The <strong>Jakarta</strong> Best Bar<br />
and Restaurant Awards<br />
were initiated by <strong>NOW</strong>!<br />
<strong>Jakarta</strong> publisher<br />
Alistair Speirs 16 years<br />
ago in a bid to increase<br />
competition between<br />
restaurants and bars<br />
and thereby quality<br />
in the same way that<br />
the highly acclaimed<br />
Michelin Guide Ratings<br />
are highly sought after.<br />
However recognising that<br />
Indonesia is not yet ready to<br />
be critically examined and<br />
that the level of objective<br />
expertise is still somewhat<br />
lacking from a judging<br />
perspective, <strong>NOW</strong>! <strong>Jakarta</strong><br />
returns to the most objective<br />
judge of all – the public!<br />
The results of <strong>NOW</strong>!<br />
<strong>Jakarta</strong>’s Best Bar &<br />
Restaurant Awards are made<br />
based solely on readers and<br />
diners votes. With active<br />
participation by hotels and<br />
independent restaurants to<br />
get their diners to vote, as<br />
well as through our website,<br />
what’snewjakarta.com, and<br />
email databases, the votes<br />
came in their hundreds!<br />
With over 2100 votes in<br />
and eligible (which means<br />
that the voter had to fill in<br />
all categories not just vote<br />
for the restaurants they<br />
know well) this is a seriously<br />
credible result. While<br />
perhaps not reflecting “the<br />
best” restaurants and bars<br />
form a technical/expertise<br />
perspective, this is certainly<br />
a good valuation of “the<br />
favourites”.<br />
The Awards were<br />
presented in a lavish evening<br />
of fun and entertainment at<br />
Liquid Exchange, supported<br />
by Hatten Wines, Anker<br />
Beer, and a host of sponsors.<br />
The evening was attended<br />
by the crème de la crème<br />
of Indonesian restaurant,<br />
hotels, bars, clubs hospitality<br />
industry.<br />
Next month we will bring<br />
you full details of all the<br />
winners and nominees.<br />
Well done everyone!<br />

A woman’s beauty has been paid tribute to since<br />
the beginning of humankind. Watchmaker Tudor’s<br />
interpretation of femininity is its Tudor Clair De<br />
Rose, its new line of feminine watches for 2011.<br />
Inspired by a world of reverie and moonlit nights, the<br />
timepiece is a nod to its emblematic predecessor,<br />
the Tudor Heritage Advisor model. The seconds<br />
hand of the watch, normally the least conspicuous,<br />
is in fact the focal point of the Clair De Rose as it<br />
is in the shape of a cut-out Tudor rose: the brand’s<br />
logo in the 1950s. The crown is emblazoned with an<br />
identical Tudor rose encased in a transparent glass<br />
dome. The dreamy cloud scroll motif of the motherof-pearl<br />
watch face evokes the ephemeral nature of<br />
dreams, and the opulent yet sophisticated pattern is<br />
echoed on the vintage stainless steel watch strap.<br />
As a whole the watch perpetuates softness, charm<br />
and refined vigour.<br />
The triple fitting attaching the bracelet to<br />
the case adds a mechanical aspect so that the<br />
timepiece evokes the delicacy of femininity in terms<br />
of aesthetics and tenacity in terms of its durability.<br />
Available in three sizes (26mm, 30mm, or 34mm),<br />
cases come in steel or steel with 18 carat pink-gold.
