Lamb curry

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

I decided to take up my culinary experience up a notch. If I usually make delicious difficult-to-prepare food (such as Indonesian food) with the help of some ready made spice mixture, this time I decided to make things from scratch. Or sort of. The menu for today: lamb curry.

Hakkebøf at White Horse

Monday, February 8th, 2010

The White Horse is a restaurant around the corner of our house which was previously closed. During the short time it was closed, I was quite saddened because they had a menu which was my favourite: smoked salmon with spinach cream sauce. Well last time we went to Denmark in November last year, it has reopened with an Irish interior setting, similar menu, minus my favourite. :( But anyways, it was good to see it was reopened under new management and owner, so my hubby and I went there for a visit one day to have some small bite for lunch. Or so we thought.

Coffee and Cassava at Kafe Toraja

Friday, February 5th, 2010

My hubby and I have known each other since early 2005 when we met at endless tsunami meetings, as well as through my often hostile visits to his office to sort out his visa issues. We finally got married in October 2008 after knowing each other for more than three years. Still, after such time, it’s amazing how many new things we still learn about each other over time.

Opor Ayam and Triple-Beans Stir-Fry

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

When my sister was staying over at my place, she showed me to cook opor ayam (chicken in coconut sauce) with a mix of proper and easy way – which unfortunately due to it’s yummy factor, went down the digestive system without being properly immortalized. I did however take a picture of the side dish, triple-beans stir-fry, or tumis kacang panjang/tempe/tauge. Both are two of my favourite Indonesian dishes. Here are my (and my sister’s) way of cooking them if you want to try it out.

Quick and Yummy Lunch at Citrus

Monday, February 1st, 2010

When I was still working full time in Gatot Subroto area, my hubby and I would sometimes go out for lunch at Citrus restaurant, located in Tebet Indraya Square just next to KFC/Gelael in Pancoran area. We enjoy going there because it’s good food, quick service and close to the office. Most of the menu are ‘safe food’, meaning that almost nothing could go wrong with it, unless of course any of the food ingredients are rotten – which it of course never was.
