Cerita Kuliner Colette & Lola @ Mal Kelapa Gading - nuraisya blog

Thanks to my dear friend, finally I was able to visit Colette & Lola. This lovely cake shop located at Ground Floor of Mal Kelapa Gading 5. Easy to spot with all the bright lights and colorful wooden horses from the live sized carrousel that also function as the cake shop's counter. Pastel colours are scattered all around the shop adding another "girly" touch to the shop, no wonder plenty girls come here to chit chat while enjoying cute and tasty cakes. Which is also the first purpose for our visit that day, but due to the lunch hour then the cute cakes can wait, that's our first thought while scrolling through the menu. And finally all of us choose the heavy courses from Colette & Lola. You can choose food and drinks from the menu, but for the cakes you can pick your choice directly at the cake counter. A reminder, all the cakes are so tempting but you can ask the waiter for the cake's detail first before choosing which is the most suited your taste.

Colorful wooden horses always become a target for selfie lover
Welcome to the dreamland Colette & Lola!
A place to hangout with friends, colleagues and family
Colette & Lola indeed famous for it's cakes and sweets, a little known that it also provide heavy course from rice with Asian taste. And these are what I will share with you all this time.

Finally our lunch is ready, feasting time!
This is my picks, Hainanese Chicken Rice and Mango Mama
FOOD

Hainanese Chicken Rice
IDR 58.000
Hainanese crispy chicken rice with green vegetables and homemade sweet spicy sauce. A bit different from the Hainanese rice I used to eat, a bit like Nasi Lemak. But I totally love the sauce, too bad it provided in a small amount.

Nasi Bakar
IDR 58.000
Indonesian style burnt-rice with spicy grilled chicken and chilli boiled egg. In the menu it marked with a couple of fire signs next to it, indicating spicy category. But in reality it's not as spicy as we imagine while ordering, but still taste great.

Pineapple Fried Rice
IDR 62.000
Pineapple seafood fried rice served with Thai-style omellete. Pretty similar combination with other rice menu, cucumber slices, baby tomato, broccoli, thick nacho chip, crisps and the rice with egg.

Calamari
IDR 48.000
Common calamari, fried squid with mayo and sauce. A perfect snack for small talk with your friends.

DRINKS

Iced Long Black
IDR 25.000
Black coffee with ice, for coffee lover or just to balance all the sweetness from the sweets or cakes if you're eating a lot of them here.

Little Lady Lychee
IDR 39.000
Quite opposite with the title, the glass of this freshening lychee tea is enormous. Suitable for accompanying your long talk or accomodating two persons.

Mango Mama Drink
IDR 49.000
Just like the name this delicate drink just like your mama's touch, mild, full of love, sweetness and freshness from the mango flavor. I order with less sugar though, preparing for dessert.

DESSERTS

Jamaican Chocolate Rum
IDR 30.000
Finally dessert, this is the part which bring famous to Colette & Lola. Too bad our stomach already full from the big feast before. So we only tried one of the heavenly big macs collection, Jamaican Chocolate Rum. A big macaron with cream filling and a plastic container to inject the rum, love it since it has the perfect amount of sweetness and the rum lift up the taste of the macaron.

*All the prices above are subject to 7.5% and government tax 10%

And that's how our journey at Colette & Lola ended that day. Still plenty of cakes and menus to try, perhaps some other time. Last but not least thank you to my dear friend Olivia who invited and treat us well for the entire experience at Mal Kelapa Gading. See you all later ^.^

Cerita Kuliner Cook: Tim Telur, Makanan Sehat untuk Si Kecil - nuraisya blog

Hai hai, jumpa lagi di bagian memasak. Seperti biasa mau berbagi resep yang mudah dan praktis secara yang nulis juga kurang bisa masak hehehe. Resep kali ini "Tim  Telur" termasuk resep yang sehat dan lembut jadi aman untuk dikonsumsi oleh si kecil (untuk bumbu penyedap bisa digantikan dengan gula).

Dari tampilan sekilas bisa dilihat kalau tim telur ini lembut dan yummy banget
Bahan-bahan yang harus disediakan
Bahan-bahan:

  • 4 butir telur ayam 
  • 1 ons daging ayam cincang 
  • 1 siung bawang putih, cincang halus 
  • 1/2 batang wortel import, iris dadu halus 
  • 1/4 gelas air putih 
  • garam sesuai selera 
  • bumbu penyedap jamur sesuai selera (boleh diganti atau tidak dipakai)

Cara Membuat:

  • Kocok semua telur di dalam mangkuk hingga rata
  • Campurkan daging ayam dan bawang putih yang sudah dicincang, potongan wortel ke dalam kocokan telur, aduk hingga rata.
  • Tambahkan bumbu dan garam sesuai selera.
  • Tuangkan air ke dalam adonan, aduk hingga rata.
  • Kukus adonan tersebut hingga matang, +/- 25 menit
  • Angkat dari panci kukus, Tim Telur pun siap dihidangkan...

Tim Telur siap dikukus langsung dengan wadah LOCK&LOCK karena aman dan tahan panas
Bagaimana? Mudah kan, mau tau apa yang bikin semua kegiatan masak ini jadi lebih mudah lagi? Semua kegiatan masak-memasak tadi menggunakan wadah dari LOCK&LOCK Oven Glass Steam Hole mulai dari mengaduk semua bahan, mengukus tim sampai dengan penyajian. Jadi tidak perlu banyak mencuci juga (ketauan deh kalau malas). Selain itu ada beberapa poin plus dari wadah LOCK&LOCK Oven Glass Steam Hole yang menggunakan Heat-Resistant Glass ini, seperti:
  • Tidak akan pecah dengan sendirinya karena perubahan suhu. Tidak seperti Tempered Glass (kaca tempa biasa) yang rentan pecah sendiri dan jika pecah menimbulkan banyak kepingan kaca.
  • Bisa digunakan dalam microwave, oven dan dishwasher, karena terbuat dari bahan boroseal (boron trioxide dan silicon dioxide) yang tahan pada suhu panas dan suhu dingin dalam waktu bersamaan.
  • Berat lebih ringan sekitar 10% dibandingkan dengan Tempered Glass.
  • Permukaan akan tetap bening dan tidak akan menjadi keruh berkabut bila sering digunakan atau disimpan dalam jangka waktu yang lama karena kandungan Na2O atau Natrium Oksidanya rendah.
  • Tutup terbuat dari silikon yang aman ketika dimasukkan ke dalam microwave hingga suhu maksimum 200 derajat Celcius.
  • Terdapat steam hole untuk sirkulasi udara saat dimasukkan ke dalam microwave, sehingga makanan tidak akan kering dan cita rasa makanan tetap terjaga.

Selamat Makan! Langsung disajikan dalam wadah LOCK&LOCK, cantik kan?
Tampilan LOCK&LOCK semakin menarik dengan tutup berlubang udara yang imut
Yak, sekian sesi masak-memasak kita hari ini. Semoga resep Tim Telur ini bisa bermanfaat, terutama untuk yang lebih peduli dengan gaya makan yang sehat. Salam dari dapur Novi, sampai jumpa di lain waktu dengan resep-resep praktis berikutnya... bye... ^.^

Cerita Kuliner SUMOBOO! @ Mal Central Park - nuraisya blog

Today I will bring good news with me, a new Sumo Boo! just open. Now we can enjoy these yummy and delicious treats at Mal Central Park, pretty convenient for those who like to shop here. The new outlet located at 3rd floor next to Ikkudo Ichi accross Gramedia book store, it's hard to be missed. On my first visit here the decoration's not perfectly finished, but Sumo Boo!'s style with the round bulbs and leaves, woods, green and yellow colors already on. Probably not as fancy as it's predecessor at PIK, but the design still thick with Japanese cuteness.

While here, I include the neighbour Sumo Boo! at Mal Taman Anggrek. As the act of many positive responses since it first appearance at Pantai Indah Kapuk resulting with new outlets including this one.

The kitchen, where all the magic done
Cute drawing of the famous menus
Okay, let's move on to the menus I've tried there. From the main dish 'till the super deadly delicious desserts.


Buta Naked Ramen
IDR 38.000
Naked Ramen, spicy noodle with various level of spiciness, I usually choose level 5 or 10. The numbers may scare you at first but relax level five here actually means level 1 and ten means level 2, yup all the levels multiplied by five. The noodle is a bit different from ordinary noodle that always come with broth, this one a bit dry with a sunny side up, nori slices, any topping you like (the picture above is buta or pork, non halal) and a piece of lime to squeeze on top. Many opinions come for the taste, some of them think the taste a bit strange. But for me, it taste just great with it's own way and always eat it to the bottom.

Unagi Donburi
IDR 58.000
Donburi, steamed rice with a sunny side up, nori slices and topping eel cooked with soy sauce. Pretty similar combination like the ramen only noodle replaced with steamed rice. The eel taste great, mild and juicy.

Tori Popcorn Naked Ramen
IDR 38.000
Another version of naked ramen, this one with tori popcorn as the topping. Small chicken chunks fried with seasoning and dough.

Spam Donburi
IDR 35.000
And this one is another version of donburi, the topping called spam. What is spam? That is the first question we asked to the waiter. Spam made from sausage slices that grilled with minced meat (non halal) on top of them, suitable for those who like stronger taste.

Black Milk Tea
IDR 18.000

Peach Juice Yakult
IDR 21.000

Hot Nutella
IDR 29.000
From all three drinks we tried, I recommend Hot Nutella of course since I'm a big fan but then again they all tasty.

Kakigori 5: Nutella Bomb + Chocolate Mountain + Sliced Almond
IDR 40.000
Finally to dessert, my favorite part since Sumo Boo! obviously famous for the desserts. The first one is Kakigori, or so we called it shaved ice. The combination for Kakigori 5 as described above, here you can try their famous nutella bomb, a mochi with nutella explosive inside that always freshly made every couple hours to keep the taste as good as it gets.


Mixed Pudding + sliced almond
IDR 23.000
Elderly's favorite, since they're soft not so sweet and of course delicious. This one is the most simple combination of pudding, various flavored pudding with sliced almond and a cup of milk sauce.


Sumoboo Dessert 5: Bomb Ball + Big Boba + Mochi + Ice Cream + Red Bean + Pudding + Taro
IDR 35.000
Onto my favorite dessert above all desserts at Sumo Boo! Just remember this combination, Sumoboo Dessert 5, you won't regret it. I love every parts of them, the soft ice cream (default green tea, you can change when ordering), mixed pudding, bomb ball, big boba, mochi, taro and red bean forming a perfect flavor combination in my mouth. A must try!

For the ice cream, beside the default Green Tea flavor you can choose Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry or Red Bean
*All the prices above are subject to 10% tax and 3% service charge

And then there were none...
Our stomach are full, the bowls all empty now is time to wrap up my review this time. Like I always mention, the review are all made on my personal taste. So you should go and try for yourself to find your own favorite that should be a bit difficult since they all great. Bye for now ...

Cerita Kuliner Ohka Ramen @ PIK - nuraisya blog

This time I will take you to another eating point at PIK, a Japanese restaurant Ohka Ramen. Ohka means Sakura or cherry blossom, while ramen like you all know means noodle in Japanese. That facts conclude our specialities here, Japanese noodles. Before going to the food review let me take you around the restaurant a bit. 

Beautiful lanterns at the backyard seat
Front view of Ohka Ramen
From the moment you took the steps to the door there's a waiter that greed and opening the door for you and showing where you would like to sit. You can easily notice Japanese atmosphere really thick here, even during Christmas theme during my last visit there. You can choose to sit inside for more cool air or at the front porch nor backyard for more fresh air. But for busy hour, seats are due to availability.

Washi, one of the famous paper crafting arts in Japan
Sake anyone?
A glimpse of the open kitchen, there's also seats for you who want to watch the whole cooking process while eating.
Indoor seats
Seasonings and sauces always ready to add personal flavor to your meal
Front porch seats
Backyard seats
I think that's enough for introduction, I will take you to know more about Ohka Ramen which is their food. Here we go...


Edamame
IDR 18.000
For a starter or more precise your best friend while waiting your orders to be prepared, totally worth the price.

Karaage Spicy Miso Ramen
IDR 56.000
Ramen with spicy miso broth, corns, mushroom, hard boiled egg and fried chicken strips (karaage). The taste probably a bit mild for me, since they called it spicy I expected more than this. But the karaage manage to fix things up.

Karaage Miso Ramen
IDR 56.000
Ramen with miso broth, corns, mushroom, hard boiled egg and fried chicken strips (karaage).

Karaage Miso Tsukemen
IDR 56.000
Ramen with corns, mushroom, hard boiled egg, fried chicken strips (karaage) and separated thick miso broth to dip the ramen. That's right, the proper way to eat tsukemen is to dip the ramen a moment before you put them in your mouth, not by pouring and mix them together. From all the miso ramen we try, this is my favorite so far. A must try!

Gindara Teriyaki
IDR 65.000
Next is this juicy gindara that comes with spaghetti and mix salad. They all tasty and completing each other.

Chicken Katsu Curry
IDR 68.000
My favorite! I mean who doesn't like curry rice? This one is no exception either, the taste is perfect for both the crispy chicken katsu and the thick curry.

Chicken Katsuni Don & NikuUdon (Mini- Mini Set)
IDR 80.000
Just like their name, they all come in mini bowls: a bowl of Niku Udon (beef udon), a bowl of Chicken Katsuni Don (rice with vegetables, chicken katsu and scramble egg on top), pickles and side dishes.

Mochi Ice Cream
IDR 18.000 / piece
Finally it's time for these delicious mochis. Come with many flavor: cheesecake, chocolate, strawberry, tiramisu, vanilla, matcha and cookies & cream (clockwise start from the upper left mochi). I love all of them, but if I must pick I'll go with cookies & cream for the first place and vanilla as the runner up. A must must try at Ohka Ramen!

Okay the colorful mochis will end up my review this time, don't forget to visit Ohka Ramen at the address below to try their various menus. Bye and see you again on my next post ^.^
