There are many excellent restuarants in Jakarta but you have to look hard to find them. Best to use up to date magazines (some available in hotel) to find good places.

There are lots of nice local foods around, from light to heavy meal, however, you must ask your friend to help as the location is not around the hotel vicinity. Places like Kelapa Gading area, Mangga dua are one of the places where you can find both good shopping deal and nice food.
Jakarta is not an easy place to walk around like in Bangkok, so buy a map before you travel and know where you want to go if you are travelling on free and easy, unless you have friends. As for transportation, always use blue bird taxi as it is safer for foreigners. Always check if the meter is on. Please prepare small notes for taxi as they don't give you small change like in Singapore.
The Spas is good and cheap, much cheaper than in Singapore, it is a good try.

Traffic jam in Jakarta is getting worse, so I would recommend to have a certain allowance of time for appointment or any other moving especially in the morning/evening rush hours.

Jakarta is a difficult city to get around in. The best option is to get a Silverbird taxi from the hotel and have him standby while to are shopping, eating, or in meetings. This practise is costlier than it use to be but is still the best way to get things done in the city. Plan your travels to avoid heading the same direction as rush-hour traffic.
The best restaurants include Stix, Riva, Hazarra, Porta Venicia, Batavia Cafe, and Paprika. All very good. There are also now a few Starbucks in the city. Batavia Cafe is also a great place to visit from a historical perspective.
