for all of you.

maaf atas segala kesalahan dan semoga semua bisa dimulaikembali dengan hati yang ikhlas.

 

cerita lebaran kemaren.

well, nuthin special actually. back to Bekasi, where things so silence and still.

hanging out with family, entertained my grandma altho since she has dementia she oftenly asking my name in the middle of conversation. so sad, wondering how would i be on my 80s? surely i wanna be around to see my children and grandchildren grow up but will it possible not to forget them?

Lebaran in Jakarta felt like another holiday… no traffic jam for sure, which is the only good thing about having the festive here.

well… so on Tuesday afternoon i packed my bag, kissed my cats goodbye ( :D ) locked my flat, and take cab back home. You know, altho the traffic is very good, the taxi fare cost me almost the same, blah… blame the distance.

the moment i get there, after chit here chat there…i almost died in bored face. i finished reading “Behaving Badly” and got nothing more to do. all the preparation is done for Eid. then i wandering around the house and decide to buy Yoghurts as an excuse to go out.

At the Alfamart nearby i found VCD “Radit ♥ Jani” been wanting to see this movie, another labour of love of Upi Avianto & Vino G Bastian.

went back home, and watched “21″ the movie is interesting, althou i think “Good Will Hunting” is more thrilling. i can’t really catch the genious actions of Jim Sturgess when he cheated on Black Jack table. He looks preppie and nerdie, yes. But, i need more actions on the table. overall the movie is good and entertaining. and, i love Jim Sturgess, he’s hot.

after the movie, i cannot sleep on my own room, weird.

i turned off the light, and watched the fireworks from neighbours backyard flying high in night sky thru my window… beautiful.

as always… things so silence and still in this house.

The Eid morning is quite fun, bermaaf-maafan dan ngobrol2 sma seluruh keluarga, secara langsung juga telefon jarak jauh dan email-emailan.

on the afternoon, me and my sis went to Metropolitan Mall to buy groceries for home. i don’t understand how everyone can live with only green sands and vegetable in fridge. i bought fresh salted fish, more vegetables, snacks and snacks and snacks. i don’t want waste my gym membership fee for all those Eid food in coconut milk. No Way.

The second day, i went to my Datuk’s house. it’s my father side of family. Wow, almost everyone that live in Jakarta was there, i even got a chance to meet cousins i never seen in years. among them, i look so chinese, my father is Indian, all of the family married also indian. They have big eyes, tanned skin color, and full figure. sumhow, i got 2/3 of my mother. but everyone there said i looked like my father a lot. yeah, everyone in my mom’s family said, i look more like my mom day by day. whatever.

after that, me and my sis escape to mall again huheuehue. we tried Bekasi Cyber Park since my childhood friend make fun of me about it. I didn’t understand when he said BCP..BCP, he said it only shows how rare i went home. well…yeah…

BCP, is dissapointing… didn’t found anything interesting there, and i do not want to east another fast food. so, we go back to Met Mall.

O my God, in Met Mall was very crowded. tried to wandering around but i almost got panic attack for having so much people around. No Air bo hihihihi

finally, my sis dragged me to 21, may be we can find interesting movie, she said. well, i doubt about that, but i dun’t have another options.

She picked “Chika” since i already saw Laskar Pelangi the week before, and “Suami-Suami Takut Istri” is abviously not an option!

The movie is okay….well, nothing new, another teenage candy movie from Soraya Intercine Films. The cast is not special, the storyline is so-so, and Soraya Intercine Films still sold “living Indonesian Dreams” things in this movie. you know, big fancy houses, fancy cars, pretty girls meet handsome boys, the world where girls made of cotton candy, chocolate and all the sweet things.

oyea, before the movie start, i got a chance to go to AH and ordered “Mini Double Chocolate” i really missed this cake.

well, after my tongue contaminated with Bakerz-In, Gelato Bar, to be honest AH’s DOuble Chocolate doesn’t taste so good anymore but it brings back old memories. The restaurant is very crowded, feel uneasy, after finishing our cake, i dragged my sis to Gramedia.

Accidentally, passed the buckets where old vcd was on sale. i flipped them back and forth with no effort and guess what i found? “THE ELEPHANT” i screamed instantly. i’ve been looking for it everywhere! and i found it here? in a mall far-far away hidden in discounted shell? am i lucky or what?

after the movie, i remember i passed ”Eaton” on my way from Gramedia to 21. well, i must say, this is the first time i eat in Eaton where it doesn’t feel right at all.

The food is awful, the table smell weird and the service is so-so. we ordered Fish Pooridge, Fried Seafood Kwaytiow and Fried-oh-whatever that thing.

I remember Eaton in Taman Anggrek, not really a good comparison with this one. It’s like David and Goliath.

Good thing i have chance to stop by in BRead Talk, i need a re-bound. We went home and watch Radit and Jani in my room. Luckily i charged my laptop battery while we were out. The Movie is beyond my expectation, i hve this ugly cry at the end of the movie hehehehe.

Fahrani doesn’t act stunningly, but good enough, Vino Bastian well… he’s quite good. The storyline is amazing! i love how they used dirty words effortlessly. However, the dark punk situation they tried to visualized, to me is a bit “out-of-nowhere”.

Well, that’s all the folk.

Good Food For your Seoul (maksa dikit)

July 9, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Han Gang

Korean Food Art Restaurant & Grill

Grand Indonesia, Sky Bridge Level 3a

Shop Unit FDL-08

Tel. +62 21 23580710

 

Hari sabtu yang lalu, g, Dadi dan Sheilla dengan semangat 45 menuju Grand Indonesia. G dan Dadi bertekad untuk Makan dan Makan, sedangkan Sheilla dari rumah udah wanti-wanti g untuk gak lupa bawa pocket cam untuk foto2 di Crossroads of The Worldnya Grand Indonesia. hihihi…. Narsis itu suatu kelebihan loh.

Sekitar dua minggu lalu, pas lagi ngopi-ngopi di Arabusta Coffee, g bilang ama Dadi, kayaknya resto Korea di seberang itu asyik deh interiornya. so, kali ini melangkahlah kita ke sana.

Di pintu depannya yang unik kita disambut dua pelayan berbaju tradisional Korea dengan sapaan:

“Anyong Seo” ?!! atau begitulah kedengarannya, kalo salah tolong dikoreksi.

Karena sudah laper banget, tibalah kami di acara inti….Makan!

Kita pesen:

Kimchi Jeon-Gol yang Local

rasanya enaaakkkk buanget, bner-bner makanan yang bertendensi menggemukkan secara kalo dimakan pake nasi, nasinya sebakul juga kuat diabisin saking cocoknya.  Tofunya lembut tapi gak ancur ketika disendok. Yum Yum…. kebetulan g lagi flu jadinya badan anget banget pas makan ini, hmmm enaak. Yang impor pasti lebih enak lagi ya, local aja segini mantepnya.

Jangan salah, yang local dan Import itu Kimchinya loh alias si Sawi Asin yang sangat digemari orang Korea itu. G sendiri sih gak terlalu suka kecuali kalo udah jadi perasa makanan. jadi gak gitu ngaruh buat g local or import gitu looohh…

lagipula g seneng banget makan pake sendok khasnya Korea itu. itu loh, yang bentuknya panjang, terus kepala sendoknya cenderung mbulet. kayak gini nih:

hihihi jadi inget adegan-adegan makan di Film “My Sassy Girl” de el el….

 

terus kita juga pesen Dolsot Yache Bibimbab, tapi mohon maap yak, begitu pesenan kita dateng langsung dihajar, setengah jalan baru sadar lupa difoto. jadi ya bginilah fotonya….

Mengenaskan ya…. hihihihi jadi keliatan kayak telor dadar di mangkuk hotstone. tadinya ada irisan daging, dedaunan (semua sayur itu daun bagi g), telur dan Kimchi.

Terus kita pesen sumthin-sumthin-oyster aduh maap, saya memang pereview amatiran, saking napsongnya makan lupa nyatet judul makanan ketiga ini. yang jelas mirip2 bakwan (degradasi banget nih) tapi enak banget loh! trus didalemnya ada potongan2 Oyster rebus, slurph! nyummmiii!

ini penampakan si sumthin-sumthin-oyster:

satu hal lagi, kalo ke Han Gang dan kamu tipe yang mirip kyk g, nafsu gede tenaga kurang, pertimbangkan utuk pesen dikit dulu. karena ketika nunggu pesenan dateng, kita dapet compliment dari Han Gang banyaaak banget cemilan. udah 1/3 kenyang deh ketika pesenan yang buanyak itu dateng. ini nih compliment yang g bilang,

Yang paling kiri bawah, itu siput. makannya harus disedot rada kaget gitu, nah bingung kan? sama….orang g juga cuma berhasil nyedot dua sisanya g korek pake garpu :p

harga-harga di Han Gang juga lumayanlah, gak terlalu mahal tapi gak murah juga. however, it’s really worth it.

Dolsot Yache Bibimbab harganya IDR 43,000/portion, Kimchi Jeon-Gol Local IDR 110,000/portion kalo yang import IDR 135,000.

selesai makan dapet compliment lagi, semangkuk semangka iris yang dingin…haaa…seger.

alhamdulillah, makan siang kali  ini enaaaak banget. ketika keluar dari Resto rasanya dunia kembali bulat hehehehe….
