Sari Bundo Padang Restaurant @ Juanda, Jakarta

If you never been to Padang restaurant before, this is how you will be served. They will take most of the food on plates and served on your table, you don't have to order except if what you wanted are not on the table yet or if you want more portion on some things.

I like Sari Bundo for Padang restaurant the most. Their chicken gulai or roasted are the best. But they are not cheap like other Padang restaurant. I also like their potato chips with spicy taste. What I love the best from them are their "Soto Padang" below. It's in a small bowl, consist of rice vermicelli, tomato, fried beef in beef soup. The bestttttt ever!

CNY dinner @ home :D

Oh my, 4 persons eating 12 portions of food. hahaha amazing ... Hope with this, comes abundance of health and wealth into my home and family. :)

First dish would be the very nice pork spring rolls with bamboo shoot. The crispiness of the skin and the juiciness of the pork... Nobody could resist it...

Second, would be the shark fin soup with crab meat and crab roe... Yummy! Add some black vinegar into it just the way I like it. 

Number 3 would be sea cucumber, cooked in chicken soup. The sea cucumber is soft and melting in my mouth hihi 

4th is fried ngohiang. This year I tried to put big chunks of water chestnut instead of grate them. It makes the ngohiang kind of soggy because we didn't dried them properly :( 

5th! The hong ba! Nyam2 ... the meat and the mushroom is juicy and the squid add some flavor into them. Too bad this time the sauce that comes with it is soooo little that it doesn't taste as good as usual. 

6th is tanghun. It's a sort of rice vermicelli It's stir fried with shrimp. It signifies long strand of prosperity :)

7th fried shrimp then stir fried with butter and sweet soysauce. Shrimp signifies laughter and happiness that will come into the family.

 8th stir fried dried-scallop with egg. It is said that scallop signifies to bear a son soon. Haha , I don't think it have anything to do with my family, except if my sister having another son soon, hahaha.

9th is abalone and mushroom cooked in chicken soup. My favorite seafood :)

10th is hand made pork sausages in pork broth. 

11th is vegetable stir-fry with fried bbq pork. Yummy!

Another dish is just a plain vegetable stir fry, which makes it 12 dishes in total... Hahaha but of course we didn't finish it in one go, we're not that savage :D 

The bottom point is ... Delicious!!

"Soto Mie" Gg. Telor, Jakarta

I got 2 favorite stalls for "soto mie". Both of them is close to my home =) So, when I got nothing to eat at home I usually bought this food hehe. This one is named soto mie Gg. Telor. It's served with sliced carrots, beef, noodle and rice vermicelli, also slices of risol (fried dough with rice vermicelli in it).

Pour the soup and add the chili into it, voila! You got a great "soto mie" to fill your lonely stomach =D. The taste is really good with the salty and spicy and the fragrance of the meat soup.

If you prefer your "soto mie" doesn't really has the beefy smells into it, you would prefer this one than the other one I like. But that other one served more ingredients than this one, so it's a matter of preference.

"Pastel"

Yesterday my father bought a box of "pastel" from a guy that we usually bought "bacang" from. Remember, I talked about a guy that sells good "bacang" on this post http://yummieonmytummie.blogspot.com/2010/08/cake-n-food-from-market-petak-sembilan.html . Well, this is another food that he sells.

The filling contains beef, potato, egg, carrot and rice vermicelli. The seasonings is just right, not too salty and has a bit of sweetness in it. The crispiness!!! The skin is not too thin so it doesn't crumble when you bite, but it's really crispy.
