Our Future House (Apartment)

Kopitiam: Peranakan Style Café

The Fried Cassava

The Chicken Briyani
So what is Kopitiam? Kopitiam is actually from the word "Coffee" and "Time" (then maybe miss-pronounced and along the way invent the word), because in the tea/coffee break time people usually snack and chat with friends. The concept Kopitiam offers is a place for chit chat and snacking, so that is why the food offered is rather light. Menu range from toast to laksa (prawn noodle in curry).
Today I hang out with friends, and had a dinner (nowadays people go to Kopitiam at any time, breakfast to supper!) in Oey Kopitiam in Sabang, just near our office. We ordered Fried Cassava and Roa Sambal for the appetizer, Crab Noodle (Mie Kepiting), Fried Rice and Anchovy (Nasi Goreng Teri Medan), and Chicken Briyani (pour moi!). We were pleased with the food (although I had tasted better Briyani before) and the price. What I really like the most is the quick service and the Teh Tarik (Tea with condensed milk made in special way to add the foam on top).
Happy weekend!!!

The Spanish Doughnut Called Churros
Homer from The Simpsons (the cartoon TV series) is such a big fan of doughnut. Doughnut is a sort of bread, ring shaped in most part of the world. When the Americans go to Krispy Kreme, I go to Churreria..
So what is Churreria? It is a spanish cafe where you can get churros, a spanish doughnut. Churros is very different from the common doughnut, as its shape is long and thick, and usually eaten dipped in melted chocolate.
In Churreria Grand Indonesia, Central Jakarta, they offered whole lot of churros menu. From the churros itself (2 options: sugarand/or cinnamon sprinkled) served with four kinds of dipping ( dark choc, milk choc, white choc, and/or caramel), to the one shown in the picture (I forgot the name). The churros is such delish although it is so mini in size. The dippings are so-so. The ice cream is nice (who could resist an ice cream???). But the big no-no is the golden coin chocolate, from giant (yes, the retail chain.. like, oh come on, you lazy overpriced cafe..).
Overall, love spending the night with friends.. I miss u guys.. Xoxo..

The Books I Bought in 2011 That I Have Not Read

2011 is like a lazy year for me.. I bought several books, from texts, non-fictions, chicklits.. And I could only manage to read several chicklits.. Yaiks, I don't even have time to read those chicklits..
So, this year I wanted to read more.. Hopefully I could manage to write more reviews, and apply the ideas grasped.. Starting from Mr Jayakumar's Diplomacy: A Singapore Experience maybe? (Note: The book was recommended by my current boss few months ago, but I was unfortunate to experience the luxury of spare time) And yeah, I need to start it like NOW!
