Oliver's Hostelry Bandung


Northern Bandung known for its cool weather, the highland with fresh air, cold water, and shady trees. This city is different than some other, special because of the creative people. Located not too far from Parahyangan University, the access is from Ciumbuleuit. Oliver's Hostelry is a new accommodation from Maja Group. Front look is dominated with brick wall and a touch of green. Far away from hostel with dormitory and shared bathroom, they have 18 rooms that each has different theme. Youthful, homy hostelry with a beautiful lobby.



Their insta-worth lobby is definitely a nice spot to take your next profile picture. Classic yet chic, wooden floor, the unusual stool was very eye-catching. Windows are wide open during the day, there's no reason to not sit there enjoying the breeze, with your company and a cup of tea or coffee. 



The Northern Sky is the favorite room, green bed sheet, comfy double bed, pretty painted wall, star gazing in room is possible. Again, it surprised me when I came to the bathroom, well-decorated with white and wood domination, clean towel, and toiletries are provided too. 



It will cost you around IDR 500k per night on weekday and IDR 550k for the weekend including breakfast for two. But you surely can get better deal by making in advance booking through online travel agency, such as Agoda. My last checking was around IDR 350k. Big hotels commonly serve all you can eat breakfast, while here you can get cereals with milk or typical Indonesian breakfast, fried rice with fried egg. Coffee, tea, and fruits were included. How they prepare breakfast was very special to me, pretty attractive using big wooden tray. It is possible to enjoy your cute breakfast in room or at the lobby, I find their outdoor seating is perfect for morning scene.



An alternative if you feel bored staying at a "common" hotel. Definitely a recommended place for short getaway to Bandung. Beautiful, youthful, and homy. Friendly service, comfy room at affordable price. Home for the next trip in Bandung.

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
