It is almost impossible not to find your jaw drop when stepping into InterContinental Jakarta Pondok Indah’s The Lounge. The Lounge radiates grandeur while maintaining an intimate feel at the same time. The first thing to grab your attention is the massive golden statue welcoming you to The Lounge, while the vibrant shades of the carpet make it look like a work of art, and it actually matches the painting behind the bar.
A mesmerising sight to behold, The Lounge has become a favourite meeting point, as well as an all-day leisure destination for the city’s metropolitans. Serving scrumptious breakfast and lunch to creative cocktails, the place is also known for its enchanting afternoon tea offer. If you have checked out our Innovative Bars section, you know that InterContinental Jakarta Pondok Indah has been creating style-inspired F&B experiences to welcome this year’s Jakarta Fashion Week – these festivities continue to the sweet section as well.
Led by Executive Chef Attila Körmöczi and famed Pastry Chef Kim Pangestu, the kitchen team has come up with magnificent fashion-themed afternoon tea offerings. A fabulous handbag-shaped tiered cake stand replaces the regular one. Look closer and you will find a seductive red pump shoe made out of chocolate filled with fresh berries and chocolate truffles, and more cakes in the shapes of a tiny handbag, cosmetic bottle, and more, all in incredible detail.
The sweet and savoury bites are not only easy on the eyes, but also on the palate. The culinary team successfully creates unique flavours that are not only memorable on their own, but also work really well together. If you can find black forest cake in the form of a cocktail at the bar, you will find Indonesian’s favourite drink – avocado juice with chocolate and coffee – in the form of cake here. The lapis legit and foie gras combo is also ground-breaking.
