Lunch at Marché, Plaza Senayan

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

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!

Dinner Tonight: Spaghetti with Paprika Meatballs

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

As one of my new year’s resolution is to drop cook proper food (as opposed to dining out or calling in), last Friday I went through my recipes collection again to put together a one week meal plan. I was reminded of this delicious meatball recipe and decided to cook it again since it was so successful last time. 100_1670

We went for shopping (for a whole week food stock) at Hero in Kemang, which had almost everything I needed. I actually cooked this on Sunday, because then I had more leisure time on my hands. I divided them in two boxes and stored them in the freezer for consumption during this week.

Today we attacked this mouth-watering menu right after we arrived home from work. The meatballs are made of minced beef mixed with some bread crumbs, dried oregano, eggs, salt and pepper, whereas the sauce is made of beef stock, sliced onions and capsicum, paprika powder, caraway seeds, some all-purpose flour (to thicken the sauce), tomato puree and tomato paste. Just before serving, some sour cream is stirred in. I served it with spaghetti, although my hubby claims it would also be good with mashed potatoes. Maybe I will try that next time.

The end result taste actually reminds me of goulash soup, although it has a slightly more sour hint (because of the tomatoes and sour cream). But one thing’s for sure: it’s definitely a keeper.
