Porky Brunch

Hi-Hellow, Dear Readers.
How's your sunday going? mine? it was great.

Here's s short recap of mine :
- I got up earlier than my alarm[Great!!],
- Went to the Church and guess what? yesterday's service was sooo special it was Sunday-School Sunday. So the entire service was done by the sunday school students and teachers.
- Had a great lunch with my fellas [this is what we're going to talk about in a moment XD]
- Went to Baywalk Mall
- Got to do some sports and went to dinner with my youth-community fellows.

SO, today i'll try reviewing one of our favorite 'Nasi-Campur' [mixed (pork) rice] restaurant : ATEK.
what's so great about it? What's the recommended menu? we'll get into it real soon. :D
i went to their center branch which was located in Komp. Taman Duta Mas Blok C 1b No. 6 West-Jakarta, this restaurant provides one of the best Hongkong Style Grilled Pork in town.

They offer 2 different choices of rice here, the Plain White Rice, and the Hainanese Chicken-Rice.
for the meat, ATEK gives you 3 choices of meats : Pork, Chicken, and Duck.
if you choose chicken and/or duck, they're offering a HK Style roasted chicken and duck. they're good.
But if you decide to go with the pork, you've made a brilliant choice, they have this Crispy-yet-tender 'Siobak', the original 'chasio', and the best [my most recommended menu] is their Sweet-Crispy-Yummy Honey-Glazed-'Chasio' [chasio madu] this was sooo good you have to try 'em yourself.
[*ps : they do offers many kinds of chinese foods as well, but this HK Style Roasted Meats are their specialities]

As for me, i ordered Hainanese Chiken-Rice [pork], it comes as a set with one bowl of Chiken Rice, Slices of 'siobak', 'chasio', 'chasio madu', a couple slice of roasted chicken, and half-an-boiled-egg. :D
Price : idr. 37K

if you prefer the White-Rice one, it's a good thing on it's own. xD it comes with a little [just a little bit] cheaper.
Price : idr. 35K

Once you're done with your meal, just RIGHT IN FRONT of this restaurant, you can find this street vendor selling 'es potong'. i tried the durian flavored one, and it was such a nice treat to help you bear with Jakarta's super-timid-weather. for you who's happen to be a non-durian-eater, my friends did try the avocado flavored, and guess what? they're as satisfied as i am.

this chilly-treat are just too expense-friendly,
they're at idr. 5K Each.

WHAT A TREAT, isn't it?

FoodPhoria..!

Yeap! it is what you [might] think it is.

The most recent Euphoria Project's event called
Vibe Five : Tribeca Over-Pop-Up X Euphoria Project
it's the 5th Anniversary of Central Park Mall.
9 -14th September 2014

So i went there yesterday (and the day before :D)
and look what i found! :9

13th Sept :
Churros La Fonda!
i've never eaten a 'churros' before, i thought it would be somehow fragile-crispy like those cookies you take from a jar. So this stand catch my attention and i decided to give it a try, ordered 10 pieces of the cinnamon-covered one and the precious dark chocolate dipping [i LOVE dark chocolate].
it turns out that it's a lil bit chewy inside more like a fried cake than a cookie.
i love how the texture and how i tasted, but 10 is just too much to eat all at once. i'm glad that i wasn't alone at the time. XD

14th Sept
The Fctry Bistro And Bar.
it says "Oxtail Don" on the menu. and i like how their staff greet. they was like super friendly and saying things like "this is good, guaranteed." and "o hi, we have this..and that.. our favorite menu is this.." so i decided to go with the Oxtail Don, super spicy one.

Eggeats.
when you have sweet tooth, you can't just pass by a dessert booth after a meal, right? [who's with me? XD] so this Hongkong-style Waffle my friend bought was a good after-meal-sweets. This one also got me surprised, i thought it would be crispy and it turns out more spongy [if that's the proper word XD]. As you see the picture down there, i'm taking about those round things :p

Here's some pictures i took at the event :






10 pcs of churros (idr 25K + 5K for the dip)

until the very last bite, right? :)



the Oxtail Don (idr. 50K)


HK Style Cheese-Waffle by EggEats (idr 21K + 5K for additional nutella dip)

There's always a first time for everything, right?
This was my first time trying these interestingly-famous-foods. :D

So It's mid-September, right? in days, it'll be 1 month since my 22nd bday, and so do my new-watch.

Thanks to my loving mom, i finally get to own a piece of this fine watch which I've been longing on my own for this since about last year, so you tell me, how excited i am! [wohoooo!!!]

It was the very next day after my actual birthday, and i kinda dragged her to Plaza Indonesia to purchase this Classic St. Andrew [thanks mom! XD] at the watch co. Plaza Indonesia lv. 2. Couldn't hide the excitement, i even grammed a pic of their paperbag.
Here's some pictures :









Gram-ed this one and guess what?? i got featured on Daniel Wellington's official Instagram account.
