Craving For Crispy Spicy Chicken

For uncounted.... so many times I and Tubby go to this place, yup the restaurant that one day I accidentally found to have a lunch at Grand Indonesia. Since the first bite of its crispy spicy chicken, I swear I will come back for that...hahahahaha lebay .

It's Kamikaze Karaage, 

They have crispy chicken with  selection spice, my favorite one is kamikaze, it's quite hot but I won't try harakiri sauce anymore, hahahahaha that should be insane you can eat chicken with super-duper-hot-sauce slowly... no...no...for me it's all about enjoying food, so when you want to decided spicy sensation but still enjoying your meal just choose kamikaze sauce, okay?! nah, the picture above is pretty good deal for me, it's mix karaage. There's chicken crispy karaage and beef yakiniku plus rice plus 2 sides menu like chiizu korokke and kani corn salad all cost about 30K IDR. Ahhh... since the easiest way and comfort place at GI I often go to GI just for having this japanese crispy chicken, actually they have others store like BSD, PVJ and CP. The last one is a new store and too bad they left bad impression, the place is too small and become crowded because most of customers using disdus voucher ( I have 5 vouchers for my own actually, but the crowded postponed me to use them). That place is quite far if I just want to have lunch at week day, that makes me looking out for another crispy chicken, (I hope kamikaze opening soon at cibubur, hihihihi), there you go the review about crispy chicken...

#Kamikaze Karaage

Yes, I crazy for the unique crispy outside and the yummy kamikaze sauce. Looks like it takes long time to cook, because the chicken is soak by spice, so after you have the crunchy skin (it's different from others fastfood fried chicken yaa) you will taste the juicy and spicy chicken. I don't know what kind of cooking technique they had, I used to order the chicken for take away, after hours, I still enjoy the crunchy skin at home. At Grand Indonesia they serve it very well, it took quite long time but it's okay they made by ultimate sacrifice so the taste never make you upset. the size of chicken is pretty big too and the best quality I guess. Ah their ocha also, the unique one, I know that should be the extracted one, but it's still refreshing and I love the smell of ocha.

#Bon Chon

This is korean crispy chicken I purposely find this crispy chicken at Gandaria City, they have more store than kamikaze, you can find it esily. They only have 2 kind of sauce original one or spicy. I choose spicy one. The size of chicken is small, cannot fullfilll your hunger tummy even concist of 5 pieces 1 portion, trust me. The sauce is so so, not too spicy even they said it's spicy one I guess they become red and shinny because of tomato sause, hihihihi...ummmm what else, yeah...I think they cooked it fastly thus they tasty untill the skin, the meat is still white and tend to tasteless. I quite upset with the service too as if we eating like a jokes, they only serve it with cardboard, morever if you order rice they give just like burger, without plate, hmmmm...but this one is more cheap than other.

#Omo! Chicken

Another korean spicy chicken. This is chicken fingers with hot sauce cost 25K IDR for 125 gram. They have a perfect match : ancovy and seaweed rice ball. About the taste looks like they cooked it beautifully and took quite long time. The sauce actually not my type because the spicy comes from pepper not chilli, it also have sweet aftertaste. I think it's worthed to try for pepper lover, because the pepper is so dominant here.

# Richeese Fire Wings

Actually this is the emergency, because I'm craving too much of spicy chicken, I found richeese factory at Cibubur Junction. They're on soft opening so I have special price that time. I spend less 100K IDR for two menus. I remember it was ramadhan, we breakfasting with fire wing ahahahaha...We choose level 3 of 5. I guess it will be so so. That's totally wrong... we have to eat it quickly, and buy extra drink. You will not be able to speak but only wipe your tears and sweat while eating. seriously. I used to think other blogger get it too much when reviewing this fire wing. This time you'll say that it is true...hahaha but the cheese sauce helps a lot for the burning tongue, here's some tips for eating-something-too-spicy ;

1. Bring your own tissue or hand kerchief to wipe your tears and sweat, seriously you'll need it.

2. Choose free flow drink (so you don't spend extra money for another drinks)

3. Choose high density drink (aaahhh what is that?!) just like milk for example, the particle will cover your tongue and dispel the burnt feeling quickly than just a water

4. Eat seriously, focus on what you eat, never laught at your mate face, it will took long time for your tongue to taste the spice

5. Eat quickly, so you don't have time to taste the too-spicy-food

6. DON'T touch your eyes soon after eat, even you already wash it, ahahahaha seriously that will burnt your eyes too...hahahaha

One day I and Tubby back again, we discussed many time wheter order level 5 or level 1 hahahahaa....finally order level 1 "Level 5 should be inhumane! that's not a food," said Tubby, hahahahahaha

#Shihlin Taiwan Street Food

I don't know much about this taiwan street food. The curriousity comes after I see that kind of food at anakjajan's instagram, she post token, I guess it's the same food.  I found it at CP. I forget what the name of this food something sound like XXL crispy chicken, I ordr this by pointing the food, hihihihih...So It's foured-deep-frying-chicken-fillet that chopped into pieces and sprinkled with seasoned and spicy powder. We eat using skewer, you'll spend about 25K IDR for one portion. That much enough, 2 person is enough to et one portion.

XOXO,

Literally Frozen by Froyo

Hey ho! I want to get my blog's life back  but then I realize that most of my recent post is about reviewing food. Well then, its just because I have tubby as a parter in crime tasting many kind of food, fulfill my craving of...anything. Recently I crave for frozen yogurt, so we having froyo race by taste about 4 frozen yogurt in one day, hihihihii.... I just currious what makes froyo stall different from others. So after fitness we straightly went to...

#Jcool by Jco

It's simply can be found in any JCo and this was the cheapest and the easiest froyo to find. We spent 25K IDR for double froyo with 2 + 1 topping. I choose straberry maochi, longan and almond for topping. There's only original froyo available, if I'm not mistaken jco also have twist froyo with bluberry or mango i guess, too bad I don't have experience tasting them, hihihi... So far Jco's original froyo have a light texture, the sour and sweeteness is enough. But Jco froyo easily melt so we have to be quick quick to eat... ahhhh yup, that was still early to buy froyo so they give the topping pretty much than usual hihihihi..

Done with Jco, we quickly went to Grand Indonesia to eat...Kamikaze #oops hahahaha of course we have to fill our stomach instead frozen by froyo, kamikaze is my favorite chicken cooked with japanese style, and umm maybe...I will tell you more about this in next post.

So! Back to topic, the second place of froyo race is....

#Red Mango

Based on our route we have to go to Plaza indonesia first, but when we use escalator the red mango stall looked clearly next to LG escalator, so we decided to try red mango first. Based on my survey on another blogger's experience, red mango's froyo is authentic one and famous because of leonardo de caprio have the red mango royo macine, hmmmm... we decided to order twin tower cost 52K IDR before tax, quite expensive for froyo, moreover we just eat the chepest froyo before. It's okay, if they said this is the authentic one, so I prepared my saliva for the extra sour froyo. I choose the same topping for froyo (mochi, longan and almond) and pick chocolate and blueberry for froyo. I get a lil bit upset when try the froyo, there's no sour taste at all, just like ice cream, uugghh maybe I didn't pick the original one. I don't know if froyo keep freeze for too much time being an advantage, that makes the texture is too "stiff" for me. This froyo is not my type, just to know...hihiihihii 

#Heavenly Blush

Done with red mango, we cross into Plaza Indonesia actually there's 2 froyo place as destination, first is maru 2nd is heavenly blush. I know maru by browsing at internet, the japanese frozen yogurt, but then we search the index of mall didn't find maru....simply because maru doesn't exist anymore. It's okay because we find heavenly blush easily at L2 I forget how much we spent for one medium cup of froyo, 30K IDR-something lah. We order froyo twist original and pomegranate with longan and almond, ahhh only two topping. It's okay, because so far it's one of our favorite. The pomegranate and original froyo have a soft texture, not too heavy and have a good combination between sour and sweet, none of them is dominant. it's healthy too...I recomended this one, you have to try them...

#Sour Sally

Back to Grand Indonesia, we hunting for sour sally, and....based on my survey, sour sally is taste good. So, Tubby have a-save-the-best-for-the-last-strategic but that's not working at all. The place is too small so they can't accomodate the buyer. We confuse where to sit because the place too full, there's only four tabble, maybe the set it for take away order. So we decided to postpone buy froyo and have a walk for a while untill the sit is available. While we have a walk we found uniqe sushi stall, ahhh suddenly we eat sushi, while our stomach is already full with froyo, hahahaha....we have short-amnesia to our race, done with sushi we back for sour sally..aha there's promotion with flash card, so I spent around 50K IDR for upgrading size into large. I choose froyo original twist with taro, with longan, mochi and almond for topping, ummmm...as I told before that we have too much for our belly before having the last one, the taste is not objective. Our tongue is freeze already, hahahahaha we taste bitter for this froyo, but believe me it's just because we having froyo too much.  the taste should be refreshing and light one, I guess...ahhh I will come back again to tell you.

#Smooch

This is the reasond why we having froyo race. One day I atrracted with colorfull big stall at central park. It is smooch, the self-service froyo stall, they sell the yogurt not by portion but by weight. So here's my strategy to have a cheap unlimited froyo: choose the dry topping  by then they will be more light, hahahahaa they have pretty much flavour of froyo, smooch is one of my favorite too. the best one is mojito and melon. The texture is soft not easy to melt and more refreshing sour. Yes I will come back for more, I get addicted with mojito, but its pretty expensive if you loose control, be careful with this kind of froyo...hihihihihi the picture above is strawberry and blueberry froyo with mochi, longan and almond I spend abour 40K IDR for that. But I definately comeback for smooch 

#Tutti Frutti

Ahhh...I have this froyou yesterday, this is cost by weight too, so I have my own strategy for this one : choose the dry topping. Tutti frutti at central park L3 not far away from omo! chicken. They have many flavour too, but we choose bubble gum, chocolate and berries. for topping we add marshmallow, almond and colorfull sprinkle, that's all cost 38K IDR pretty good deal. but taste is not best one, so-so and sweet more dominant, I can't taste the sour of yogurt here..

Sooo....which froyo do you want to have? take me if you want to taste one of them yaaa I'll be hapilly help you to eat, hihihi

XOXO,

Sushi Race (Updated)

With no hesistate, we point every picture at one page of sushi menu...

I don't know why but it's between craziness and food pages on our wish list. The wish is sound cool : to order one page menu of sushi. hihihihiii... even sushi attack we had before make our tongue tasteless, we never give up of eating too much. On sunday noon after body combat class I and Tubby are going to watch IMAX at gandaria city, but the traffict is not friendly so we can't make it on time. Well then, there's nothing to do except lunch. We went to Sushi Tei, and when we going to order we remember of our wish list. Yes, we order first half page of sushi.

  

What a random things we just forget how many calories were burnt at last couple our ago. Then we just sit at the table for two with 8 sushi rolls, 48 pieces, 2 round, no guilty. hahahaha...ahh thanks God the portion is not too big for one rolls menu.Plus we have a chit chat for more hours. Sushi Tei gancit always at waiting list also. ahhh just intermezo I did my sushi eating contest here, straight after contest my friend asked me to eat sushi (again) unfortunatelly the waiting list is too long, so I can't have-too-much-eat-sushi-that-day, hihihihiii.... Based on our experience we usualy take the menu book after order for a while, we order again,,,,again...and again, until we filled our tummy fully, then go home safely.

Okay, I will share my experience on sushi on the next story...

On saturday we going to eat suhi at 2 different place, yup simply because we have 2 sushi vouchers at different place.....hehehehe we called it sushi-day.
#Rakuzen

First place is Rakuzen, pacific place. That was lunch time actually and we are too hungry to eat only two rolls of sushi. well...for the first time I doubt that those sushi can make our hungry tummy full. Until then the sushi coming.....That sushi consist of 8 pieces, I forget the name of sushi we order. They are good,  tubby order rolls with eel, and I order rolls with tuna. We are not too disapointed with the small number of sushi (because we usually order until 5 plates of sushi ). I forgot that theres another dishes beside sushi, that was agemono. I didn't know what it was, something like ala carte? so we order salmon cheese hasamiage (the left one at the picture). When that agemono arrive, we surprise with the size, yeah! it's bigger than at picture menu. It's simply fried salmon sandwich with cheese sauce.  The bread is crispy and soft inside, the salmon well cooked to. Tubby like it very much than the sushi. Ah, about the restaurant atmosphere, it's very nice too... classy and we love being there. and ummmm...it's kinda weird beacuse we didn't spent extra money eat there, 2 sushi and one agemono is enough to fulfill our hungriness-haha. 

#Poke Sushi

We must go in hurry... because there's another voucher we should spent at Grand Indonesia. So, from Pasific Place we went to Grand Indonesia. Because our tummy is too full, we decided to watch movie before have another sushi there. Yet because the voucher consist of  3 sushi, 3 ala carte and 3 ocha. Muahahahah 3 portion for 2 people. Poke sushi at food louver, actually this place is not too good to eat sushi plus the lame service. Different things like we eat at the first sushi resto.We order dakine rolls, crunchy salmon rolls, and crunchy dragon rolls. For the ala carte we order asorted tempura, chicken crumble and beef teriyaki. And suddenly our tabble is full...Their beef teriyaki is good but vegie tempura and fried chicken is taste weird. For me they are umatch with sushi rolls that have fresh and light taste. Well then, for sushi taste is not bad not the best, but the service very bad. because we use voucher, poke sushi give us 30% discount for the next purcase include all you can eat sushi, but I doubt the service again when we have all-you-can eat there.

#Sushi Mori

It's rainbow rolls and Fujiyama rolls. The rainbow rolls consist of tuna and salmon, while fujiyama....I can't see anything except cheese and tuna (maybe). Yummm...the taste is good too...my favorite is raibow roll, consist of tuna and salmon sashimi. ah I forget, since we are disdus-couple, we buy it with voucher, usually they give a good deal of price, we can have more  menu or half prize to pay. so we just have to pay ocha for  drinks. the portion of 8 slices is so-so not too big for us, the price is pretty expensive too.

#Kiyadon

ah...I almost forget why we eat at kiyadon, I just remember that time I was not too hungry and just want to have a little snack. and suddenly we sit at sushi restaurant, on my mind was just order some sashimi and ocha. but the sushi boat picture on menu inviting me to know the sensation, hihihihi... in short of time 2 plate full of nigiri is right in front of us. Too bad, I can't see the boat anyway the waitress said taht their lack of boat...okay then, now we have to eat them all while my belly is full. Ahhhh....their nigiri should be good if they cook their sushi rice properly. The rice is uncooked, too bad.

#Midori

Ahhh... Ijust find our favorite place at Bogor! it's Midori, luckily we come when the promo on going : discount 30% for each menu. I forget what kind of rolls we order, but eel is the star of the rolls their spice is sweet and tender...Midori is on professional chef's hand, so no doubt the taste is authentic one. My favorite is their salmon sashimi so fresh and tender, but they are too expensive.  So far our favorite authentic sushi is Umaku, it's near tubby and my home, so we frequently come back and...forget to take the picture, hihiihihi but you can see my danbo photogrph at umaku. Their salmon sahimi is number one! I love it....

#Sushi Time!

We accidentally found sushi time stall at grand indonesia. Their concept is unique eat sushi simply with uncut one, the price is pretty cheap too about 20K IIDR for each. If you eat the sushi with cut one they become so so because the taste is not quite fresh even they store it in refrigrator I can only taste the cool sushi. But So faar it's okay I like it maybe I'll come back for this funky sushi hihihihihii

love,

Sushi Attack

"Mama look, they had it that much," said little girl who sat beside us

I and Tubby--my best sushi mate ever--went to Tokio Kitchen. That place offer some japanesse food with tokyo street concept. But our goal is sushi-sushi-and-sushi... hahahaa so we order all menu of Tokio Kitchen's sushi. It was 6 menu, Tokio Roll, Tiger Roll, Tokio Dragon Roll, Tokio Classic Roll, Aburi Chilli Salmon Roll and Spicy Ponzu Salmon Itokezuri. Yes, we order all of them, six plates of sushi. Since we thought it's nomal portion for us. We usually eat 5--6 plates at another sushi restaurant. So there's nothing problem with that. ummm why don't you visit danbo at umaku, that one of my favorite sushi restaurant.

Okay, what should I say when the 2-first-plates of sushi come at our table. We looked at each other then almost laugh. It's just 2 plates but it's the big slice and consist of 8 slices. I wonder how we eat the rest of 4 plates of sushi. We lookes at the picture before, and never expect the same thing from picture. so we gonna eat 6x8 sushi huh? 48 big pieces!!!

Sooo...the next 4 plates of sushi come. As we expected that is too much. I can't think clearly even remember what kind of sushi we had. Even take the picture every single detail of the menu. The waitress too...she was able to mention only 2 menu, the rest she can't talk but only smile and laugh when I said that I understand why she smile. Yes it is too much, even there's plenty space at our table. For the first minute there's nothing we do just giggle and shake our head.

The next minutes is taking picture, I think every menu picture is no longer interesting. Now we talk about quantitive. Then I remember how much rice needed to make 1 portion of 4 slice sushi at Umaku. Now we gonna eat 12 times more than we see. Okay....At the first time we eat we can decide which one is our favorite, at least it has disticnt flavour from other. It actually...yummy, delicious and dense.

Then, we stop. Look at the plates, just half eaten. Have a chit chat the go on to another slice of sushi. Go on and on.. oh damn... why it seem didn't change at all. Then I remember about sushi eating competition I had some month ago. just...dont puke....don't puke.... Finally, after 3 hours eating sushi we succesfully clean the plate. Both of us eat that 48-slice-of sushi. what a record.

Did you said we done for it? nooo.... we spend that much only 36.538 IDR, because we pay the sushi with disdus voucher cost 150K IDR. We had another voucher for dessert, a 16 oZ of coldstone ice cream. wkwkwkwkwk....

We choose cheesecake ice cream. but there's no excitement when we eat that. We done for it, until we feel sour at our tongue hahahaha...What a day, can you imagine how many rice come to our stomach? Tubby so lucky, he can put it away right after eating sushi. Me? Can't pup until 3 days, what a bad feeling... but as long as our stomach is full we are happy... "kenyaaaannng.....bahagiaaaaa"

Don't Stop (even) You Get Enough

The last 3 pieces of sushi come to my mouth at once. My plate is empty. I raised it, to show my friends. They cheer. I cheer. Forget that sushi still in my mouth, those (sushi) just blew out : disqualification (read: silly).

It was Sushi Eating Contest held by Sushi Tei on October 29, 2011. Yup almost a month ago, and I wish I still remember every single detail well. Since this contest held to break MURI record as the most participant I wonder there is quote for male and female participant. Thanks Tubby for registered me soon before the quote is full.

Soo... The day come. But at the same time I got duty for my work as moderator in some training held at my office. Suprise me, attending eating contest being a strong reason to allow than being moderator, fufufuu... plus my officemate and my senior editor encourage me to win the contest. All my officemate want to cheers me at the contest, unfortunately they replace my duty so the only reporter who free-on-duty is me because attending eating contest

30 Pieces

The strongest reason why I joined the contest is eating much much sushi by only 50.000 IDR. The second is the prize: eating (again) voucher and playbook. I don’t have any preparation, just read some trick winning eating contest on internet. I eat as usual even before attending the contest. I learned on the spot :The rival and the sushi.

It’s makimono, kani roll and tamago 30 pieces. At glance they look a bit light and easy to eat. Plus they accompanied by water and shoyu. The contest started by japanese traditional dance. This energic dance pump my adrenaline too, by seeing my rival. There are about 600 participant male and female. Divided by two group, and two winners : male and female, each has 1st—3rd winner.

The contest started. More than 300 female participants divided by 6-person-table and 2 judges each. Each table has 3 winners to be compare with other tabble. Mine? Hahaa... maybe I look potentially as a winner because i’m the only big woman who has big gastro. The contest begin, I –the amateur participant—eat SIX pieces of sushi at ONCE for the first time. My God, It’s more dense than I ever thought, and takes time to chew it. I have to “drink” shoyu to push it inside. Be honest I terribly want to puke, hahaha.. Bintang said she was affraid that i got mouth dislocation after eat tremendous portion at once.

Done with my first-6-pieces, I continued it with only 2 pieces, while chewing I looked participant in front of me, theirs is much more than me : save. To the right, hers too : save. Then to the left, almost same with me: dangerous, she pour shoyu on the sushi. At that time, I don’t want to take a risk by consume liquid, the artice on web I read before said that drinking water makes your stomach easily full.

Water

But why can I try? It’s more than half left. But the drum is beat the 1st winner goes out, it’s crazy... how come?? Okay, there’s still a chance for the 2nd and 3rd. Accidentally water being my hero. Eating 2 pieces sushi and a litlle bit water is much much quicker. After 2 times mistake, I got the trick (finally) ...while 6 pieces sushi left, another drum is beat : 2nd winner. Noooo.. while chewing 3 pieces sushi I look at the left, she’s having her last sushi.

In spite of time I'm having my last 3 pieces of sushi. Too late, the one who stand at the left had opened her mouth and the judge raise the flag. Knowing I was chewing my last sushi the judge also cheers me up, just like my friends. I raised my plate.... and you know what happen next. Heheee... not only judge even participant giving their plastic bag. Actually I won’t give up, I still close my mouth with my hand, avoiding the sushi blew up. I don’t know how do I looked that time it soo messed up..

I give up already, hueeekk disqualification. Then I realized I’m not the one who enjoying 30 pieces makimono of sushi tei by only 50k IDR.

It’s better anyway that I still love sushi and said YES when my friend asked to having lunch at Sushi tei (again) right after I finished the contest. Hahahaa..

Thank you @titoaribowo for registered me, @aldanish_4 has documented every part of contest, @bintang_el and @inaSeptiani for the cheers and help me put the attribute. Thank you for @yulinovisca @VeSusirani @Marich_hilton and @Desi_sayyidati keep asked the progress on BBM and @Triisty who also texting me. Thank you for supporting me, I’m sorry I can’t win the voucher

The next day at office, I have to tell this story again and again, but telling those on my blog has just accommplised now.. finally...

*It’s the longest postponed post I ever write. It's already in my draft at the end of October. I just finished about 2 paraghraph then go back on duty, re-write again, then go out back to my world : real article for December. For a long...long weeks finally I re-write again. This time I promise to finish the post no matter what,

Date with dates

My executive editor asked me to attend dates seminar last week...

I completely agree to attend when she said we gonna taste various dates : yeaayyy eat for free That was on my mind, I Just expected we gonna have various kind of dates, eventhought August edition--issued on fasting month is done, we already write article about dates for fasting trend, maybe we can get more information about dates. Well, what I should I tell first. When we arrived at Tirtayu Healing Center, Senopati, registered as media. Then we asked for waiting or have a glance for healing center building. We decided to wait at second floor, haaaa...when we pass open kitchen (or lounge? hihihiii) I see boxes of dates, and some processed dates cookies, yummmm. On the second floor, there's another boxes of dates and dates on the plate, feel free to eat, but since there's nobody, and we already know about madjool dates, that was yummy dates, I like it, but we are not too excited to taste, we looking for something new. After 15 minutes waiting another media and people coming, we entering the room. Kafi Kurnia start the seminar by opening the premium box of dates. He said this is the most delicious dates in the world, we have to taste it, he promised change truck of finest dates if it's not delicious (agak lebay si ). His strategy is succesfully make us currious. I already taste that kind of dates, but..when he handed premium box of dates, I can't stand to taste. Yes it looks different. More juicy and soft, and preserve sweet well. This is more important : I get full easily. I love it, fyi I used didn't like dates, for me it was too sweet to eat.

Maybe in this case I eat right dates at the right time. Why? Because another speaker tell about the main thought about fasting. That half and hour speech has summary :

1. When we get up and sahur our digestive can't work hard on too much meal to digest. It must be right portion, right time, ad right kind of food. He suggest to eat 3 dates and a glass of water near imsak time. For me, it make sense (I even seldom have sahur for fasting, and it didn't bother my activity at all). You don't have to worry that dates can't fulfill your energy for daily activy. Browse about nutrition fact of dates and you'll see how it works.

2. When we break fasting we also need 3 dates and a glass of water. That's enough until we have meal after tarawih. That make sense for our health too. Like no. 1 explanation, our digestive should work properly. Then I though, I was eat 2 dates before seminar held (at 10 am) and I didn't have breakfast at home, until 12 am I didn't feel hungry at all. Usually I need brunch after breakfast, eheheheheh. See, how dates instantly fulfill my energy because its glucose can be reserved well, so I can feel full imediatelly. Dates has 282 ccal/100 grams of dates and 63.35 g glucose/100 grams, more half of dates are glucose.

Seminar done with eating processed dates cookies at first floor. Woooo... need to hurry, but I have to interview some speaker. It's okay I thought. Those cookies are waiting for me, iyaaayyyy... at least 10 kind of food on the table, they all free and I can eat moree and moreee, sluurrpp... because I overexcited, I don't know what to eat first, ahahahah. I eat dates salad first : vegetables, fruit and dates with youghurt, taste so fresh and healthy. Done with salad, I eat dates covered with chocolate, then go on with dates pie. rrrrrr... just 3 kind of food my stomach is full. I'm done.

a-a, why everyone brought small-yellow-box?, what is that? where it comes from?...ahhh, it's from bakpia pia djogdja booth, I came to see and they give me that "box" I wonder what inside? taraaaa.... dates bakpia 4 item and exclusively made, I asked for futher where they sell it? they just sell it at Yogyakarta, so I don't need to go far away to Yogya...kkkk..kkkk the right one on picture is my favorite. Can you see how they slash the dates and filled dates with cheese then wrap with pia dough = heaven....

Maamoul! yup Maamoul is cookie filled with dates paste with light taste, makes you want to eat more and more. I bet one is never enough. That was another one of my favorite cookies made from dates.

I found it when I was on duty at tanah abang, they not only sell fresh dates but also processed dated. 1 box contents of 16 pack of cookies cost 25.000 IDR cheap enough than fresh dates. They packed each pieces of cookies with somelike plastic, so you can bring it whenever on your way and simple, eheheee... I want to buy it again but I imagine tanah abang at this time soo crowded, I give up, eheheheh...

You can enjoy another fancy and delicious cookies made from dates at Bateel, Senayan City. This dates boutique sell 13 kinds of cookies made from dates and dozen of premium quality of fresh dates. You can find dates filled with almond, orange peel, candied ginger and so on.. The price is 3 times higher than at Tanah abang, where you can find date cost 250.000 IDR per kg at tanah abang, at Bateel it cost 750.000 IDR, fufufufufu remember there always price to pay huh....The taste? Are premium too.. I like dates with almond, the taste blend so well. How lucky I am as a journalist having interview with the bateel owner--Tania Walla, she is so cooperative and generous too, because she gave me a box of all premium dates for free

That's all that I know about dates, Allah always prefect in create all part of this tiny world, Subhanallah and Alhamdulillaaahhh... happy fasting everyone may health and happiness bless you always
