Relaxing Sunday

Today i had lunch with Ivan at Soto Ambengan Pak Sadi. It's so delicious! i like it so much, and i want more, more and more...=)

Finished lunch, Ivan went to office. Yeah, on Sunday he has to go to office, it's because he is working as an IT helpdesk and got shifting job. And today he's in evening/second shift. Hmm...i got an idea to go to the salon. I want to have a scalp treatment and body massage. It's sounds great, right? Yups, it was really great! At the salon, i got scalp treatment and full body massage. It makes me feel relax and refresh my mind and body too. =D

Ok, now i'm ready for tomorrow. Because tomorrow i have to go back to office. ^^ And how about you friends? What are you doing today?

Snack of the day

Last week my boss..eerrr, actually he's not my boss. He's one of Japanese staff from Honda Motor Co., Ltd in Japan who's working in Indonesia right now as an advisor in my office. So i assisted him for all of his administration here. Last week he went to Bangkok. And when he came back to Indonesia, he brought me snack from Bangkok.

Here are some pictures of the snack =)

It's a biscuit stick with larb flavour. Larb is a type of meat salad in Laotian and Thailand. It tasted salty and slightly spicy. Well, not bad for my breakfast this morning. =)

Happy Thursday!

Spicy Birthday Dinner

Hullaa...i think it's a lil' bit late to post about this. Last Sunday was my beloved father's birthday. My sister & i planned to have dinner to celebrate our father's birthday. So, on Sunday evening we went to Mbah Jingkrak. One of famous Javanese restaurant, located in Setiabudi. I also asked Ivan to join the dinner, and my sister came together with her husband. Unfortunately, my "step" mother can't join, because she's living in Bogor now and there's a heavy rain at that time.

Actually, Mbah Jingkrak is my fave restaurant. We (me & Ivan) often go to that restaurant. Although it's a Javanese restaurant, but most of their menu are spicy. My fave menu is ayam rambut setan. it would be "devil's hair chicken" if you translate it into English.  What a scary name, right? But that's what attracted the attention and make people curious to try the food at the restaurants.  

What can i say here is..it was a very delightful night with a very delicious food. =) Love you so much dad!

ps : i forgot to transfer my photos from my camera. so i'll put them here later. =P

From Padang to Sunda Kelapa Harbour

As usual, i spent my weekend (esp on Sunday) with my BF Ivan. And yesterday, we spent the day at Sunda Kelapa Harbour. Before we went there, we had lunch at Mak Syukur. Sate Padang is one of our fave food. =)

Sate Padang & Ice Lemon Tea..uummm yummy!

After lunch, we decided to go to Sunda Kelapa Harbour. I have prepared my digital camera too, so i can take pictures there.


Here are some pictures i taken over there.. =D

 

 

The day was late, and we were getting ready to go home. On the way to home, we stopped at Mangga Besar. Suddenly, i want to eat durian. So, i bought 2 Durian Medan and i'll eat it all alone. haha...

Duriaaann..here i coomeeee!!! =D

Cut and Eat

Feeling bored with my hair style, i decided to have a new hair cut. Still long, just different style. Today i went to Mall Kelapa Gading with Ivan. As always, i cut my hair at Rudy Hadisuwarno salon, and of course with my fave hair stylist named Cepi. =) While i have my hair cut, Ivan waiting for me at smoking room. I finished my hair cut for about 1,5 hours.

After that, we went to Eat 'n Eat to have dinner. Ivan eat at Raja Gurame, he chose Gurame saos Tiram. Hmm, sounds delicious right? I want to try other menu this time. So i chose to eat shrimp fried noodles at....errr, sorry i can't remember the name. -__-" I also bought durian monthong ice. It tasted very yummy and delicious. Once you tried it, you'll want to eat more, more and more. =D

Nyampe di Cheese Cake Factory, kita langsung disambut oleh pelayan2 yang sangat ramah. Pilih2 tempat duduk..Awal'a kita sempet milih tempat duduk yg di lantai 2, tempat'a agak terbuka. Tapi kok panas ya.. Ya uda, pindah aja d ke bawah yg adem ada AC'a. hehe.. Oough, perut uda lapar nih, langsung pesan makanan aja d. Akhir'a aku Beef Lasagna dan Green Tea, Dian pesan Beef Lasagna juga dan Teh Tarik, sedangkan Ribka pesan Carbonara dan Lemon Tea. Uhmm, yummy!!!

Happy Independence Day!

17 Agustus tahun 45.. itu lah hari Kemerdekaan kita, hari merdeka nusa dan bangsa... Merdeka! Merdeka!!

Untuk merayakan hari kemerdekaan RI ini, aku jalan2 dunk pasti'a.. *bukan ngerayain juga sih, emang niat'a pengen jalan2 ma temen2, daripada bengong di rumah doang. haha.. Jadilah aku jalan ke MKG (lagiii) dengan Ribka & Pingkan. Inget, cuma jalan doang, ga pake belanja! T_T uang uda abis, tinggal nunggu gajian & THR, tapi masih lama banget! Jalan2 kali ini Dian absen dulu, karena uda janji sm cowo'a mau jalan juga. Yo wes, bertiga aja juga gpp, yang penting cuci mata.

Sampai di Gading sekitar pk 12.00 a.m. uda waktu'a makan siang nih. Nah, daripada jalan dengan perut keroncongan, kita langsung menuju food court. Ternyata puasa2 gini tetep rame loh, banyak anak sekolah juga yg bis selesai upacara trus langsung ke mall. Bingung mau makan apa, aku memutuskan untuk liat2 makanan di Eat 'n Eat. Muter2..Pingkan kya'a tertarik sama gurame nih. Kebetulan kan aku juga suka banget gurame, jadi'a kita makan di Raja Gurame d. Kita bertiga nih pesen gurame smua. Pingkan gurame cabe ijo, Ribka gurame goreng dan aku gurame lada hitam. Yum yuuummm... Tapi entah kenapa urusan foto memfoto, aku selalu lupa! -__-" kenapa sih ya ga perna inget untuk fotoin dulu makanan'a? Tapi kalo urusan narsis2an sendiri sih pasti inget dunk. haha..

Soto Ambengan

Nyam..nyam.. Malem2 enak'a makan apa ya? Makan yg berkuah2 & panas enak kali ya? Makan soto yuuukss!! hehe..

Kemarin seperti biasa, Ivan menjemput aku ke kantor. Ivan datang kurang lebih pk 6.30 p.m. Karena Ivan dari pagi belum makan, akhir'a Ivan ngajakin aku makan soto di pak Gendut (sebutan kami berdua, padahal sih nama'a Pak Anta..). Tancap gas, langsung menuju ke lokasi. Oiy, tempat soto ini dekat dari rumah ku, dan kami juga sering membelikan soto buat papa. Begitu lewat di seberang tempat soto, aku liat kok gelap ya?? Oh nooooo...tutup ternyata dia. T.T ga jadi makan soto Pak Gendut d.. Ah, tapi ga boleh gagal dunk makan soto'a. Kebetulan papa mau ayam bakar, dan di situ jual soto juga. Alhasil aku dan Ivan beli soto di tempat ayam bakar itu.

Pesan ayam bakar 2 untuk papa dan soto 2 untuk aku & Ivan. Karena uda malem, aku minta nasi setengah aja. Biar ga tambah gendut nih badan. haha.. Datanglah pesanan kita. Tambah sambel dulu, baru nikmat. =D Uhmm..yummy, seger banget rasa'a makan soto malem2. Tapi kalo dibandingin sama soto Pak Gendut, enakan soto'a Pak Gendut itu. Yaaa..gpp lah, yang penting jadi makan soto sama sayang ku tercinta.. ^x^

Selamat menikmati! =)

Patin Goreng vs Gurame Bakar

Judul'a serem banget ya kya'a. hahaha.. It's time to wisata kuliner! Yayy!! Hari minggu kemarin, seperti biasa Ivan berkunjung ke rumah ku. Seperti biasa, kita selalu bingung nih mau makan siang dimana? Dipikir2.. Aku kasih ide ke Ivan, mau makan di Bakul Tukul, Ampera atau di Mas Miskun. Ivan kasih ide antara mau ke Lesehan Gurame atau Mas Miskun.. hmm, jadi bingung kan? Yo wes, akhir'a kita memutuskan ke Mas Miskun aja yg lebih murah. hahaha..

Jam 4 lewat kita berangkat ke Mas Miskun yang ada di Matraman, tepat'a seberang Gramedia Matraman. Nyampe sana, suasana agak sepi. Cuma ada 2 kelompok pengunjung. Begitu masuk, kita langsung disambut dengan pilihan menu berbagai macam ikan. Ivan langsung memilih ikan gurame bakar, sedangkan aku memilih ikan patin goreng. Ga lupa bilang ke mas2'a untuk digoreng yg garing ring ring, biar crispy nanti pas makan. hehe..yummy!!

Oiy, biasa'a nih kalau kita makan di Mas Miskun, kita ga perna pesan banyak2. Kemarin kita pesan 1 gurame bakar, 1 patin goreng, 3 nasi uduk, 3 tempe goreng, 2 es teh manis dan 1 aqua botol. Semua habis ludes ga bersisa! *ini doyan apa kelaperan ya?? haha..

Setelah menunggu kurang lebih 15 menit, akhir'a pesanan kami datang. Uhmm..nampak nikmat sekali gurame bakar dan patin goreng itu. Sebelum makan, jangan lupa berdoa dulu ya. ^^ Selesai berdoa, tanpa basa-basi, kami langsung menyantap hidangan yang ada di atas meja. Kebiasaan aku nih kalo makan ikan, pasti aku buka dulu bagian tengah'a, biar cepat dingin. Pas aku buka ikan patin goreng ku yg lezat ituuu..eng ing eng... Eeeeuuuwww!!! kok masih ada darah dan isi perut'a belum dibuang sih? Dalam sekejap hampir aja nafsu makan ku ilang. Langsung aja aku minta tolong Ivan untuk manggil si mas2 pelayan'aa. Begitu datang tuh mas2, aku langsung bilang begini "mas, ini kok kya gini, ada darah2'a? saya ga bisa makan kalo kya gini mas. Maaf ya mas, tolong diganti dunk". Ikan patin goreng ku langsung diambil sama si mas pelayan. Sambil menunggu, aku menyantap ikan gurame bakan punya Ivan. Wuih, ga kalah enak d poko'a, daging'a lembut, bumbu'a jg berasa. Ga lama kemudian ikan patin goreng ku datang lagi. Ternyata ikan ku yg tadi, dibersihkan isi perut'a dan di goreng garing lagi.

Tanpa menunggu lama, langsung ku santap ikan patin goreng ku itu. Emang sih ini ikan patin yang sama dengan yg tadi masih ada isi perut'a, tapi kan uda dibersihin & digoreng lagi. Jadi uda ga ada darah2'a. Karena ikan'a digoreng lagi, maka'a jadi lebih garing dan lebih nikmat rasa'a. hehehe...=D Oiy maaf ya, aku bener2 lupa fotoin makanan yg aku pesan kemarin. Maklum, tuntutan perut yg lapar ga bisa diundur2 lagi. Begitu selesai makan, baru inget d kalo aku belum foto2in.. -__-" Yah, semoga dengan cerita ku di atas, teman2 bisa membayangkan kya gimana rasa'a. *air liur mulai menggenang membayangkan gurame bakar & patin goreng lagi.. =))
