 At
the OASIS we make you feel welcome. Our Doorman will escort
you to the lamplit Entrance Hall, where you will be spellbound
by the richness of color around you and the music of a Sundanese
gamelan.
Our Maitre d’ will greet you and accompany you across
the broad sweep of the Kalimantan Room to your dining table,
or to the privacy of one of the Raja Rooms, or-as you wish-to
the exotic atmosphere of the Topeng Bar, richly arrayed with
dance masks of Indonesia and graced with paintings by the
distinguished Indonesian artist, Hendra. Feel the ambience
of the OASIS drawing you back in time - back to the era of
the Great Plantations in Asia.
The OASIS RESTAURANT is housed in a grand two-storey mansion
built in 1928
 as
the private residence in the Dutch East Indies of the millionaire,
F.Brandenburg van Oltsende; the owner of extensive tea, rubber
and cinchona estates. Great teakwood beams span the ceilings
of the room, high above a sweeping checkerboard of gleaming
white and black tiles. The strong colors are softened by incandescent
wall lamps and the flood of light from magnificent crystal
chandeliers, and by an enormous backlit, stained-glass window
designed by the Dutch artist Robert Deppe. It depicts the
Dutch humanist, Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam (1466 - 1536),
astride a horse, and the family coat of arms. With such opulence
it is not surprising that the mansion
was chosen by the last Governor General of the Dutch East
Indies as his unofficial residence during World War II. The residence, with its beautiful garden, provided
a glamorous setting for the annual Marine Ball. In 1970 the
mansion gained a new lease of life as one of the finest restaurants
in Indonesia : the OASIS RESTAURANT. We would be honored to
have you dine with us.
