Do you dare to eat McDonalds Fries with ice cream cone? When I read this article in Flipboard I was lol-ing. Because I know what people will think of this menu as one those thing that only Japanese would enjoy (yes, this menu only available in McDonalds Japan). But that’s not the reason I was laughing. The real reason I was laughing was because I know it will taste good. Because maybe it’s my 13th year advocating people to dare to try to snacking their McFries using ice cream cones. I’m not kidding, it taste real good! Ok, let me get it straight. My first encounter with ice cream cones…

This is the ultimate reason I won’t replace my MacBookAir The main reason I love MacBookAir is because it’s made from metal. I’m not that neat type girl, and I dropped my laptop many times. That’s why I love metal case, because it’s stronger than plastic case definitely. The downside is that I can’t stick sticky notes on it.

I try to write as short as possible because I’m afraid the pencil dust will broke…

Guilty Pleasure: Bolen One of my favorite traditional snack is Bolen. I think it’s originally from Bandung, the town I lived in now, there are so many snack store selling it. I like to eat it for breakfast, with a cup of coffee. Because I love consume something sweets as a day starter and it comes in small package too. Basically, Bolen is a roll of layers of thin pastry with filling inside. The traditional one have banana as a filling, the most fusion style add cheese and chocolate chips with the banana. Lately you can find more fancy fillings, like green tea or tiramisu. But my favorite is durian…

Speculaas, biskuit rempah tradisional ala Belanda Satu lagi hasil lapar mata. Saya menemukan biskuit ini dijual di Indomaret di rest area KM 97 tol Cipularang. Saya sendiri belum pernah melihat biskuit merk ini sebelumnya dimanapun. Saya akhirnya memutuskan membeli karena tertulis “Biscuit with spices”, karena saya memang agak tergila-gila dengan segala sesuatu yang bernuansa rempah. Ketika dimakan, sejujurnya saya agak kecewa, karena yang terasa hanya rasa kayu manis, padahal di kemasannya tergambar banyak jenis rempah. Tapi setelah dicek di bahan-bahannya hanya tertulis “bumbu”. Karena penasaran, akhirnya browsing sana-sini dan menemukan banyak sekali resep dari biskuit Speculaas ini yang ternyata sudah mulai dibuat oleh orang Belanda semenjak abad ke-15. Dulu, Speculaas…

Bento Life: Tumis Jamur Tiram dan Baso Ikan Membuat menu bento sebenarnya tidak sulit, kuncinya adalah mencari menu yang tetap enak dimakan dingin. Tumisan sederhana, seringkali justru menjadi menu yang sempurna. Untuk orang yang sulit bangun pagi seperti saya, membuat bento untuk makan siang di kantor ternyata benar-benar sebuah tantangan. Bento saya siang ini  memenuhi persyaratan makan saya, yaitu mengandung karbohidrat, protein dan serat. Dan tentu saja masih enak walaupun sudah dingin. Karbohidrat: Nasi putih Serat: Sayuran beku kukus dan tumis jamur Protein: Tahu dikukus, Tempe dan Tumis baso ikan Tumis jamur dan baso ikan ini salah satu menu favorit saya. Karena selain membuatnya gampang sekali, rasanya yang sangat kuat…
