“The menu will consist of a variety of Indonesian dishes not just specific ones authentic to Jakarta,” said Beddy. “Some of the items on the menu will be Soto Betawi (Jakarta style beef soup with spicy coconut milk broth), Sate, Bakso (Indonesian meatball soup), ayam goreng (fried chicken) and ayam bakar (grilled chicken). I would recommend trying the Bakmi Jakarta, a noodle dish with clear broth. You can get it with the option of chicken and mushroom or the special Bakmie which is served with pork,” added Wawar, who was formerly a sushi chef and is now working for his brother-in-law Beddy.
The interior of D’Jakarta is decorated with a drawing of Jakarta’s landmark locations such as Monas, the National Monument, and historic train station, Stasiun Kota. A few photographs of Jakarta and other parts of Indonesia such as the infamous temples in Bali and Yogyakarta, can immediately get your attention when you walk-in from the Ritner St. entrance.
“Our mission is not only to introduce Indonesia through our delicious food but also through the story and arts. As you can see from our décor here,” said Beddy.
“Our hours will be Tuesday to Friday from 11 AM to 8 PM, Saturdays from 11 AM to 9PM, Sundays from 10 AM to 8 PM and closed on Mondays. But this coming Monday, everyone is welcome to our soft opening on July 31st from 11 AM until 8PM.”
Café D’Jakarta offers 30 seating and is a BYOB spot. Currently the method of payment will be cash only but credit card payment is in the works. Address for the café is at 1540 W Ritner Street. As far as how great the food is, “You will have to come and try,” said Wawar. (Sinta Penyami Storms. mutiariasinta@gmail.com)

I think that what you said was actually very logical.
However, consider this, what if you added a little information? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added a post title that makes
people want more? I mean D’Jakarta Cafe Open It’
s Door in Philadelphia – indonesianlantern.com is a little vanilla.
You might peek at Yahoo's home page and note how they create news headlines to get people to click.
You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab people interested about what you've got to say.
In my opinion, it could bring your website a little bit more interesting.
It's hard to come by well-informed people about this topic, but you seem like you know what you're talking about!
Thanks
