Food of the Day

Today I got some cute delicacies ^_^ in my working place. 

First of all, these small pastries our section got from a client. They were so nice sending us parcels of sweet pastries and traditional cakes. But, I'm not so sure my own office will do the same >.<. Well... we're not known to be a generous company (he he, sorry).

The one on the left was filled with apple and cinnamon. Although I'm not a fan of baked apples, but I have to say it was tasty. The one on the right was a choux pastry with sweet weep cream, and as you can see, topped with mandarin orange, kiwi and cherry, a sweet delight in the afternoon ^_^. 

Next up, was this strange looking thing. It's a waffle actually, deep in a chocolate sauce. Bought it in a bazaar at the parking lot of my office (this is like the  3rd one we had during this fasting month).

The vendor call it "Lolly Waffle" since it's on  a stick, hence the name acquired. Well, it's not so bad, the batter was soft, and  the scent was mouth watering, I very much enjoyed eating it. it's a new way of eating your waffle, and you can have it for only Rp.5000 (about 50 cent).

Last but not least, my dinner at a regular place not far from where I live. I ordered fried battered red snapper with mushroom sauce & some chips and vegetables on the side. The fish was so soft, and freshly fried. Loved it! For Rp.13.000 (1.3 US$) it's a great bargain. 

I also got a taste of this baked potato with mayonnaise, broccoli and cheese, yummy!

Food of The Day

Berhubung masih dalam bulan Ramadhan, pastinya ulasan makannya jatuh ke makan malam ^_^. Nah, daripada maksain pulang sebelum waktu berbuka, yang mana berarti gw harus menghadapi kemacetan yang super duper gila dan cuma akan menguras pahala gw setelah seharian puasa, akhirnya gw memilih makan malam di D'Cost cabang ITC Permata Hijau. 

Sesampai di lokasi, resto-nya udah penuh, ada yang udah di-booking ada juga yang memang rajin nungguin dari sore. Untungnya kami dapat meja.

Ini dia pesanan kami malam ini:

Searah jarum jam: Tumis Kangkung dengan bawang putih, patin tim bawang putih, & kerang bambu saus tiram

Kepiting Soka Saus Telur Asin

Jus Semangka

Ah sayang T_T, kayaknya D'Cost juga mulai mengikuti jejak restoran lain, untuk menurunkan mutu. Memang harga masih lumayan murah, tapi berasa banget banyak yang dikurangin. 

Jus semangka (Rp. 4.800): Terasa semangkanya nggak sebanyak biasanya dan kurang manis. Kangkung (Rp. 6.800): masih tetep standar enak. Kerang bambu (Rp. 10.800): Kerangnya bagus2, dan besar, tapi cangkang yang ada isinya hanya separuh dari porsi yang disajikan, alias banyak cangkang kosong :D. Ikan patin tim bawang putih (Rp. 27.800): Daging tetap lembut, with that fatty goodness ^_^, tapi taste-nya kurang nendang, butuh bawang putih yang lebih banyak lagi biar sip. Kepiting soka saus telur asin (Rp. 34.800): Rasanya sih lumayan, tapi porsinya super kecil, beda langit dan bumi dengan foto yang di menu. 

Dan satu hal yang fatal, semua masakan di atas disajikan dalam keadaan dingin >.<, padahal kita menunggunya lama (kalau mau menyajikan dingin, paling nggak munculnya cepat, dong). Tapi setidaknya sopan santun pelayan masih tetap dijaga ^_^. Mudah-mudahan semakin ada perbaikan.
