Salad with Grilled Beef – Simply Thai – Hongkong
aaah… my travel wouldn’t be complete without taking photos of food. Delicious food of course.
Let me tell you about the restaurant first, it is in Times Square, HongKong level 11. Very nice ambiance, sophisticated decor and most importantly nice food. Too bad those girls couldn’t eat a lot. We had the grilled beef salad, with fried tofu and green curry chicken. Very lovely evening after the whole day shopping.
I love the dressing on the salad. Beef was tender, it was medium done tho. The chef has well prepared the salad with thinly sliced cucumber, i can tell that quality matters for them and i appreciate it. The colours are just feast for the eyes, the red and green complimenting each other.
i would definitely comeback for other dishes if i ever get the chance to go back to Hongkong (sometime soon, fingers crossed). With good quality of the dishes and a lot of care and effort has been put in to the restaurant, it is not expensive meal at all. Two thumbs up for me.

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,

Jam Mien – Singkawang, West Kalimantan
HOhohohoho, this is so far away, even if you have money, it;s pretty hard to get. Catch an hour flight from Jakarta to Pontianak, then if i’m not mistaken a four hour drive to singkawang…
darlink, I can tell you it’s a nice and popular dish amongst people in singkawang.
The noodle is cooked with lard, there’s pig skin crackers too, crab meat and some vegies.
in Jakarta, you can find this similar noodle at Jembatan Lima, don’t ask me how to get there. Only my driver know… and by the way, since i post this blog, my dear friend, Martin aka Boim who is a fellow food enthusiast, he is willing to support me by buying a GPS so that we can go food hunting. hehehehehehhehehehe
I don’t consider myself to know a lot about food, there is someone else who is so keen in following food blogs, he sent me 3/4 page of links of food blogs around the world. He claims to be a chef-wannabe while he actually cooks really good food. I had the privilege to cook with him and share the kitchen on daily basis. Ronny, would you like to introduce yourself ? his blog –> ronny.haryan.to

Pancious Pancake – Permata Hijau
hm… it’s pretty much self explanatory i think… that time I ordered the original pancake tho, not fun to take a photo of. This is what my friend ordered, but I bet it’s nice. Two stacked pancakes with vanilla ice cream, covered with melted chesse and scattered with blueberries.
The original pancake I ordered was a two stack with extra butter melted on top of the warm pancake and I watched it melt slowly… and then i pour the maple syrup. nooooice mate!
This place is great, the food is delicious, the price is not expensive at all, the interior is fabulous and it is always packed for either brunch, lunch, dinner or even dessert. The outdoor setting is beside a pool, I think it was someone’s house before. The menu is inspired by the Pancake Parlour in Melbourne, the owners studied at melbourne.
Keep up the good work!
