Been
to Mujigae a couple of times but since it’s the first time that I did a proper
photo taking and actually pay attention to the menus, here I am doing a review.
I guess better late than never ait? #defensive Truthfully
speaking, the Korean wave is not at its peak comparing to the few years before,
but I don’t think it’s ending anytime soon and that has impacted our culture in
(for me) delicious way, one of it is the existence of Mujigae! I guess if
you’re really into Korean or specifically, Korean food enthusiast, then I am
pretty sure that at least you’ve been here once before.
If you
guys follow me on Instagram, you must notice that I just came back from my
Bandung trip, it’s actually a media trip held by Hilton Bandung, and I went with
some bloggers and media that I actually am friends with! Sometimes when it’s a
short trip, it’s just nice to travel with the people you know, so you don’t
waste your time getting to know people that might not leave the best
impressions. In the mood to write so I guess I’ll write a little part of my
experience and save the rest for the upcoming posts.
It’s
like forever since the last time I write an article about Indonesian restaurant
and here I am doing one. As an avid fan of duck, it’s actually not very hard to
find decent ducks in Jakarta as I rarely find bad ones here and one of them is
this AMAZING duck restaurant that I went to few weeks back called Bebek Malio
Tebet.
If there's an award for the tardiest food blogger then I'm going to win it! I visited Singapore back in January but I haven't blogged even half of my trip there T__T, the thing is, I travel each and every month and the events in Jakarta are literally each and every week plus advertorial posts in order to keep this blog alive, plus lack of diligence plus whatever...
Went
to Spumante earlier today after noticing it from Ivy’s blog. Spumante is this
newly opened restaurant located in Menteng and exactly beside Anomali coffee
shop and not too far from Bunga Rampai. I was
quite impressed already by how they designed exterior, but not so much on the
signage, I found that a little too small comparing to the ratio of the building, and God I hope that’s not the final
execution. You’ll be greeted by monochrome color (from the window and wall) and
the green colored door, but as once I stepped inside, I was even more impressed.
I’ve
mentioned so many times how kiasu I can be whenever there are new places
opening and I am proud enough to admit that I am one, but Puri - the neighborhood in West Jakarta - is an exception, has never been my favorite area and I tend to be a
little careless whenever there are new places opening in Puri, actually the
reasons are pretty personal, and when I think about it again and again they’re
quite silly. First, it’s kind of far from where I live, but then I realize I
would be very happy to drive all the way to Kemang, where in distance comparison,
actually further than Puri (I live in West FYI), but the thing that irks me the
most, is the fact that Puri’s actually located halfway to my college. For some
reasons, I NEVER really like my college moments, my college was like the darkest
moments in my life, and in a way, the moments that taught me to keep my head up
and freaking face the life, and I have to thank the past as it creates who I am
at the moment, the personality that I am VERY VERY GRATEFUL for, almost like a
newborn! I think I’m going to need one single post to tell you everything and
maybe some time in the future.
Instead
of #AkhirnyaAdaDiSerpong, my case was pretty much #AkhirnyaGueKesini! Been
wanting to visit Turning Point for quite sometime, well, I am a coffee liker, I
wouldn’t say I am in the state where I am worthy to be called “enthusiast”
(probably in the previous posts I’ve mentioned it) because I don’t have that
deep knowledge about coffee (just some basics like balance and acidity), but I
like having coffee.
This
will be a short review about this newly opened Japanese restaurant in Pantai
Indah Kapuk named Mottomoo. I wasn’t exactly in the mood to take a lot of
pictures as I went here right after I landed on the airport from Bangkok (more
stories about Bangkok coming very soon!).
Not
much to say but a lot to be grateful about! Totally one of the most astonishing
moments among my blogging adventure! Thank you God for this amazing chance and cheers to many more good things to come
<3. AMEN!
Special thanks for Hell's Kitchen Indonesia! The taping was really fun <3.
First
of all, the first few paragraphs is my thought, not exactly about this
particular restaurant.
I’ve
always loved eating, I think you guys know about it.
I love
exploring new places, I think you guys clearly know about it, and how kiasu I
can be whenever there are new places opening, but lately I’ve been thinking and
wondering if I am really enjoying the scene. I know I am happy wandering around
Jakarta and eat, but lately I don’t know if me, personally really entertained
with all those glamorous new restaurants opening and what they have to offer,
because frankly speaking, I am quite hard to be impressed but when I do, I will
rave so much about it.
Three weeks away from Jakarta and the F&B scene is
going crazy rapid! My radar noticed six new restaurants opening that I haven't
visited. You know I've mentioned so many times how I love visiting new places,
but it's an exception when it comes to travelling, OMG I obviously prefer
travelling and breathe that different air, I don't know why but I feel pretty
stressed with all the works in town, I really need to change how I see about
the city or else I'll be very bored and lost interest about it, it feels like
this city is my favorite "eating" and "working" site, and
not more than that, but hey, positively thinking, the "eating" part
is not bad :""").
If you've been to Singapore and happened to see quite a long queue at
this particular restaurant but haven't got the chance to try it, well, rest
assure as NamNam Noodle Bar, the Vietnamese restaurant brand made famous in
Singapore is now in Jakarta. It's such a smart move to place itself at the
growing and posh PIK area and located strategically next to SumoBoo! I attended
their grand opening last week and here I am covering it for you my dearest
readers.
Doesn’t it bother you that you can’t have this simply
because you have “Dentin Hypersensitivity”? As you guys probably know, Dentin
Hypersensitivity or more widely known as “sensitive teeth” is currently one of
the most common dental problems, so when you have something cold like ice or
ice dream desserts, you’re most likely to experience that short sharp pain like
“zzzzz” or “ngingiiiiiing” and that’s obviously not the most pleasant isn’t it?
Ola my dearest most lovable readers, yes I am talking to
you!
I have been constantly travelling for the past three weeks
and I am sorry not sorry for kind of abandoning this blog for a while. I always
bring my laptop wherever I go, but most of the times, when the night comes, the
tireness strikes and all you want to do is just to take a quick shower and go
straight to bed...and on repeat along the trip.
BOARD BOARD BOARDDD!!!!!!!!!! I don’t know why lately I’ve
been petty lazy with the same old borin topics I just wanna lay in my bad...NO!
Since I a.m. quite bored with the restaurant review posts, I
want to make some fun radnom posts for eatandtreats readers! This won’t be a
regular weakly post but I am filling like one right now. So many thinks and foot
worth writing about but since this is Monday, I am going to the mall to show
you sum of the interesting staff that Ive been through some time ago!
Lest start with THE MSOT EXCITING TIME OF THE YEAR happening
last month: No, not Valentine, it’s CHINESE LUNAR NEW YEAR!
I was
the most ignorant person when it comes to cooking and stuff, don’t misunderstood me, I’ve always loved food and my love
for food was the reason I started this blog. At my early days of blogging, all
I knew was “delicious” or “not-so-delicious”, I didn’t have any clue about the
name of the ingredients or the way to cook certain food, but along the way, I
found that important and indeed experience is THE BEST teacher! I managed to
develop a better knowledge for ingredients, food, process and eventually a more
advanced palate.
I
personally think it’s neccesary (especially when you love food) to have that
knowledge for ingredients and all that cooking matters. Hey! A little knowledge
wouldn’t hurt anyone ;).
If
you’ve been following this blog, I think you knew that lately I’ve been
addicted to baking and sharing withyou guys the
recipes! I must say you’re quite familiar with this?
Sharedthis recipe
a while ago, in case you haven’t read it, it’sHERE.
As
fortunate as I can be, I also have the best companion when it comes to cooking:
MOM.
My mom
is the greatest home cook I think I’ve ever personally known. I’d say so
because she’s not only cooking with recipes, but more so
because those recipes are in her and she’s been cooking with her heart
for the family. The strongest reason to it is because her cookings ALWAYS make
me miss home whenever I’m travelling.
Oh,
I also cooked with her for this year’s CNY! My family has this tradition where
all of the family members have to eat together at home on the Chinese New Year’s eve.
In
some cases, home cook food are the best, aren’t
they?
Even
though I like cooking, I actually prefer those with simple cooking
methods and less utensils needed (so less cleaning is needed too) :p, no but honestly
for the sake of good cooking, I wouldn’t mind doing the cleaning.
Recently
cooking this simple hearty ramen! Yum checked!
Cooking this was actually very simple! Will hand you the recipe
soon!
I have so many inspirations when it comes to
cooking, most of the times when I have my spare time, I like to do some
blogwalking to some of the best cooking blog or general food blogs. I also like
to browse the Instagram looking for shooting inspirations, watch cooking show
like Masterchef US or Australia (or in Indonesia, Masterchef Indonesia), Hell’s
Kitchen, and many more! If I skipped them there’s always YouTube! LOL.
BTW
speaking of Masterchef, this famous TV show which has been expanding its
franchise in 40 countries, is currently in search of that first ever talent to
win the title of Masterchef Asia! For those of you who are 18 years old or older,

Singapore Tourism Board and Knorr, in association with
Panasonic and Changi Airport Group. The filming

kinda draws the line on that, as long as you are this aspiring cook who wants
to be (a possibly) game changer in the future ;).

This post is going to be a quick update of my specta-cular-cles
diary. In case you didn’t read my previous post, so here’s the thing: I have
been constantly using my glasses ever since I discovered Transitions®
Signature™ adaptive lenses, and when I say constantly, I mean every single
freaking day. The amazing feature of this lens is the capability to adapt with
the UV light sensitivity and it will darken out as soon as the lens detected
the UV, and it will darken more as the UV value gets stronger. AWESOME NOT?
HELLO GUYS!!! Sorry for haven’t been blogging lately! I am in between crazy hectic days and just getting back from
my marvelous marvelous trip in Surabaya. OMG I really can’t wait to show you
the diary! I am planning to write the whole experience into one post, but yes
it will cost me a lot of hours to edit all the pictures and do the writing! But
if you follow me on Instagram, you’ll get the quick picture, stay tuned for the
whole loaded post!
