It is not just chicken, It’s BonChon Chicken

Entering Grand Indonesia with hungry stomach, I instantly visited the first restaurant that caught my eye, BonChon Chicken. One of the waiter were offering free sample of their chicken just outside their outlet. BonChon is a South Korean fried chicken brand that has opened several branch in Dubai, Singapore, US, Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia. Currently, they have two outlets here in Jakarta, in Grand Indonesia and Living World – Alam Sutera. The look of their outlet has an urban feel and dominated with wood panel and sketch of the city on the wall. The restaurant is designed by adopting fast food restaurant mechanism, although we still have to wait for several minutes for the meal to be ready. The menus offered were ranging from BonChon chicken, BonChon fish, Bulgogi, and Mochi.

BonChon use frying technique that claims to be different from other chicken restaurant, so it would create a juicy and tender chicken meat with crispy, crunchy skin and almost transparent crust. The chicken will be coated with your chosen of sauce: original (salty sweet soy garlic sauce) or spicy. That afternoon, I chose their chicken meal menu which consist the choice of chicken accompanied with rice and drink. We can choose from chicken wings, thigh, drumstick, and strips…and I chose drumstick (in this meal, I got 2 drumsticks, yeaaayy) coated in spicy sauce (29,5k).

For me, the spicy sauce were mild, you won’t be sweating by eating the chicken The skin was crunchy, although not as crunchy as other chicken fast food joint out there because BonChon use special sauce to coat the chicken so the chicken will be a bit damp. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the meat was tender and juicy. Although unfortunately, once I ate the chicken meat I can’t taste that special sauce which I’ve tasted when I ate the skin. It seems the sauce has not penetrated to the meat thoroughly. So the meat tasted a bit bland.

I spotted some of the customer were ordering Mochi Ice Cream, some short of mochis with vanilla ice cream filling (10k). It looks nice, maybe next time I’ll try to order some of that.

Tisya – Cowgirl

inspired by all the Cowboy and Cowgirl out there, yihaaaaa….

Raja Konro Daeng Naba

Yang ngaku penggemar iga bakar, wajib mengunjungi restoran yang satu ini. Restoran ini sebenarnya bukan restoran baru, di Jakarta dia sudah memiliki 3 cabang diantaranya ada di Jl.Ampera, Jl.Pesanggrahan, dan yang terbaru di Jl.Cikajang. Lokasinya di Jl.Cikajang bener2 merupakan pilihan lokasi yang tepat, di tengah kota yang selalu dipadati oleh kendaraan. Hal itulah yang membuat saya dan suami melipir ke restoran itu sepulang dari kantor, kebetulan Jl.Cikajang memang rute pulang kantor gw dan hubby.

DKM Make Up Class with ZA

Ih gile hebat ye BeIh bisa bikin acara make up class alias acara ngelenong rame2, hihihi. Semua terlaksana berkat bantuan jeng Yanfit dan Ina yang udah sukarela jadi tim sukses dan tim sibuk, makasih ya jeung. Awalnya sih ini acaranya hanya untuk sebagian biro aja, tapi melihat animo para perempuan2 centil yang heboh akhirnya peserta melebar sampe ke hampir dua biro, mantaaaabbbhhhh !!!

Acara make up class ini disponsorin oleh Za (eh ini merek anak muda, tapi kita kan udah bukan …… *tiitt* *sensor*) X____X Accckkhh….yang penting ilmunya aja diambil, produknya bisa apa aja dong ya ;p Kita sengaja memanfaatkan waktu istirahat hari Jumat yang cukup panjang untuk acara ini, walopun kayaknya 1,5 jam pasti berasa kurang banget ya…..berasa ekspres banget pastinya. Tapi cukuplah kalau mau dapetin ilmu yang dasar2 aja. Biaya make up class ini cukup merogoh kocek 60ribu saja, sudah termasuk voucher 50rb untuk pembelian produk Za dan diskon 20% untuk semua produk Za. Semua produk skincare, makeup,dan peralatan seperti cermin, headband, kapas, dll disediakan oleh Za, tapi kalau kita mau bawa produk punya sendiri juga ga dilarang.

Paspor Rasya in the Making

Dua minggu lalu, sekitar pertengahan Januari 2012,  workload di kantor lagi rada longgar, jadi gw berencana ijin datang rada siang untuk ngurus pembuatan paspor baru Rasya. Terakhir kalinya mampir ke kantor Imigrasi Jaksel itu pas perpanjangan paspor gw dan saat itu lokasinya masih numpang di Jl. TB Simatupang. Nah sekarang gedung kantornya udah balik lagi ke Jl. WR Buncit dan lebih kinclong plus ber-AC pula *poin penting nih*. Awalnya gw mau pake sistem online lagi kayak dulu, tapi ternyata penentuan jadwal kedatangan ke imigrasinya paling cepet itu baru 31 Jan 2012. Wecks…lama beneeeerrrr !!!! Ya sutralah ga jadi via online. Lagipula setelah dipikir2, kasian juga Rasya kalau disuruh ngantri foto sampe siang (karena pasti dia kan udah gw bawa dari pagi), bisa rewel ntar. Jadi mendingan penyerahan berkas secara langsung aja, asal dateng pagi biar dapet nomor antrian kecil. Toh gw emang selalu dateng pagi sih klo ke imigrasi, pengalaman aja dari dulu, lebih enakan pagi2.

Pastikan kelengkapan berkas sebelum berangkat ke kantor imigrasi ya. Untuk pembuatan paspor baru anak di bawah umur 17 tahun, berikut daftar dokumen2 yang harus dilengkapi (asli + fotocopy) :

1. KTP Orang tua
2. Kartu Keluarga
3. Akte Lahir anak yang akan dibuatkan paspor
4. Paspor kedua orang tua
5. Surat Nikah kedua orang tua
6. Pernyataan orang tua dengan dibubuhi materai Rp 6000 (Surat ini sudah disediakan, tidak perlu membuat sendiri)
7. Form permohonan paspor

22 Jan 2012

Masih dalam suasana long weekend, yipppiieee…..Hari kedua long wiken ini rencananya kita mau leyeh-leyeh di rumah aja sambil beberes rumah. Bosen juga kalau ke mall mulu tiap hari…mau jalan2 ke outdoor playground takut hujan. Ya sudlah…at home indeed.

Di rumah kebetulan ada beberapa pernak-pernik rumah yang udah lama banget dibelinya tapi masih teronggok rapi di pojokan, belum diapa2in. Jadilah si papap diberdayakan untuk ngebor dinding supaya lukisan2 buah/sayuran cantik itu bisa terpasang rapi dinding ruang makan. Enak juga kalau punya suami handy man begini, hehehehe, irit ongkos ga perlu panggil tukang. Tadinya mau sekalian ngerapiin taman belakang yang baru setengah jadi, tapi belum dapat wangsit, bingung mau diapain lagi tuh taman, walhasil batal.

Ga lama baru inget, Rasya tuh sampe saat ini belom sempet nyobain kolam renang plastiknya dia. Mumpung kondisi fisik Tisya dan Rasya lagi sehat dua-duanya, akhirnya emak bapaknya sibuk mompain dua kolam untuk persiapan mereka berenang sore nanti. Untung lagi yeee punya pompa elektrik, ga kebayang deh klo harus mompa itu kolam secara manual, bisa jontor bin ledeh kite punya mulut, hahahaha.

7Ders reunited

Yeeaaayyy, Debby is back in town again…for another vacay. As usual, kalo formasi lengkap gini (yang biasanya jarang bangeet), kita langsung mengosongkan agenda untuk atur jadwal ketemuan. Cap cip cup kembang kuncup, Sabtu 21 Januari 2012 kemaren kita berhasil ketemuan semua lengkap. Janjiannya di Food Court Sency yang berlanjut ke Dante’s Coffee.

Tujuh tahun berlalu, and our appearance haven’t change a bit…well maybe except for Ruby, who gained an extra pound or two. But that extra is actually good for her, soalnya waktu kuliah Ruby begeeeennkkk bangeeet , mana tingginya menjulang…persis kayak tiang listrik, hahahaha, piiisssss ya By Kali ini ada anggota 7Ders yang lagi hamdun anak kedua, bumil Debby en Ungy. Lucu deh ngeliat ibu2 hamil, jadi pengen hamil lagi….#eh #uups #nahloh. Lucunya lagi, anak pertama kita semuanya cewe, hahahaha, bener-bener regenerasi 7Ders bangeeettt. Tapi sekarang udah ada cowonya satu, si Mbem2 Rasya

All and all, we have a blast…chit chat, catching up stories, walopun ya…tetep sedikit riweh dengan anak masing-masing, ya pun gimana ya… status kan udah berubah jadi emak2 beranak, hahahaha. See u soon ladies….

Over Rice

As stated on their website, Over Rice is a lifestyle restaurant concept serving delicious delicacies from South East Asia influenced by Chinese heritage. I’ve been to two of their outlet, the ones in Citos and Pacific Place. The one in Citos is actually their first outlet in Jakarta. Their Chinese cuisines are inspired from Cantonese and Cze Chuan, while their Thai cuisines are inspired from the southern part of Thailand.

At Over Rice, we have the choice of having an Over Rice, Over Noodle, or Ala Carte serving when we order our food. My hubby and I decided to take individual order since we were craving for different menus at that time.

For appetizer, we ordered Tahu Goreng Ala Thai / Deep Fried Tofu Thai Style (15,8k). To be honest, from all of the food we ordered, this cuisine is the one we liked the most. Smooth fried tofu coated with crispy batter served with XO sauce, thumbs up.

The Plus-ses of Having a Daughter

By posting this, I didn’t mean that I like my daughter more than I like my son. Son or daughter…both are a gift from God and should be treated as such. Besides lots and lots of shopping options, ranging from pretty dresses, cute legging/jegging, adorable shoes, make up, accessories, etc, the thing I love of having a daughter (besides shopping together ofkors) is that you can go to the beauty salon and do your treatment there together. Since my 3 years old daughter now has become more aware of her surroundings, and pretty much know the routine of wearing makeup (too much seeing her mom dress up), I’ve decided to take her along to the beauty salon on Christmas day. Usually hubby was the one who always accompanied me each time I went to the beauty salon to do my treatment.

As usual, I chose my routine treatment which are hair spa creambath, manicure, pedicure, and eyebrow shaping. As for Tisya, I chose her to do strawberry creambath. At first, Tisya looks a bit reluctant but didn’t refuse when the hair stylist (kapster) started to massage her head with creambath cream. She quite enjoy it actually Yeaayyyy……this is what I called girl to girl bonding….hihihi….Btw, she decided to do her nails as well….
