Located at Boca Rica Tapas Bar & Lounge at Mangkuluhur City, the lounge consists of a central platform connecting eight tables with four seats each, suspended above the ground.

Don't look down! There are certain procedures and regulations that diners have to follow. One, all guests must be at least 17 years old, 135 centimetres tall and weigh a maximum of 150 kilogram. Customers are also recommended to go to the bathroom before taking their seats to avoid the need to lower the platform during the meal. AFP
The concept of the crane-lifted lounge is backed by a 16-year safety record, and it was designed according to German standard DIN 4112, and regularly checked and maintained to ensure the safety of all guests. AFP
The concept was developed by two Belgian entrepreneurs and such a design has only been used in Malaysia and, before that, in Belgium. AFP
