Indianesse Cuisine

Not so long time ago, it's about 2 weeks ago I just craved food of Indian dishes.
At Medan, there is a place or a location that full of Indian people that what I heard from my father story, they can be here in Medan because of the war and also the trading that happened long time before I was born. #LOLS

I just loved to crave the India Cuisine, their curry was very tasteful.
It was really an Indian Specialty to cooked Curry with lamb meat than in indian language is "Muttan".

I went to Cahaya Baru Indian Food House & Resto that was located at the place that my father told, it called Kampung Keling at Cik Dik Tiro Street.
I went there with someone that you know who. We ordered the specialty of their resto "Mutan Briyani", "Palak Peener", "Martabak", and for the beverages I ordered the rose milk and apple juice.
Current price here was Idr 35k - 50k.

What is Briyani?
Biryani/Briyani is a rice-based dish made with spices, rice (usually basmati) and chicken, mutton, fish, eggs, or vegetables. The name is derived from the Persian word beryā(n), which means "fried" or "roasted". Alternative spellings include biriani, biriyani, buriyani, beryani or beriani. Biryani was believed to have been invented in the kitchen of the Muslim Mughal Emperors - From Wikipedia.com

Here's the photos of originally Briyani from India.

And this the Place and the food that I ordered when I hunted for Indian Cuisine.

Fyi, I was now in my concern to be more serious to learn about culinary, because I found that was not only fun and fulfill my hungriness but also it's an art of being well-known about every pert of food that I eat and also the different cuisine of different country that already be in Medan.

Good Luck :)

Hi readers... talking about Green, whatever it is, as for me the healthy color for me was green.
Let's see what do you think about the green forest picture above, I'm sure you will tell me that forest was fresh, clean and healthy. is it? :D

Continue to green theme, I was just hunt for vegetarian culinary with all the theme of the food house "White and Green".
The cafe was named "First Green". For you who just learn or start to have vegetarian, don't worry because nowadays chef or even the cook was very creative on making vegetarian dishes.

First Green was located at 3rd floor, Sun Plaza, Medan. The concept of the cafe was very COOL for me, because I can find that I was very comfort there even just in simple table set or design.
But the owner also creative that he/she hanged a lot of quotes for people that was really loved culinary.

That day, I ordered the "Spicy Thai Kwetiau" and my friend ordered the specialty of First Green "First green mee hoon".
The specialty food was really interesting, they cooked the noodles by deep-frying it and the side dish was a combination of eggs that cooked with some vegetables in creamy sauce.
Oh as your info, the portion also in big portion, you can share with your friends.
For beverage I ordered the honey lemon juice and my friend order the greeny pineapple juice that blend with some vegetables.
Current price here around idr 18k - 90k.

So.. let's all of us start to have a delicious veggie dish. I found that nowadays many people start to have veggie dish because of some reason.
But whatever the reason is, Vegetarian was good for our health.

Wanna try some? for you the beginners?
Good Luck :)

Urban Edgy Cafe is Here

Holla amigoz.. Hope all of you was excellent as usual.
I will share about the cafe that was in an epic urban design. I know most of culinary entrepreneur were very creative and attractive to make theme of it's restaurant or cafe.

I came here 2 weeks ago to have my dine, the cafe called "Lekker Urban Food House". First time was opened at Multatuli Blok CC, and now the owner opened up one new branch at Putri Hijau Golf and Driving area.
The owner really have a good eyes of interior design and I think the Designer also have a good and brilliant idea to create a really Urban Style to suite the cafe.
If you're new comer, I assume you will look around detail for the design my dear readers.

If you are about to have your lunch or even dine here, I tell you that they served in big portion, so just ordered it wisely and don't waste any food. :)

I ordered the Cheesy Pizza, the Keraton Jogja Rice and for the beverage we ordered the Kiwi Smoothies.
Current price here was around idr 20k - 120k.
Here's the photos of the Lekker Urban Food House and the food exactly XD

What do you think dear readers?
Want to come here and enjoy the comfort of the cafe and discover the urban design here?
Beside the design interior was incredible the food also fantastico.

The most I loved was the chessy pizza, thin pizza and crunchy.
Every food house has it's own design and theme, that's depend on how the owner create and imagine one creation that make another people amaze!

Got it? :)

Good Luck :)

Seafood Attack

Hello my dear readers..
Talking about seafood, here's some explanation about seafood.
According to Mr.Wikipedia, seafood is any form of sea life regarded as food by humans. Seafood prominently includes fish and shellfish. Shellfish include various species of molluscs, crustaceans, and echinoderms.

As you know, there's a lot of seafood cuisine, if you're at Italy, they have their own seafood specialty, or even in America, Korea and soon.
As I was in Medan that the population of Tionghua were here, as me myself, usually we cooked seafood in Chinese specialty and also combination of Indonesian specialty.

Continue about seafood, actually I was a little bit of allergic to seafood, but I can't bare to not eating that especially the prawn.. XD

The most favorite seafood from Italian specialty was Spaghetti with mussels, clamps and shrimp.
But Unfortunately, Medan Culinary haven't had this kind of dish, the most similarity was the Seafood Spaghetti that I ever ate at "Gardenia Cafe", but the Indonesian taste still strong that the Italian taste.

The Spaghetti with mussels, clamps and shrimps was very strong taste in the seafood combination with the pasta.

You can search how to cooked this Seafood Pasta by click here. 

They give the instruction to cooked this Spaghetti with Mussels, Clamps and Shrimps. Enjoy :)

How about the Seafood cuisine from Medan?
Usually Medan people loved to ordered prawns, crabs, squids and soft crabs. 
I just having my seafood culinary hunting last weekends, at simple restaurants, their specialty was "Crabs cooked with Padang Sauce".

It tasted spicy, savoury, and very tasteful. Cooked with Padang Sauce was the cooking combination from Chinese and Padang exactly. Not only the crabs that we ordered, we also ordered "Mussels cooked with oyster sauce" and also the "Kale Belacan (Kangkung Belacan)".
Here's the photos..

So how is it? 
All I can say was "DELICIOUS", we ordered 1.5 kg of the crabs that cost us idr 150k.
The other dishes also delicious, so tasteful and make me forget about my allergic even my diet. #LOLS.

Here's a video for you that loves the Seafood Pasta by Chef Dennis Vieria, Enjoy :)

Good Luck :)

Penang Culinary Hunting Part III

The next day, 23 Oct 2013 still at Penang.
I woke up at 8 a.m Penang time, and it's 7 a.m at Medan.

Because still tired of yesterday all day long out and activities, so we just being lazy for a while and I played my gadget and posted my culinary food photos to my instagram.
Follow me if you haven't follow my insta to know more about my hunting, Shilvia_Lie and thanks before XD

Here's I take shoots of Penang morning scenery from the Apartment we lived on 14th floor.
A beautiful view of the ocean and YES.. the wind was really fresh air from the ocean.
But it's kinda cloudy, so the sea was not as clear as seen in real.

After we took bath and prepared everything for going back hometown, we went to Gurney lower ground floor to searched breakfast.
First, my aunt would like to have breakfast at 600cc, unfortunately "closed already".

So we changed our next destination to have breakfast at Chicken Rice Chop.
The specialty here was Hainam Chicken Rice(10.9 rm), so I ordered that but with the roasted chicken and my aunt ordered the Mee with Sweet Pork (11.0 rm).
Mee with Sweet Pork was kinda seem like "Mie Pansit" that usually Medan people loved to have for their breakfast.

For the dessert we ordered "Rujak Penang" that cost 10 rm. And for the drink, we just ordered hot tea and shared together.
Seems like we're taking too many bags. LOLS

After we have breakfast, we directly went to Adventis Hospital, my aunt have appointment for little medical checkup.
A long way to Hospital, I enjoy the scenery of the sea, actually I dunno what to call it, Harbor or Sea???
Ahh... whatever... at least I enjoyed it.

 
At Hospital I met 2 little kids that was came from Arab, they're really cute.
The boy was 4 years old and the girl was 9 years old.
They're really cute, chubby and funny.
They played with us when we were waiting for our turn to see the Doctor.

And after finished all the things we done at Hospital, we have no idea where to go anymore, so just back directly to the airport and have chitchat there just two of us.
We have really fun chitchat on our short traveling.

At Airport we just crave KFC for our way back to Medan.
See you again Penang...
My next trip that I'll be hunting was Thailand-Bangkok (4D3N).
When???? Still secret.. :) ASAP.. I'll go there

See youuuu Penang... I hope I can arrange more longer time for hunting more food at Malaysia.
