Hong Tang

Working at Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) for the past (almost) four years, I feel the urge to mind what people say about foodism at PIK. One of the names I often hear is Hong Tang.

According to some people, Hong Tang is a dessert shop from Taiwan. Other brands will be Black Ball, Honeymoon Dessert, Honey Bean and some more names that I cannot understand. And among them, Hong Tang is said to be the best.

So me and my friend went there last Tuesday. It took only 10min drive from our school to this shop. It was quiet but people kept coming in when we left around 12 am. I asked the waiter to point out their specialty. So, the best sellers are Grass Jelly 29, (something) 41 and Hong Tang 80.

We ordered Grass Jelly 29, just with different ice cream flavour. So here is mine with Matcha (green tea) ice cream. It was great. I love it. But maybe next time, I’ll try not to be health-freak and order different ice cream flavour.

Cut The Crab, will ya’ ?

Today,  was somewhat an extraordinary day. It’s a rare occasion for me and my friends went out for early dinner. Well, one of them is my diner-buddy but the other one is a busy mother with 2 kids. So, I was delighted to have her with us.

We went to a new seafood restaurant, Cut The Crab, one of the restaurants that stretches at Pantai Indah Kapuk Area, exactly next to the famous Ramen restaurant, Hakata Ikkousha Ramen. You wouldn’t miss it.

It was 3.15 pm. So the place was empty. There’s a small aquarium next to the door in which you were to decide the size of your crab if you were ordering crab dish. Today, they only had M size crab. Well, perfect for the three of us to share.

After  choosing our crab, we picked our seats and studied their menu. Basically they only had 3 main courses and 6 side dishes. One of the main courses was the Crab Combo, their specialty. We chose fried potatoes, boiled sweet potato and rice to accompany our crab. There were some side dishes too and choices of extra veggies for the crab, but prefer not.

The waiter, after taking our orders, covered our table with oil paper and gave our bottomless ice teas. It’s true what they said, no plates, they would just put the crab on the table point blank. Then he came with paper apron which was cute. 🙂

Cakery: TLJ + 12CC

Happy Bday Asha!

She turns 1 few days ago! And she had a wonderful bday looking by the cake she had. Yumm!!

According to her mum who is one of my bestfriends, this selection of TLJ cake is also quite dry. I think they need to do a real makeover to their cake recipe. Maybe recipe for bread is just not right for cake. Their presentation is really appealing though. So, at least they are doing right on something.

Sumoboo!

 

If you fancy hot food, noodle and cold dessert. I know a right place for you. SUMOBOO!

Sumoboo, located at the Ruko Crown Golf Mediterania, Jl. Marina Indah Golf, Pantai Indah Kapuk. phone: 021-96628677, is famous for its Nutella Bomb dessert. In fact they have a range of cold dessert with wonderful and appealing look that would make you want to try all.

Treasures for a woman’s heart

Ladies out there… what do you treasure the most?

hmmm… if I am to answer that question few months back, the options would be…

1. My BRAIN, though I am not a Berkeley graduate, but I am not a dumb dumb blonde girl… at the very least I know how to tab my own bill.
2. My BEAUTY, I always say I am beautiful. Then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
3. My BEHAVIOUR, I can be cool and collected even when I am about to explode. I use kind gestures, encouraging expressions, and positive words to most people around me. I know my way around people. I read Malcolm Gladwell’s books.

But right now, I tell you, I treasure something rather different. And it’s totally true what they said, where your treasure is, your heart is.
