Obama in A Dress

The face of Obama hit the Paris Runway at the Jean-Charles de Castelbajac 2009 ready-to-wear show. The yellow dress accessorized by pair of gloves that said "Yes" on the right hand and "No" on the left. Nice! I pick the right one please :D

Ramen 38 Sanpachi: Little Japan in J Town

Take a quick jaunt off Jakarta to the little piece of Japan. Taste the authentic Ramen, a Japanese Noodle, in a small but compelling Ramen House called Ramen 38 Sanpachi.

The place which located in The second floor of Kamome, a Japanese Supermarket in Melawai, is secretly famous among Jakartans, especially South Jakartans who love Ramen at its best. The best thing about this place isn't only the food, but also the services and the place which apparently quite secluded.

For the services, everytime you order a dish, you'll get some complementaries such as free flow ice water and a konyaku jelly for the dessert. While for the place, this is totally like a mini Japan in town since, first, the size remind me of the traditional Ramen Joint in Japan. Next, the decorations are so authentic with Kanji printed red flag hanging in the front door just like what i witnessed in Tokyo Love Story, a Japanese hit tv series in the 90's. And the guest, most of them are Japanese.

Well for that fact, i want to share my personal tip. If you want to know whether a native restaurant serves an authentic food or not, you can tell from the guest. If a Japanese Restaurant is packed with the Japanese, then the taste is authentic. Because as an Indonesian, when i'm abroad, i'll only visit the Indonesian Restaurant which has the food taste enclose to the real deal. How can i eat an Indonesian food that taste like an Indian's, for example. So i believe that this thing also happen to everypeople in the world. They'll look up for the taste like home. hehe.

For the price, they're ranging from IDR 15.000 to IDR 48.000 for the food, and the drink is around IDR 5.000- IDR 20.000. But watch out for the service tax, because they charge 10% for it, with the addition of Governmental Tax, the total tax is 20 %. It'll quite blow your bill.. But believe me, with the big portion and the best flavor, it's all worth it!!

And if im not succesfully persuade you with how authentic this place is, when you're there, make sure you check the menu carefully, because you'll find some English spelling error. I bet you've heard that Japanese are famous for the amateurish english translation. Need proof, check this pic below.

notice the blunder?

I Heart Africa!

Another gastronomy fiesta. The Craziest i've ever been. The Destination is called Tanah Abang and the dish is called Sate Africa. Too bad it's in Jakarta :(

It was Saturday, the second Saturday in the holy Ramadan, my team that day was Swasti and Fani. We were fully equipped with needs and wants and money of course. We jot down the places we wanted to go before the Sate Africa finally came out as the winner. Believe me it was madness. The place first of all, located in the heart of African Residence in Jakarta. The eatery is located beside the museum textile. The food is lamb grilled with onion and as the side dish, you can pick banana, yes banana, or rice. We chose both of them and they're both nice. The Price, save yourself about IDR 60.000 for the whole meal and drink.

Quickie Lunch

Need a quick lunch but surely has to be delicious at the same time. Then, head yourself to Ranch Market in The Oakwood Mega Kuningan, because they're now serving a various kinda meal in affordable price. A combo you just can't miss. Just a couple days before entering the fasting month, my friend Swasti took me and Nika to undergo the place.

"It's not just a supermarket," that's my first impression of the place since in its terrace you could find many lines of tables with an orange-colored chair. The lines were'nt full at the time due to the end of lunch time, but i'm sure if we arrived at 12-ish, the condition would be different. When you enter the supermarket, then you'll find a magazine rack on your left and next to it there were the fridges for the food that you can choose to be cooked for your meal. The prepared foods consist of many kinds such as barbeque or grilled one (ranging from chicken, meat, lamb, ribs, seafood), selection of pastas, salads, and some local food like Soto, Nasi Goreng Kampung, Oxtail Soup, etc. You can also choose three choices of dishes with rice for only IDR2 25.000.

And the best thing of the place iiiis.. You can pick your own drink from the supermarket and pay as the price stated. I picked a 500 ml of Nestle Pure Life for only IDR 1.100 to accompany my IDR 28.000 boneless grilled chicken with barbeque sauce with belgian french fries as my side dish. Isn't it great? You can savor the superb meal in the decent yet clean table that the Ranch Market has provided.
