This restaurant usually used to hold meetings, have a lunch or dinner, and also a place for pre-wedding photo section. This is because the interior is very beautiful, luxurious, photo-taking materials quality inside and outside.

About the foods in Bunga Rampai, they have a lot of menu of Indonesian cuisine. As I said before, this resto is fine-dining resto, therefore may be the prices are quite high and not everyone fit on this price. When I tried the food, it is really delicious. And beside the food, they also have nice ambiance and service. So, do not hesitate to come and try out this restaurant. You will never regret it. :)
