Coffee, Life will never be the same..


Dear Coffee Lovers,
the fact shows: 77% adults (161 million peoples) drink coffee, either in daily or occasional basis (www.findarticles.com).
Indeed, Coffee is excellent for boosting your mood and mind. It boost more concentration to your work and bring cheerfulness for your day.

Here is my fun eating coffee experience..
First thing in the morning, It's always fun to pour a cup of hot coffee for myself. It always remove my sleepy face..2 tea spoonful of powder coffee + creamer + sugar. Pour hot water, stir it, done!

Smell it first, close your eyes then feel the aroma of coffee, inhale deeply into your lungs and feel the sensation..Fun indulgence..

After lunch, I end it up with a cup of coffee. It always work to remove "the full feeling"on stomach after eating. I rather take it with less sugar to get the "feel" of coffee..

I usually take 2-3 cups of coffee a day. every time I go to supermarket, you must find a collection of coffee package in my basket.
I like to taste different coffee taste at different times. but powder is preferable than the instant one..I love the fun of taking the nature smell of coffee.

At weekend, I usually enjoy my time in the coffee shop..I call it "Relax Time".
A cup of hot Cappucino or Latte is a good choice to be enjoyed here.
In case that I need extra "boost", I order Machiato. Extra Vanilla or Mocha Flavour should be added to your indulgence!

Try it! Put a bite of cookies, then sip your hot Latte slowly now..Feel the aroma of coffee and the crispy of cookies mix together in your mouth..How the cookies is slowly separated into dust then melted with Latte in your mouth..Mmh..
When it is combined with eating donuts, a black coffee will be a perfect combination! the bitter taste of coffee is being muffled with sweet taste from donuts..Delicious! Feel your fun eating experience there..

At coffee shop, I love to sip at my coffee quietly at the corner. I love the fun feeling of cozy seat and watch the interaction of people around me. I can see a man with his laptop, the woman with her magazine, boy who is busy to flattered to his girl, even the old grandpa with his newspaper. Its always fun to find coffee is always be there to accompany human in their activities in different purpose.

Now, I think its my cup of coffee's time..Have a Coffee Day, my friends!

Ketoprak..Fun Eating experience : day and night..


Dear Fun Eating Lovers:
It always become my favourite food since I was a little girl..Fortunately, the ketoprak seller was selling the ketoprak next to my door. As the result, every 1-2 days, I whined to my Mom to buy it for me ^_^.
Do you know what? The Ketoprak seller is very handsome. He look like the popular singer at that time, Mr R**** H******. wondering why he didn't get famous also, huh? I also keep it in mind too..

In short, I always have my ketoprak wishes to Mr. "R"(that's how I called him). then I will bring the biggest plate I can found in my kitchen. It was fun to think the bigger plate, the bigger portion I will get ^_^ . I ran next door then starting commanding my wishes to Mr. "R"

1. No Ketupat (Rice steamed, wrapped by coconut leaves)
2. More Rice Noodles
3. More Tofu and must be half-fried
4. More Peanut Sauce
5. More chili
6. No mistake in interpreting my request ^_^
In fact, he just listened carefully (and quietly also), and 10 minutes after that, a plate of ketoprak was ready to be eaten! Here is my lunch time!

So, what is ketoprak ? Ketoprak is familiar to be found on Jakarta's street. The seller is bringing a big cart, usually in red color. they hit the plates to inform their coming. "Ting..Ting..Ting.." Fun noise at the midday for me..
The sound will certainly change into "dug..dug..dug" when the seller is busy in pestling the peanut sauce..

You can find eating ketoprak to become very fun and unique, as it consists rice noodles, tofu, chili, and ketupat and be poured with tasty peanut sauce..
First, the seller will put the chili (customized whether you want it hot or not) + garlic + peanut grill + brown sugar, mixed it with citrus water together, pestle them together.
after that, he will put sliced ketupat, take hot tofu and slice it into pieces, take an amount of rice noodles into the peanut sauce. sluurp! Add the Soy Sauce as the topping. last step, pour smashed red chips. Perfect! Now it is Fun eating time..

Usually, the ketoprak seller will be easily to be found at day time. but in the certain areas in Jakarta, you can also find it at night time. I dont know why, but the night one taste better for me. the night time ketoprak is always full of customers. they usually bring kerosene lamp and stay in one place. it is different from day time, the seller is towarding his cart from street to street..

No matter in day time or night time, Eating ketoprak is always delicious for all times!
