ALL IN ONE

pink guava banana smoothie topped with kiwi berry, muesli, and blueberry OK here comes my favorite smoothie bowl, pretty, healthy. Especially here in Indonesia, is it become popular lately? Well, I've been making it since few years ago, as I am into vegan food and healthy stuffs. It was when I couldn't get superfood easily as today, I used to get it from iherb. One of my fav place to shop nuts, seeds, and some other healthy ingredients is Club Sehat, you can check their website for online shopping or visit their stores in Jakarta, Semarang, Surabaya, and Bali, check the address,  here . I visit Grand Lucky quite often, they also have wide selection of organic products. More places, check out the list down below. Mango Smoothie Tools : High speed blender such as Vitamix and Blendtec. Basically, you can use any blender but why high speed blender better? Because you don't want to process your fruits & veggies for quite long time, the faster the better. I own a Cuisinart bl

My concern about travel destinations, especially related to the nature beauty, mountains, beaches, waterfalls, lately as the big impact of social media, people get way far from their surrounding. Ignorance for the sake of getting good pictures to share on social media. There's nothing wrong with sharing your moments on social media but be wise. For example, few months ago, because of social media exposure, a flower garden in Yogyakarta was damaged because of massive visitors that came there without any concern but taking pictures. As a writer that shares experience, exposes destinations, I personally think I have a responsibility to say it.

Did you know why some travelers prefer to keep their favorite hidden destinations? Answered! the sluice gate at Tiu Kelep waterfall :( Getting There Bandara Internasional Lombok (BIL) is now Lombok Interna

One of the most famous Indonesian snack, Pisang Goreng or in English, Banana Fritters or Fried Bananas . If you can fine ripe jackfruit then it's great, my favorite, also pineapple! Definitely not healthy but really I just can't say no. This recipe that I modified from my mom, she usually puts some cold butter (or margarine) into the batter, it's her secret. Rice flour and baking powder are my key ingredients for making it light and crispy. Also, I made coconut milk sauce infused with pandan leaves, perfect companion for both banana and jackfruit fritters. You can use almost any kind of banana or even ripe plantain, I find pisang uli  (I don't know what's it in English) is best for banana fritters. Find out how to make it on my Youtube video and check out the measurement down below. Ingredients : 1 cup all purpose flour 2 tbsp rice flour 1 tbsp cold butter / margarine 1 tbsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt or to taste 1/2 tsp baking powder 250 ml cold water banana and ripe ja

Meanwhile, I'm getting very excited about this place. Update: I've been here 3 times already :D Half Half Crispy Fried Chicken (IDR 149.000), it is possible to order different flavor but one must be the original, while you can choose the other between garlicky chicken or spicy chicken. I got the Original and Garlicky Chicken , crispy skin, super juicy meat, and the soy-garlic sauce was very tasty, salty savoury, finger licking good one! Mustard sauce was a bit strong for Indonesians as here we are most likely accustomed with American yellow mustard bu
