Avigayil Damm

For a few times now, whenever my hubby and I go to Plaza Senayan for a movie, we have noticed this market restaurant Marché, so this time we decided to try it out. As the name says, this restaurant uses a market concept where you go from one stall to another and pick your own food. They will give you a card at the entrance, which the stall’s staff will stamp with a code corresponding to your order. You will then pay at the exit. I thought it was quite fun!

Ooops… I just realized that I haven’t really posted anything about our Christmas dinner and culinary adventures! I have been posting it in many places such as my Facebook account and I have used it in a holiday newsletter which I sent out to our friends and family, and that’s why I have this feeling that it’s already done here also. Apparently not! Apologies for that, but let me make up for it for posting it here now.

Sometimes my hubby and I opt for a very simple dish which requires no particular skills, extraordinary ingredients or complicated efforts. This time, we chose to have it healthy as well so we decided to cook pan-fried salmon with some steamed vegetables and boiled small potatoes.

I was shopping with my hubby at a nearby supermarket when I noticed this car parking in a way that hogs two parking spaces. It’s not an uncommon scene in Jakarta, and usually this would really annoy me particularly when there is no other parking space available. Normally I would immediately judge this person as an incompetent driver.

When I still worked in Gatot Subroto area, my colleagues and I used to have lunch either at the nearby small street restaurants, or at the next door building’s food court. Very often, the building next door would also host a national food festival, where many restaurants would take part and serve their specials. My colleagues and I would normally not pass on the opportunity to indulge ourselves in the variety of meals presented.
