Chinese food restaurants are commonly found in Jakarta. One of the more popular ones is Central. The restaurant has many branches all over Jakarta, but this time, we went to the one in Tomang area to celebrate W’s birthday. 
I remember I went to this place sometimes with family, although personally I’m not really a fan of Chinese food because of the weird feeling afterwards. Last time I went there, it wasn’t that “full”, if that’s what I can describe about the layout and setting of the tables. Like typical Chinese restaurants, they use round table sets with seats covered with sheets. But I just think that the setting wasn’t too good because clearly there is almost no space among the seats. Let’s say, for a round table like our table, they put 10-11 seats to fit in, and it was stupid. Well, I can just say there was barely space among seats, or even tables. It was ridiculous that I felt they’re trying to fit as much seats as they can despite of the not-so-big area space.
Anyway. 
I have to say that although I really don’t like the layout and setting of the room, I still like their food because they are very, very delicious. As someone who doesn’t really fancy Chinese food, I always enjoy eating there because they don’t give me the icky feeling like I usually get. But again, maybe it’s just me.
