Home Picnic

Jakarta is truly, extremely, madly hot madness these days. Nowhere to go, home picnic seems to be the best option, something I always want to do...and here I am...my own home version home pique-nique, minus the food!

Tizis Bandung

Tizis restaurant is the hype resto in Bandung early 80s.The place used to be crowded and we waited to be seated. 

One weekend, we had our big family dinner there as we need a nice and quiet place.  And yes, the place remains.

I ordered their famous chicken cream soup and tenderloin steak.  The soup was thick not heavy and the chicken broth was delicious.   Rich and blended perfectly with the parsley..nothing is too much.

The steak was more surprising.  I was first expecting to have a medium quality compared to the price. Its quite thick but when you cut, it's soft, delicate and well-grilled.  Hmm....I think this grilling and cooking expertise could only be obtained after years and years in the restaurant industry. The barbecue sauce was perfect.  You could smell the smokiness inside.  I thought I will find tomato or any sour taste but you won't.  Yum yum!



Lunch Box Makeover

I was joining my bestie to prepare kids menu.  Like i said, I'd been caught in a hectic office days, no chance to look for fancy box and my home assistants started all the preparation including buying the lunch box nearby.

I hate to see a dull looking box, I decided to do a little tiny makeover with crepe papers and calendar printable..not bad lah?

Fuschia?

Thai Food

Thai authentic food is heaven and an endless discussion...Yummy shrimp tomyam, mango sticky rice, you name it! I know I know...this was not the best angle as it's shot at my business dinner in Bangkok where I supposed to chat with others....but look, don't you agree with me?

Museum Nasional

Finally...finally..managed to go to Museum Nasional on weekend.

The place is spacious with treasure collections all over the place.  One thing, travelling with two siblings who actively running errands while enjoying the window displays of ancient ceramics could be a nightmare.  But luckily, the center yard was a saviour playground! Pheww..

On our way home, the kiddos kissed us big thanks for taking them to the museum and they wanna come back someday....cute!

Lampion

My weekender project, pulling out the lampion collections.

The big ones was Bali handmade I bought last year.  I love the color combo though i am not sure where I should put this as decorator..

The small ones, the little little ones..I bought in Bangkok on my short visit last week.  It's funny to see how design could travel through time and similarity between countries!

Refreshing Orange

First I need to find the fridge like this and second I urge my handyman to paint like this! Bright Bazaar

 

Art on a Cupcake

My true confession...I never buy cupcake for birthday cake...first, it is too cute to eat and second its like eating only sugar and sugar....on top of that, to see cupcake like this, don't you think it's like crashing a piece of art? You need to appreciate food!
