The name sounds ordinary. “Sulaiman Restaurant. Chinese Muslim.” I mean, in Indonesia it’s not that uncommon to have halal Chinese cuisine, right? But this time it surprises me. This was no ordinary Chinese cuisine and it was actually my first time experiencing Xinjiang cuisine. I remembered how excited I was, when I saw their neon bright signage along with both Chinese and Arabian font:

First post of 2013, cheers to that! Feels like i have heaps of stories to share, but let's take a slow turn and look back at 2012 (mostly because I still feel indebted somehow :p).
Read More…I woke up today with question in my head: what is the difference between congee and porridge? I thought they're the same until I remember, hey internet's my best friend! So here's from wikipedia:

They have just opened new branch in Alam Sutera BSD, which is quite near from home. And during their soft opening last month they gave us 55% discount! Even without the big cut-offs, in my opinion their prices are very reasonable, with good quality of food being served and fresh ingredients. So in a nut shell, yes, IT'S VERY RECOMMENDED.

So we decided to try it out for lunch on Christmas Day (late post, i know, sorry about that..).

Read More…Usually me and my foodie friends only mingle if there's a foodtasting/foodblogger gathering somewhere. But last week we did much further, it's our first foodie night ever! (with no sponsor :p) And it's a Spanish Food night! Couldn't get any better than that.
Read More…Just like the previous post about Tokyo Dog, this time I'm using Disdus voucher (again) to try out Kamikaze Karaage. Cheapskate, I know! Haha. I guess I just can't help it, being a daily deal hunter. If it means you get to broaden your culinary experience by paying half the price, then why not? :)
