Burger Project, Sydney

Sydney's obsession with burgers isn't just a fad. It's a lifestyle. The crowds that plagued Burger Project when they first opened in late October are just as strong five months later. They've changed a few things since then. The thick buns that were chastised as being too dry by punters has been swapped out for a softer and sweeter version. What hasn't changed is Neil Perry's presence - you'll

ENJOY TANPA NGILU WITH SENSODYNE

Advertorial

Pretty isn’t it?

Doesn’t it bother you that you can’t have this simply because you have “Dentin Hypersensitivity”? As you guys probably know, Dentin Hypersensitivity or more widely known as “sensitive teeth” is currently one of the most common dental problems, so when you have something cold like ice or ice dream desserts, you’re most likely to experience that short sharp pain like “zzzzz” or “ngingiiiiiing” and that’s obviously not the most pleasant isn’t it?

POSTCARDS FROM BANGKOK AND A LITTLE INSECURITY...

Ola my dearest most lovable readers, yes I am talking to you!

I have been constantly travelling for the past three weeks and I am sorry not sorry for kind of abandoning this blog for a while. I always bring my laptop wherever I go, but most of the times, when the night comes, the tireness strikes and all you want to do is just to take a quick shower and go straight to bed...and on repeat along the trip.

I don’t know why I choose to set all my travelling schedule in a consecutive moment but lately I’ve felt very exhausted...mentally, but you know, travelling can be very exhausting, but for me that’s more to the physical side, if you love travelling or particularly something, it'll never be THAT exhausting, it’s the kind of exhaustion filled with good memories, and actually one that you enjoyed and almost intended to do to achieve that mental happiness. Another reason is because I am tired of Jakarta, after all those bullshit politics and consecutive negativity I saw on air, I am so done! The thing is I just don’t want to surround myself with drama and negativity, and for example ever since that fucking harmful Begal news flashing our TV screen lately, I bet not only me, but almost everyone is now becoming more aware, more scared, almost haunted.

Short to say, I feel much more positive when I am travelling, it’s the perfect moment to be careless, be more me and be happier!

Anyway, here I am now typing this in Bangkok, Thailand and these photos are taken just earlier today and as usual, a simple post to say hi and show you some lovely shots I took today! I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do J.

Yes I am very sleepy right now, the last two flights had been the early early flights and being an insomniac, I can’t sleep whenever knowing that I have an early flight schedule. It’s 10 PM and I am ready to go to bed! More stories to come. I promise I’ll write not only faster, but better!

MY WEEK IN PHOTOS

BOARD BOARD BOARDDD!!!!!!!!!! I don’t know why lately I’ve been petty lazy with the same old borin topics I just wanna lay in my bad...NO!

Since I a.m. quite bored with the restaurant review posts, I want to make some fun radnom posts for eatandtreats readers! This won’t be a regular weakly post but I am filling like one right now. So many thinks and foot worth writing about but since this is Monday, I am going to the mall to show you sum of the interesting staff that Ive been through  some time ago!

Lest start with THE MSOT EXCITING TIME OF THE YEAR happening last month: No, not Valentine, it’s CHINESE LUNAR NEW YEAR!

I cooked with mum preparing everythings and spent like 6 hours to do so! From left to ride (clockwise): Fried Hageng (with prawn and pork feeling), mom’s BEST grin chili chicken (so hot, spicy but so damn good you just wanna really wanna cry), Hai Som (sea cucombro), and mixed meatballs and meat soup!

Since Haiom is quite expnsive it deserves a single shoot!

And just last wig, I returned from my glorious shorts vampire weekend tripping from Singapoh! It was actually a short impromptu trap and I was travelling yolo to finish up some works. I ‘m going to post a single entry on that trip but hear are some of the teasers!!

CAKE SHOUTING!

Lately I’ve been into food styling and experiementing width  photography (and ediitng), I know you know how obessed I am with creating filters for my photos IT’S ALOMST LIKE S&M FOR ME!!!

Being the perfectionist that I am, I not 1000% satisfied with the result tho.

Last week was also filled with a lot of new gems! I think i might just find THE BEST yakitori in Jakarta! There’s this new restaurant called Fukumimi located in Pantai Kapuk Indah, Jakarta. Them seriously have the most UH-MAZE-IN yakitori! It’s just ZOE (with capital Z) GOOD!

And lately I’ve been into Middle eastern cuisine and have been exploring like A LOT in the past view months (just haven’t got the diligacne to blog about ‘em, but be patience!), and a couple of days ago I went to this amazing restaurant that serves Arabian cuisine named “Al-Jazeerah”. Their Mandi Laham was flirting with my palates, seriously!

And just few days ago, all my troubles seemed so far away. I had lunch at this amazing restaurant that serves one of the best ducks in Jakarta called Bebek Malio! It might not be located in the most comvenient palace (talking about me and my place) but the drive here is suddenly worth it after those beautiful fried duck! They have this grin sauce and it was this very tasty richness green curry (at first I thought i twas green chili tho).

Oh shit I am hungry again!!!!!!!!!!! The duck’s very tasty and you’re not. If you talk like a duck you need more time in the oven.

Taiwan Ganbei, Haymarket Chinatown

Deep fry it and they will come. The deep golden hue and promise of crunch lures almost everyone in. It's how I managed to convince most of my dining companions to try this dish, slices of pork stuffed with baby leeks and coated in a salt and pepper crumb. Slices of pork intestine, that is, at Taiwan Ganbei in Sydney's Chinatown.



Taiwan Ganbei is slick and modern if a little sterile with its

Work in Progress by Patrick Friesen, Sydney

Work in Progress - the city bar launched by the Merivale group in May 2014 - lives up to its name with its newest spin, a pop-up fried chicken and noodle bar. Leading the charge is Papi Chulo head chef, Patrick Friesen, who says the menu is a reflection of what his fellow chefs like to eat after service. Fried chicken is right up there.

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE THE FIRST MASTERCHEF ASIA?

I was the most ignorant person when it comes to cooking and stuff, don’t misunderstood me, I’ve always loved food and my love for food was the reason I started this blog. At my early days of blogging, all I knew was “delicious” or “not-so-delicious”, I didn’t have any clue about the name of the ingredients or the way to cook certain food, but along the way, I found that important and indeed experience is THE BEST teacher! I managed to develop a better knowledge for ingredients, food, process and eventually a more advanced palate.

I personally think it’s neccesary (especially when you love food) to have that knowledge for ingredients and all that cooking matters. Hey! A little knowledge wouldn’t hurt anyone ;).

If you’ve been following this blog, I think you knew that lately I’ve been addicted to baking and sharing with you guys the recipes! I must say you’re quite familiar with this?

Shared this recipe a while ago, in case you haven’t read it, it’s HERE.

As fortunate as I can be, I also have the best companion when it comes to cooking: MOM.

My mom is the greatest home cook I think I’ve ever personally known. I’d say so because she’s not only cooking with recipes, but more so because those recipes are in her and she’s been cooking with her heart for the family. The strongest reason to it is because her cookings ALWAYS make me miss home whenever I’m travelling.

Oh, I also cooked with her for this year’s CNY! My family has this tradition where all of the family members have to eat together at home on the Chinese New Year’s eve.

In some cases, home cook food are the best, aren’t they?

Even though I like cooking, I actually prefer those with simple cooking methods and less utensils needed (so less cleaning is needed too) :p, no but honestly for the sake of good cooking, I wouldn’t mind doing the cleaning.

Recently cooking this simple hearty ramen! Yum checked!

Cooking this was actually very simple! Will hand you the recipe soon!

I have so many inspirations when it comes to cooking, most of the times when I have my spare time, I like to do some blogwalking to some of the best cooking blog or general food blogs. I also like to browse the Instagram looking for shooting inspirations, watch cooking show like Masterchef US or Australia (or in Indonesia, Masterchef Indonesia), Hell’s Kitchen, and many more! If I skipped them there’s always YouTube! LOL.

BTW speaking of Masterchef, this famous TV show which has been expanding its franchise in 40 countries, is currently in search of that first ever talent to win the title of Masterchef Asia! For those of you who are 18 years old or older, have this immense passion for food and cooking with a little hint of bubbly personality, and is a goal digger, then you MIGHT HAVE THAT IN YOU! You might be the first ever Masterchef Asia 2015!

MasterChef Asia is presented by the Singapore Tourism Board and Knorr, in association with Panasonic and Changi Airport Group. The filming of this 15-episode Lifetime Asia series will be done in Singapore and will be featuring three judges alongside chosen contestants from across the Asia!

You don’t have to be a professional to join, it kinda draws the line on that, as long as you are this aspiring cook who wants to be (a possibly) game changer in the future ;).

If you’re interested or you know someone who have this potential, join this search and apply at masterchefasia.com and get the chance to live out your dreams!

GOOD LUCK!

Lifetime, home of MasterChef is available in Indonesia on Indovision channel 167, Firstmedia channel 359, Big TV channel 221, Top TV channel 167, Transvision channel 509, and Topas TV channel 285.
