Personally, I am a sensitive diner for which restaurant design does influence my judgment.
And, 22 Sky Lounge gives the relaxing ambience and wide ranges of dishes.
This is my kind of place.
This minimalistic bar-cum-restaurant is more social than “serene place”.
There are long diner tables for at least 20 people; bright-smiled stewards that always initiate conversation with guests; and live music for you jazz afficionados.
Being belly-led, however, I was easily distracted.
22 Sky Longue serves thoughtful, Indonesian-Western food fusion menu.
My lunch began with a new version of pepes ikan (grilled carp with banana leaf), complete with red rice, melinjo crackers, and spicy sambal.
It ended with chili slices and lettuce to make it more visually appealing.
I was bemused by the fact that the classic pepes is a kind of the signature of Santika Premiere, according to one of the stewards.
