Uncle G Corner & Seecul

I’m home again.

After more than 6 months, I met Isti. We shared each other stories during the time we don’t meet. That was really nice. We are choosing the most popular place in our home town, Sukabumi. They opened the new place which is larger than the main location.

There were 2 brands that I posted in this post. They are typical food court but I think they are a lot better because they match each other. But I saw there were more than 2 brands in this location. Maybe there are 4. But I’m not very sure.

Isti and I ordered our foods from Uncle G Corner. For the beverages we ordered from Seecul. That’s fair enough right?

Dilmah Real High Tea Challenge Cafes & Restaurants 2015

I never felt so excited like this before in my whole life. I’m going to review these two places which participate in Dilmah Real High Tea Challenge Cafes & Restaurants 2015. Before the challenge happened, Dilmah gathered some Bandung food bloggers and competitors at Luxton Hotel on August 13^th. Some of the bloggers are very popular and made me so nervous at the moment. But I’m grateful for being there.

Basically, Dilmah challenges these Cafés and Restaurants. They should be making some dish which makes of or contains their product, in this case is tea. In judging process, competitors have to brew the hot teas in front of judges. They will make two different drinks and must be paired with either a sweet or savory dish. It could be hot, warm or cold.

And for tea inspired cuisine, competitors have to make 1 sweet or savory dish which made from tea as an ingredient. It makes me feel so glad because I learn about it before at the food ingredients class in the college. I can add more knowledge in real life, not just theory.

I got the opportunity to visit Porto Restaurant and Chubby Bunny. There were 8 restaurants and cafes which take part in this challenge. I can’t visit all the places because it’s hard for me to match my school schedule. I visited both of them on September 12^th.

Sop Durian Mozzarela

Some people love it and the others hate it very much. Durian or duren. Whatever you called it but I know this one is tropical fruit. It smells really strong that’s probably why some people love it and either hated it. I’m in between actually. I don’t love it very much but I also don’t hate it. I can eat everything I guess.

            Last weekend, I went home for visiting my family in town. My hometown located in Sukabumi. Five hours away by bus from Bandung. Every time I pass a road near the city center, I always see this new café. It looked so interesting for me because they show so much durian in front of their place.

            Sop Durian Mozzarela café is only there in Sukabumi. They started in 2014 and now they have 2 café in town.

            I decided to visit this little café with my friend, Owl (not real name). Well we went there and order three menus that can represent all the menus in this café. They offered everything that contained durian.

How to Make Empowering Girls Cookie

“You are beautiful. Remember that!” –Bethany Mota.

I have a thing with that sentence. I’m feeling like it empowering me so much when I feel down. I’m not always happy all the time. I cry sometime in the dark and think what I did wrong these days. But I know now, that is just a negativity. I don’t have to worry about everything because I have my parents who always support me and give me power.
