Rumah Makan Sederhana

I've been eating at Padang Restaurants for the last 2 days in the row.

Yesterday, I had nasi padang at restaurant Garuda and today, I had it at Rumah Makan Sederhana.

At Garuda, there are more assortment but it's more expensive than Rumah Makan Sederhana.

As usual, I really enjoy the performance how the waiter is carrying the food to the table :) Sorry, the pictures kinda blur, the waiters weren't really cooperative since they must move and serve the food fast.

Jajanan Pasar Singkong

Mom bought jajanan pasar singkong from the wet market for breakfast :)

It's wrapped in an old newspapers and banana leaf.

Trans:
Jajanan = snacks
Pasar = market
Singkong = cassava


The main ingredient of this snack is made from cassava then the topping is steamed grated coconut and salt.

It only cost Rp. 2.000 (less than 20 cents or 1 RM)

Ketan Bakar

I called the Panasonic service centre and found out that my lumix digicam is fixed already! Yay! So, during lunch time, I went to pick it up.

On my way back to the office, I saw this guy selling Ketan Bakar which is roasted glutinous rice with sugar and dried coconut.

Happy to buy a slice of Ketan Bakar and able to use my digicam again :)

Manado Food

Yesteday, I went together with colleagues to a restaurant that serves Manado food for lunch but then at the end, I decided only to have dessert.

Manado food is seriously very hot and spicy! If you have a sensitve stomach, I don't recommend you to eat Manado food. FYI, most of Manado restaurants are serving dog and bat meat.

My colleagues had sour hot fish, chicken turmeric with potatoes, papaya’s flower, corn pancakes and 2 kind of chilies.


See... even for the dessert, the fried banana is eaten with anchovy chili.

The red bean with durian ice mixed together with chocolate condence milk is so unbelievable yummy :)
p.s: my digicam is broken and still at the service centre, thus I used my old SE handphone to take pictures :(

Bakmi Asui



This morning, I bought noodles from a noodle shop - Bakmi Asui, only 2 blocks from my house. It’s always very crowded especially in the morning. The meat is chicken and we can choose whether we want the breast or thigh part. It's a bit different than the other noodles because they give fresh lettuce and the chili sauce, it’s made from those very hot small green chilies.
