Meanwhile, a unique Royal Sunday Brunch took over Spectrum, with The Savoy chefs teaming up with Fairmont Jakarta's team to present a special British menu, including hot smoked trout with horseradish, “The Savoy” Prawn and Brown Shrimp Cocktail, various selections of fish and chips, and buttermilk pancakes.
