Weekend Already?

Cuti and then disuruh jaga rumah bersama si adik. Pagi ini kegiatan produktif banget loh.. Mandiin Chester, nyuci baju, beberes, sampe perut krucuk2 kelaperan. Lupa bok blom sarapan. Sebenernya tinggal jalan beberapa langkah ke belakang rumah ato ke sebrang rumah, udah bisa dapet nasi kuning ato bubur ayam, tapi gue sama si adik lagi niat masak (blaaaah..)

Jadilah sarapan sama sop baso ikan dan nasi goreng baso spesial. Kenapa spesial, simply karna pake telornya dua. Nyahahahah..

Sop baso ikan ini kayanya anak sd juga bisa deh bikinnya. Tinggal beli baso ikan (goreng atau yg biasa sama enaknya) sama sayuran. Bumbunya cuma bawang putih, bawang bombay, garam, sama merica. Tambahin cengek (baca: cabe rawit) sama bawang goreng. Done :)

Kalo nasgor mah smua juga bisa bikinlah yah.. ;D

Reds Dipo

Masih di Jalan Dipati Ukur. Namanya Reds Dipo, dulu tempatnya bener2 kaki lima dan gak permanen, adanya di pertigaan depan Sambara, sekarang udah punya tempat permanen di sampingnya Flashy di Jalan Dipati Ukur.

The menu.

Makanannya macem2, mulai dari seafood, ayam sampe chinese food juga ada. Tapi saya sih mesennya selalu ikan. Kata gue sih yang gak biasa adalah sambelnya. Pedesnya ngajakin berantem. Ada dua macem sambel dan dua-duanya pedesnya ampun2an. Sebelas duabelas sama Sambel Korek Bebek H.Slamet. Oh iya, satu lagi, khasnya disini tuh ikannya digoreng udah gitu dibakar, heu2, hasilnya emang jadi lebih maknyus.

Biasanya kalo kesini mesennya yang menu paket, ntah itu ikan ato cumi. Jadi nya lebih hemat, 20ribuan udah sama nasi dan es teh manis.

Gurame goreng kering belong to my workmate, Kerapu Goreng-Bakar belongs to me. Sambelnya yang ke captured cuma satu :D

Eh teh manis haratisan ;D

Udang Mayonaise. Mayonaisenya homemade, udangnya so-so tapi tetep enak, potato wedgesnya enakan gue bikin sendiri ;p

Bandung

Midnite Craving

Jagung bakar plus teh tarik panas. Bet you all have tasted it before. Sepanjang jalan Dago banyak banget yang jual.

Where's your favorite place? Mine would be the one in front of Bank DBS next to Holiday Inn. Bapak sama Ibunya gak pelit bumbu dan gak pelit keju ;D

Anyway, I like it better jagung bakar serut, gak capek makannya. Hihii..

What about you?

Sop Kaki BCA

Gara-gara baca postingannya Jeng Nita soal wiskulnya di Bandung. Sebagai warga Bandung aselik, sayah merasa terketuk untuk bikin postingan soal jajanan Bandung. Therefore, I will start to write about jajanan Bandung *terutama* yang kaki lima.

Start with this one. Sop Kaki BCA. Bang Memed Kumis.

Pertama kali coba ini, diajakin pacar kala itu, jamannya masi jadi angkatan paling bungsu di kampus. Pesennya yang aman2 aja, daging sapi. Reaksi pertama coba: Ye empyuuuuunnn! Serasa tenggelam dalam kuah santannya! *kangen Born to Cook nggak sih?!!* Kebayang dong, udara dingin Bandung plus kuah santan panas lengkap dengan minyak saminnya. Ohmaygat enak pisan. Denger2 sih kuahnya itu ditambahin susu, mangkanya the best rasanya, beda deh sama sop kaki-sop kaki lainnya.

Biasanya mesen daging sapi dan slalu nambah kuah sama minyak saminnya, gak lupa rikues bawang goreng yang buanyaaak ;D

Sampe sekarang nih, saking doyannya sama sop kaki punya Bang Memed, temen2 kuliah yg udah menetap di Jakarta pun, kalo ke Bandung ngajakin ketemuannya di: Sop Kaki BCA, baru deh lanjut ke tempat yang bisa nongkrong. Tempat ini pasti masuk di priority list temen2 yang lagi maen ke Bandung. :)

Gak pernah gak nikmat makan ini, so I give it 10 out of 10. Berani deh gue bilang, this is the best Sop Kaki di Bandung. Pernah coba di tempat lain, kuciwa ik.

Churreria

Back to my culinary journey. I bought Disdus voucher some time ago, and just got the chance to use it last weekend. Have you tasted churros before? I once fell for this dessert. Always tried to find and eat it as I visited Jakarta (sure, there's no such thing as churros in Bandung). Been a long time before I recently found a churro restaurant at Grand Indonesia, named Churreria. Thanks to Disdus, I got a special offer about 60 or 70% :)

Churros, it is! Cinnamon and icing sugar churros with dark chocolate and caramel dip.

These desserts are complimentary, for free! Yay! *if you got Disdus voucher*

Above: Something Chocolate

Below: Passion Fruit Creme Brulee

I still got two vouchers left and I havent tasted the other complimentary dessert which is Apple Cinnamon Crumble, so I definitely revisit this place.

About its churros? I like it better the ones I usually ate back then, the ones with strong cinnamon and sugar taste, but it was okay. That was the first time for my Nemo ate churros, and he fell for it ;D

For chocolate lovers, Something Chocolate is surely gonna be your favorite. Its real chocolate and something at the bottom really amazed me. Yum-O!

I havent tasted creme brulee before, so technically I cannot give you a fair review. But yes, I fell for its creme brulee. A bit sour, a bit sweet, it melts in your mouth. Love it.

and the progress is goin on..

Antara santai banget sama agak dodol sih ini.. Less than a month before lamaran. Tapi masih santeeei luar biasa. Dan si jerawat2 gak tau diri ini tiba2 kompakan muncul. Belom lagi kondisi kulit yang menghitam belum kembali normal. (_ _") Okay, I dont expect it to be fair white, but at least back to my normal color of skin, puhliiiiss..

Sekarang udah mulei sering ditanya, "udah sampe mana persiapannya?" Me: blank. Tiba2 bingung sendiri, udah sampe mana ya? Yang belum apa aja ya? Trus liat tanggalan, yaolooooh, apa2an udah tanggal segini lagi, udah Juni lagi. Ngok. *sesek napas*

Tapi anehnya, walopun sesek napas, deug2an berlebihan gitu, tetep aja mau ngurus ini, males, ngurus itu, males juga. Trus gimana dong? Ya gitu, stres sendiri.

Yak, demi kedamaian bersama, mari kita list progress heuseuus untuk lamaran:

1. Venue : di rumah tercintah, which is being renovated a bit
2. Kebaya : harusnya udah, tapi all of a sudden naksir satu bahan kebaya, akirnya bikin lagi, dan jadinya mefet2 hari H lamaran. Yuk yak yuk. Tips: Kelabilan wont do good at this point, seriously.
3. Catering : done, alhamdulillah wa syukurillah, yang bikin masih keluarga juga..
4. Makeup : Teh Lela kakaknya (apa adeknya ya?) Teh Yuyun. Udah booking, but havent met her before. Tapi itu rekomennya Kang Ipung Klasik, dan udah liat juga hasilnya kaya gimana. Tinggal berdoa smoga mekapnya okeh..
5. Photographer : Klasik Photography. Belum ngabarin Kang Ipungnya lagi.
6. MC : dari keluarga
7. Seserahan : Changed plan, seserahannya nanti ajah sebelum akad nikah, but it almost 80% done
8. Peningset : Tadinya gak pake yang beginian, tapi setelah rapat keluarga, katanya sebaiknya pake, biar ada tanda pengikatnya, begonoh, iyahin ajalah.
9. Angsul2 : Gak ada seserahan, tapi tuker2an makanan and buah2an tetep jalan. Gara2 ampir smua cepewe pada mesen kapkeiks buat acara lamaran, ik juga gamo kalah dong ah. Sedang in progress browsing2

Yuhuu, dear friends and readers yang udah lamaran, ada lagikah yang gue lupakan?

*baidewei, hari minggu kemaren ponakan ulangtaun, sepupu gue bikin hajatan kecil2an di BSD, dan cateringnya Akasya. Yang dipesen sepupu: Ribs, Nasi Kapau, Steam Boat, Thai Ice. Sukses bikin gue lupa diri. Empat porsi ribs dilahap dalam waktu yang sesingkat2nya. Duh, hardly to explain, enaaaaaaaaakk banget banget deh.. harusnya gue foto aja, tapi lupa. :D

Jadi, ribsnya sendiri udah enak banget, ditambah kentang yang dipotong tipis2 ditumpuk selang-seling sama keju and cream. Nyam nyam. Pokonya yang di Jakarta, Akasya Catering (especially their Ribs) is highly recommended. Tapi ya itu. Ada harga ada barang. You know what I meant. :D

Pasta Basta!

So when the Jakartans fill in Bandung with crowd on long weekend, then my turn to wander around the city. My cousin took me to this one place. She said one of her colleagues' wife (who's an Italian) recommended her to taste this restaurant's spaghetti. According to that Italian woman, it's spaghetti was the best you can find in town.

As we came in, the waitress (who's a niece of the owner) asked whether it was our first time going there. Then she said "this is a one-dish-menu restaurant, so we only serve one dish, and that will be spaghetti bolognaise." So we ordered it. About the interior, it was such a nice place to hang out at. Small place but it's cute. Too bad that there's no other option but spaghetti bolognaise.

here it goes the pasta.. It is indeed great. Different from what I've tasted before. Tho, it is only a bolognaise, which pretty sure you can make it at home, but it's worth to try for. They said it is the family recipe since long time ago that makes it different and tastes really great.
