Selaras Restaurant & Guest House, Bandung

We have been going here several times and not yet bored with their menu. Every time we went here, we tried different menu and it is always satisfies us.

Their special menu is their Soemo or satay. Made with love and additional steak sauce, making it a combination of steak/ traditional satay. Both are our favorite and combination of both of it makes it a plus-plus for us.

Great ambiance, not quite crowded, a really good place for foodie to enjoy their meal. Yum!

Enjoy!

Nasi Kuning Gokil, Jalan Kliningan, Bandung

A fine day for a walk, and we tried a different route this time, and we ended up at this place: Nasi Kuning Gokil.

Located in jalan Kliningan, it is serves as a food court for the high school in front of it. Plenty of menu prepared here, but one attracted our mind: their Nasi Kuning.

It is tasted light and great for breakfast. And with additional good view, it is a great place for eating. (plus a great price of Rp 5.000,- or less than US$ 0.50 it is a bargain!).

Enjoy!

Cooking at Home: Homemade Cheese Sandwich

Another inspiration based on my favorite show in Asian Food Channel. Now I am cooking a nice easy lunch/ breakfast menu that you can bring to the office. This recipe is based on a display made by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall in his famous River Cottage show.

You can see the full recipe here. But for now, I am feeling shiny with my own result :).

Enjoy!

Cooking at Home: Homemade English Breakfast

Watching a show in Asian Food Channel and it makes us hungry. It inspired us to make an English Breakfast menu at home. Armed with only prepackaged sausage, scrambled egg, fried mushroom and canned baked bean, we tried to make the imitation of it.

Looking at the picture, what do you think? Quoting what Captain Malcolm Reynolds used to say: I think it is shiny!

Enjoy!

Alia has been craving to visit this place for a while, so when the time comes to visit she was delighted. We visit the place accompanied by two of our small nephews during a car free day event in Dago area.

The place is just opened for less than a month. Located beside TBI in jalan Dago, it has spacious parking lot and spacious interior.

The menu they sell here consisted of honey bread, waffle, coffee, and their specialty: Bingsu.
We ordered the Green Tea Bingsu and Waffle.

The Bingsu comes in large portion. It can serve for up to four people. The waffle tasted fresh and light. Perfect for enjoying at with your friends.

Enjoy!

Alternative Meal Place in Trans Studio Mall: Hero Supermarket

Sometimes when you are visiting a mall with the intention to watch a movie, you find yourself with a limited budget to eat. It happened to us quite frequently, as the price of movie theater in Indonesia can reached to a staggering price of Rp 60.000,- (US$ 5) per person during weekend. Plus the popcorn and beverages, we can easily fetch around Rp 150.000,- (US$ 15) with dinner and snacks for a single person. That is quite a lot of money for us.

Luckily, some malls do have special place that not yet uncovered by the guests, including here in Trans Studio Mall, Bandung.

Dining or having lunch here can easily cost you Rp 50.000 (US$ 4.5) at least per person. But, if you visit the Hero Supermarket in their basement, they served local Indonesian food for a starting price of Rp 15.000,- (US$ 1.5) per person. And the taste is quite delicious.

You can use the spare money to buy popcorn or other snacks for your movie.

Not bad eh?

Enjoy!
