Remboelan restaurant @ Senayan Mall

Jakarta - One of Jakarta's best restaurant and was my first to taste their food.

Remboelan restaurant

The registration is at the end of the mall and the restaurant is a flight of stairs up. A very Indonesian decor and artistically design of warmth.

Lumpia vegetarian

Deep fried spring-rolls called Lumpia. Similar to the Lumpia of Philippines and most probably originated from China as Popiah.

Slices of deep fried beef with hot chilies

Beef Rendang

The Beef rendang is so soft and tender, it simply melt in my mouth. One of my favourite food here at this restaurant.

Kangkong Belachan

Deep fried chicken

Indonesian salad

The cracker needed to be 'cracked' and you eat it with the tossed salad. A very refreshing salad dish with freshness of the vegetables mixed with the crunchiness of the cracker.

Chicken and beef satay

Both were not tender so it is actually better to go to a Satay restaurant to taste the best satay.

Deep fried chicken style

Mario, Hari, Willy and myself (in Batik)

Calesa around Intramuros

Manila - Together with Albert, we took a calesa (horse drawn carriage used in Philippines) around Intramuros. Albert and Lesley Albert and I Intramuros is the oldest district and historic core of Manila. The walled part of Manila was called intramuros, which is Latin for "within the walls"; districts beyond the walls are known as extramuros meaning outside the walls. Construction of the defensive walls was started by the Spaniards in the late 16th century to protect the city from foreign invasions. Guarding the old city is Fortaiago wich is located at the mouth of the river.

Cheong Guk Jang - fermented bean soup

Seoul - Lunch with Youngjin was at a traditional soup restaurant and it was crowded. Youngjin asked me many times Cheonggukjang "ok", I said ok not knowing what to expect. I have tried many weird and smelly good in Seoul, so I was very prepared. My first time tasting Cheonggukjang and I like it. CheongGukJang 청국장 is fermented soybean soup aka Stinky soup. Actually, I like fermented food and the smell does not put me off. I like fermented food because of the many health benefits and also we have them here in Singapore - tempe, belachan, fermented bean curd (which I love with my porridge), chincaluk, etc.. very hot Cheonggukjang I always buy danjang paste and bring home to make soup. I understand that they are the same but the difference is Cheonggukjang beans are uncrushed and are fermented for a longer period of time.
