Hooters, Kemang, Jakarta, Indonesia

Hooters has come to Jakarta! Really, this is one of the boldest moves in the restaurant industry in Indonesia, which is home to the biggest Islamic population in the world. The American restaurant chain serves food (chicken wings!) and drinks in a sports bar setting, with a slight twist – your meals are served by Hooters Girls – ladies in skimpy-tight outfits which leave little to the imagination. Their mascot is an owl (“hooter”) and the double-O’s may represent something else entirely…

How does it feel to dine with such unusual concept here in Jakarta? Let’s take a look!

Happy Halloween, everyone! Christmas is coming up soon, and Santa Claus will be coming to town again. For me, Christmas came early this year: American pizzas are making their way to Australia! In fact, they’ve been here already ever since Costco opened their business here in Sydney. And just last week, Little Caesars Pizza followed suit by opening their first branch Down Under in Casula.
