Sendang Kapitu - Jogjakarta

This Restaurant is far away from the city, but the place is so special. You can imagine it by looking at picture above. If it is a hotel than you can imagine it as a resort. This restaurant take place at Minggiran area.

Special menu here is the shrimp. Fresh and Delicious.

Unfortunatelly, I can’t eat shrimp. But for somebody like me, there are another menu like chicken, squid and fish.

Even though I know I can’t eat shrimp,but when everybody eat it, I can’t stand it anymore, I eat only one piece of shrimp. But it’s really really bad experience for me. My stomach can’t stand it, and then I have to throw up away everything within my stomach.Oh My God, along the way home I feel sickening. It’s really bad situation for me. But for shrimp mania, you can visit this place when you go to jogjakarta.

Yoghurt Lover’s Story

I’m a yoghurt lover. Yoghurt, yoğurt or yogurt, or less commonly yoghourt or yogourt (see spelling differences), is a dairy product produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. It can be made from any milk, but modern production is dominated by cow's milk. The fermentation of milk sugar (lactose) produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yoghurt its gel-like texture and characteristic tang. Yoghurt is often sold in a fruit, vanilla, or chocolate flavour, but can be unflavoured. (taken from wikipedia)

At first time I try to eat yoghurt, hmmmm it has strange taste. But next time I eat it, it’s really great and make me want it more and more. For me, it’s not enough to eat it one cup a day. But I’ll bankrupt if I following my desire to eat yoghurt more than one cup a day hahaha………………I already try so many brand of yoghurt. Most of imported yoghurt has great taste. But it doesn’t mean the local yoghurt not good. There are some brand has great taste too. Even not the same as the imported one but you may try these. Some local brand that you may try are Mela, Nice, and King. But for King you must mix it with another brand to get delicious taste.
I's like to add another info for you that emmi-swiss yoghurt is so delicious. The best yoghurt that i ever eat (my husbands says that it's really the same as the one that he eat at norway).

REASONS TO USE YOGHURT

• Yoghurt is rich in potassium, calcium, protein and B vitamins, including B-12.
• Research shows yoghurt strengthens and stabilizes the immune system.
• Lactose in milk is converted by Yogurt's bacteria into lactic acid which helps digest lactose or dairy products.
• The lactic acid of yoghurt is a perfect medium to maximize calcium absorption.
• Research shows women who eat 4 cups of yoghurt/week have less vaginal and bladder infections.
• Yoghurt can be used as an effective douche.

Toraya Coffée – Ambassador Mall

It’s one of our way to spend week end together without our cutie little sun J. We loved to have a cup of coffee or else while we are talking. My husband ordered Caramel Machiato (the special menu from Toraya Coffee) while I prefer to choose Caramel Apple Cinder and we also ordered Spring Roll.

Caramel Machiato made from coffe with Caramel inside and sowing with cream above it. It’s yummy! Whereas Caramel Apple Cinder is more delicious for me. The taste is great. It made from apple juice with caramel inside and also sowing with cream above it. I really love this kind of beverage. The Spring Roll is very crunchy. You may try this menu. You’ll not disappointed.

But for me this place is only recommended for smoker. If you are no smoking, you’ll be dislike this coffee shop, because there is no room for no smoking people.

Sate Kambing Session

On the way home, Me and my husband feeling hungry so we decide to stop by at a restaurant. After think for the moment we decide to eat Sate. Hmmm…….it’s one of my favourite food. I love any kind of sate. Like sate ayam ( small pieces of chicken roasted on skewer), sate kambing ( small pieces of goat meat roasted on skewer), sate bulus made from small freshwater or land turtle (ehm it was, now I can’t eat it because it forbidden in our religion), sate sapi ( small pieces of cow meat roasted on skewer), sate kerang ( small pieces of shell roasted on skewer), etc. But this afternoon we choose sate kambing and orange juice. It says that when we eat some food with high fat its better to have orange or lime with it to reduce fat.

Even it’s not the best “sate kambing” that I ever eat but it’s not too bad also. For people who loves sate kambing I recommended you to try sate kambing in front of Sunda Kelapa Mosque and near my House. It has good taste and not too expensive.

Wings Dome – Plaza Semanggi

After a long long time not spending Saturday night together, we got the time tonight. We decided to come to Plaza Semanggi. After looking around from Ground Floor to third Floor, we decided to try Wings Dome, because the place looks cozy and private. My husband ordered burger and pink guava. I ordered vegetables cream soup cream + appetizer. I don’t want to eat much because I’m not really hungry. Here we found out that there is burger with egg.Egg is my hubby favourite food so he is very excited founded that there was an egg within the burger. The taste is good and the size is big. It’s very suitable for my hubby. The vegetables cream soup cream is great too. It made from vegetables blended with potatoes. Drinks that we ordered are fresh and unique. I love it very much.

Boyong Kalegan – Yogya

.j

Next destination is Jogja (my husband hometown). It’s one of my favourite place. There are a lot of memories here. I spent a few years of my life there. It’s been a hard and great years because I got a lot of knowledge and experience that making me stronger to face the future. And the best thing is I met my soulmate there.

There are a lot of great restaurant here. But I’m just visit some of them. So I have to go back to Jogja for many times J One of my favourite restaurant is the place where there is fishing area like Boyong Kalegan for example. It’s nice place because it has beautiful scenery and unique building made from “bamboo”. And u can find healthy food there also. Here u can ride raft, sing a song with the band and feed the fish.

One of my favourite food here is “Gurame” (it’s a kind of fish from fresh water) wheter it is grilled of fried, it’s very very delicious. The taste is salty and crisp, especially for fried “Gurame”, ummm it’s very crunchy. U can eat this “Gurame” with “lalapan”(raw vegetables) and “sambal mentah” or “sambal terasi”(sorry until now I still can’t find the best English word describe it). Unfortunately I forget to take a picture of “Gurame” because I already razzle-dazzle to eat,but I promise u, next time I go there, I will take the picure of “Gurame” (If Boyong Kalegan still there).

Patra Hotel – Bali

This time my Journey move to Bali. It’s the second time I went to Bali. Now I’m here with all my office co worker. Actually I want to share bad experience now, because all the food here is not good. The meat is not well cooked and stiff. So I lost my appetite. Then I go find another food. Wow there is cream soup over there, so I walked there with sparkling eyes and fully hope it would be good. But after the first spoon of soup come over my throat I stop eating because it’s also tasteless. Hik hik hik finally I just eat the fruit and drink a lot of juice hehehehehe………(the good point here is I ate healthy food even a little bit hungry at night kruk kruk kruk it’s the sound of my hungry stomach)

But til now I still don’t know where is the great restaurant in Bali. So if there is anyone who knows the best food ever in Bali, share with me please …………so when I go to bali again I can eat well (not another fast food anymore hehehehe)

Holiday Inn Resort - Lombok

Where is the food ??? (it's already gone in our stomach hehehehehehe.....)

It’s our Gala Dinner. Here, we could find many kind of food from kambing guling (I can’t find the synonym in English) til seafood again. Kambing guling it’s goat meat which is grilled and eat with soysauce. And one more time, I didn’t bring camera so no food picture anymore hikhikhik…….About the taste of the food I thought there is no special thing I could tell you. Honesty it’s very standar.

It’s the end of Lombok Tour, unluckily I forget the name of restaurant that I ever eat pelecing kangkung (one of traditional food). It’s made from kangkung(vegetables) with coconut spread above it, umm it’s so delicious and fresh very suitable for people who loves vegetables. Maybe we could say it’s one of Indonesian traditional salad like in Java we could find “urapan”.

Marina’s Café - Lombok

It’s seafood party…;) We’ve had Barbeque here. So many seafood serve here. There are prawn, squid and variety of fish. Unfortunately I didn’t bring the camera so I can’t take the food picture but I can tell you the taste of the food. It’s really delicious especially for the squid, hmmm I couldn’t stop my mouth to eat it. Very very fresh and yummy but not healthy (high cholesterol food hahaha ….). But I think it’s ok as long as you don’t consume it every day. So, for all seafood lovers, Café Marina is one of the place in Lombok that you have to visit.
