Ayam Geprek Istimewa Bogor


Ayam Geprek Istimewa Bogor: Kuliner Wajib di Bogor - A Modest Place To Eat For Everyone

One of the things that I really like when it comes to this city, foods are quite affordable, it's palatable but not cheap in flavor. I've been living in Bogor since I was a little, it's a place with a very slow development to be compared with some other cities around Jakarta and applied in culinary scene too. De'Leuit might be more popular among Jakartans and tourists but as Bogor citizen, I'd like to introduce Ayam Geprek Istimewa. Not a new name, established in 2001 from a small rumah makan in Bangbarung area. While 'ayam' means chicken in Bahasa Indonesia, ayam geprek is fried chicken that smashed using a stone pestle though here it's different from Yogyakarta version of ayam geprek, the battered American style fried chicken and smashed until shattered. 

Though Ayam Geprek is the main menu but personally I prefer their Ayam Goreng Legit (IDR 14.000). Delicate fried chicken with all the spice infused into the meat, savory sweet and salty, surely a finger licking good one. It came with boiled papaya leaves, sliced cucumber, and spicy slightly sweet sambal while the Ayam Geprek served with savory and very spicy sambal. 


Who's into ribs? Here we call it Iga Bakar (IDR 40.000) - ribs BBQ, well marinated, super tender, coated with sweet soy sauce, and it was seriously huge. With the same price at the other place, generally smaller or you will get just a big piece of bone instead of meat. 


Genjer Ebi (IDR 12.000) - probably the most typical veggie in Sundanese food, genjer is a common for stir-frying, it doesn't have strong aroma, taste quite similar to horenso. Cooked just until a little wilted, I did feel the crunch while simple seasoning, onion, chili, and dried shrimp were just right!


The only place in Bogor that have trancam on their menu, though it was not as good as before but still acceptable. Trancam (IDR 10.000) - urap but with raw vegetables. Sliced long beans, cucumber, sprouts, cabbage, lemon basil served with seasoned grated coconut. 


Been here many times, some said it was not as good as years ago, I do agree but still a good place, worth to visit, adore most of their sambal, moreover it's very affordable. Definitely not a fancy Sundanese restaurant though I don't mind, a humble place, that I know every time I go there, I will come out with a happy face. And oh, don't forget to order tempe kemul!

Resep: Salmon Mentai Rice | Beef Shirataki Mentai

Image
It's delicious but really I could not finish one portion, yes thank's to the amount of mayo. So, let's just share.  Mentai Rice , it's actually very easy to make as long as you have kitchen blow torch or use the oven to broil the mentaiko sauce. The sauce itself is made from mayonaise, preferably Japanese mayo like Kewpie and mentaiko (pollock roe / cod roe). If it's hard to find then simply replace it with tobiko (flying fish roe). Please do not skip the fish roe. Anyway, I bought the mentaiko from Tokopedia around IDR 270k for 500 grams, that's a lot, I know. Alternatively, take a look at Papaya Supermarket or other big supermarket as mentaiko is kinda hard to find here. I made 3 dishes with this Mentai sauce, the first one is the one with crabstick served with rice that mixed with nori powder, you can also use furikake. The second is nori rice with salmon aburi. Lastly, sweet and savory beef with garlic butter shirataki noodles. Well, the last one is definite

Resep: Savory Waffle (Pepperoni + Cheddar Cheese) Resep

Image
I've made waffle many times, and I prefer of light and crispy waffle to bread-like waffle. Adding some tapioca flour gives a quite significant result, also separating the egg though mostly I skipped that phase. Anyway, waffles are great with syrup, chocolate, fruits, and ice cream but have you ever tried savory waffle? With bacon, smoked chicken, sausage, cheese, or pepperoni. Freshly made waffles are best, when making waffles make sure that you have all the toppings ready on the table.  Ingredients : 1.5 cup all purpose flour 1 cup tapioca flour 2 eggs 1/2 cup plain yogurt 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp baking soda 1 cup milk 1/4 cup melted butter 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup pepperoni, sliced 1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced 1/4 cup red cheddar cheese, grated salt to taste few tbsp of water, if needed Directions : For the dry mixture, add flour, tapioca, salt, baking soda, and baking powder into a bowl, mix well. In another bowl combine egg, yogurt, melted butter, oil, and milk. Co

Nomz Kitchen & Pastry Grand Indonesia: New Menu

Image
Ones behind Nomz, Arnold Poernomo and Pastry Chef Kim Pangestu. Famous for their sweet treats, but how's the food? At this time, I'd like to introduce some of their new menu. First let's start with something fresh, salad. I've been a fan of Nomz's Tomato Salad for quite a while, now they have two more, Middle Eastern Salad (IDR 80.000) and Fried Calamari Salad (IDR 60.000). Not for everyone, but me as one who really into greens. Calamari salad might suit to people in common, dressed with balsamic lemon, topped with fresh arugula, coriander, and shaved parmesan. My guessing it's balsamic reduction as it's sweeter than balsamic vinegar. Meanwhile, Middle Eastern Salad is actually tabbouleh, usually made using bulgur but they replaced it with quinoa , yes for superfood! Pretty healthy yet fulfill the hunger longer. Have no idea what's quinoa ? Google it, it's 2015, eat your superfood!  Move on to  Nomz Prawn Roll (IDR 105.000) garlic chili prawn, gr
