Blackball: cold Asian dessert

On my conquest exploring Asian dessert around my workplace before I leave, I came to the famous Blackball, Dessert House around PIK. 

 

I must say, I do not have enough experience to develop sensitive taste buds to distinguish the differences of oh-so-many new Asian dessert house in Jakarta, specifically in PIK area.

 

But I must say, as a non-chinese Indonesian, I am thrilled to see that this one provides wonderfully designed eating area while most of the others just give plain under-decorated plastic chairs and alumunium tables. You can see and feel the difference from the very step you enter in.

 

Taste of Home in far away land

It’s my sixth day living in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was like my life has turned completely upside down. Everything is almost the opposite.

Durian Cafè

Born and live in tropical paradise of Indonesia, I came to know lots of wonderful things that half of the world could never imagine seeing them. Of course I am referring to Durian. You might already knew it. It’s a tropical fruit found in SouthEast region of Asia. The famous hard-skin covered with spikes is the idea of Singapore Opera House, not that any durian every comes from Singapore. Sorry to say. Probably the most well breed durian is the Thailandnese, Monthong. But my friend will argue about this since she said her all time favourite is Penang durian (I forgot the name) which I have never tasted before. So, no point of arguing since I am not in the position to compare. I am easy to please person. So, I am good with small Indonesian under breed durian which taste absolutely amazing. And here, in Jakarta particularly, we dont just eat them fresh. We make them into dishes. How clever are we? 😋

Bakmi Aloi

One of my all-time favourite noodle dishes in Jakarta is from Bakmi Aloi.

At first, I consider my friend giving too much credit just for a noodle. C’mon… nothing beats Indomi Goreng! So I always turn down the offer eating Bakmi Aloi for lunch until one day out of the blue, my friend takes me there.

Keep The Fight.

Don’t settle for less.

Don’t sell yourself short.

Don’t be rushed into a feeling, a decision, an opinion.

Don’t let anyone talk you down.

Drop the mic often.

Prioritize, for our time on earth is short.

Think for yourself.

Find your vision. Listen.

Do not hide tears; they’re yours.

Trust God. Take heart. Keep passion.

Fight the good fight, fellow traveler.

Fight.

I and U

I wish I am prettier, sweeter and sexier.

I wish I am smarter, wealthier and sassier.

I wish I have all what it takes to turn you eyes to me.

Because I know,

I am to you is  like a line for your t and a dot for your i.

I am to you is like a soul for your music and a pair for your card.

I am to you is like two sides of the same coin.

I ask the owner of the universe of the chances of I and U.

I ask the world, oh surely, I ask the world of I and U.

And,

I ask the person in the mirror of how I love you.

We will be great together.

If only we were together.

Until I see you again, the line for my t and the dot for my i.
