Cheapest But Not Cheap :)

Sudah lama sekali semenjak aku kehilangan laptopku dan banyaknya kerjaan yang bikin aku kehilangan waktu2 menyenangkan menulis blog dan melakukan hobi2ku yang lain. Dan hari ini sepertinya semua kembali normal walopun tetep aja sih ga seperti dulu. Semua sudah berubah dan ga akan seperti dulu lagi (klo seperti dulu lagi itu sih namanya kemunduran….). Kali ini aku mo cerita pengalaman makan di resto deket rumah. Namanya sih Cheapest Resto tapi sebenarnya harganya ga murah-murah amat J Waktu pertama kali datang ke tempat ini sih keliatannya asik banget pake live music, trus yang nyanyi cakep dan seksi wah pokoke co2 pasti suka ketempat ini walopun menurutku taste of the food sih standar aja. Not too special for me. Tapi tetep aja kemaren waktu baru nyampe di Jakarta lagi aku tetep aja ngajak suamiku mampir ke tempat ini (mungkin alas an utamanya karena deket rumah jadi sekalian jalan, gitu deh). Kali ini kami pesen steak dan kwetiauw goreng. Gak lupa juga pesen menu tetap kami apalagi klo bukan sup. Disini kami pesen sup asparagus dan Zoupa soup(duh sup ini lumayan enak tapi keluarnya lama banget padahal yang namanya supkan harusnya sebagai menu pembuka). Tapi zoupa soup ini menurut aku termasuk menu istimewa disini dan merupakan menu favoritku. Supnya lucu, dihidangkan di mangkuk yang ada gagangnya trus ditutupin ama croissant diatasnya. Trs pas mau makan lubangin aja tuh croissant trus celupin ke supnya, hmmmm yummy. Supnya berupa sup krim kental yang gurih, cocok banget deh ama croissantnya. Trs dihidangkan panas-panas, asik banget. Klo minumnya, aku pesen jus strawberry dan suamiku jus tomat tapi diatasnya dikasih es krim(jus baru kesukaannya tuh), padahal dulunya dia ga suka banget ama yang namanya tomat.

"Tumpeng"

It’s my son’s birthday. We didn’t plan to celebrate it. Only making tumpeng and call our family to come to our home.

Tumpeng is the way to serve rice and side dish in a cone shape. It’s Javanese tradition originally but now mostly Indonesian using tumpeng when they held some event for example wedding anniversary, birthday, independence day, etc. It usually using yellow rice or “nasi kuning”, although it can be used rice or “nasi uduk”. Tumpeng usually make for expression of gratitude to God or when we held “kenduri”. In some event which using tumpeng, we called it “tumpengan”.

There is tradition suggest that top of the cone serve for someone who is older or have higher position to respect them.

Some dishes serve with tumpeng are perkedel (made from potato), abon (meat fried until crisp), fried soy bean, egg/scramble egg, cucumber, and celery. Another variation of dishes are fried tempe, serundeng (meat spread with coconut granule), urap kacang panjang (indonesian traditional salad with coconut sauce), ikan asin or lele goreng (catfish), etc.

Waroeng Steak – Jogjakarta

Wow it’s one of the cheapest steak restaurant. It’s suitable for teenage and college student. The taste is good enough. You know what, It’s one of my favourite place when I still in Jogja, because they have Milkshake in their menu. I really love Milkshake especially strawberry and vanilla. This place grow very fast, until now they have branch in Jakarta at Jl. Kalimalang (near my house).

Izzy Pizza - Kuningan

OMG, finally I have time to write anymore. It was a busy day lately. I didn’t have time to do anything and think about my lovely Blog. Next destination was Izzy Pizza – Kuningan. We ordered Mixed salad with extra breast chicken, Vanilla Izzy Icy, Tomato Cream Soup and Capricciosa. Hmmm…the taste is not bad. Even it’s not one of my favourite food but the place is special because there are some spice container that really unique and also some spice that we rarely seen in another place for example Black Papper, Tabasco, etc. Black papper container is the unique one, you must spin it if u want to spread it on your food. Food taste is not too special, I thought it’s the same like the other but Vanilla Izzy Icy is delicious, you should try it, even the portion is too small for me hehehehe……Overall the place is good, one of the cozy restaurant in Jakarta.
