Hunan Kitchen - Most delicious spicy dishes in town !


Other than seafood, I've been craving to eat spicy dishes too!
So today , I'm going to write a review about Szechuan cuisine. Most of Szechuan dishes are spicy. It has bold taste of spices because it is composed of seven basic flavours: sour, pungent, hot, sweet, bitter, aromatic, and salty ( I got this info from Wiki). Since i LOVE spicy, salty and aromatic foods, this restaurant is very suitable for my taste !

The Restaurant is called Hunan Kitchen. It is located in Mangga Besar (Chinatown area) - West Jakarta. We call this area as "Glodok". ( FYI - This restaurant serve Non Halal foods)

The restaurant looks :





Today I went there with my bf and 2 close friends. We were too excited to eat here (actually we are really BIG fan of this restaurant !!). We often eat here but never write the review (my friend has blog too). Since i'm writing blogs nowadays, i decided to write a special impression to this restaurant.

Today we ordered our favorite menus which were : Tim Kodok ala Hunan, Baby Buncis Cabe Kering & Samchan ala Hunan ( not sure with the english name, so i write it in Bahasa).

The dishes look like this : 


Samchan ala Hunan





Baby Buncis Cabe Kering





 Tim Kodok ala Hunan


All of the dishes taste GREAT ! The special soup of Tim kodok ala Hunan made us sweating and crying hahahahaha ! The soup is made of chili, garlic and some other spices. And believe it or not we ordered extra soup and finished it ( Oh God! we have no idea what will happen tomorrow - maybe stomach ache?). For Samchan ala Hunan, it is kind a stir fry lard with spring onion, chili and garlic. I like the lard here because the lard is dry, not too wet or oily), Lastly baby buncis itself tastes really different with others' restaurant. This one is veryyyyy special ! It is still crunchy although the shape looks like that. We have no idea how it is made.

Will we come back to this restaurant? Definetly YES !!!

Tokyo Banana


Hi everyone !

It's me again, today I'm going to make a review about famous Japanese cake named Tokyo Banana.
Yes! it is like a must buy cake in Japan. I got this from my brother who just came back from Japan and he actually brought me another snacks but i forgot to take a picture of it 
( everything just left on my mind hahaha).

How it looks like :




It has REALLY pretty packaging in soft yellow with a lil cute ribbon on the top banana icon. It's just like a christmas or birthday present because the packaging is wrapped neatly ! Ok let's open this box...




Inside the white box, it contains 8 packs of banana cakes, I'm going to try one of these cakes!



The texture is really fluffy and when you press it, it will come back to the actual shape


When u bite it, the banana filling melt on your mouth, the filling taste good and it has thick consistency filling, not too sweet or too plain for me (just in right sweetness). The aroma of the filling also smells really nice ! But what i rally like about this cake is the texture of it, superrrrr soft ! It feels like clouds.
If i have to score this cake i'll give 9 points out of 10 !!!

On internet i found that it has some other kind of varieties too , like this : 


OMG!! This one is justttttttttt too pretty to eat ! Maybe next time I'll try this one !!

Thanks for reading my blog, please leave a comment =)

My first post !


Hi everyone ! 

Soooooo.. this is my first blog and I'm really excited about it !
Well, all I can say is..I really want to start this since long time ago ! Even I made this blog around 6 months  ago if I'm not wrong. But the thing is..I'm TOO LAZY to start with all of this till I really have nothing to do and something just came up on my mind like "heyyyyy, why don't u start writing a blog? U always have nothing to do! " hahaha...

Actually, i read others' people blogs everyday and I'm like "Wow, this blog is so useful or Wow this blog has nice story to read!". Whatever it is, hell yeah I'm writing a blog right now (in the middle of the night and now is around 2.30 AM !!! lol

If u are wondering with what makes me still awake at this hour while people are sleeping..and of course it is my super bad habit which is hell yeahhhhh INSOMNIA.. -_- ! 
I wish i could sleep around 9 or maybe 10 pm so i'll have a really healthy mind and body on the next day.
Actually during this hour i feel like want to have supper (ups i think breakfast) since i'm reading a lot of culinary blogs right now. One of the interesting blogs i'm reading is about seafood. Yes, been craving seafood  since this whole week and have no time to taste it. Well..well, i think tomorrow i'm going to taste it since i'll go hang out to some areas that have a lot of seafood restaurants in there.

Let's go back to the topic about my first blog!
I don't put an introduction about my biography because i think people can search that on facebook or any other social media. Actually i make this blog in order to share what i really like and dislike about a lot of things. Moreover i can use this blog to write some kind of reviews..say it like..foods, fashion, pets, places and so on. I don't make a blog to show off or whatever it is, i feel like everything can be found in blogs and blogs are very useful for my daily information needs. Maybe later after i post some more posts, i hope that my future blogs are very useful for other people too.

That's it for today! Thanks for reading, i'm a beginner for writing a blog, if there is any mistakes please tell me , so i can make better progress in future =)
