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.

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.

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.

When the new mall, Pejaten Village just opened last year, my hubby and I went there to check out what is in store. Since it was not fully functional yet (they said it was only a soft opening), not many of the stores were open. At that time, the Matahari department store and Hypermart grocery store were open, with some small stalls selling girlie accessories, a few food stalls in the food court, and some small restaurants including Secret Recipe.

Ever since I quit my regular job last September, I had more time for myself in hands during the weekdays. So I figured I would change habit and go to my salon on weekdays so I have the weekend free to spend quality time with my hubby. My salon of choice is Lutuye on Wolter Monginsidi street, because I was fortunate enough to find staff whose services were to my satisfaction.

I have noted that my three favourite staff have their days of on Tuesday, so I usually go there on any days but Tuesdays. Normally I would get a cream bath and a manicure and pedicure. That’s a biweekly visit. My monthly visit would normally include a hair dye also.
