Easily New Favorite Sushi Restaurant: UMAKU!

Okay, if you follow me on Twitter you'll notice how often i brag about my new favorite sushi joint called Umaku. 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.

A Great Tasty Korean Dining Experience: SamWon House

You all should know by now that I'm a big sucker for daily-deal sites such as Groupon Disdus and LivingSocial (previously Deal Keren). And when they have 50% promo for Korean restaurant that fits the area that I'm familiar with (read this as South Jakarta), give me one good reason not to buy it :)

Authentic & Affordable Italian: Signora Pasta

Found out about this newly opened Italian restaurant called Signora Pasta from fellow foodies. So we decided to try it out for lunch on Christmas Day (late post, i know, sorry about that..). By the way, just a warning, this restaurant is located in Cirendeu, not sure that you guys ever heard of this area before, but yes, it's not exactly the area people usually looking for when they're craving some authentic Italian cuisine.

Pandan Village Food Tasting

Happy super duper belated new year 2012!

These past few weeks since mid December 2011 have been really hectic & filled with long nights of coding and work-related. I feel like i owe this blog tons of late-posts. Now that we finally have a long weekend I should really begin to start posting again.

New Outlet Foodtasting: Mr. Curry @ Pondok Indah Mall 2

It's only been eleven days since December started and I already have 5 blogposts & 2 upcoming food-tasting schedule. I guess 2011 is the year of prosperity? YES, and it's also a sign of the universe telling me that I should sign up to the nearest gym :)

A Night to Remember: Spanish Food Night at Tapas Movida

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.

Kamikaze Karaage - Chicken Wings Madness!

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? :)

Tokyo Dog: Japanese-Style Hot Dog is in Town!

Tried out this new Japanese Hotdog booth in Plaza Senayan using Groupon Disdus voucher, right one week before it expired. The place is a bit tricky to find, and as it was written on the address: "B1 Fl Unit A 2 F, Plaza Senayan Jakarta" - which turns out that it's located on Sogo's Basement.

Ta Wan, A Family Restaurant That Never Gets Old

Just how many of you lived in Jakarta since 1996 & haven't heard of Ta Wan? Unless you don't go to the malls that often in 15 years (which can't be possible :p), or you're simply alergic to chinese food.

Ramadhan Rhapsody: "Buka Bareng Blogger" at Katsusei GI

Last Friday, 19th Aug 2011 i was invited to a foodblogger gathering "Buka Bareng Blogger" organized by Grand Indonesia Shopping Town (GIST), with several acknowledged sponsors such as Multiply ID, Fimela.com and participating restaurants: Tairyo, Katsusei, and Jun Njan. I couldn't make it to the Tairyo event, so i attended Katsusei one week later.
