ALL IN ONE

Pasta is Italian but Macaroni 'n Cheese is American. Cheese sauce made from roux, sharp cheddar cheese, sometimes grated nutmeg included. Some people also like to add dried herbs such as oregano or thyme, to me garlic works really good so instead of adding some herbs, you may want to try garlic. Bread crumbs is just lovely to be put on top of the mac n cheese, it gives crunchy texture. Well, I'm out of bread crumbs at that time, replaced it with grated dry pita bread, yes it works!  Ingredients : 250 gr dry macaroni, cooked by following the package instruction 2 tbsp butter 2 tbsp flour 2 cups milk 2 cups red cheddar cheese couple cloves of garlic, grated panko bread crumbs bacon or beef bacon / smoked beef, sliced grated nutmeg (optional) salt and pepper to taste Directions : In a sauce pan, melt the butter, saute the garlic and bacon (if you're using) Add flour, mix well, pour the milk slowly to prevent lumpy sauce Add the cheese and seasoning Mix the cheese sauce and co

Satu hal yang paling malas dilakukan sebelum traveling ke negara tertentu seperti ke beberapa negara di Asia, juga ke Eropa, yaitu apply visa. Tepatnya ini adalah kunjungan ketiga ke Korea Selatan, sebelumnya karena malas jadi daftar melalui travel agent , dengan biaya yang tidak jauh berbeda. Tapi kali ini, karena penasaran dan ingin tau sendiri jadi akhirnya kali ini daftar sendiri. Sebaiknya apply minimal 2 minggu sebelum keberangkatan, untuk jaga-jaga jika ada dokumen yang kurang lengkap atau dokumen tambahan yang diminta pihak konsulat. Prosesnya pembuatan visa sekitar 5 hari kerja dengan biaya untuk Visa Single Entry (kunjungan 90 hari) sebesar 520.000 rupiah. Dokumen - dokumen yang perlu disiapkan antara lain: Formulir Aplikasi Visa yang sudah diisi, bisa diperoleh disini Paspor Asli dan foto copy, jika baru ganti paspor sertakan paspor lama Pas Foto dengan latar belakang putih, 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm Kartu Keluarga dan foto copy Surat Keterangan Kerja dan SIUP tempat bekerja Surat

Mungkin ada hanya sedikit yang tau atau malah masing asing dengan OpenSnap ? Lain halnya dengan OpenRice yang sudah banyak dikenal sebelumnya, actually   OpenSnap is the new OpenRice . Sebuah website direktori kuliner, paduan untuk mencari restoran, khususnya di Jakarta dan sekitarnya. Tentunya tidak menutup kemungkinan untuk perluasan ke wilayah lainnya di masa yang akan datang. Fitur utama untuk mencari tempat makan berdasarkan kategori tertentu seperti lokasi dan jenis makann. Lebih dari itu, menurutku yang membuah website ini lebih istimewa karena terdapat kategori khusus. Pilihan editor adalah yang paling menarik, misalnya kategori " Durian Paling Nikmat Dan Mantap " yang dapat dijadikan referensi untuk mencari tempat-tempat yang menyajikan durian. Selain itu, untuk yang suka keju, " All About Cheese " dan " Selection Of Martabak " buat yang suka martabak, jadi mencari makanan dengan OpenSnap bisa lebih spesifik pada makanan yang diinginkan.

Another dessert place in north Jakarta, close to Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK), it's Touketsu . There are four flavors to choose, original vanilla, matcha, whiscream, and mint. Firstly, I'm not really into mint flavor so it's definitely the last to choose. How's else, let's find out! Choco Coco is actually chocolate soft ice cream that served in a coconut shell, but there was no chocolate so I asked for matcha. Honestly, I'd rather have original vanilla. You know when it comes to matcha (my favorite), I can be very sensitive. Anyway, the rest was quite delightful, chilled chocolate pudding on the bottom, crushed oreo, crisp waffle. Twin Tower has more attractive appearance, two ice cream of your choice, pudding, crushed peanuts, fruity peebles, it is possible to order twist so you can get four flavor in total.  You could never go wrong with caramel popcorn, even better with vanilla ice cream. It was light, not so creamy, not milky, but soft, and not too sweet, love

A new name from Sari Rasa Group,  1945 Restaurant . The previous Sate Khas Senayan has been very success with branches at almost every shopping mall in Jakarta and around.

The soft opening will be at 17 August 2015, at the same time with Indonesia 70th Independence Day, reservation is needed during the soft opening. Meanwhile, grand opening will on October 1st, 2015.

Another new restaurant in PIK, Jack's Belly . This area is already filled with places to eat, from Korean BBQ to dessert. Does it need more? Quite doubtful, buy hey we always look up for new places that can offer something different. Located at the less crowded Elang Laut, just few shops away from Bakso Aan. Find out that this place have some beers, OK so it's gonna be ' tempat nongkrong ' for young people. More, here are some of the food that I tried earlier. Roasted John Dory Fish (IDR 99.000) served with sides of your choice, I got mashed potato and coleslaw. Fish was nice, big portion, crispy crumbs and squeezed of lemon juice to bring out the flavor. Honestly I prefer tartar sauce as a condiment rather than gravy though mashed potato was good for me. You know, I love potatoes.  Everyone's favorite  Pizza Meatlover (IDR 85.000) super thin crust pizza, tomato sauce the base. For sharing, New York Sampler  (IDR 70.000) consists of sausages, chicken wings, calama

North Jakarta is filled with places serving Chinese Food, you can easily find pork dishes here. Here's a new comer, Porkytiam. Not a restaurant but, a humble eatery around the neighborhood. Not a huge fan of pork, but lately I've been eating like in many different places. It's getting easier to find, even in shopping malls, unlike few years ago that it can only be found in Chinatown district and Lapo. Sate Babi Rempah Daging  (IDR 35.000) well-marinated, slightly sweet, topped with fried shallot.  Sate Babi Kecap Samcan (IDR 45.000) each portion of satay consists of 10 skewers, but it is possible to order half. The guilt feeling when eating this fatty satay, one is more than enough for me. When it comes to satay I prefer leaner meat. Iga Goreng (IDR 48.000) served with green chili sambal , it was not super tender but still chew-able. The mild spices, crispy edges, if only a little more tender. Nasi Khas Porkytiam (IDR 36.000) steamed white rice, topped with sauteed ground

It looks like Shashouka, pretty much the same, poached egg in tomato sauce but classic shashouka has more spices such as cumin, usually has chili peppers in it. Mine is more Italian, as I used bolognese sauce, also works with marinara sauce. Store bought is just fine but if you want to make your own, check out my Marinara Sauce recipe. Ingredients : 1 cup Italian pasta sauce or marinara 1 egg salt n pepper to taste, if needed mozzarella cheese (optional) Directions : Cook the sauce on a pan, season it with salt and pepper (if needed). Add in the egg, cook longer if you want fully cooked egg or less for runny egg yolk. Serve with bread. Find me on: Youtube  and  Instagram   @heytheresia  for daily food and travel updates

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
