Restrospect

I have to start with wishing....

and apologies for me not updating sarsaparilla for months. It's impossible to find a good enough internet connection and i just don't have much time anymore. But enough about that ...

the truth is I have been out and about capturing food again


Marenggo, Tebet Indraya Square

PS: I'm officially off lectures so I'm free now till February. So, I'll be sure to eat more *hopefully don't gain more*


Next eatery:
Holy Cow Steak!

Transport Me

After church last Sunday, on my way to see ONROP!, I made a stop at Menteng Huis looking for lunch. There is H.E.M.A a Dutch themed restaurant. It was empty and dark. At first it was a disappointment but I love its cuisine so I went anyway.

Going there with my brother, he order Kippen Borst Speciaal, which is a grilled chicken breast drenched in cream sauce, with cheese covered potato wedges. It as good as chicken can get. I love the generous cream sauce and the fact that they use potato wedges instead of baked potato. It was interesting.

I, on the other hand, order Hutspot met Klapstuk, a handful of mashed potatoes with pieces of grilled beef, again drenched in this generous cream sauce. The potato was good but I can't say the same about the meat. It was quite hard to chew.

Each meal go for 31k; the average price ranges are from 20k-50k. If you're looking for a light meal (well, it isn't light at all but still...) the portion is smaller than I expected. I found myself wanting more. But for ambience, maybe you should try the one in TIS (Tebet) because this branch was just too empty.

PS: I'm moving all my non-food related posts to http://feastontheeye.tumblr.com
this one is strictly food. Enjoy :D

Anyong Haseyo

Boulevard Raya Kelapa Gading

daeji galbi (pork barbeque) 79 IDR

kalbisal (beef barbeque) 149 IDR

altang (fish eggs soup) My favorite! Fish eggs are so good and I've never tasted such texture before. 85 IDR

Here are some of the appetizers:

Because I haven't been to any Korean barbeque except this one, I don't know how to rate this but it is very pricey for barbequed meat. Although the soup and meat quality are good, I think I won't be coming here very often.

Any recommendations on Korean BBQ?

Smoke in the House

I've let my blog astray for too long. So, here I am again, in the beginning of November, bringing some news. I've decided to make a new blog but will continue work in sarsaparilla, strictly for food. My other blog feast on the eye displays my other interests.

I haven't been able to dine at a lot of restaurants lately because I'm away to my college kost. When I'm home, I just want to rest and do nothing on my bed. Yesterday, though, I managed to go for dinner at Q Smokehouse, located in Setiabudi 1, H.R. Rasuna Said.

Here Now

As much as the excitement of finally learning in college, it has its very bad downside. I already got loads of assignments which are always indefinite. Indefinite here means it's unclear how to get a good score at some of the lectures! Most of these assignments are papers and essays. I have no idea how to make a good essay and live up to the lecturers' expectations! I think it's the biggest difference with school assignments, especially when I study something like psychology.
But I think I made a good choice.
Because I'm stuck in campus for a long time and too tired to do anything after lectures most days, I only visited several eating spots.

Peach Gallery at Jalan Sawo, just a very steps from the street leading to the UI train station. I noticed this eatery has a lovely theme, unlike most eateries in Jalan Sawo.

Bakso Balor. Bakso with beef and fat, literally. But it's pretty good.

Nasi Capcay. The vegetables weren't cooked very well (they should've cooked it longer) but it tasted good

Kantin Budaya or Kantin Sastra. Since it isn't my faculty, I had no idea what's good but I tried this Bakso Arema. It was bad at all. But I was wondering do they really have this in Malang? It's different from local bakso alright!

I've tried lots of other canteens and eateries but those are the ones that made an impression on my tastebuds. I'm hoping to spend more time trying various restos and eateries around Depok. Any suggestions?

PS: I tried White Elephant at Citos yesterday but the images are in my brother's phone so you'll have to wait until next weekend!

always,

Hana.
