ALL IN ONE

From Teppanyaki to Okonomiyaki, from Osaka style to Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki. Some people may be quite familiar with Chibo as it's popular in Japan, also they have some branches in Asia and in Hawaii. Last week, I got a chance to visit their very first restaurant in Indonesia, located in Gandaria City Mall , Jakarta. Customers can choose to sit at the bar table which allow the customers to watch the chef preparing food or at the regular table with grill pan slash hot plates in the middle to keep the food hot. Grill pan on each table is definitely important to me especially when ordering Okonomiyaki. More, they have condiments available on every table from Okonomiyaki sauce, house made mayo, to katsuobushi. Okonomiyaki is Japanese style savory pancake with cabbage and various protein as filling, from beef to seafood.  Chibo Gyoza Let's start with  Gyoza (IDR 55.000), unlike any other gyoza I've ever tried before, it comes in flat shape with crispy edges yet not oily.

It's been a while, I finally made it to update this blog again. Also beside sharing recipes, it's a resto review. I've been very busy lately, well actually for the past few months (read: almost a year). Allow me to share, so for the past few months we, me and my partner, we got lots of project that we feel blessed. There are still many waiting to be finished. We made video content for social media, mostly cooking video. Not an easy thing, we're still learning anyway but hey I think we really can make it better day by day. As it's getting organized, I hope I can have more time to write here, also to make my own content especially for my Youtube channel. This year is gonna be fabulous. Byron Selective. This place, located in Progo, close to some other cafes and restos. Precisely, it's beside the famous Jonas Photo Studio, and there's a connection door in between. I think I saw some pictures on Instagram about this place then  Truffle Fries So, the uppermost to

One of my favorite dessert, Mango Sticky Rice or called Khao Niao Mamuang in Thai. Sweet sticky rice, sweet mango, with creamy savory coconut cream, it's just a really good combination. A must to eat whenever I visited Bangkok, and finally I made my own this weekend, thanks to Mark Wiens for the video about how to make Mango Sticky Rice. This recipe is adapted from his, I like the aroma of pandan in my sticky rice so I added some. Please note that you need to soak the glutinous rice for 5 - 8 hours before steaming. Actually there's another option to cook the glutinous rice in a rice cooker but I've not tried it yet so, I will update this post later. Anyway, you can also change the mango with durian (it really works).  Ingredients: 400 gr glutinous rice 250 ml coconut milk 100 gr sugar or less 1/2 tsp salt pandan leaves sweet mango Coconut Cream Sauce : 200 ml coconut milk 1/2 tsp salt or to taste 1 tsp cornstarch (optional) Watch video for the directions.
