Favorite Indonesian Food

This week challenge is about Indonesian Food and we have to share about what is our favorite. Hmm... If I have to choose one, the answer is KETOPRAK.

My parents are originally from South Sumatra (mom born in Bandung because my grandpa moved Bandung, but still she is Palembang in her blood) and West Sumatra (dad) and Cumi is from Lhokseumawe, Aceh. Although "Ikan/everything in Balado Style" is always the IT dish on the table––not to mention rendang, pindang, pempek and gulai too––ketoprak has it's own space in my heart; it's always be the choice for my lunch at school beside meatball soup (bakso), especially when I'm in highschool I always ordered it. Even when I pursuing my bachelor degree in Bandung back in the day, I always searching for the nice ketoprak––which always the one that sells in front of my home residence back in Pamulang is the winner. So, for me ketoprak is my lifetime food.

Romantic Middle East Night at Anatolia

Yesterday, we were looking for romantic ambience for our dinner and still in love with middle east theme. Our choice goes to Anatolia, Kemang. It is an authentic turkish restaurant (turkish again, huh?) and the price is more cheaper than the previous place we've visited. The different between them is that one was built by passionate chef and this, in my opinion, built by passionate food & beverage company who established 3 amazing fine dining restaurant in Jakarta (Anatolia for Turkish Cuisine, Maroush for Moroccan Cuisine, and Front Page for Indian Cuisine)––actually we want to go to Maroush. But since it's located in Crowne Plaza, we felt it would be too "serious" for us who still wanted to enjoy the restaurant's ambience and some laughable conversation.

Bakoel Koffie, Kopi dan Pisang Goreng

Awal bulan maret dimulai dengan weekend! yaaay. Tapi sayangnya tanggal merah di bulan ini jatuh pada hari sabtu, ngga ada deh yang namanya libur kejepit, huhu. Dulu waktu kuliah di Bandung hampir setiap hari saya ke cafe (warung juga, rumah makan padang apalagi!! apapun deh, maklum anak rantau cyint!), apalagi sewaktu skripsi, bisa loh dari pagi sampai malam saya nongkrong di Potluck (kabarnya tempat itu mau tutup! oh no!!!), suatu tempat yang enak banget buat ditongkrongin seharian hehehehe. Kalau udah nongkrong berjam-jam gitu, pasti saya pesannya macem-macem. Mulai dari cemilan, makanan berat, teh, jus, smoothies sampai kopi.
