miya8i house

Saat lagi nyoba cari informasi di internet tentang restoran sushi Miya8i House ini, gue nyadar kalau restoran ini engga punya web, atau bahkan facebook page, resmi! Padahal nama restoran yang terletak di area strategis Kemang Food Court ini udah cukup terkenal. Terus mengingat bahwa restoran ini, bersama restoran saudaranya Sushi Miya8i, dimiliki oleh artis-artis terkenal, rasanya sayang banget belum ada website resmi untuk restoran ini. Satu-satunya halaman resmi restoran ini adalah akun twitternya, miya8i_house.

Anyway, gue udah dua kali makan di Miya8i House ini. Karena terletak di area Kemang Food Court, desain restoran ini semi-open air. Konsepnya sendiri menurut gue adalah modern-minimalis dengan nuansa Jepang yang terlihat dari furnitur kayu yang ada. Makanan yang disajikan di sini enak-enak. Walau sedikit mahal, tapi rata-rata harga makanan di sini masih sepadan dengan harganya.

Beberapa hari yang lalu gue makan malem di sana lagi. Kali ini gue memesan empat menu, Ozawa Salmon (sushi roll dengan topping salmon dan mayones), Miyabi Tower (sushi isi kepiting dengan saus mayones pedas yang melimpah), Tempura Udon dan salad dengan cumi tepung (lupa namanya apa). Yang paling gue suka adalah Ozawa Salmonnya karena rasanya enak banget, walau irisan salmonnya kurang tebel. Gue engga begitu suka sama miyabi Towernya karena gue ga bisa ngerasain apa-apa selain mayones yang pedas. Tempura Udonnya menurut gue juga enak banget, kuahnya segar dan kekenyalan udonnya juga pas banget.

groovy friday

Frankly speaking, it was not a groovy Friday night. It was a tiresome Friday night with almost unbearable traffic jam. But, you know, good food should always make your day better. And so, my friend and I went to Sushi Groove (which is the nearest sushi restaurant from my office) to grab some sushi and make our day brighter a bit. We ordered Golden Gate Roll (fresh salmon and avocado roll topped with fresh tuna), Tamago Kami and Salmon Maki.

another mom-made cooking

Just a quick post regarding my breakfast today: another mom-made fried rice. Yummy!

satisfaction guaranteed

Do you know that feeling when you crave for something and you can successfully fulfil the crave? Well, I know and it is such a relieving satisfaction. Priceless.

I have been craving for fish and chips (and fries) lately. I wanted to eat in Fish & Co, but it would be so tiring to go there after work (the nearest Fish & Co is located pretty far from my office and even my house), thanks to Jakarta almost-unbearable trafffic these days. And I have this kind of urge to fulfill my crave with only the best I could possibly get because otherwise if the food (or thing I'm craving for) is below my expectation, even at the slightest, I would probably going to hate that food for the rest of my life and never want to eat it ever again.

So, to play it safe, I decided to have Secret Recipe's fish and chips as my dinner last night. And it was good. It is not the best fish and chips, but it tasted the way I expected it to be. The fish was good, it is not too cripsy on the outside, and it is so moist and a bit juicy on the inside, whereas the chips are too thick for me. But it tasted good though. My boyfriend ordered chicken black pepper as I recommended, and the blackpepper sauce tasted super tasty. The chicken is served with rice that is fried with the blackpepper sauce. It was good for our tummy.

By the way, I lost my camera charger, and that is why I have to use my poor-quality cellphone camera. I hope the filter does not make the pictures quality becomes even worse.

the secret ingredient

Couple of days ago, I was sick and must rest at home (meaning I did not have to go to work, yay!). I was infected with this bacteria which my doctor said may be originated from the food I ate. This totally makes sense as currently I often eat outside. I somehow find this is sad though because I have been losing my appetite for the last six weeks or more. Anyway, my mom decides to cook everyday for the sake of my recovery process. She made this nasi goreng (fried rice) for my breakfast when I stayed home last week. This might look so simple, but it tasted good because it is a mom-made cook!
