Night view of Plaza Indonesia at Jakarta Selatan

Posted by Picasa

I took this picture on my way to Plaza Indonesia or 'PI' as the locals calls it. This mall is not just any mall. It is the most prestigious mall in the whole of Indonesia. Everyone knows that only the elites comes here. It would be ranked an A+. Everyone comes with their own vehicles, families or the adults usually use their chauffer (thus the 'chauffer-station', or you can see them resting in the cars, windows out, seat down and chatting with another vehicle) as youngsters usually drive themselves.

Great parking space, valet parking services and high security is the reason why many lux cars are here. Plaza Indonesia is actually connected to the Grand Hyatt. Kinda reminds me of Melbourne.
Plaza Indonesia features boutiques like Prada, Louis Vuitton, Chanel and many many more. It is not at all
crowded. Chances of bumping into celebrities are very high.

Just last year, PI build another wing beside it catered for the younger and more hip generation. It is called The EX and it has the modern structure with white and orange as the theme. Famous for it's world class cinema, with great seats so big it can fit 2. To me, i find this mall mediocre as it lacks depth and shops. It stands at Class A and should actually deserve a B if it wasn't for it's elite location and breath-of-fresh-air-ness. On weekends, live bands would be playing at the atria.

Wondering where the mini skirts and boho-chic had gone to in Jakarta? Here...
