I recently discovered LapisLapis Sunter (multi-layers in Bahasa) located in the North of Jakarta (Jakarta Utara), near Kelapa Gading. Let´s face it, Sunter is not a regular place to hang out for expats or food lovers, but if you happen to be in this area to grab a coffee or for lunch, I strongly recommand LapisLapis Sunter.
I got hooked up by a nice modern wooden facade which reminds me a cozy coffee place in Jakarta Selatan. When I got into the place, I did not even know if it was a restaurant or not since it is not mentioned on the front facade.
LapisLapis is originally a cake shop and it also happens to have seats to dine-in. So I tried the best selling item of the house, the "Lapis original" and it tasted very good, not too sweet and with a tender texture. The "Lapis cheese" looked also very tasty and had quite success also.
You can imagine that since it is a Cake shop the food would not be good here... Well this is not the case! I had a delicious Caesar's Salad, I was quite impressed ! And the Honey BBQ Chicken tasted very good. The whole food Menu is half Western half Asian, which let you a pretty fair choice.
Overall: I recommand the place either for a casual Lunch or for a coffee break.
In the Kelapa Gading area, you can see also see my review of Manon Patissier Chocolatier.
