Celebrate Chinese New Year 2016 at Shang Palace, Shangri-la Hotel Jakarta


Welcoming the year of Monkey with early Chinese New Year lunch at Shang Palace, Shangri-la Hotel Jakarta. How does it relate, celebrating Chinese New Year, it's a special occasion for Chinese, the certain time when the whole family come together, sit and savor good foods. Saying it's too early but I'd like to share with you these particular dishes to celebrate Chinese New Year. Started my lunch with something fresh, thirst quencher, Lychee Tea. It was exactly my fifth iced Lychee Tea for the whole week. Unlike the usual, as frequently stick to water or unsweetened tea. 


Shall we start with Deep Fried Prawn? Coated with mayonaise, and accompanied fried prawn ball with foie gras. Prawn mayo was nice, juicy yet not mushy, but mayo was too sweet for my liking. One bite of prawn with a piece of strawberry was outrageously delectable, yes the mouthwatering one.



For the choice of poultry, Crispy Chicken with Mango in Spicy Sauce. Salty savoury chicken combined with tangy and spicy shredded unripe mango, not overly sour but very fresh. 



First impression, sushi! Actually, it's Wok Fried Glutinous Rice with Winter Meat. Rice rolls filled with fish cake and veggies. Personally I prefer stir-fried scallop, asparagus, and shimeji mushroom in the middle, taste better than the appearance.



The ultimate pork dish, everyone's favorite Barbeque Suckling Pig and Jelly Fish. Crispy skin, extremely tender meat, sweet and aromatic hoisin sauce, all you need is a bowl of warm steamed white rice. 



Next, it's Deep Fried King Prawn with Laci Sauce accompanied with Golden Bun, sauce was sweet and not spicy for my liking, prawn was good, and the golden bun was best I could find on the plate, crispy on the outside, soft and chewy mantao-like texture inside. 



Exceptionally scrumptious Baked Lobster with Egg White in Barbeque Sauce, when it came to our table, I thought it was risotto. In fact, a delicate savory egg white, almost like puree, with perfectly cooked lobster and melted cheese on top. Certainly my personal selection among all the dishes during the lunch. 




Special offering for Chinese set menus will be available from 7th February until 22 February 2016, Shang Palace also offers delicacies for takeaway if you prefer to celebrate Chinese New Year at home. Have a prosperous New Year!!

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
