular Peranakan spicy coconut-based noodle soup, the Mamak Mie Goreng (35k), and the Singapore Curry Chicken with Prata Bread (46k).

But for a more authentic experience, try the Kopitiam Rojak (24k) - is a traditional fruit and vegetable salad dish, the Fried Carrot Cake (36k) – which doesn’t actually have carrots in it, but stir fried radish cubes, with eggs, garlic, spring onion, and doused with sweet soy sauce, the Steamed or Fried Popiah (20k for 2 pieces) – a Peranakan version of lumpia, or the delicious Nasi Lemak with Fish (28k) or Chicken (35k).

These is all typical Singaporean/Malaysian fare, but there’s something familiar about it for our Indonesian taste buds. Should you want something more ‘local’, the Oxtail Fried Rice (58k) hits just the right spot.

As for the drinks, the wonderful black tea and condensed milk mix of Kopitiam Teh Tarik (21k) is always a firm choice, hot or cold. They also have plenty of coffee and tea drinks to savor, but the Iced Milo Dinosaur (22k) is a must try! The Lychee Ice Tea (25k) or Delight Juice (22k) – a blend of Pineapple, apple, and orange juices, are refreshing too.

Make sure you stop by Kopitiam for a neighbourly visit! (Budi Iskandar)

was in Kemang with a couple of friends and wondering where to have dinner. We decided on La Porchetta, a pizza joint in the La Codefin complex. Pizza has always

been our group’s favorite to eat and there’s nothing like sharing good pizza with your close pals.

It all started in Carlton, Victoria, Australia in the mid ‘80s. La Porchetta was the brainchild of ‘Rocky’, a businessman who had been immortalized as the restaurant’s mascot. The business grew big in Australia, and it is now the country’s

number one pizza chain. La Porchetta made its way to Indonesia a few years back, and we actually visited its newest outlet, opened on June 25, 2011.

This casual eatery has become a firm favorite over the years with its extensive, fresh pizza and pasta menu. The restaurant features a cozy interior with warm wood, comfortable seats, combined with fast and friendly service. La Porchetta also has a patio overlooking the ever active Kemang Street, and that’s where we sat down. Should you want a more intimate and cooler setting, there’s a fully air conditioned enclosed area for you. Actually, it is the only one available in all the restaurants at La Codefin.

We decided to start with the Mediterranean Salad (35k); a nice blend of mixed veggies, topped with some feta cheese and tangy vinaigrette dressing. The Chicken Wings (39k) were next on our table. The home made sweet and spicy sauce is full of flavor and complimented the crispy wings very well. It’s a definite must try!

Now, La Porchetta has about 20 different choices of pizzas, which comes in three sizes: regular (11 inches), large (13 in.), and family (15 in.). There’s something for everyone. And the attentive staff informed us that you can have half-and-half selections on your pizza pan. Good to know.

Since we were sharing the food, we ordered a couple of pizzas, starting with the regular sized half Meat Lovers and half Mushroom (79k). The Meat Lovers part comes packed with a tasty home made tomato sauce base, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, smoked beef, minced beef, and bacon pieces. While the Mushroom one is less complicated but still delectable; with the tomato sauce base, mozzarella, and freshly sliced button mushrooms.

We also ordered a regular sized Focaccia Ripiena Cheese (59k); a home made pizza layered with mozzarella, garlic, and olive oil. Simple, yet scrumptious.

The pasta choices are also extensive. A dish of Ravioli with Creamy Pesto (53k) also made its way to our table; mozzarella filled ravioli doused with a rich pesto sauce, pine nuts, fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, and topped with some grated parmesan. Delicioso!

The Lasagna (39k) rounded up our order. There’s just something special about this dish that seems to win everyone’s hearts.

La Porchetta’s pizzas and pastas are always fresh, made on the premises, every time. Another piece of information that we learned: many prestigious international concerts organized by top local promoters have used La Porchetta as their main catering company, especially for their foreign artists. That just speaks volumes about their top quality. La Porchetta also has a full on outside catering service, equipped with pizza/pasta maker. How about that for freshness!

Jakarta may have its share of pizzerias, but La Porchetta is already becoming a hands down favorite. We thoroughly enjoyed our picks, and there are still a lot of choices to try. Our next visit is already on the cards! (Budi Iskandar)

Young Money record’s golden boy beside Lil Wayne is Drake. Tons of hustle-minded, arrogant, and money-oriented lyrics are spat out by Drake in the

album, that’s what’s up. But the interesting part about it is that it’s not who he really is now. So the stories in this album are most likely young Drake’s mind set back in the days when he was on the way to success. I was about to put three stars, but this fact adds a reason to put another half star. Musically, it is produced with Young Money’s typical –crunchy, minimal soul, computer and loop beats, it’s maybe something that the serious hip hop listener won’t take seriously. Yet its definitely a chart climber and money maker... and that’s what Drake is all about.

Would you do what Tom Waits did when you’re sixty something? Seventeen albums, eccentric performances, and a bunch of crazy ideas under his

fendora hat? This album is somewhat like a mishmash of funk-fuled drum and kicks, piano, baritone sax, and spastic guitar stabs. The kind of album we want to hear, saying it’s ok to make mistakes and let’s celebrate that. Judge the album by its master. Tom Waits is the quintessential badass poet of our times.

Taking place in Russia’s capital, Moscow, five young people find themselves stranded amidst a sudden alien invasion. Together, though frustrated, they must fight to survive the devastating alien attack and find any hope of survival. The film might not be the best highlight for Emile Hirsch’s (Into the Wild) filmography, yet it will still bring you a thrilling atmosphere from start to finish alongside plausible special effects in 3D projection. Ensure your flashlight’s batteries won’t run out during The Darkest Hour in cinema!

Sean dan Ben yang berkunjung ke Moskow untuk urusan bisnis dan bertemu dengan dua gadis Amerika, Natalie dan Anne yang kebetulan sedang berlibur. Satu malam di saat mereka sedang berpesta di sebuah bar, fenomena aneh terjadi di langit Moskow saat butiran cahaya indah jatuh ke tanah. Yang mereka baru sadari adalah cahaya berjatuhan tersebut ternyata adalah invasi alien yang bisa membunuh orang menjadi abu dalam sekejap. Bingung dalam persembunyian mereka, para anak muda tersebut harus mencari kelemahan dari alien yang tidak terprediksi dan menemukan jawaban untuk bertahan hidup.

Dari jajaran para pemerannya, mungkin hanya Emile Hirsch yang pernah kamu ingat dari beberapa film peraih penghargaan seperti “Into the Wild” yang hampir seluruh film bercerita tentang dirinya seorang. Sutradara Chris Gorak juga belum mempunyai portfolio yang bisa dibanggakan kecuali saat dia menjadi art director di film “Fight Club”. Film yang bercerita tentang invasi alien atau kiamat dunia mungkin sudah banyak dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, walaupun begitu The Darkest Hour terbilang cukup menghibur dengan atmosfir tegang dalam adegannya sepanjang film dan efek visual yang bagus dibuat untuk 3D. Bawa sentermu yang paling terang untuk melawan para alien di malam-malam tergelap ini!

Berdasarkan kejadian nyata, 5 Days of War bercerita tentang jurnalis Amerika yang suka melanggar aturan, Thomas Anders (Rupert Friend, The Young Victoria) yang sedang meliput perang lima hari yang sengit antara Rusia dan Republik Georgia di 2008. Sebuah insiden menyebabkan Thomas, juru kameranya dan seorang wanita asal Georgia terjebak dalam baku tembak yang mengerikan

5 Days of War is mostly a drama story based on true events and centered on the swift but devastating five-day war between Russia and Georgia in 2008. The story centers around an American journalist, his cameraman, and a Georgian native who were caught behind enemy lines, and were determined to not only survive, but tell the world what was happening right in front of their eyes. It is a film every war and military fan would enjoy regarding its realistic portrayal of the battlefield. Make sure your bulletproof vest is put tightly on!

Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Animal, Gonzo... nostalgic enough to reminisce your childhood growing up with the Muppets? Absolutely! Walt Disney is producing its first feature film starring all the original characters you sang along with on TV and with Jason Segel (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and Amy Adams (Julie & Julia), it will surely get you in a cheerful mood and laugh like a kid. Can you see one (a puppet) like Miss Piggy being a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris? Well yes, the Muppets are back with style on your big screen!

Dalam liburan mereka ke Los Angeles, Walter yang adalah penggemar berat Muppet bersama kedua temannya Gary (Jason Segel, Forgetting Sarah Marshall) dan Mary (Amy Adams, Enchanted) tak sengaja mengetahui rencana jahat konglomerat minyak Tex Richman (Chris Cooper, The Company Men) yang ingin meruntuhkan Teater Muppet untuk menggali minyak di bawahnya. Untuk menyelamatkan Teater Muppet, Walter, Gary dan Mary harus membuat berhasil pertunjukan Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever dan menggalang dana 10 juta dolar. Masalahnya anggota the Muppets sudah berpencar dengan karir mereka masing-masing di berbagai tempat, dan Kermit bersama Walter, Gary dan Mary harus mengumpulkan mereka balik.

Kamu pasti sudah tidak asing lagi dengan para karakter boneka dari the Muppets dong? Pertunjukan boneka the Muppets sejak dibuat oleh Jim Henson di tahun 50-an telah sering muncul di berbagai media, dan dibeli oleh Walt Disney hingga muncul di acara Sesame Street juga. Film “The Muppets” ini merupakan film pertama tentang karakter originalnya yang diproduksi oleh Walt Disney ke layar lebar dan dipuji banyak kritikus film. Bagi para penggemarnya, dijamin kamu akan puas nostalgia dan tertawa dengan Fozzie yang sekarang bergabung dengan band bernama the Moopets, Animal yang direhabilitasi untuk mengatasi

temperamennya, Miss Piggy yang menjadi fashion editor di Vogue Paris, dan Gonzo yang menjadi pakar tukang ledeng. Satu yang tak lupa, ikutlah bernyanyi dengan the Muppets!

dan berada di teritori pasukan Rusia yang tak kenal ampun. Mereka pun bertekad tidak hanya untuk bertahan hidup, namun menangkap segala kejadian dan menceritakannya ke dunia. Di tengah-tengah pertempuran tak berhenti tersebut, ketiga orang ini menghadapi depresi dan terror antara hidup dan mati, namun mereka tetap menyelesaikan berita.

Disutradarai oleh Renny Harlin yang diakui untuk film-film genre action dan horror/thriller yang pernah dibuatnya seperti “Cliffhanger”, “Deep Blue Sea”, “Exorcist: The Beginning”, film ini cukup diharapkan akan menjadi bagus.

Sutradara Renny juga menggandeng Checco Varese, seorang juru kamera berita perang sebagai Kepala Fotografi dalam film ini untuk lebih menangkap sisi realistis dari adegan perang yang dia buat. Tidak banyak yang perlu kamu harapkan, namun 5 Days of War akan menjadi tontonan menarik bagi yang suka berita perang dan aksi militer yang tergambar realistis di film ini. Pastikan helm pengaman dan Kevlar anti peluru kamu sudah terpasang saat memasuki bioskop nonton 5 Days of War!

Fans of orange, rejoice! Pantone announced Tangerine Tango as the color of the year.

Tangerine Tango is described as a “spirited reddish orange” that resembles sunsets. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, says it’s also, “Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive. Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” Dramatic, energetic, seductive… No wonder it’s such a hot color for Spring 2012! And word says it will still be a favorite until Fall 2012.

Even if tangerine is your color and you can’t wait to tango with it, you shouldn’t come out in a total ray of sunset a.k.a. going head-to-toe. We recommend starting small, with a pair of shoes, a handbag, or a scarf. But we know some of you beauty-heads probably couldn’t care for this. But what if we tell you that Pantone will be partnering with Sephora to create a limited-edition beauty range inspired by this color of the year?

Rumour has it that Sephora and Pantone are collaborating to produce something exciting! When you talk about colors, who would be better than

Welcoming Tangerine Tango to 2012

Pantone, the renowned authority in colors that you can turn to? Each season, Pantone would come up with a colour forecasting chart that will lead the way for where the colors are heading in terms of fashion and beauty.

A Pantone-branded makeup line is something that we’re looking forward to. We could see the collaboration as soon as March 2012, just in time to bring in some new colours and investing in what’s actually in season. Expect something that is in line with the Pantone seasonal color guide from the collaboration, thus helping us not to worry whether we’re buying the correct color for the season. WWD reported that we can expect a majority of tangerine and orange in the first collection from the collaboration. The price? $18 to $80.

Is this a one-off collaboration? Well, let’s hope not and we hope that this first collaboration will be a huge success so that we can see many more in the future. Who better than Pantone can give you the exact favorite color that you want, right?

ApocAlypse 2012 MixtApe: DrAwing exhibition - MixtApe #1 lAunching

Mayan prophecy says the end of the world will be marked by strife and nuclear war in various religious teachings, all of which say we’re doomed to extinction. Just as daylight will be followed by night, the sound would be followed by the arrival of the evil nature of illness and must be offset by the good. Just how we deal with all these things to continue living according to what kind of life we want. Aware of these shocks to the 2012 prophecy that is now upon us, man is already doomed. Sweet messages, hatred, are all in this mixtape.Artist:Anis Wuku Wuk, Berry, Johan Ardhika, Ricky Malau, Tiffany, Ube, Nastasha Abigail, Sahal Abraham, Jarockbass, Sulaiman Said, The Popo and many more.Desember 29- Januari 11, 2012RURU Shop – ruangrupa, Jl. Tebet Timur Dalam no.6, Jakarta Selatan 12820

In a narrow sense, design is closely linked with consumption (objects), and therefore, with lifestyle. The production of modern consumer goods requires design that combines two contrasting elements: uniformity for mass production and a unique identity. In cities, the process of production and consumption experience high intensity, the amount of things

available is always maintained with a high levels of variety. Cities have become very competitive locations, frenzied in both the amount and the variety of “personalities” of objects consumed—a way of being busy that not only rules public spaces, but also begins to creep into private spaces through media and information technology. How are the arts practiced in such conditions? Can art practices still be useful in providing inspiration?Curator: Marco KusumawijayaArtists: Indieguerillas, Irwan Ahmett, Wiyoga MuhardantoJanuary 14-31, 2012Galeri Salihara, Jl.

“Spleen” is a kaleidoscope of pictures, songs and miniatures, inspired by Charles Baudelaire’s collection of poems in prose “Le Spleen de Paris”, which was published posthumously in 1869. Mankind on the threshold to modernity is described in the scenes played out between a thirst for life and longing for death, between a romantic search for infinity and a brutal triviality. The performers are on the stage with puppets and musical instruments, Baudelaire’s texts are spoken by children and recorded on tape. Monday, January 23, 2012 – 20.00 WIB. Gedung Kesenian Jakarta, Jl. Gedung Kesenian 1, Jakarta Pusat.

Beauty is in the eye of

all women want to look beautiful. But what exactly is the meaning of beauty? Through the perspective of contemporary artists, beauty is not just related to women’s bodies here but also the wider question of aesthetic beauty that is constantly interpreted by different

cultures on this earth and also through the use of goods, such as cosmetic bags.

‘Beauty Case,’ an art exhibition, features the work of 20 contemporary Indonesian artists. The cosmetic box is believed to have an intimate relationship with women and the arrival of those beauty cases also marked an era where women could look beautiful anywhere, a kind of beauty independence.

The artists are those who are directly involved and close to the world of fashion and lifestyle: Eko Bintang, Keke Tumbuan, Bunga Jeruk Permata Pekerti, Davy Linggar, and Dita Gambiro. The works look very contemporary, critical, also unique. The artwork of Difa Gambiro entitled ‘Guilty Pleasure: Pain Passes, Beauty Arises’ which uses wax cloth that still contains fine hairs which is then arranged into writing out ‘Pain Passes, Beauty Arises’. Bunga Jeruk Permata Pekerti’s artwork features a beautiful female statue titled ‘So Young, So Good’.

Eko Bintang showcased ‘Beauty is the Beast,’ in the form of a beautiful woman surrounded by so many men until some of them fall, which visualizes that the obsession with beauty itself can be very horrible. The struggle can be pretty grim, so that inner beauty is very important. Beauty itself does not always mean good, but goodness always means beauty.

The curator of this exhibition, Rifky Effendi, revealed the artists had inherited the spirit of avant-guardism against the current dominant culture that refuses the public opinion of “beautiful”. Rejection is done by a cynical, critical, and sarcasm, but is intriguing and thrilling. “Looking at the artist’s point of view about the meaning of beautiful. Beauty is cliché, just like love. Beauty can also bring problems, that’s their concern.”

Never Odd Or

eveN, NOpuN iNteNdedT he word that comes to mind when viewing “Never Odd or Even,” the

artwork of Susan Olij, is obviously ‘abstract’. The paintings made by Olij look very beautiful, we will never know the definitive results when ink is

scraped on paper, the texture of the paper will always carry the ink flow all over the paper, mixing two colors on paper will always bring us a new and exciting results to be seen.

Susan Olij is an Indonesia-born artist who works and is settled in Singapore. She left her career in the fashion industry in 2005 to become an artist and all her art education was abroad. It was both a natural and seamless transition and while she no longer works in fashion, Susan’s experiences have had an indelible impact on her artwork.

Drawing from the fashion world, Susan uses Chinese ink and batik dye on watercolour and rice paper to create abstract images which can also be used as cloth patterns for an eye-catching dress. The results obtained when the ink is poured on a paper can be seen on her works.

The interesting thing is the story behind this cleverly titled in palindrome exhibition, which is derived from two cultural backgrounds which she has, namely Chinese culture in Indonesia from her mother, and also a blend of Western influences on art and fashion from her father. Her patterns have a subtle elegance and a calming sense of peace, and their main strength is their simplicity. She primarily uses just two colors, natural brown and indigo.

LocationNestled in Seminyak, the W is a mere stone throws away from all the best shops, restaurants, and nightclubs in the area. The resort is right in front of the beach giving guests a spectacular view of the Indian Ocean which yields spectacular sunsets.

LookThe W immediately grabs your attention with its cutting edge design features; the wet deck (pool) area is a multilevel body of water in an irregular shape which was influenced by rice terraces. The rooms have sliding panels that can alter the rooms based on the concept of conceal and reveal. The colors were inspired by Balinese temples and the bed covers resemble a lotus pond.

AtmosphereWalking into the W, you can’t help but notice a very young and dare I say, “hip,” aura surrounding the place. The design is just so well thought out with clever little touches everywhere. Indeed, the folks who create the place paid very close

attention to detail with humorous little bits thrown in. FeaturesEach room at the W comes with an LED flat screen with audio and video inputs so that you can throw in any media you like. The Bose sound system can be turned all the way up because each room is individually soundproofed. They also have an excellent line of toiletries under the “Bliss” name. When you factor in four bars, two restaurants, a gym, and a spa, the W is a great place to party or relax. PriceRooms start at USD 300++

Roberto and Elena were two of the five winners of the Transformation Vol 1 Cocoon CD, complied and mixed by DJ Tony Montana in a competition in the last edition of TB. Here they are pictured in the beat office picking up their grooved out prize.

Dust off your kicks and bring out those silks because January comes with a very Kung-Fuesque twist. Yes. This year’s USB (Urban Sunset Breeze) celebrates the Chinese New Year in true ‘Gong xi’ fashion. Rooftop Dine & Lounge is responsible for this little soiree and aims to bring the Chinatown feel to Bali with RnB packed Mandarin beats, live performance by DJ Renny, flair dancers and skilled bartenders. Come and enjoy this festive time from 5pm to 10pm on the Rooftop of the 101 Legian.

It’s a real shame that many kind of tigers are almost extinct in their natural areas because of habitat loss. But it’s totally different in Bali Zoo. Tiger populations there keep growing with an additional 2-3 cute tiger cubs born almost every year. Two months ago, tiger couples Kartini and Buntung had two cubs that are the sixth births from their coupling. The new cubs are both males named Joy and Roy. With the development of the tiger family that keeps growing, Bali Zoo is currently in a project of the cage development to Kartini and Buntung’s larger family that now consists of 12 members. Those two additional tigers were a nice gift for Bali Zoo which just celebrated its 9th anniversary.

Although the Bali of today boasts almost any sort of food you could want, French cuisine is sadly underrepresented. Perhaps

people are worried that a fine French restaurant might be too stuffy, too formal, or too expensive. Daniel’s, a recent addition to the island’s bustling “Eat Street” on Jalan Oberoi, is none of those things. It is, however, firmly French and absolutely delicious.

Daniel’s presents an airy contemporary take on a traditional brasserie. There are mirrors, brass railings and long dark leather sofas, but the feel is fresh and light, with high ceilings and a modern color scheme. Black and white photos adorn the walls, and when we arrive, some nice jazzy tunes set the mood up just right for the surprisingly busy Tuesday night crowd.

The resto’s original focus was on a prix fixe set menu as the only option. Since then, plenty of other dishes have been added, allowing diners to mix and match. After a quick drink at the well-stocked bar, we move into a few appetizers. A tomato tart is unassuming enough on the menu, but pretty amazing in reality, with fluffy pastry and a creamy basil emulsion that gives it just the right amount of, well, tartness. The Chicken Liver Mousse (40k) is creamy and rich, perfectly balanced, served with nice sour pickles and crisp baguette slices, while the Vol au Vent Escargot (45k) is a bit of a different take on the traditional dish, with the famously delicious garlic butter sauce matched up perfectly with some light pastry. We wash things down with glasses of red wine and are satisfied and ready for more.

Our mains arrive hot from the grill. The restaurant’s signature entrecote rib eye steak (200gr/90k, 400gr/190k) is cooked to perfection, charbroiled but buttery, with some crispy fries and a beautiful creamy mustard sauce. The Chef’s Burger (90k) turns out to be one of the best things on the menu, made from thick minced Australian steak, perfectly balanced with crisp lettuce and sauce on a fresh bun. Daniel’s also offers Spare Ribs (95k), which are tender and juicy in a smoky barbecue sauce, and grilled Chicken Skewers with Tarragon (100gr/50k, 200gr/100k).

Although I’m stuffed, I can’t pass up a plate of Profiterolles au Chocolat (45k) for dessert. Rich, thick, cocoa-y chocolate sauce is layered

on tender pastry, filled with cold and creamy vanilla ice cream, making for quite a finish. My friends go for a Crème Brulee (45k), which is perfectly caramelized, with cool smooth custard underneath and a refreshingly creamy Lemon Tart with Strawberry Coulis (35k). We round things out with some shots of sambuca, with coffee beans thrown in for good measure.

Establishing a place on Oberoi is no mean feat for a new restaurant, but Daniel’s more than delivers the goods, and judging by the satisfied looks on the faces of the packed crowd, we weren’t the only ones impressed. A definite winner. [Kalmar]

So many events were held in the last days of the year,

however one of the special ones was Jerome Isma-ae’s performance at The Stones. Even though it was raining, many party heads, mostly tourists from Jakarta, still made it to the show. Jerome played at 1am and people filled the dance floor. Some girls even let loose some funky moves on top of the speaker boxes. Very cool.

show started at 5.30pm and a long queue of the people were lined up early on the first evening. The warm weather, sunny sunset and Jim Larkin’s lovely voice made the atmosphere really soulful. It was a beautiful musical sunset session at Rock Bar.

mint grand opening christian smith

Mint’s Grand Opening featuring Christian Smith was so packed. There was a massive line of people waiting to

get in and inside it was a sea of humanity. The night began with DJ Mamsa dropping his best, then after 1am Christian Smith took over the decks. He got into the groove quickly remixing some old classic tunes and bringing in the new. The full house really got into the music all night long.
