Few weeks ago, a team from ICDC (Innovation for Community Development Center) Indonesia contacted me on a subject of product review inquiry. Usually I don’t get this excited when doing sponsored review, but this one’s quite different. What’s different is...
Read More…Poke Grill is the 5th establishment under Poke Group, the company that owns all-Poke brands including Poke Sushi & Poke Express. Located at Rukan Permata Senayan, it occupies quite a small space to accommodate only 30-40ish guests. It has this typical Japanese ambiance hinted with wooden décor and an indoor open-kitchen concept, so you can see the whole grilling process.
Read More…It’s the end of September already and while I was looking back at last year’s blog posts, turns out that today coincide with my Seattle Trip coverage and I can’t believe I only had 1 post about it. That just felt plain wrong. True that Pike Place Market is the soul of Seattle but there is so much more to that. Other than the infamous-yet-nasty Seattle’s Gum Wall, let’s not forget that Pike Place is the birthplace of the largest coffeehouse chain in the world: Starbucks. And it contributes to the renowned fact that Seattle is always listed as one of the Top 10 Coffee Capital of the world.

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.

And as a loyal cronut hunter I just couldn’t miss reporting my findings as a follow-up to my dear readers (well, if there is such thing ;). As far as this post is written, I had only found 3 places: at Publico, Union, and Goldfrance Bakery at Pasaraya Blok M. Rumor also has it that Vineth Bakery owned by Wongso's family in Panglima Polim is also going to launch their version, but haven't heard any updates.
Read More…This is a long pending event coverage but I feel like I should share about this particular restaurant. It started when RMJ (RumahMakanJakarta.com) invited me to their first gathering few months ago – that was when I found out about Jeans Chilli Chicken ..
Read More…I first got introduced to the world of liquid nitrogen ice cream when I went to Sydney last year. My dear friend Irene started this mouthwatering post on a parlor called “N2 Extreme Gelato”, and so I urged her to take me there once I got there. Back then, the whole thing literally BLEW my mind. Seeing how ice creams are made in less than five minutes, along with the fizzy-smokey entertainment as if it just came out of a chemical lab, with everyone dressed in white coat – every element that made this concept so unique is just a kind of breakthrough in food industry, and a new food attraction that explains the long queue since everyone is just curious to try them out.
Read More…When was the last time you’ve drooled so much over a culinary article, or videos on the internet?
This article, along with this particular article made me go crazy about ‘Nasi Bebek Madura’. And I knew the ambitious side of me wouldn’t let anything stands between me & a plateful of those spicy duck feast.
