Entertainment X'nter
The Entertainment X'nter (also known as e'X, Plaza e'X, or Plaza Indonesia e'X) is a shopping mall located in Menteng, Central Jakarta directly beside the Japanese Embassy.
The mall becomes one of the most upscale malls in Jakarta when it opened in mid-2004. Unlike its predecessor Plaza Indonesia, e'X caters to a younger demographic of teenagers and young adults and enjoys an overwhelming popularity among these age groups.
