Get down with the genius of the late great J. Dilla (Saturday night)

https://www.facebook.com/jakartamysteryguide/posts/2010509112538516

James Dewitt Yancey aka J Dilla is one of the most legendary hip-hop producers ever. Before he was taken too young in 2006, he remade the game when it came to beats and helped acts like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu and The Roots create some of their most iconic tracks. This celebration of J Dilla’s genius by the good folks from Globetrotter and Goodnws (who always know how to throw a good party) at Ecology in Kemang will definitely be of interest to anybody to all true beat lovers.

Black truffles are among the most luxurious of gourmet ingredients and the prime season for these dark diamonds of ethereal fungal flavor is fading, fast. Gaia, one of Jakarta’s finest Italian restaurants (and highest, located on the 46h floor Altitude complex in the Plaza) is featuring a special black truffle dinner menu this Saturday featuring dishes such as truffle cauliflower cream with scallops and poached egg and ravioli al foie gras in truffle sage sauce. While the food sounds mouthwatering the price is an eye-watering Rp 1.5 million (but hey, YOLO ya?). There will also be a black truffle brunch on Sunday.
