Disclaimer: My ‘best’ might be different from your ‘best’. But if you’re curious with mine, read on.
Having lived in Bandung for 4 years during college, I never really looked up for Gudeg. True story. Because it’s not really the staple food for Sundanese, in here we would prefer Chicken Noodles (Yamin) or Siomay or Batagor instead. But when that substantial craving kicked in, usually I’d go to popular Gudeg places in Jalan Riau (R.E. Martadinata).

Read More…A Hidden Japanese Gem Called "Sumiya"
Who would have thought that in STC (Senayan Trade Center) there is an actual Japanese restaurant worth eating? Hidden among the bustle of electronics & air soft-gun shops at the Ground Floor, this is exactly where Sumiya is located. Sumiya is said to be an authentic Japanese restaurant and I’ve heard some really good praises on it in social media. But just how ‘authentic’ is authentic? I went there on some dinner time to find out.

I was looking at some old photos collection on my hard-drive and realized that I need to post about this favorite steak place of mine. It’s not a fancy steak restaurant, you can dress up as casual as you want and just bring your appetite, and they will take care of your meat craving. Meet SUPER STEAK.

Being on a 3D2N trip, I managed to go to the Jamboree twice, at Sunday night and Monday whole day. Located at the F1 Pit Paddock area, WSFC Jamboree occupies a really spacious venue, I must say, that the crowd seems to look more scattered and sprawled. In WSFC 2013 Jamboree feast, there were over 44 different kinds of foods from 37 food stalls from 10 countries: Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, India, China, United States, Mexico, and Denmark.

Wow, I don’t know where to start. It’s been over 2 weeks since my WSFC (World Street Food Congress) trip to Singapore, until I finally decided that I owe this blog some nice, thorough post about the whole journey.

Have you tried Acehnese cuisine? Aceh is a special region located at the northern end of Sumatra, which also denotes the westernmost province of Indonesia. Culinary-wise, Aceh is highly influenced by peranakan Malay / Arab / Indian cuisine, which translated into lots of herb & spices usage in cooking and it's mostly curry heavy like other Sumatra regions e.g. Padang. Few samples of Aceh cuisine that I could think of: Ayam Tangkap, Sambal Ganja, Mie Kepiting Aceh, Kuah Pli'u, Timphan, etc.

Some bits of history first:
Have you heard of Babacucu.com? If you happen to be a freebie hunter you should really check them out (this is not a sponsored statement :p). It stands for "Bagi bagi cuma cuma", which literally means that this is a giveaway portal that accommodates people who wants to give something for FREE & vice versa, people who wants to look for freebies without much effort. It chooses the winner randomly (I think ~ can't figure out if they're using special philanthropy algorithm or not). It's super random, I know, haha, but think of it as testing your luck.

On Tuesday, I was having a regular Lync concall at the office when my phone kept ringing for about 4 times from 021-xxxxxxx. I was nearly like, "Okay this shouldn't be just another credit card phone scam, this might be somewhat important". And so my boss told me to pick up the phone; so I paused our meeting and I answered.
