Culinary :: Kumayaki, Japanese Puff Snacks

Kumayaki is a franchise Japanese Puff Snacks. The bread just like croissant, and you can add filling your fave taste.

They fill the fla from the backside. It's chocolate fla, and not pure chocolate, so the taste is different.

Culinary :: Maystar Jogja City Mall > Yogyakarta ~ Special District of Yogyakarta ~ Indonesia

There's a new restaurant in Yogyakarta. It's Maystar, which very famous in Jakarta. I have been there once (Jakarta Branch), but that time, my relatives invite us for breakfast dimsum.

Culinary :: Istana Mie dan Es, Artos > Magelang ~ Central Java ~ Indonesia

One of the restaurant that we can always find at Mall in Indonesia is Istana Mie dan Es. It's famous with it's noodle and ice. But, there's also another food in here.

Just like when I eat there with my friends, at one of their franchise in Armada Town Square, Magelang.

I order Rice with Butter Sauce.

This restaurant has different method of order compare with other common restaurant in Indonesia. In here, we have to pay first then eat and after finished, we just leave. We pay the food, not in cashier, but the waiter / waitress will collect our order and count it in front of us.

If you need change, they will collect your money first then give the change after put it on registry.

The food here has standard price for restaurant in mall. Not too expensive, but not too cheap either. And it's convenient to eat here because they have a lot of menu.

Pepper Lunch was created in 1994 by chef and inventor Kunio Ichinose, who wanted to serve quality fast food without hiring a chef. He devised a method using hot metal plates that are heated to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 Celsius) by an electromagnetic cooker. The raw meat with vegetables and/or rice are then placed on the plates, where they cook in front of the customer. The meat can be eaten rare or well done, depending on the customer's preference. The meal is then mixed with a choice of either the special honey brown sauce (Amakuchi) or garlic soy sauce (Karakuchi).

When the food come, don't touch the plate because it's hot. Everything that put inside the plate except rice, is raw. So you have to cooked it on the plate by let it touch the plate until it reached your taste, well done, medium well, etc.

Beef Pepper Rice after mix

It taste like fried rice, but with blackpepper. You can add the seasoning by your self such as soy sauce, ketchup, tomato sauce, etc.

Becareful, because it's still hot.
