Culinary Trip to Bogor


Today, we went to Bogor fora culinary trip. Dad searched on internet and made the list places we have to eat at Bogor. The weather today is not really hot, it was cloudy. So we don't need to deal with hot weather during our walk. ;D


Today's outfit. I wore Christmas gift from bf, it is super comfortable and quirky, has a unique design that comes in black and white color. Super love the gift, thanks to you! <3 Well, changed my top to the red t-shirt because i was sweating hahaha. My knee- length ripped jeans and green tote bag add some comfortable point for today's trip!


The guys (Dad + Bro) who posed. LOL

We went to Jalan Suryakencana where there are a lot of local food street. If you are planning a trip to Bogor, you surely can visit this street, because local food street are gathered closely.
First stop, SATE BABI! (Pork satay)


Looks yum? TRUE. you can find this pork satay along the street. The smell was so good! They grilled the satay nicely on charcoal, which can make the meat become more tasty and savory. They also swing the air with a hand fan, the goal is to make the smoke goes evenly to every part of the meat. We all were waiting in hungry and couldn't stop starring at the satay to be ready.


 

Now the satay is ready to be served! A portion cost IDR 20k. We first ordered a portion, then we decide to add a portion more because it was so good! It looks as tasty as the zoomed picture of the satay above. Writing this makes me drool now, thinking about the satay.

Let's see now our next stop...

Soto Kuning Pak Yusup (Yellow Soup)
Jl Suryakencana Gg Aut - Bogor
Telp: 0877 70278585



Another super delicious soto here at Bogor. My first time to try this. It is made from turmeric and spices, completed with fried onion, pieces of tomato and filled with beef. You can also choose offal for the filling. I choose beef instead.

I like when soto comes with fresh orange limo, because basically i love sour food. The taste become very fresh, the salty taste is also perfect. But i think the bad side was the chili, though it looked good when you can add chili, i discouraged taking the chili because it looked.... so not clean.

My suggestion for you all the hygienist person, do BRING your own spoon and fork. I once looked at the spoon- fork container, it looked black and dusty, even some of the spoon and fork looked dirty... :') I almost could not swallow the food if i think of that. so i just quickly eat and think about another thing ;'D but the taste was nice. You should try!


Next, we also fill our tummy with more and more foods! xD Our family member doesn't have any problem with body weight, we eat a lot but our body mass is really not growing. Lucky us!

 


Ice Cincau is known as Indonesian traditional dessert made from gula merah (red sugar) and grass jelly. It comes with sweet flavor, but this one i think was not really good because it tastes like less sugar. But, the crowd here shows they were exciting to buy it here! We continued munch combro (Oncom dijero) - i don't know what to say 'Oncom dijero' in English ;D it tastes so good, spicy inside and fried nicely outside.

We have eaten a lot, but we would not stop until we can find Sop sumsum! (marrow soup). Soup sumsume comes from the inside of a cow bone. Interesting, let's continue!

Rumah Sumsum
Top Menu: Sop Sumsum Sapi (Rp. 25.000) 
Open hour: 10.00 - 21.00   
Jl. Lawang Gintung No. 21, Bogor Telp. (0251) 8314579



When the soup came, my first reaction was "WHAAT? SUCH A BIG PORTION! Yes, the overview was surprising, with the big bone over the bowl, whereas, the bowl was also quiet big! We ordered 2 portions only because we wanted to continue eating another food hehe xD 

The restaurant also provides a straw. YES, a straw. In case you can not reach the marrow inside the bone, you simply can just slurp it! Very unique, new experience for eating food by slurping what is inside. The appearance was also nice, the clear broth was also delicious and completed with fried onion, taste a bit oily and you can add some sour flavor by pressing  orange limo. For your information, some might not like the soup, especially the marrow. Some people don't like the fat flavor and a bit oily with the typically smell. She literally screamed and wanted to throw ;D my mother also dislike it but she likes the soup. But my dad, brother and me were enjoying the soup so much! We bribe the food into our mouth until it's all finished.

Tasted very good, recommended food to try!


Next:


It's Soto Mie Bogor (noodle soup) picture above! Mom ordered this one while waiting dad bought lumpia basah. Looks tasty, but the reality IS NOT! We al super dislike the taste, we have known the original taste of soto mie Bogor before, and we were surprised by the taste, it was not good. The smell was also terrible, when the soup came into our mouth, the taste we all can described was only "EWW' with a frown on our face. Never ever come back again for this for sure!

It was located at Jalan Suryakencana also, i will not mention the name, yet i also forgot the name!

These food above were not the only food we ate, we ate kue pukis, lumpia basah, cakes, and so on. I didn't take the pictures of those food. At 17.00 PM, we decided to return back to our home because we felt that we are full enough. At night around 20.00 PM, we all were eating our dinner again! xD Of course not in our usual portion, we only ate small amount of rice and pork meat hahaha.

Hope this blog post of reviews help, happy holiday! :D

Christmas: Joyful Moment


Merry Christmas fellas! I am really happy that this year, i still can celebrate Christmas with family. My bf just gave me Christmas present on 22nd December, two days earlier because he was leaving to Surabaya and back to his hometown. I got a super lovely big parcel filled with cookies, nutella, pringles, etc. Plus, there was an uber cute reindeer sock doll and a small Christmas tree above. Thank you! <3


Mom's home bake cheese soft cake for the Christmas morning.


I'll be munching these happily... ;D


I prepared some Christmas gift for my family since two days ago. They were surely happy! And i got a pair of a black jelly flat shoes from mom, which is very comfy and avoiding a shoe damage because of this rainy season.


Guess what? I am amazed with my dad's hand drawing of my mom. Exactly like she is! The detail is very good, like at the hair and the eyes. Dad gave the present for Mother's Day actually, but turned out that this paintings had not finished yet. So, he gave it to mom on Dec 24th, as a Christmas present. What a suppa talented dad ever.


Christmas outfit. Decided to wear red for my bottom with heeled ankle boots on. Added a thin belt and an earings. Sorry for the little bit dark picture ;)




Family picture taken by a waitress. Not a very good picture, but the faces there are happy!

We had a family lunch at Ikan Bakar Pangkep 33. This restaurant is our family favorite. You can eat Makassar food in the super mouth- watering menu. The chili, seafood, veggies, etc are ALWAYS GOOD. This Christmas, not all family member joined the crowd. Some of them are still on their vacation abroad.

We also had Christmas Eve dinner at Central Chinese Food Restaurant, Serpong. Very good food! So... tasty.


Everyday, we can thank Lord Jesus for making such blessings into our family. Christmas means The Savior of this world has just born. He saved us, died on cross. He came to die. Let's celebrate Christmas with warm heart and forever grateful to God.

Merry Christmas!

Summer Holiday Essentials, Let's Pack!




Hello everyone! We know, packing for some people is fun! Yet, the rest of us also think that packing is exhausting. Too many things to be carried! Traveling is very exciting, and my favorite holiday destination is beach. This holiday, i think i am not going to any other beach :( Next year perhaps!

This post will give you ideas on what you gonna need to bring when you are going to beach. Easy, compact and hopefully light! ;)



Left: Ristra Sun Care Sunblock, SPF 17
Right: Neutrogena Sun Screen, SPF 30 
Both sunblock are very soft on skin, it stays longer and they don't make you fill like you are wearing an invisible cream mask.


Left: Banana Boat Spray Sun Screen, SPF 30
Right: Cetaphil Face Cleanser for All Skin Types 
You can use your spray sunblock to add protection for skin. Your skin MUST be protected. You don't want your skin got burned. After a long day, don't forget to clean your face using Cetaphil. This cleanser is good and soft for your skin, yet it suits all skin types. You can share the cleanser with your family or friends!


Left: Lucido Hair Serum (to prevent dry hair because of sun heat)
Pixy Make-up Removal
Gatsby Face Cleansing Paper

Right: Hazeline Snow Moisturizing Cream 
You really need to bring your moisturizer with you, yo prevent a very dry skin of your face.  I really love this moisturizer from Hazeline, it suits me best and my skin is hydrated and feels super soft whenever i put this on.


Relian Mascara
Drawing Eyebrow by Etude in Dark Brown


Lip Smacker Lip Balm

Holiday at beach, we only need some simple makeup. because hot and humid weather would literally make your heavy makeup fade :D Bring your favorite mascara, eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, lip balm, etc. Let our natural beauty shines.


Mango "Delibrium" Eau de Toilette Natural Spray

I got this perfume as my birthday present from my auntie. It smells very fresh like roses, and it comes with super cute packaging in pink! The bottle itself is so cute too, with a ribbon on the top. The smell is not "too heavy" for outdoor activities, where your perfume's smell could mixed up with the sun's smell. If you like perfumes with fresh smell, i totally recommend this!


The things you would like to bring. A comb, a shaving tool from Schick (incase you really want a hair- free skin! hahaha), hair tie and pins.
Bring your big tote bag so it could carry your stuffs! In addition, you will need a beach blanket (mine is pink), you favorite sunglasses and a floppy hat to protect your face from the sun.






Time to play with colorful outfit! Any maxi dress, midi dress or even mini dress are allowed! Wear your favorite short, tanks, blouse and swimsuit. You can add accessories like big sunglasses, floppy hat, scarf, beaded bracelets and bangles, and so on. Don't forget to wear your lovely flip flop or thongs, and...... camera :p
You can decorate your nails too with bright colors. But this time i chose the neutral pallete and added stickers on it, still pretty right? :) 
Tips: bring some breezy and light material clothes with you.
Now, packing is no longer an exhausting time for you! Just bring what you need don't make yourself tired for stuffs you carry. Have fun!


Happy Holiday, hope the tips help!

Casual Day

 

Ever had yourself panicking on what to wear?
It happens to me ALWAYS. (yes, always). Girl's problem, never solved! :p we really have a lot of clothes in our wardrobe but still have no idea on what to wear.

Try my trick: try to put a pair of your favorite jeans and some white outfit. i picked my white chiffon sleeveless shirt and a dark blue skinny jeans. Just go with the light material, to suit Indonesian weather. Sleeveless shirt is a great example if you want to wear something casual, but still look neat at the same time. Wear it casually, or add blazer to formal occassions. This item is really versatile too!  add your favorite accessories! White and jeans never go wrong.

I got mine from Singapore a long time ago for only SGD 7! Exactly at Bugis Street. Best feeling is when you can buy somthing you like and it's good, in a such cheap price!




I love wearing heels. To add some color, i paired my outfit with a blue pumps from @menbeautyheels on Instagram. It has a shoelace in front, and the height is 8cm. It is super comfortable! They have various collections of shoes, such a heaven. The brand called Kvoll, a Korean shoes brand. Recommended.





Added a polkadot scarf to prevent boring style ;) I wanted something different than any other accessories, like a necklace for example. You should try! ;)

See you on next posts!

Rainy Season



Popped up in mind yesterday, the super comfortable outfit ever in the season here in Indonesia. Seems like every time i want to snuggle all over my blankets and get more and more sleep ;p

Mom bought the sweater at Matahari Department Store (@mataharideptstore) and surprisingly, it was the same pick with me! few months ago i almost buy this sweater, but i didn't proceed because i thought that, i will ask mom to buy. A month latter, i found the sweater on my mom's rack. Surprised! Mother- daughter's bond works. ;D



The material is so comfy, yet has a nice texture too. The fabric is soft, it warms me, but it doesn't make me feel any hot. Paired it with my black high- waisted  pants from (@sa_shhop). The pants is stretch! Love.


 My mom also bought me this shoes from Indonesia established local shoe brand called Ando Shoes. The shoes is very light, it feels so comfortable on my feet. Recommended shoes for going to school, college or a trip.


Pink lips, with hoop earings to complete the look.

Simple, quick, and stylish in easy outfit.
