Waittt....

twins?? @.@

Ohh noo.... I've mistakenly recognized him as Jeffrey Dean Morgan!!! Zzzzz... how come these men look alike???! The one who played in Grey's Anatomy was actually the man on the right, Dean Morgan hahahaaaa.... XD

Whatever.

I like the Italy part, made me craving so bad for thin-crust pizza!!! OMG, I also want to have the whole pan only for myself!! Where can I find it here?? 

I don't like the India part.. no particular reason, only because it's telling me how Liz's trying to get her spiritual balance (read: too much meditation, no travelling scene = boring)

And at last.. I like the Indonesia part! Ubud is beautiful, yea... Ketut Liyer and his female assistant are funny, and both of Liz and Felipe's houses are pretty!! If someday I go back to Bali I also want to rent a place like that and spend a whole day's worth only lazying on my bed, reading books, or admiring the view. What a relaxing holiday it could be!

K, nuff of daydreaming!

The work in school today was fun, too. I had anticipated that the students would rebel during examination, but they didn't. They were a lil' too noisy, but it's okay and still manageable. Love them! :) Therefore the examination finished earlier than I thought so I had the chance to try the canteen's food hehe..

This one is very good! Beef and green peas sweet soup, topped with Chinese style fried chicken chunks and crispy shallot. And this stuffed my stomach very well!

Guess the price!

Damn, I looooveeeeee school's canteen XDD~~

P.S. Checked Lee Hom's newest album in the mall but it still isn't there yet... Tsk tsk tsk.. what makes Sony BMG take frigging long time to release it here?!! Oh, c'monnnn.... :S

junk I love

After my corned-beef addiction is over, now it's SPAM's turn!! Am marking four days now, in a row... XD
I usually like it thin-sliced with crispy-fried edge, but I also used to eat it right from the can hehe..

holiday

Teeheee~ a short holiday for Eid Raya finally. However, as for me everyday is like a holiday, this time doesn't feel as special as previous years - as when I was in school and mad busy with clinic requirements. If you don't suffer, you won't know how to enjoy it haha.. ;) Work starts again on Monday, some offices open on Wednesday.. For me, the sooner the better, I'm freaking bored already.. Not that I hate holiday la, but I think I have had too much spare time now that I think I don't need a holiday. Well, at least not in this month, not in next month as well..

Today we had a family dinner to celebrate my sis & bro's birthday. Theirs were on Aug 28, but because my brother was still in Yogyakarta at that time, we postponed and just had it today. Went to our favourite restaurant but I was disappointed they didn't have the shrimp I had been craving for days.. T__T But I finally managed to try the newly-opened Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks. They had been available in Jakarta since quite long time ago, but just opened their very #1 counter in Surabaya only few weeks ago. 

My favouritest had to be 超大雞排 aka XXL Cripsy Chicken!!! 

Took the picture from its web cos I didn't take any. Omg, IT'S DELIRIOUSLY YUMMY!!!! It's super tasty, garlicky, and full of MSG-laden goodness!!!!! I'm salivating and my stomach is growling again as I'm typing this post now..... T_T It's weird enough that when I was in Taipei I also went to several night markets,  but I didn't remember I'd ever had this snack. I think what I only had there were dough fritters and a kind of oyster dish, which was shitty thus made me hesitate to try another dishes.. But a friend told me that it shouldn't taste that bad and perhaps I picked the wrong seller.. Whatever la! Ji pai FTW!!! Hahahaha... xD

Oh yeah, these few days the weather was too friendly... The air is cool, sky is shady... only make me stick to my bed even worse haha.. But tomorrow I'm gonna take a walk'!! I think since it's a Raya, then mostly people are going to relatives' house rather than taking walk on the street. So yeah, I hope the streets are pretty empty... 

Will I have enough will?? We'll see ;)

Rollaas

Yesterday was a bit out of my habit.. I am no fan of coffee shops, name them Starbucks, Dante, Excelso.. reasons are simple: 1) I don't tolerate high caffeine drinks very well; 2) I can't feel their meals filling my stomach enough :P
But yesterday, as Red Mango was packed with people, we checked the neighboring counter, a newly-opened coffee shop named Rollaas.

It's owned by PT Perkebunan Nusantara 12 aka PTPN 12. The 'Rollaas' name comes from Javanese word rolas for twelve. Their signature drink is Kopi Luwak (click here for explanation), which is said to be served with a special  brewing tool. But as I was not willing to pay IDR 100K for A CUP of Kopi Luwak, I ordered  other drink hehe..

Mine was Cafe Borgia, recommended by the waitress, comprised of three different layers: mandarin orange, coffee, and whipped cream on top. The waiter explained to me a simple how to drink it. Don't try to stir it! Instead, put the straw in and sip the mandarin layer, then lift a bit and sip the coffee layer, after that lift more and sip the creamy top. Mix 'em in your mouth, not in the glass! 

My verdict? It tasted refreshing! The coffee taste wasn't strong and mandarin orange made it nicer. Eventually I did stir the three layers and it became like...pweh. Hahaha.. better not mix the layers... xD

Also ordered from their pastry list. As we were quite late, all salty pastries were sold out and only sweet desserts were available. 

The chocolate something was great, but the strawberry cheesecake was not :(

Till the end of July, they give 25% off for all beverages. Oh I wanna go again to eat the curry puffs.. And if you don't like coffee, they also serve tea and chocolate drinks.. might try 'em next time :D
