Siauw A Tjiap
Posted by jeny at 11:10 PM
While growing up, SC & his family has many fond memories of eating out at Siauw A Tjiap, one of the old school Chinese restaurants in Jakarta. He kept saying about how good their food were. We tried it once last year by ordering take outs from their Taman Ratu branch and the result was disappointing. Some of the food even tasted weird. But still, SC assured me that maybe the old one located at Pancoran would taste better. So last month, as I passed this area, I entered the place and ordered one of their specialties: Lindung Cah Fumak (about 43K) to bring home. This time I was not disappointed, the dish really tasted delicious. The eel was deep fried until crispy and they use some fermented red rice wine in the sauce. I guess I'll be back later for more :)

Rakuzen
Posted by jeny at 10:08 PM
Last weekend, we have dinner at Rakuzen Japanese restaurant at Pacific Place. This is our second visit and this time I wanted to try the nabe menu. After scanning the menu for a while, I decided to order kaisen kami nabe (assorted seafood cooked in paper hotpot) 95K while SC ordered ebi kakiage jyu (fried prawn and vegetables on rice served with miso soup) 65K. The hotpot is presented attractively in a paper-covered metal bowl, with a small burner underneath. The vegetables, tofu, mushroom, salmon, prawn, scallop, and oyster, among others, are placed on top of the paper and poured with broth. As I waited for the nabe to boil over, I sampled some of SC's order. It tasted good, but the kakiage reminded me so much of bala bala (Indonesian mixed vegetables fritter). The hotpot tasted delicious too, with fresh ingredients and tasty soup. Although the prices were quite pricey for those portions, I think they're worth a try. Plus their ocha is free :)

Bakmie Bangka Poppay
Posted by jeny at 4:30 PM
Last weekend, I was doing some shopping at ITC Mangga Dua and decided to have lunch there. I remembered that someone has recommended a noodle stall called Poppay on the second floor of ITC Mangga Dua. I'd passed this place several times in the past and it was always packed with customers. So we went there this time and determined to wait until we got a table. As predicted, the place was full. We waited several minutes to get a table. From the menu pasted on the wall, we learned that they serve mie ayam bangka, pempek, tahu kok & nasi tim. We quickly placed our orders: bakmie bangka 12K and tahu kok 12K. We have to wait for another 20 minutes until our orders were served. The taste was decent, but not that great to justify the throng of people here. Plus, the service is really bad. I have to nag them several times for our orders. I guess that was enough to turn my mood off.

Bihun Siram Picis
Posted by jeny at 5:03 AM
Not far from Nasi Ulam Misjaya, there's a small place bearing the sign PICIS. I remembered that someone said Picis is famous for its burung dara goreng (fried pigeon). However, I also heard that the price for that delicacy is unreasonably high, so I didn't dare to order it. Instead, I ordered a portion of bihun siram to take home. A portion of bihun siram cost about 30K, also quite pricey, but I think it was worth it since they put in some prawns, meat, pork's liver and intestines in the topping. The rice noodle was cooked until it was a bit burnt, then they cooked the thick soup full of green vegetables and meat. They packaged the rice noodle and thick soup in separate wrappers so I can mix it later when I got home. The aroma was quite fragrant as they cooked and I have high hope for the dish. Yet when I tasted it, I noticed a little sour taste in the thick soup, which is weird for me. The chili sauce was also a bit sour. I'm not sure whether the dish is supposed to taste like that or not, but I didn't like it.

Nasi Ulam Misjaya
Posted by jeny at 2:46 PM
Nasi Ulam Misjaya

Over the past year, I've tasted several kinds of nasi ulam whenever I've stumbled upon them. Yet, none of them was as good as Nasi Ulam Betawi Misjaya located in front of Toa Se Bio Shrine at Glodok area. It opens on late afternoons and is never lacking in customers. One day, I managed to have a bite there. It was quite packed, but luckily, there was an empty table in front of the shrine. I ordered a portion of nasi ulam with semur tahu & salty squid 12K. The rice came in a full plate consisting of steamed rice topped with fried bihoon, sliced cucumber, chopped fried peanut, fried shallot, salty squid slices, semur tahu, drenched in semur soup, topped with kerupuk, emping and kemangi (lemon basil). The taste was delicious and not too sweet. Too bad I didn't spot the chili jar until after I've finished the meal. I bet it would make the dish taste even better :)

Potato Head
Posted by jeny at 9:25 PM
I've been meaning to visit this place from several months ago, but due to its popularity, I was unable to make the reservation and was told to make a reservation 2 weeks ahead. After that, I just lost my interest. But last weekend, my friend managed to reserve a table for the 10 of us on Friday night. So we went there and after waiting for a while, we were given a table inside. The interior design of Potato Head is actually quite interesting, with walls and ceilings covered with lots of old window panels in various sizes. The lighting is very poor, so please forgive my poor pictures. I don't quite like this place since our table was directly under the aircon that blown us with cold air from top & behind.

Macau Che Jian
Posted by jeny at 6:44 AM
One Friday evening, we were looking for the ATM center in Grand Indonesia when I noticed a restaurant called Macau Che Jian next to the ATM center. After scanning the menu, we decided to go inside and get a seat. This restaurant serves Macaunese cuisine which is quite different from the usual Chinese cuisine because of the Portuguese influence. One of their specialties is Macau baked rice. It's rice topped with chicken or seafood then covered with tomato/cheese/Macau sauce and then baked. That evening, I ordered Macau baked rice with chicken and macau sauce 27.5K. The taste was quite unique because Macau sauce tasted a bit like curry sauce, but not too spicy. The portion was moderate with reasonable price :)

Bubur Kwang Tung
Posted by jeny at 4:32 AM
Last weekend, we went to Pecenongan to dine at the famous Bubur Kwang Tung. It's been so long since our last visit. The decor remained roughly the same. A typical Chinese-style restaurant with rather tacky celebrity photos paraded along the wall. As usual, we asked for a non-smoking area and was directed to the second floor which was still empty. I'm pretty sure Bubur Kwangtung has no non-smoking area and we were led to the second floor only because it was empty.
Bubur Kwangtung
We ordered the famous crab congee 45K and a portion of tahu special ala Kwang Tung 25K to share. The congee came in a large portion, more than enough for two. It was cooked in broth and the cracked crab was placed in the middle of the bowl with lots and lots of crab egg. The accompanying condiments were ginger, chili and soy sauce. Still delicious (and consistent) after all these years. The tahu special was also great, much more delicious than the one we had at Dharma Kitchen, although we would have preferred that they used ordinary tofu instead of Japanese egg tofu :)

Dharma Kitchen
Posted by jeny at 8:17 AM
2 weeks ago, we had lunch at a vegetarian restaurant called Dharma Kitchen. The first floor is occupied by a vegetarian bakery & cafe, while the second floor is for the restaurant. We chose to sit at the cafe. There are two seating areas, the tatami area and tables area. The waitress gave us two sets of menu, one from the cafe & one from the restaurant. After studying the menu, we ordered tahu gulung special (regular) 38K and tahu jamur special 48K to go with nasi hainam polos 6K and ice tea (refill) 4K. The Hainamnese rice & ice tea were served 5 minutes after we ordered, but the other dishes and white rice took almost 25 minutes to appear. The tahu jamur special is tofu topped with green vegetables and mushroom with brown sauce. The taste was barely acceptable and the tofu have a strong soybean-ish smell (bau langu). On the other hand, the tahu gulung special is quite good. It didn't have that soybean smell, probably because it's deep fried. As for the Hainamnese chicken rice, I think they put too much sesame oil in it. Overall, I think vegetarian restaurant doesn't suit my taste :P

Ikan Goreng Cianjur
Posted by jeny at 9:31 AM
Last month, we had dinner with several friends at Ikan Goreng Cianjur on Greenville housing complex (across Jakarta fruit store). They serve Sundanese dishes with reasonable prices. The interior is simple and clean. We ordered Nasi Liwet (Sundanese savory rice cooked in panci kastrol) 23K to share, ikan gurame goreng 40K, terong penyet 12K, udang sambal ebi 20K, tahu goreng 6K, tempe goreng 6K, pete goreng 8K, kangkung terasi 16K, sambal terasi 3K and sambal mangga 6K. Turned out some of the dishes came with a small portion of chili sauce, so we were surrounded with several plates of chili sauces. Their Nasi Liwet was delicious and the other dishes were quite good too, except for their udang sambal ebi, which appeared different from what was shown in the menu (I guess they used baby "pancet" prawn) and tasted only so so. Overall, I feel that this kind of food would taste better if we eat with hands, sitting at a meadow with hilly views, just like the one I had at Selabintana, Sukabumi, several years ago. :)

Tabona
Posted by jeny at 6:28 PM
Tabona is one of our must visit places whenever we went to Medan. This time, my family and I have lunch there before we went to Parapat for a two-day trip. The place was crowded when we arrived as it was lunch time. I've spotted some changes since our last visit. They are now placing chairs and parasols on the sidewalks outside the restaurant. We chose to sit outside and ordered our meals. I ordered a portion of bihun kari ayam. The taste is as delicious as it has always been. I've tried in vain to find a place in Jakarta serving bihun kari ayam that tasted this good. The chicken was tender, the soup was rich and tasty. I also liked the addition of chicken blood in the meal. You can count on me returning here again on my next trip to Medan.

Selat Panjang
Last month, we took a short trip to Medan, where we checked in to a budget hotel called Wisma Sederhana located on Selat Panjang street. The street have been long known as a place to go for good food. At night, the street is packed with stalls selling all kinds of dishes ranging from bakpao, chicken rice, congee, stir fried dishes and many more. Below are some of the food we've managed to cover in two nights.

Whenever we go to Mangga Dua, I'm always looking for TomYam for lunch. I've already tried Mama Kitchen's tomyam, so this time we decided to try Papaco. The place was bursting with people having quick lunches in between their christmas shopping. After wandering for a while, we found Papaco's stall and got a table nearby. I ordered a portion of Tomyam seafood with kuetiau/flat rice noodle (forgot how much it cost.. about 20K-25K if i'm not mistaken). The dish was served almost immediately, but I had to nag for a spoon and extra cilantro. It tasted descent, but not spicy enough. I think Mama Kithen serves a much better Tomyam than this place.

Pan-o

Last month, we had a quick lunch at Pan-O before the chocolate appreciation class. It's a new pancake restaurant at FX lifestyle center and as predicted, stationed the non-smoker outside of the restaurant *hiks*. We ordered their three stack original pancake with maple syrup, one fancy pancake called kyoto (grilled chicken, tomatoes, chicken ham, oyster mushroom and mozarella, served with rolled pancake and mashed potato) 50K and berry ice drinks. Their original pancake tasted quite good, although not as good as the pancake in Pancious. Their fusion / fancy pancake tasted is just mediocre, though the drink was nice. Overall, I think this place is overpriced with standard pancake.

Ootoya
Posted by jeny at 6:21 PM
Last month, we noticed a new restaurant next to Urban Kitchen at Pacific Place. It's the same Japanese restaurant that has opened earlier at Senayan City, but we haven't had a chance to try it. A week later, while we're at Pacific Place again we decided to dine there. The restaurant is spacious with minimalist decor, but still feels warm and comfortable. The service was flawless. We're given hot towels for refreshment as soon as we arrived and the waiter asked if we want cold ocha or hot ocha. Turned out that ocha is free in this restaurant. The tea they used is one of my favorite Japanese tea, genmaicha, which has a faint aroma of roasted rice. The menu is exciting as there are no sushi or sashimi. Instead, we were presented with a list of dishes they claimed as Japanese home cooking. We ordered their fried eggplant vinegar sauce 20K, rice cooked with oyster set menu served in bamboo basket 79K, and cold soba served in wooden tray 35K. Turned out the dishes was very delicious. I love my fragrant rice topped with oyster, and SC was enjoying his cold soba.

Ootoya

Several days later, we're back again with friends. This time, we ordered their cold tofu 18K (I love it so much), tofu & egg soup 55K (so comforting), hot udon in wakame soup 39K (also great). We're enjoying our time there so much, we went back there again a week later with another couple of friends. This time we ordered Natto 15K (I'm not really into this thing, although SC said it's not that bad), rice with roasted chicken with plum & egg soup 59K (very hearty meal), charcoal grilled chicken salad in basil sauce 69K (perfect), while my friends ordered rice with fried beef served with kimchi 79K (very tasty according to her) and fried chicken with sweet and sour sauce 69K (I didn't taste this one, but it looked promising). Overall I think we'll be back again, dragging even more friends :P as long as they can keep their menu's authenticity :)

Several weeks ago, on our way to Kelapa Gading, we stopped by a Manado restaurant for lunch. I've always liked Manado dishes because it was very hot & spicy. The restaurant was empty as lunch time had passed hours ago and maybe because that day was a public holiday. There was no decor to speak of. The place looked spartan: old but clean. There were several displayed dishes. I chose Tinorangsak (Manado's spicy pork dishes) 40K and SC who can't stand spicy food settled on Brenebon soup (Manado's kidney bean soup) 40K. Yes, it's not cheap, but the portion made up for the price. We even had to take a doggie back. The taste was delicious and I think it's authentic. The woman serving us was very friendly and I ended up buying some rica-rica and panada home. :)

Kantin Dewi Sri

Three weeks ago we went to Bogor for lunch. This time our destination is a cafeteria called Kantin Dewi Sri which according to Kuliner series: Ke Bogor Yuk is famous for its fried chicken. The place is small and clean, but it felt a bit dark & gloomy. We took a tray and began to browse the displayed dishes. There were various dishes to choose, we took fried chicken 10.5K, nasi pepes 9K, perkedel 4K, pepes jamur 8K, sayur pare 8K, semur jengkol 8K. Overall the meal was OK, the chicken was tender, but not really special. But maybe its because I'm used to hot and spicy dishes so I found the meal a bit bland.

Still in a mood for Japananese food, we tried another Japanese restaurant at FX Sudirman. The place was quite crowded on Friday night, luckily we can get a seat at the non-smoking section inside the restaurant. It always irritates me when a restaurant puts its non-smoking section outside, because that means they are saving the best seats for smokers inside. Anyway, whenever we're in a Japanese restaurant, I always looked for donburi while SC always looked for cold soba. So we ordered Zaru Soba (brown wheat soba sprinkled with seaweed) 45K, Chirashi Don (slices of tuna and salmon sashimi, grilled unagi and tamago on sushi rice) 57.3K from the menu. The presentation of the food was very appealing, but to me the taste was only so so. My chirashi don topping didn't taste very fresh and the rice was too salty. SC's cold soba was quite delicious though he said it was just average and prefers the one at Midori :)

Nasi Tim Pasar Pagi
Posted by jeny at 6:33 AM
Last week, SC noticed a new restaurant at Taman Palem Lestari Boulevard's "restaurant row". The place is called Nasi Tim Pasar Pagi. I'm so excited when I heard about it and we decided to try it first thing in the morning the next day. The place was already open at 6am, perfect for breakfast. We came in and ordered a portion of nasi tim with a raw free-range chicken egg on top (19K). The rice was served alongside a plate of cilantro and a bowl of soup. I quickly mixed the egg with the rice, resulting in a sort of creamy texture. I never had nasi tim with raw egg before and to me, it tasted so delicious. I don't like the mushy type of nasi tim, so this kind of nasi tim is perfect for me since I can still feel the rice grain. The price was quite expensive compared to the one we usually had, but I thought it was worth my every rupiah. Btw, they also serve chicken noodle, rice noodle, sui kiaw, pangsit, somay, mie kangkung, baso goreng, otak-otak, tahu baso, baso sapi & various traditional cake. But I think I'll be back for their heavenly nasi tim. :)

It has been a long time since we last visited Kiyadon. I've always liked Kiyadon for their donburi. So two weeks ago, when I was craving for another bowl of Kiyadon's donburi, we went to their joint at Pacific Place. The place is spacious, with faked tatami seater. The menu is quite varied, from appetizer & salad, sushi, sashimi, set menu, ala carte menu, nabemono, agemono, noodle dishes (udon/soba), donburi & pasta. I ordered Kinoko Don (rice bowl topped with mushroom onion and egg) special 53K. the dish came with salad, and a small plate of cold wheat soba. The dish tasted exquisite, I love the donburi so much, too bad the portion was quite small. Although the price is not cheap, I'll still return from time to time.

Ketupat Gorengan Bang Alex
Posted by jeny at 5:33 AM
This gorengan is my newest favorite dish. It's located on jalan Panjang near Bumbu Desa restaurant. Its appearance is nothing like the gorengan we usualy eat as afternoon snack. This dish consists of beef offal (daging, babat, iso, paru, urat, torpedo, etc.) cooked in coconut milk in a huge wok. It is very tasty and usually served with Betawi style ketupat sayur or nasi uduk. I prefer the ketupat sayur more since it's quite sweet and nicely balanced the savory gorengan. If you want it to be more spicy, try adding some of their peanut chilli sauce. To me it tasted perfect. :)

Cheese Cake Factory
Posted by jeny at 7:27 AM
After bubur ayam sukabumi, we went to the restaurant next door for dessert. The restaurant's interior is nice. There are display cases showcasing their cheese cakes and an open kitchen. Besides dessert, this place also offers full meal course (steak, pasta, pizza, etc), but we already decided we'll only try their desserts. So we ordered a piece of blueberry cheese cake and a portion of warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. The cheese cake tasted delicious and wasn't too sweet. The warm chocolate cake was also decent, but I was dissapointed when they said they don't have mint leaves, which would've complimented the vanilla ice cream nicely. Overall, I think this place is good, but I still prefer Cizz's cheese cake, too bad they've already moved out of Tebet.

Cali Deli
Posted by jeny at 12:48 PM
3 weeks ago, when we're in FX Center, we noticed that Cali Deli has just opened a new branch on the 7th floor. It is a restaurant specializing in Vietnamese sandwiches and I've been wanting to try it. However, we hesitated before entering this place because when we asked for non smoking area, the waiter told us proudly that every space in there is available for smoking. But since the place was not crowded and I didn't spot anyone smoking, we decided to take a quick bite. There were various sandwiches to choose from: java bread (sweet) 24.5K, veggie 21K, grilled chicken 32K, chicken satay 32K, lemongrass chicken sandwich 33K, BBQ chicken 33K, tuna egg 33K, beef satay 43K, turkey 43K and combo signature 43K. We decided to go with the Lemongrass chicken sandwiches. Too bad they didn't have lemongrass tea, so we decided only to order mineral water. Our meal came several minutes later. To be honest, it didn't look appealing at all. But it turned out to be delicious. I like the crispy French bagguete and the stuffing was also good. I like the taste of chicken combined with lemongrass and cilantro, It taste so refreshing. If only they put a strict rule about smoking & non smoking (or better yet, no smoking at all), I think I'll visit this place more often.

Last month, when I was meeting SC around Sarinah for dinner, we stopped by Ramen 38 that serves authentic Japanese noodle. Ramen 38 at Wahid Hasyim is the smaller branch from the one located at Melawai street, in the 2nd floor of the same building that house Kamome Japanese Supermarket. We ordered the usual: Tonkotsu Ramen (pork bone broth soup ramen served with pork slices, wakame and topped with nori). In my opinion, the ramen at Melawai tasted better than this one. I think this ramen was too salty, but maybe that night was not my lucky night.

Menu1

Last month while we're at Pluit Junction, I noticed a nice & cleanly decorated restaurant called Menu1. The place is large and spacious, with white tile & green accent. I like the place instantly so we decided to try it. It is a Chinese food restaurant specializing in porridge, appetizer and dessert. They serve varieties of porridge, hot and cold desserts such as: sago pudding & pancakes, grass jelly ice, beancurd pudding & ice cream.

Depot Murni
Posted by jeny at 11:03 PM
Our next stop was the newest addition to Balinese Cuisine in Kelapa Gading Boulevard called Depot Murni (also originated from Surabaya). They serve nasi Babi Guling Gianyar (Istimewa 28K, Biasa 25K), Iga Bakar (Saus Murni 34K, Saus teriyaki 39K), Sam Sam Goreng 20K, Nasi Ayam Betutu (Komplit 22K - Biasa 20K), Nasi Ayam Tabanan 22K, Sate kelapa 20K, Sate Plecing 15K 5pcs, Sate Pusut 15K for 5pcs, They even had Rawon on their menu :) Since we're already quite full, we only ordered Nasi Babi Guling Gianyar, sate pusut & usus goreng to share. Overall the dishes taste & presentation were only so so, nothing different or special compared with what we already had before.

[Closed] Warung Tengil Revisited
Posted by jeny at 10:32 AM
Warung Tengil

Our next stop was Warung Tengil. The last time we're here, we weren't impressed with what they offered. But this time, we decided to give it another try. The place was surely not as crowded as before and there has been changes in the menu since our last visit. We elected for larger tables on the second floor. While waiting for others to arrive we ordered: rujak bawel 10K. It tasted quite delicious, but it wasn't anything near Balinese's rujak kuah pindang. For lunch, we ordered nasi babi guling + soup 22K, nasi babi bambu bakar 22K. sate babi 3.5K/pcs to share. In my opinion, the dishes still tasted the same and just as average. Furthermore, the presentation was just as minimal as the taste. :(

[Reopening] Ya Udah Bistro
Posted by jeny at 8:04 AM
Ya Udah

Ya-Udah was our old time favorite western restaurant, we're dissapointed when they decided to sold the premises at Jalan Jaksa. So when we heard & read that they've opened again in the new location, we're very excited. Last month, on 15 June, several days after their reopening, we head there with several friends for brunch. The new place on Kelapa Gading Boulevard is not hard to find, located a few hundred meters from the Kelapa Gading/Kayu Putih/Perintis Kemerdekaan intersection. The interior stayed more or less the same. I guess they tried to create the same atmosphere like the one at Jaksa. There are 2 separate dining area, inside or at the terrace. We chose to sit at the terrace, which is sheltered by a yellow awning. That's why all the pictures we took looked yellowish. :(

Koh Cu Ong
Posted by jeny at 7:18 AM
No, I'm not blogging about ngkoh2, it still about food. Koh Cu Ong is selling smoked chicken (available both free-range & broiler chicken) & honey roasted pork. He sells it from a small cart in front of Ngesti supermarket. Koh Cu Ong claims that he has been selling from that spot for more than four decades. We bought some of the smoked chicken & roasted pork. Both of it tasted super duper delicious. The pork was so crispy while the chicken meat was so tender. His stall is going to be my regular destination everytime i go to Bogor.

We've visited this place several time in the last 3 months whenever we went to Pacific Place. This place is quite interesting. They served several kind of dishes, from bread, pasta, pizza and even sushi. There are several dining area: inside the cafe, outside in the "yatch", or even at the light house. So far we've tried 2 types of pasta from their menu: squid ink linguini pasta 30K & minced wagyu (if i'm not mistaken), served in a hot stone bowl, potato & leek soup 25K, & warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream 23K. Overall the dishes tasted great. The presentation is nice, although that should be a given since Y&Y is managed by the people behind Y! Grill, a fine dining restaurant on Wisma Nusantara. Its friendly service and affordable price ensures that we'll be back for more :)

Dinar Seafood
Posted by jeny at 6:50 PM
3 weeks ago, we had dinner with several friends at Dinar seafood restaurant. The restaurant serves Makassar-style dishes. One of their specialty is ikan kudu-kudu bakar (it's a uniquely shaped fish that has a hard scale and grilled with spice in its stomach). So here's what we ordered : ikan kudu kudu bakar 40K, kepiting jantan lada hitam 70K, udang mayonaise 45K, kangkung belacan 12.5K, cumi saous XO 45K, sop kepala ikan 40K, and pete bakar (1 papan) 5K. Overall, all the dishes were impressive although the portion was not very big. I especially like the kudu-kudu fish, their sop kepala ikan was hot and tasty, it reminded me of Manado's sop ikan asam, combined with Thai's Tom Yam Kung. The crab was also superb with generous amount of black pepper. I love mixing my pete bakar with the black pepper and eat it with rice. It tasted heavenly :)

King Of Thai
Posted by jeny at 7:31 PM
Last month, while waiting for SC at Plasa Indonesia EX'nter, I had a quick lunch at a place called King Of Thai, The place is not big and it was crowded at lunch time. I have to wait to get a table at non smoking section. I ordered their Pad Thai 35K and a pot of hot lemon tea. Actually I did not expect much from this place, but surprisingly, I found the pad thai to be quite delicious. The portion was also moderate. The desert looked tempting, too bad I was alone so I didn't dare to order it. I was afraid I couldn't finish it.

Lang Viet
Posted by jeny at 7:30 PM
3 weeks ago after attending a batik exhibition held at Jakarta Convention Center, we planned to have lunch at Warung Tengil - Kelapa Gading. But due to my sore throat, SC decided to postpone it and we went to Lang Viet instead. From what we've heard, the place serves quite authentic Vietnamese dishes. So we ordered pho bo (large) 44K to share, fresh goi cuon 25K and lemon grass tea 20K. In my opinion, this is one of the best pho I have ever tasted, but I'm not sure about the goi cuon as the rice paper that wrapped the goi cuon was a bit sticky, though the dish still tasted OK. Their hot lemon grass tea was so delicious, while the cold lemon grass tea was a bit tasteless. We will be back here again to try their other specialties. Btw there's a sing sing ramen in this complex too :)

Soto Madura Rendi
Posted by jeny at 7:02 AM
It has been so long since we last visited Soto Rendi, which, in my opinion, is the best soto madura I've ever tasted in Jakarta. We returned last week to savor the soto once again. From what we heard, Soto Rendi has expanded and opened a second (bigger) branch near Kampus Anggrek Binus. We tried to look for it but couldn't find it. So we decided to visit the old one instead. Located in Kompleks Sandang, the place is very very cramped. We were lucky to find two empty seats inside. We ordered the usual bowl of Soto Ayam Nasi Campur (rice topped with all the soto inggredients & drenched in chicken broth) at 8K per bowl, a very reasonable price, although it has increased since our last visit almost two years ago. The ingredients were not as generous as I remembered, but the taste is still every bit as good as the last time, especially when you add a dash of lemon & some sambal. Soto Rendi was even reviewed by Laksmi Pamuntjak in her newest edition of Jakarta Good Food Guide.

RM Saji
Posted by jeny at 7:24 PM
RM Saji I read about this place on Jalansutra mailing list about 2 months ago. Several members said that Saji serves up decent and very reasonably-priced Thai cuisine. So one day, along with some colleagues, we went there for lunch. The restaurant is located in a shophouse in Sudirman Park Apartment area. The interior is very spartan, just like a cafeteria with a bit of Thai accent in the corner.

The menu turned out to be a combination of noodle selection (mie ayam,mie bakso, mie goreng, lomie etc), rice (nasi goreng, nasi capcai, nasi goreng ikan asin, nasi goreng hongkong, etc), chicken (ayam goreng mentega, ayam goreng ala thai, ayam kungpao, ayam kuluyuk, etc), beef (sapi lada hitam, sapi panggang thai, sapi cah jamur, etc), prawn (udang mayonaise, udang cabe garam, udang tauco, etc), fish (gurame asam manis, gurame tahu tausi, etc), veggies (kailan polos, kailan cah sapi, bayam taiwan polos, etc), and some other common chinese dishes.

There's no specific heading for Thai dishes, so we just picked several dishes that have Thai sounding names or are well known Thai dishes: Tom Yum Kung 22K, Ayam Daun Pandan Thai 20K, Cumi Cabe Garam 25K, Udang Goreng Cabe Garam 30K, Kangkung Belacan 12K with Thai ice Tea 7K. Overall, the meal was not bad. I especially love their udang & cumi cabe garam. The Tom Yum Kung, though tasty and aromatic, was not my favorite as it was not hot & spicy at all.

Kamseng Restaurant
Posted by jeny at 12:31 PM
Last month I bought a new book by Laksmi Pamuntjak called Jakarta Good Food Guide 2008-2009, it consist of about 400 eateries from all over the place in Jakarta. One of the place recommended by this book was this sapo restaurant called Kamseng, served all kind of congee 24 hours. The congee selection include : beef, all kind of pork offal, squid, fish, chicken, Guangzhou - Beijing - Shanghai - Taiwan Special, saklon, seafood, prawn, meatball, eel, 3 flavor, crab and plain. Since we're still a bit full from nasi goreng, we only ordered the eel congee 24K with telur phitan 5.5K. The meal came in a hot sapo pot, the congee was very tasty but the texture was too fine. Usually I didn't like this kind of congee but this one can makes me scrape the bottom of the bowl. later I found out that we can choose a coarse type of congee. With this price plus it was much2 more delicious than the famous congee next door, we surely will be back. :)

Tom Yum Mama Kitchen
Posted by jeny at 6:18 PM
Two weeks ago we were at Mangga Dua doing some errands, and I'm taking that opportunity to try the famous Tom Yum at Mama Kitchen ITC Mangga Dua. The stall was quite crowded at the time we arrive, but we still managed to get a seat. They served only tom yum, from tom yum kung super, seafood, with noodle/kwetiaw/rice to tom yum fried rice (with salted fish, prawn & pinneaple, seafood). So I ordered a bowl of tom yum seafood (very hot) with rice 20K with ice tea 2K. After waiting for a while the meal came, the soup color was so tempting, range of orange to red which could only mean one thing : the soup is super hot, with fresh seafood topped with cilantro makes this meal irresistible. I'm not sure if this meal was the authentic Thai cooking, but It surely delicious. :)

The first thing that grab my attention from this place is its interior. Decorated in Malay's kampong house style, using bird cage as their hanging lamp, plus the servant dressed in sarong and kebaya makes this place quite catchy. Located at Pacific Place, served malaysian nyonya cuisine. such as nasi lemak, asam laksa, char kuay teow etc. we decided to order the asam laksa 35.5K, kuay teow 28.5K with teh tarik 13.5K and honey lime 17.5K. Actually the food was not bad, but not really suit my taste. the asam laksa's concoction was too thick compared to what I had at Penang. but the taste was OK though. the kuay teow was too sweet and a bit too oily, the teh tarik was good, but my honey lime turn out to be kum quat juice. :)

Beirut Lebanon Restaurant
Posted by jeny at 5:15 PM
Last Friday, we tried this Lebanese restaurant called Beirut Lebanon Restaurant. They offer Lebanese cuisine such as Tabouleh, Homous, Motabbal, Baba Ghannaouj, Kebbeh, Sambousek, Falafel, Kebab, Shish Taouk, Shawarma etc. The restaurant is located on the second floor. It's nicely decorated, though it felt a bit old school. Wwe got ourselves a place at the corner, since they have no non-smoking section. Luckily, the place was not very crowded. We ordered their hot appetizer (hot mezza) : Falafel (fried ball or patty made from spiced fava beans and/or chickpeas) 21.5K. For the main course we ordered Riz Basmati Kebuli (basmati rice cooked with a lot of spices and topped with lamb meat) 52K, and for dessert we ordered Mohalabia (a honey-drenched milk pudding) 15.5K. Actually, we want to try Baklava, but they only have Mohalabia and Riz Bil Halib (rice pudding). Overall the meal was satisfying even if I'm not very familiar with Lebanese Cuisine. I especially liked the Kebuli rice and the milk pudding. :)

Adira Kenduri Kuliner Nusantara
Posted by jeny at 9:07 AM
Last weekend, we visited Adira Kenduri Kuliner Nusantara event held at Gedung Arsip Nasional (Jl. Gajah Mada 111, Jakarta Barat). The entry fee is 20K per pax, and to buy the food we have to use coupons (5K per coupon). There were a lot of interesting food selection offered, such as : Boepet Mini - Martabak Palembang - Mie Tjelor Pempek - Boergo - Nasij Oedoek Laksa &Tape Oeli Tjisalak - Gaboes Poecoeng Ciboeboer - Soto Mie -Tahoe Pong - Gado-gado dan Roejak Tjingoer -Koepang Lontong & Asem-Asem - Mie Kepiting Pontianak - Atjil - Sate Jamoer - Nasij Bali - Ajam Taliwang Senggigi Coto - Yougwa Masakan Papua - Koewe Tradisional Eis Mangga & Pala - Tjintjaoe Djahe Tjikini - Biir Pletok - Serabi Solo Notosoeman gaja Menteng - Eis Kelapa Muda &Otak-otak . Since I haven't had breakfast yet, I started with Nasi Jenggo 2 coupons (very pricey judging from the meal's portion & content, and originally in Bali, this food is very cheap), while SC looked for Semur Jengkol & nasi uduk from Nasi Uduk Betawi Bang Nuri. The meal cost him about 20K (4 coupons), but it tasted delicious. After that, I tried sate jamur from Banyumas (half portion : 1 coupon), Sayur Babanci, tape ketan & uli from Mpok Minoel's Stand. Then, I bought a portion of papeda with ikan gabus kuah asam (3 coupons) from Yougwa stand. I had wanted to try papeda for so long, but never have the courage to actually sample it. I mean, I was a bit hesitant to try the papeda (it looks like sticky glue), but suprisingly it tasted OK, the soup was so fresh and delicious. :)

Penang Restaurant
Posted by jeny at 4:02 PM
Several weeks ago, we happen to pass in front of "The Food Place" on our way to Mangga Besar, and we decided to grab something light there for dinner. It's not 6PM yet, the place was quite deserted, there's sushi nobu, pizza hut & imperial chef on the ground floor, and on the basement we found there's a Penang restaurant. From the banner outside this place, we knew that there's a promo for crab (not more than 50K) so we decided to try it. Since SC predicted that he will have a sore throat, we only ordered "steam crab with garlic". I also ordered nasi lemak to eat with the crab. When the meal came it looks delicious, but when we tasted it, it was rather bland except for the strong smell of garlic. plus its rather hard to eat crab with a bowl of rice & chopstick. :P Later that night we still feel hungry so we stop by Martabak Har for a plate of "nasi biryani cooked with lamb meat" and "teh tarik".

Sate Afrika
Posted by jeny at 1:30 PM
I've been longing to visit this place since last year but never had a chance till now. Located in the area between "Indonesia Power" building & "Museum Tekstil", this place served Malinese Cuisine known better as "Sate Afrika". We arrived around 11PM and ordered 2 portion of lamb meat & 1 portion of "jerohan" and "pisang goreng tanduk". We watched them prepared the meat : grilled, and then cut into pieces, put into a pan and mixed with spices & cooked again until the meat is soft and tender. served in an aluminium plate topped with sliced onion, Overall the meat was delicious, not oily at all, not smelly (ngga bau prengus), make a perfect combination with the fried banana and their special chili sauce (a combination of sambal lampung, mustard and sweet soya sauce), but a bit too tasty :)

Nasi Kebuli @ Biak Street
Posted by jeny at 11:43 AM
I visited this place about a month ago with SC, located in front of "Mestika Bank" at Biak street, the street was full with a lot of interesting street food vendor at night. from what I heard this place served quite authentic "nasi kebuli" (every Saturday), so without hesitation we ordered 1 portion of nasi kebuli with kari kambing, 1 roti canne (plain, because we think we can use the kari kambing for dipping) and 2 "teh tarik". overall the food was delicious, but was a little bit pricey. All of that cost us about 52K. besides nasi kebuli, they also served : "martabak kari palembang", "martabak telur daging special", "prata ala Singapore" & "mie celor Palembang".

miitem
Posted by jeny at 12:54 AM
2 weeks ago, we decided to try a new hip noodle restaurant called : miitem. Located at Kemang Food Festival, the small restaurant was decorated in black and white interior (IMO maybe looks cool at night, but a little bit dull at noon). We decided to order 1 miitem aglio olio 25++ and 1 miitem with fermented prawn 25++ and lemon grass ice tea 15++ and mango ice tea 15++. This place seems to be adopted a fast food type restaurant, since all the meal (mi item) was served in a chinese style take-out carton and the drinks was served in a plastic glass. I noticed that not many people like to dine in using a paper ware & plastic glass especially with this price. The meal mainly was made from noodles infused in squid ink, resulting a dark color noodles with a very savory taste. overall the meal was not bad, the noodle was very tasty (aglio olio was a bit hot). but we feel very thirsty afterwards.

Since we stayed at Legian - Kuta, we had a chance to try so many restaurant in here, and I decided to make a summary of what we have here. Some of it was international cuisine : greek/Turkish at Kebab Palace, Italian cuisine at Kuta Puri Restaurant. We also found Balinese buffet at glory restaurant. Most of the night we just wandered around Kuta traditional market where there's a lot cheap food choices : nasi pedes (java), bakmi ayam, soto ceker, several nasi lawar babi seller, nasi jenggo. All of it were very cheap (from 2K - 7K).

5 things to eat before you die
Posted by jeny at 9:48 AM
5 things to eat before you dieRitha from Daun Pisang tagged me to list my "5 things to eat before you die". Thanks Ritha :) The project was initiated by Melisa from The travelers lunch box. who got her inspiration from a list of the 50 things to eat before you die, compiled via a poll of BBC viewers and aired as a television show back in 2004.

It surely is hard to list, since I love so many food (pemakan segala), so it's so difficult to me to narrow it down to 5 choices only *greedy*. So later I decided just to list the one I want to try in their original place in Indonesia, and here they are...

Bakmi Garing
Posted by jeny at 3:26 PM
2 weeks ago, on our way back from kelapa gading, we feel hungry again :P, so we stopped by a "kaki lima" place called "bakmi garing 21". its almost midnight when we arrived, but the place was still crowded. so we ordered their pork noodle (around 9K if I'm not mistaken). the noodle tasted so delicious, much better than "bakmi kepiting owkie" that i had at sunter in the afternoon. :)

Tour de Pasar Puri Indah
Posted by jeny at 7:39 PM
Two weeks ago, I spent my Saturday morning exploring "Puri Indah" traditional market. I always like to go to "pasar" because usually they got a lot of food variety in a very honest price. "Pasar Puri Indah" located in Puri Indah's housing complex. the place was quite clean, and organize in order. beside selling vegetables & meat, they also sell alot of "jajanan" such as : Indonesian traditional cakes (fresh from Senen), ketoprak, somay, gudeg, buntil, pecel, martabak, many kind of "nasi" (nasi bogana, nasi langi, nasi uduk, nasi hainam, etc) :)

Penang Restaurant

Roti Canai

I tried "Roti Canai" again last weekend, this time I went to "Penang Restaurant" located at Tanjung Duren Road. and I insisted to order "roti canai with chicken curry" 16.5K again to compare it with the one I had at "Penang Place", the Curry turned out much more spicy than "penang place", and the roti is more firm & oily but still don't resembled what I ate at KL. I think I'll continue to search for "roti canai" whenever I went to Malaysian restaurant.

Roti Canai
Posted by jeny at 8:12 PM
Last Friday, I tried this "roti canai with chicken curry" (18K) at Penang Place - Plaza Indonesia. When the waiter taking my order, she asked me whether I want the "Roti Canai" soft or crispy, and I said firm. When it came, the dish looks so crispy, I asked the waiter again and she said it was the soft one. I'm rather disappointed - its so different from the one I hat in Penang or KL, I think Roti Canai suppose to be soft and a little bit oily, and the curry tasted too sweet.

[CLOSED] ChatterBox Cafe
Posted by jeny at 4:32 PM
2 weeks ago we had dinner with some friends at "ChatterBox Cafe". Its been a long2 time ago since I last visited this place (maharani bo!). But this time they have "dailycious" program which gave 20% off for BII card holder, so we decided to gave it a try.

When I was here before I usually choose their Hainanese Chicken Rice, but this time I saw there's alot of new menu including some pasta selection, sandwich & Indian fried rice. so we ordered : "seafood with green noodle and cheese sauce" (served with prawn, dory fish and spinach noodle) 54.5K, "seafood clay pot" (served with rice) 46.5K, "kung po chicken" (served with rice and vegetable) 38K, "hainanese chicken rice" 34K, "chicken, prawn or fish curry" (served with rice, potato and curry sauce) 43K, "szechuan tau foo" (served with rice and vegetable) 30K, "es kacang" (shaved ice on red beans, jelly sweet corn and palm seeds flavored with rose syrup and durian ice cream) 19.5K & bottom less ice tea (free flow) 19K.

Overall the taste was not bad, better than I remembered. Good service & the price *sigh* yah OK lah but still a little bit "mahal" lah.. and I didn't like the interior, its like sitting in a glass cage :P

Beston's Fresh Fish Soup
Posted by jeny at 2:01 PM
About 2 weeks ago, on our way to Carrefour Puri Indah, we stopped by a restaurant located at Jl. Pesanggrahan (in front of Hero Srengseng). The restaurant decorated in a simplicity with wooden chair. This was our second visit, and this time we ordered : "Sapo Sop Ikan Segar" (clear milk fish soup) 24K, and "Tahu Goreng Mintan" (Japanese beancurd served with sweet and sour sauce) 16.5K and for drinks I ordered "Es Teh Romantis" (sweet ice tea with a little hint of vanilla essence). To me the taste of food here is so honest, fresh & delicious. There are two types of fish choices : Bandeng & Tenggiri, and can be cooked in clear soup or hot & sour soup. There were so many types of food I want to taste here like : Ikan Bandeng Cabut Tulang bumbu Kelimutu 35K, Kuah Ikan Asam Pedas (with bandeng 24K / tenggiri 18.5K), Nasi Unagi ala Beston 25K, Kangkung Belacan 12K etc. but I'll leave it to next time :)

Last week, I had a one day trip to Bogor with some of my colleague galls, its almost lunch time when we arrived and we stopped by Kafe Mangiare [baca : manjare] for lunch. my friend, Febi recommended this place to us.

Tabona & Sawasdee
Posted by jeny at 11:09 AM
Bihun Kari AyamOne of the food I tried in Medan last holiday was Bihun Kari Ayam (Chicken Curry served with rice noodle) at RM Tabona. I insisted to have lunch here the first day I arrived. RM Tabona served a delicious Chicken Curry & Beef Curry, usually eaten with rice or bihun. The curry tasted so different from the one I tried at Padangnese restaurants. It tasted richer and spicier.

Putu Bambu & Putu Mayang
Posted by jeny at 3:43 PM
Last night on our way home, SC & I stopped by a small road side cafe for dinner. The place have some food cart that sell various meal such as "nasi goreng, mee goreng, etc", "sate padang", "pisang goreng" and "putu". after browsing around we decided to order 2 portion of kwetiaw goreng ( so standard - nothing special :( ) and then SC ordered putu for dessert.

Putu is one of Indonesian traditional cake, there is 2 type of putu available here : Putu Bambu (make from salted coconut-milk with a lump of palm-sugar in the center of the dumpling and then steamed in a container made from bamboo shoot), "Putu Mayang" ( made from steamed rice-cake pressed through a perforated mould and thus resembling vermicelli, which is sprinkled with shredded coconut and palm sugar), both was very delicious usually eat while still warm, can be found at traditional market, usually at night, or sometimes you could found it in a wheeled cart that past through you house. (sorry no pic :P I forgot to bring my cam, will try to get the pic if I have putu as soon as possible )

We visited 3 different chinese restaurant at MTA last week and tried 3 kind of noodle they served. The first restaurant was "Noodle Cafe" - very crowded, we ordered "egg noodle with wonton & roast duck" (21.5K) , have to waited for half an hour just to know they put the wrong order on our table :( the food taste was not very special, not recommended lah :(

After that we noticed that there is a new restaurant opening called "Huang Ting", operated under the same management with "The Duck King" and "Imperial Chef", so we decided to tried it next time we go to MTA, last night we came there and ordered "Noodle Soup with Shui Jiau Wonton"(26K). not bad - for that price, the noodle texture was perfect.. mmm after that we ordered "Xiao Long Bao"(16.8K).. delicious... i'll be back hehehe :),

My Fav Breakfast
Posted by jeny at 12:26 PM
I have planning to write about all my fav breakfast for a long time but never had time to do it untill now, below are some of my fav breakfast meal that can be found near my place.
Ketupat Sayur Padang"Ketupat Sayur Padang" (Padangnese Style Rice Cake)Located at Slipi Jaya Traditional Market parking lot, I always bought this at least once a week on my way to office. The meal was simply delicious for me, because of its rich coconut paste, if you like hot & spicy meal then you must be like it, but some of my friend prefer "Ketupat Sayur Betawi" (Betawi style Rice Cake).
Nasi GemukNasi Gemuk (coconut rice in Jambi style), can be found at Jl. KH Syahdan (near Bina Nusantara University), tasted a bit like "Nasi Uduk/Nasi Lemak" but in a different twist. the rice was topped with chicken slice a half piece of boiled egg.
Mi CelorMi Celor (Jambi Style Noodle in shrimp sauce) can be found at the same place at "Nasi Gemuk", tasted like "Eer Mie" (from Medan). Very tasty, topped with chicken slice & boiled Egg.

I visited "Canton Bay" again at Mall Taman Anggrek last Friday night, that night the restaurant wasn't very crowded, so I was hopping that the service would be improve :)

That night we decided to have a light dinner, so we only ordered Plain Noodle(9K), Stewed Fish "Wulam" Style in Sapo(23K), Caimiaw with Garlic(16.8K), Pigeon Soup(14K), Chicken Herbal Soup(14K) and Chinese Tea Chrysanteum (5K). The food turn out not bad, though the chicken herbal soup tasted a little bit plain in my oppinion. the stewed fish was supperb. :)

Mangkok Putih : the noodle bar
Posted by jeny at 12:26 PM

Last night we had dinner at Mangkok Putih located at Setiabudi Building. The restaurant was decorated in the usual cafe decoration with a touch of red accent. I don't really like the place setting, I think it's a little bit too crowded, no separation between smoking and no smoking area. :(

After seated we ordered 2 Duck Noodle(27K), Tempura Udon(35K), MP Fried Seafood Kweteow (26K), MP Fruit Cocktail (10K), Lime Squash(12.5K), Lime Juice(12.5K) and Guava Juice(12.5). One of the house speciality that we ordered last night was "Duck Noodle", I agree that the duck was delicious, but the rest of our order didn't taste very special. mmm I ate at Mangkok Putih @ Cilandak Town Square once, and I think their food quality is better than this one.

Pasar Kopro
Posted by jeny at 4:44 PM

Last weekend I went to Pasar Kopro (Kopro Traditional Wet Market) located at West Jakarta. I always pass through this place but never had a chance to visit it, but from what I heard this market sell a lot of bangka food.

That day I ate Mie Bangka (Bangka style chicken & pork noodle) Choipan, Tahu kok, otak2 bangka saos tauco (Bangka Style Cake served with soybean sauce), otak2 tim (Steamed Fish Cake), dried bilis fish, lempah nanas (kind of sweet & sour soup with pineapple), Lempa Darat, Ng Sang (tasted like a Thai vegetable salad with peanut sauce, but actually contained raw tenggiri fish), We also had soya milk and green bean juice. In my opinion the food was nice but not very special, but anyway it was a new experience for me :)

Last thursday, we had lunch at a Manado restaurant called "Waroeng Chamoe-Chamoe" located at Sudirman CBD. I love to eat at Manado restaurant very much since they always serve very very spicy food (I love spicy food) hehehe..

The restaurant was decorated in warm and cozy indonesian ethnic athmosphere. It was very full with people when we arrived there and since we didn't make a reservation earlier we had to wait. After waited about 15-20 minutes to be seated, we ordered "Kuah Asam Bobara" (spicy & sour 'bobara' fish soup), "Ayam Woku Balanga" (spicy chicken cooked in 'woku' style), "Bunga Papaya Cakalang" (stir fried papaya flower & 'cakalang' fish), "Perkedel Jagung" (fried corn croquette) accompanied with "Dabu Dabu" sauce. Very tasty indeed.. hot, sour, and spicy combined into one dish. Selamat Makan :)

The taste was not very special but since its cheap & near my place it was worth to try lah... in my oppinion I like "Ayam Bakar Raymond" more than this one, they got the best & hottest "sambel" I had ever tasted :) so next stop we're going to "Ayam Bakar Raymond".. Selamat Makan :)

1st day @ Kisaran
Posted by jeny at 9:53 AM

Sunday morning, I want to had "Bihun Bebek" (Duck Bihun) for breakfast. So we went to my Mom friend's place who served the best "Bihun Bebek". And the food is as good as I remembered, what make it special is the soup that contained a lot of chinese herbs that make it tasted unique & special, very delicious :) Their other specialities is "Sapo" (every meal cooked using a separate Claypot), every monday they served Tom Yam Sapo, but it was already gone by the time we arrived there. :)

For lunch, my brother took me on his motorcycle and we headed to a small village (Gambir Baru) not far from "Kisaran". My Brother said there is the bigest Bataknese community there (you can know it from counting how many church in that village.. more than 10 I guess :)). At there we headed to a small restaurant located at people court yard. From out side you already can tell that this was a very popular restaurant, there is alot of car parked along side of the street, and the restaurant was very crowded. They only served 3 types of meal there : "Panggang" (Roast pork), "Saksang" and "Arsik" (traditional Bataknese meal). That afternoon they already run out of "Arsik" (fish), so we ordered 2 portion of "Panggang", a portion of "Saksang", all of them comes with white rice and clear pork soup. hehehehe... the tasted was very delicious ... and from the visitor you can tell that the people eating there was not the local people but from "Kisaran", in fact most of it was from the chinese ethnic. hehehehe... what a place ..

Last saturday, the first thing pop in my head after we arrived at Medan, North Sumatra is where are we going to have lunch. I insisted my Mom to take me to "Bakmie Kumango". So We headed there, and I ordered my usual plate of "Chicken Noodle" while my Mom ordered "Chicken Hainamnese Rice". The noodle is not as delicious as I remembered, maybe because of my high expetation. but It still the best noodle I have ever taste. Bon Apetit :)

After lunch we headed to "Pasar Ramai". Its a popular traditional market in Medan, Lots of foods (off course :)) and other goods hehehehe. After we circling the market for about 1 hour, I felt thirsty. So we stopped at some food stall and ordered Es Sekoteng, Es Cendol and He Ci (fried prawn, tofu, kangkung served with sour and sweet sauce). mmm... quite good. Actually there is still alot of food available there, such as e-mie, wonton noodle, nasi campur etc, but since I just had lunch I can't ordered them all hehehehe...
That night on my way back home to my hometown "Kisaran" (about 3-4 hours from Medan), We stopped at "RM 100", located at Jalan raya Medan Kisaran km 100. This is quite a popular restaurant according to my mom, they served alot variety of seafood for us to choose. So We ordered "Grilled Bawal Fish", "Grilled Pare Fish", Udang Tauco (stir fried prawn with fermented soybean sauce), and "Cah Kangkung". mmm not bad... Selamat Makan :)

Duck Bihon
Posted by jeny at 9:45 AM

It's been so long since I last eat Duck Bihon (Rice Vermicelli serve with steam duck and clear soup), everywhere I go I always look for this kind of food. One of my favorite bihun bebek was back at my home town, but last night I had an opportunity to tried bihon bebek at Mangga Besar. In my oppinion the taste was not very special, different from what I was looking for.. not using chinese herbs in its ingredients, but OK lah... can't wait to tried Bihun Bebek Kumango at Medan - North Sumatra this weekend. :)

[CLOSED] Shilin
Posted by jeny at 2:05 PM

Last friday, we had lunch at Shilin restaurant. From the restaurant name you can know that this restaurant was specialized in Taiwanese Cuisine. The name "Shilin" was taken from the famous Shilin night market in Taiwan.

The restaurant interior wasn't very special, after seated we ordered "Taiwanese Chicken Fried Vermicelli" and "Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice". All the food comes with a small bowl of chicken broth soup and sugar cane juice. In my oppinion the food was lack of salt, a a little bit tasteless but worth to try lah :) Bon Apetit.
