While my eldest sister back then was already eighteen, I was lucky enough to be the youngest. Proven; my three-years older brother and I …

While service is kinda slow, my 200gr NZ tenderloin was indeed worth waiting for. Perfect medium, well-grilled, and the white barbeque sauce on the side was really nice. At Rp95K, the portion comes with two side dishes. Must have is the green salad drenched in Japanese vinaigrette dressing. The corn batayaki is buttery and sweet …

Twilight Can Suck It!

I watched two human-and-creatures love stories this week and had a lot of fun in both. What irks me is how people tend to compare them with Twi-fucking-light – the ugliest trash ever written.

Kicked start in 1988, the Die Hard franchise is the pioneer of multi-layered movies with subliminal text and thoughtfully written underlying message – something that Peter Jackson failed to copy through his tedious The Lord of the …

I was not feeling too adventurous as I opted for the Tom Kha Gai to open the supper. At first sip, this herbal coconut milk soup made rich with slices of shallot, kaffir lime, ginger cuts, and galangal was mildly striking. The chicken was tender, and the mushrooms were delicate. A nice opening served in …
