New!! LA COSTILLA Bandung

Image
Located in Karangsari a step away from jalan Setiabudi, it's in between Saka Bistro Bar and Vermont. A new spot in Bandung, this place is cute. Feels like in Bali, they have many Insta-worth spot so get your camera ready. Affordable Casual Dining - their tag line, to describe their menu, modern western food with a Spanish-Mexican twist. I'm not talking about burrito or tacos but they have jalapeno poppers and horchata.  Waktu datang kesana udah cukup ramai walaupun masih baru buka, sepertinya akan jadi hits banget karena tempatnya memang lucu untuk foto-foto terutama di bagian belakang dengan design menarik, dominasi putih dan spot #ootd taman kaktus. White painted wall, blue chairs, must say this is my current favorite spot in Bandung. It is not a coffee shop though they have coffee, some mocktails, and yes horchata. Horchata is a rice milk based drink, commonly flavored with cinnamon and vanilla, popular in Latin America countries and also Spain. Horcata Cappuccino Started wi

Resep: Easy Scones Recipe

Scones!! Homemade scones.. sooo good. Freshly baked, the one that just came out from the oven, the smell, sweet fruity jam, lovely companion for a cup of tea. I like my scones soft inside, a bit crumbly outside, with sweetness from raisins, some people add chocolate, nuts, and the other dried fruits. You can cut it into triangles, circles, pretty much as you like. The very important thing to make scones is cold ingredients, especially the butter. You can use milk instead of cream for the liquid but I prefer cream. Do not over mix the dough. I like my scones rustic, brushed with leftover cream on top, and sprinkled with sugar. Bake in the oven at 200 C for 15 - 20 minutes depending on the size of your scones. Ingredients : 1/4 cup raisins 150 ml heavy cream 2 cups cake or pastry flour (low protein) 80 gr cold diced unsalted butter 2-3 tbsp sugar 1 tsp salt 4 tsp baking powder vanilla (optional) Watch the video for the directions the leftover in assorted shapes Find me on: Youtube  and 

Resep: Creamy Mushroom Pasta

Image
A simple and very popular pasta dish, Creamy Mushroom Pasta. Champignon mushroom is the most common, but you can add any mushroom of your choice such as shiitake, shimeji, oyster mushroom, and more. Sometimes, I add bacon, ham, or smoked beef, also some cheese. The most important part is to brown the mushroom before adding the other ingredients. For this recipe I used shiitake which has specific and stronger aroma because I did not put bacon (usually with only champignon). To enhance the flavor, drizzle some truffle oil once it's done, yesss I think I love anything with truffle.  For the pasta, you can use any from short to long pasta, I prefer long pasta. Do not overcook your pasta, follow the directions on the packaging, and drain 1-2 minutes earlier. Personally I like to cook my pasta with the sauce on stove for one to couple minutes, some people prefer to toss the pasta in a pot. Anyway don't rinse your pasta, and always keep some of the pasta water to lighten your sauce (i

Kenali Jenis dan Kegunaan Olive Oil

Pertama kali dengar  olive oil , yang terlintas pasti berhubungan dengan sehat. Ada banyak jenis minyak yang dihasilkan dari tumbuhan seperti minyak kelapa sawit, minyak kelapa, minyak wijen, minyak jagung, minyak alpukat, minyak almond, minyak kedelai, minyak bunga matahari, maupun margarin. Dari semua jenis minyak tersebut  olive oil  memiliki kandungan  paling tinggi lemak baiknya  (Mono Unsaturated Fat ) paling tinggi dan kaya akan zat anti-oksidan. Maka tidak heran selain digunakan untuk memasak  olive oil  juga di manfaatkan untuk kesehatan dan kecantikan.  Ada beberapa jenis tingkatan  olive oil  dan pengunaannya di dapur juga berbeda-beda. Minggu lalu, aku berkesempatan untuk ikut dalam acara memasak bersama  Filippo Berio , sudah pernah dengar? atau malah sering pakai produknya? Aku pribadi memang sudah sering pakai produk  Filippo Berio  terutama Extra Virgin Olive Oil dan Balsamic Vinegar yesss... karena suka banget salad pakai  balsamic dressing , tinggal ditambah sedikit b
