Over 10 juta per whole rib is what the resto brings in. Fact it is being served with bone on says they are buying what is called OP109 rib which is a far cry less in price than the OP112 rib that would be without the bone and the norm for US prime rib restos. I would also question the amount of lip on the rib being that the longer the lip, the less in price it is. Evidently, since there is little value in the price of the rib meals, you must be paying for the opportunity to tell others, oh, I ate at Lawry's. I'll pass and just cook up my own.

The rib is free, you just pay the bone.

 

[pantaiema]

Pantaiema you keep trying to chime in with weird opinions on things that you upfront state that you dont have any knowledge on. You then try to google and copy and paste a load of semi relevant links to prove a point. Why bother?

Im beginining to think you are actually an AI bot designed just to argue irrelevant stuff.

I now have more spare time to respond to this inquiry.

No one is knowledgeable about everything. You cannot observe, witness everything by yourself, so people rely on authoritative sources, reputable sources. When someone shares a link, quotation from a credible source, such as news, articles or excerpts from laws and regulations, the information is likely to be true until proven otherwise. Information from reputable sources, including news articles, never mind the quotation from the law/regulation are far more reliable than content from a random people on the internet, especially if that person is known for spreading misleading information in the past.

This forum is open and accessible to both members and non-members. People often seek advice or information in discussion forums to make informed decisions. Correcting misinformation is crucial to ensure the accuracy of the information presented. Accuracy is vital for users to make decisions aligned with the facts. Incorrect information, if left uncorrected, can spread and propagated. Also, people will be more careful when posting crucial information.

This is just a few recent examples of misleading information from the same person. There are still others if you search it.

Classic reply lol

Exactly, a classical reply for someone who is using his rational. Only the naive would post unnecessary personal information, especially when they have no control over the post once it's published. Sharing additional unnecessary details about oneself can increase the likelihood of easy identification in the future.

So I guess you don't have a F.B., Twitter or Instagram account ?

Disclaimer : I don't havy any of those but simply because I don't see the point of handing over my life to META, Google or Musk.

But I am not paranoïd about somebody knowing who I am. You will always have idiots trying to distort the truth anyway.

Ok so 100rb x 12 is what? 1.2 jt? Same as the free bonus offered

10% + 10% is 21% right? 100 x 10% is 110. Now 10% of 110 is 11. So that's 121. That's 21%

And an ex WNI wanting to become WNI again?
That's a small niche! Hardly even thousands a year?

You couldn't have picked worse 3 examples of my "misleading" information
Those literally are FACTS !!

Wow

Jeez Louise. Update your AI software to English not Singlish lah

Over 10 juta per whole rib is what the resto brings in.

That is about the price of a 1 year old (limousine) cow. But then...what are you going to do with a whole cow?

I'll pass and just cook up my own.

Maybe this.

The discussion forum is available for everyone, including both members and non-members. Individuals frequently turn to forums for information and guidance, aiming to make well-informed choices relying on accurate and truthful information.
So, If there is inaccurate and misleading information, it should be corrected.

Ok so 100rb x 12 is what? 1.2 jt? Same as the free bonus offered

Rp100k x 12 = Rp 1.2jt, which is just a simple math. However, you are misleading people by stating there is a monthly fee of Rp.100k where, in fact, there is no fee. This was also confirmed by the person who initially asked the question. Here is the original discussion

How do you guys invest?

Dont forget the monthly 100rb admin account service charge Oh look, 12 x 100rb is ??? lol Please share with us where you found that information regarding a 100,000 IDR monthly service charge. On the website of SEA bank, it is written that there is no admin fee.

"Please share with us where you found that information regarding a 100,000 IDR monthly service charge. On the website of SEA bank, it is written that there is no admin fee."

Not right.
10% + 10% = 20% (not 21%). But everyone could easily see that this is a typo.
But what is misleading here is that you state the tax rate is 21% (refer to the image in post #104), where in fact, the tax for PHR (or PB1) is only 10%. The other elements are not the tax, and the percentage is not fixed at 11%, but it varies. Refer to post #57 in this thread, where an excerpt from the regulation is provided.

And an ex WNI wanting to become WNI again?
That's a small niche! Hardly even thousands a year?

The initial thread is located here.

Visa Options for ex-WNI (Vitas, Kitas, Kitap)

I figure I'll put this here. But in the last week or so, I finally had my Kitap issued. And yesterday, it was the turn of my KTP-OA to be issued so I can now officially get off the Annual Immigration Stress Bandwagon. Just want to say thank you for this forum, in particular this thread for...

www.expatindo.org

Please check post #56 and #58. It involves more than just a niche market; you are also providing misleading information by stating that former Indonesians with foreign citizenship need to reclaim nationality and become WNI again.

You couldn't have picked worse 3 examples of my "misleading" information

Wow

Four examples, not three, were provided. These are just the recent ones.
FACTS ?? I'll let those with the capacity to make informed judgments decide.
Typically, individuals without a university degree may not have received a thorough assessment of their analytical and advanced cognitive abilities. Consequently, this deficiency is evident in their decision-making and poor judgment.

Hmmm, I was wondering about these taxes. A restaurant, like Solaria, doesn't calculate tax. Same with Bakmi GM and Es Teler. None of them are small warungs operating in almost all malls in Jakarta. Value for money. Therefore always crowded.

I just assumed they simply list the price inclusive of tax, for simplicity. Curious if that is not actually the case.

 

[Samoerai]

You would be surprised. In the Mulia Hotel (restaurant The Cafe) it was packed on the two times I was there this month. Same at the restaurant Grand Melia a month ago. At JW Marriot (Sailendra) luckely not crowded and only adults last Thursday, no kids running around like in The Mulia.

I expect on New Years Eve it will be packed at all hotels in Jakarta. We booked a table at Cascade Lounge with Buffet Dinner and live performance Marion Jola.

So yeah, there is a substantial number of residents in Jakarta who can afford buffet lunches and dinners in 5 star hotels. Would that be the upper class, avoiding the malls where the middle class have there lunches and dinner?

Indeed, packed at Mulia hotel on New Years Eve. I was a bit dissapointed with the performance of Marion Jola and her band, though. It lacks entertainment and interaction with the guests. A singer + band nowadays is not enough. People want an "experience", like a dance show. Management of Mulia should made my wife head of entertainment.

 

[Banana72]

I think they all do prime rib? I guess somewhere like C's Grand Hyatt because that's usually a steak place anyway?

Will check them out...but lady-of-the-house found a BOGO deal on Borobudur 'brunch last week' and pleasantly surprise to see they served roast beef/lamb and pretty much the whole offering is better I think than previous 2-3 years. Roast beef was a tad dry and not as fatty as I'd like it to be, but I think as we ended up paying about slightly less than 300K per person...I can't complain.

Saw your post about Lawry's too yeah I looked originally at the one in Singapore....makes the price in Indonesia seems 'cheaper'!

 

[MamangDudul]

Some looks ok in medium priced places. Rijstafel usually is well presented. But most looks horrible to me. And that's without the smell....

Lived / visited all over Asia, sampled a bit the food everywhere and that's it.

My companion cooks French very well now, and likes 80% of it.

Usually lunch is for me something easy, for her Indo food.
Evening is always French for both of us.

I used to have a food thread on here sometime ago if you want samples.

Fair enough. To each their own and thanks for your answer.

I know your food thread, you always posted a lot of good stuff there.

I missed this entire brunch tangent while I was home for christmas - an amusing catchup.
I have done plenty of Sunday brunches in my 8 years in Jakarta, they were nearly all including free-flow drinks and usually more than 1 juta a-head (Mandarin Orient/ Fairmont/ mulia type hotels). I hadnt done one since before covid until I recently went back to the Mulia (Orient 8) and had a lovely pre christmas brunch for slightly less than 1 juta (so price dropped since covid happened). The place was jammed full of rich-looking indonesians and some foreigners. I know it's a lot of money to spend for a regular indonesian person but I personally think its worth every penny - 3+ hours of all you can drink/ eat, cocktails/ bubbles with your mates on a sunday, beats going to church!
