JAKARTA (JP): Movie actress Rima Melati has joined the growing
\ntrend of artist restaurateurs by opening Colours, the new cafe in
\nthe basement of Menara Thamrin (Thamrin Tower) on Jl. MH Thamrin
\nin Central Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Jakartans will recognize the place, formerly known as Pete's
\nTavern Pub, which operated from 1984.<\/p>\n
\"We changed the name and layout of the building to attract
\nyoung people to visit our restaurant.<\/p>\n
\"Cafe sounds modern and it will become popular among young
\npeople,\" Supardi Boekan, the general manager of Indonesia Service
\nOrganization (ISO), said while addressing the soft opening of the
\ncafe on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The cafe, open Monday to Saturday from noon until midnight,
\noffers live music by local musicians and various kinds of food,
\nincluding gourmet cuisine, said Soepardi.<\/p>\n
He declined to divulge the investment total of the new cafe.
\n\"We only spent money on the cafe's layout, including the brick
\nornaments on the wall,\" he said, adding that ISO, a holding
\ncompany which operates six pubs and cafes in Jakarta and Bali,
\nwould make no commitments to open other cafes in the near future
\ndue to economic hardships.<\/p>\n
ISO is owned by Rima Melati, a veteran female artist who
\nstarred in films such as Salah Asuhan (Wrong Education, 1961) and
\nKasih Tak Sampai (Star-Crossed Lovers, 1973). Rima, who has
\nrecently done some sinetron (television drama) projects, is
