Roast Duck

Roast Duck - Imperial Chef Mangga Besar
This is the famous dish from Imperial Chef, i do suggest to get the breast instead of the thigh because there is so much bones and it’s just difficult to get the meat.
Also, get 1/4 of duck so that u can order more dishes. I prefer small portion of everything and more dishes rather than 2 big dishes.
Some say, it’s the pecking duck that’s nice but others say it’s the roast duck not the pecking duck. So far i’ve only tried the roast duck and it is yummy…
The mandarin sauce is an alternative of the typical hoi sin sauce.

Fried Prawns with Wheat

Fried Prawns with Wheat - Imperial Chef Mangga Besar
The prawns are really fresh there, the meat is sweet and the texture is crunchy from the wheat. Presentation is always a “wow” factor. The golden colour with the bright red prawns and green leaves just makes you want to take the first scoop and sprinkle the wheat on your hainam rice. yuuuuuuuuuum………

Snow Peas with Garlic - Imperial Chef Mangga Besar
I have this weird thing with vegetables. I don’t eat broccoli and i promised myself never again i eat broccoli cos back in high school, the broccoli if contaminated with worms, eughhh…
so, i am very picky when i eat my vegetables, but snow peas is definitely one of my favorite dish for vegetables. Cooked plain with garlic is one of the best way to enjoy the sweet flavour of the vegetables.

The combination of all the food i ordered - Imperial Chef Mangga Besar
ugly but yummy…
btw, it is hainanese rice, so there’s a soft chicken-ie flavour to the rice. very yummy. it is best combo-ed with the fried wheat from the prawns.
Imperial Chef is the Duck King Group. They are open in senayan city, plaza semanggi, opening in Grand Indonesia on the 21st of January 08 (my gosh.. i know that? - freak!)

Tumpeng

Nasi Tumpeng
This is traditional indonesian food to be enjoyed during a celebration or any other happy occasion. In this case, in my office we have a celebration of two department joining forces.
To start the celebration usually there is prayer and hope for good luck, then the most important people cut the top of the rice as symbol.
There’s so many dishes on the side,
Kwetiau Sapi
January 6, 2008
Kwetiau Sapi - Pasar Muara Karang
The kwetiau is nice but probly nicer the first time i tried it. Best if comboed with kopi susu medan. The coffee is not bitter but the flavour is strong. Because it is very hot at the market, i do suggest ice coffee rather than hot coffee. it’s cheap too, only 15K for the kwetiau and 8K for the coffee.
This humble breakfast food is enjoyed by many people especially by local residents around the market… including me.

Tahu Kipas
January 5, 2008
Tahu kipas - Pandan Bistro Pluit
This is a branch of Pondok Laguna from batu ceper. The owner of pandan bistro is the son or the daughter of the owner of Pondok Laguna, which is very famous for its tahu kipas.
Crunchy on the outside, with prawns on the inside and the trade mark is the black hairy thing which i have nnoooooo idea what that is… taste good tho. I can never have only 1 tahu kipas if i eat there.. usually it’s with ikan bakar, kelapa muda, cumi goreng and others…
The photo is not bad at all.. wow.. hehehe very proud of myself. ehheheeheh

Nasi Campur

Nasi campur - pangeran jayakarta
hohohohohoh, i forgot to take picture of the bakmi kepiting which is so much nicer than this nasi campur. Damnit, i’m hungry now because i upload this photo.
This nasi campur is nice because the pork is sliced very thinly, then the acar is crunchy, the rice is soaked wet from very fragrant sauce (which, according to boim use lard and some cinnamon as well)
the place is called “kaki lima” or more like hawker centre, the food is cheap and they have been in business like 20 years or more… i remember coming here when i was really young. ok next time i promise to take photo of the bakmi kepiting… 4 thumbs up for the bakmi kepiting.. to be continued.
by the way, if u want to go there and taste this food, it’s pretty hard to explain, so you would have to message me personally and ask me to go with you.. hehehehehhehee i’ll be more than happy to…
“yuuuu….”

cream & fudge
January 5, 2008
Cream and fudge you can find in major malls such as senayan citi, pacific place etc…
these babies… if you gonna eat double scoop, you might want to share it with other people, because it Hiiiuuuuuggggeee…!
ok i tried the cookie dream, all berry, cafe au lait… the one in the photos is something else and they were not mine.
All three of them taste heavenly… cookie dream is the one with the oreo, with vanilla based ice cream and choc chips…
cafe au lait is coffee, vanilla and chocolate ice cream based, then with maltesers, finished with whipped cream topping. oh boy, this one is my favorite so far… seriously, the whipped cream is so light and the sweetness is just perfect. Lightly powdered with coffee. Then, who doesn’t like maltesers? wafer covered with chocolate… the brochure was right, it is a delicate blend of coffee with chocolate that leaves you craving for more.
I’m more into the dairy kind of ice cream rather than sorbet or fruity kinda flavour, but i have to say all berry is also nice. Vanilla based, with 3 kind of berries and a cracker that leaves a very nice balance of that sweet not too soury but also has a savoury taste to an ice cream.
compared to gelatissimo, i am definitely cream & fudge guy!

Angus house

Angus house steak - Chase plaza jakarta
darling, that’s a whooping 300g of steak my friend ate, mine was a petite 150g, so i took a picture of his steak rather than mine.
It was 1st of jan, so they had a set menu of 5 course meal. There’s duck breast with scallop and prawns for the first course, then there’s pumpin soup which is very nice, and then some garden salad with beautiful dressing. Then the steak as main course is cooked to perfection, the meat is soooooo tender no matter how well you want the steak to be cooked. My steak was medium tenderloin, and my friend’s is medium well but still very tender. Finished with a cream filled crepes and truffle on the side.
Nice meal to start the year…
