IKEA - ALAM SUTERA, INDONESIA

IKEA goes to Indonesia!

On 2014, the world largest furniture retailer, IKEA, opened their store in Alam Sutera, Tangerang, Indonesia. Soon, this place becomes trends all over the media. Its unique design concept makes teens and young adults love to take photos. IKEA Restaurant also becomes trend with its famous meatballs. Many people curious to feel the real self-service atmosphere, including me.

I went to IKEA several times but never had the opportunity to taste the feel of IKEA Restaurant. One day, my lecturer ask the whole class to go to IKEA for observation. That's the first time I taste IKEA's food.

OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE - JAKARTA, INDONESIA

I have routine to have a quality time with my aunt. This time, we went to Kuningan City and had brunch at OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE. When I first came in, I can feel the relaxing atmosphere. It was quite quiet because it hadn't lunch time. We arrived at about eleven and was served with Breakfast menu.

Our appetizers was Half Kookaburra Wings. It is chicken wings tossed in a savory blend of secret spices and paired with OUTBACK's cool creamy Blue Cheese dressing and celery. The taste of the chicken wings was unexpected. I was really savor. The skin was also crunchy and the sauce made it more perfect. We ordered half portion for 8 pieces of chicken wings so that we can eat another menu :)

BEAR BRAND GOLD with WHITE MALT

This time, I will share FnB product I consume frequently: BEAR BRAND. The first time I tasted bear brand was when I was about 8 year old. That time, I was sick really bad and my mom gave me bear brand. I don't like it. Since then, I called bear brand as sick people's milk.

On 2013, Nestle launched Bear Brand Gold with two variants: white tea and white malt. I tried Bear Brand Gold white malt and fall in love with it. I had a problem with my stomach and bear brand is so effective to relieve the ache, especially when I haven't filled my potluck.

LASAGNA GULUNG - BOGOR, INDONESIA

Back to Bogor, I would like to show you the most popular food in Bogor: LASAGNA GULUNG or rolled lasagna. The place was more like house than a restaurant, making it so cozy. They are not only selling lasagna gulung, but also makaroni panggang (baked macaroni). Since lasagna gulung is quite unique, I'll share it from my potluck.

Just like other lasagna, it consists of minced meat, cheese, and tomato sauce. But lasagna gulung also add some greens inside its lasagna. One lasagna gulung can be cut into 11 pieces, big enough for a family.The taste was good, better if you eat it just after it came out from the oven. When I took a bite, I can feel a mixture of meat, greens, cheese, tomato, and lasagna blended together, making a really nice taste inside my mouth.

SUMOBOO - JAKARTA, INDONESIA

Hello!
It has been several weeks since the last time I shared my potluck. Honestly, it has been hectic weeks, I only got three to five hours to sleep. Finally I get some rest and able to show you another food from my potluck!

There's a unique dessert restaurant called SUMOBOO. The first SUMOBOO is located in Pantai Indah Kapuk, but now they have opened some branches. The one I visited was in Central Park, Jakarta. It has bigger place than the first one and the decoration is cute. I have come here several times with my friends and my aunt and still can't get enough!

BEBEK TEPI SAWAH - BALI, INDONESIA

Hello guys, it's been more than a week. Well, last week had been such a hectic week with those assessment queuing to be done. But, now I will share a traditional Indonesian restaurant in Bali: BEBEK TEPI SAWAH. Actually we can find this restaurant in Jakarta, but the first restaurant was opened in Bali. BEBEK TEPI SAWAH. Bebek means duck. Yup, this restaurant cooks the best duck in town. I'm in love with the fried duck. Meanwhile, sawah means rice field and tepi sawah means on the side of rice field or right beside rice field. When you go to BEBEK TEPI SAWAH in Bali, you are really eating right beside rice fields. They have a really nice view and atmosphere. It's really suitable to eat lunch with the whole family.

LOCALE 24 Diner & Bar - JAKARTA, INDONESIA

Last September, my best friend, Ella, came back from Manchester. It had been about a year since our last meeting. A lot of things happened in a year, and a lot of new restaurants were opening. In 2014, a place called Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) in North Jakarta happened to be a hype for having a lot of unique concept of restaurant, bistro, and cafe. When we were planning our food hunting, I suggested to go to PIK and she was very exited. We found a cute bistro called LOCALE 24 Dinner & Bar.

METIS - BALI, INDONESIA

Hello!

For my first post as a food blogger (read the story here), I want to tell you that my potluck filled with dainty meals.

It was back on 20th July 2014 when my potluck arrived at Metis Bali, a fancy french Restaurant. I was on my trip with two of my best friends when we found this glamorous restaurant. We walked in and were welcomed with sweet yellow and gold lights. A waitress led us to our table and gave us the menu. I looked through the menu, thinking what meal should I fill my potluck with.
