Another birthday dinner... But it's not mine, it's HD tonight! Happy Birthday to you~ ♪
So we had HD's birthday dinner with the group again at 1945. You must be thinking why the restaurant is called 1945?
1945 is an Indonesian Restaurant, particularly stepping back to the time when Indonesia was under the colonisation of Dutch. Also, year 1945 refers to the year Indonesia declared independence (according to an Indonesian friend of mine). One special thing about 1945 (the restaurant) is that it shows the Dutch East Indies tradition of rijsttafel (rice table, literally translated from a Dutch word), where many side dishes are served in small portions, accompanied with rice, in several different ways; and in 1945, it is served in a REALLY BIG plate.

It took us ages to decide what to order because there are many choices of mains, condiments, street food and etc listed in the menu. There are also set menus which is served individually in a BIG plate.
