03. MAMA SAN KITCHEN BAR LOUNGE
The dream of Will Meyrick the brainchild
behind Mama San was to create an
environment where people could feel
comfortable to eat, try their hand at
cooking or just lounge in a bar. Basical-
ly, not needing to leave the space until
home time, whatever that time is.
Mama San is for anyone who appreci-
ates to lounge in style and eat quality
02
food without it being too expensive.
Mama San known to be the madam
of authority in an Asian gentlemen’s
club, the name Mama San was select-
ed because of the old and new world
influence of the interior and Asian cui-
sine.. The team wanted to create a
unique space to complement the sister
restaurant Sarong rather than be in com-
petition with it.
This restaurant is very popular with the
expats and tourists alike.

prices increased by 44 percent, from 4,500 ru-
piah, or 45 cents, a liter, or 0.26 gallon, to 6,500
rupiah to help close a widening budget defi-
cit. The revised budget also includes around
9 trillion rupiah for a cash compensation pro-
gram for poor Indonesian families to cushion
the blow from the subsidy decision and a re-
sulting increase in inflation, as was done when
