The Jakarta restaurant Shanghai Blue 1920 takes old-school romantics back to a livelier, jazzier time – back to the days of the original Shanghai Tea House, a warung-turned-full-scale-restaurant. With jazz music courtesy of the Shanghai Jazz Band and Nita Aartsen Project, Shanghai Blue 1920 harks back to its storied predecessor on Sunda Kelapa, a bustling tea house and restaurant run by a Shanghainese immigrant and his Indonesian wife. The Blue Valentine special will be served on February 14: lovers who attend My Blue Valentine will enjoy a four-course dinner and a glass of sparkling wine, for IDR 498,000 (US$53) per couple.

So this puts me in a bind when I write restaurant reviews: do I say that a certain serving size is adequate, when it’s enough for a meal plus takeout for the locals? I still haven’t really decided. In any case, my latest restaurant review for …
