From Gelato to Ponzu (Food and Hotel Indonesia 2011)

I LOVE CULINARY WORLD!! I think I would never ever hate this world hahahahaha....well bebera minggu lalu (gak sempet ngepost T__T)  ada pameran makanan dan hotel di Jakarta, yang selalu di adakan setiap dua tahun sekali ganti2an sama Bali. Sebenernya uda lama banget ingin ikut liat ini pameran sejak jamannya masih kuliah, tapi selalu ga punya waktu untuk datang karna biasanya Sabtu adalah hari terakhir pameran. Sedangkan aku nge kos di Karawaci :( tapi akhirnya kesempatan itu tiba!!! selain bisa daftar via online selama waktu tertentu for free, aku juga dapet free pass dari invitation yg mereka kirim ke kantor yeay!! well alhasil datang kesana dua kali hehehehehehe.

Pameran yang diadakan di Hall D dan A ini benar2 bikin perut kenyang, hati senang tp kaki mau putus hahahahaha. Para visitor yang datang pun juga rame banget, apalagi ketika hari terakhir tiba.... tiba-tiba saja ini exhibition kayak pasar lol. Stand yang ngasih daging steak or bbq gratis untuk diicip adalah stand yang paling ramai dan paling rusuh! hahahaha

Hari pertama datang benar2 seru! selain banyak banget yg di icip2, para exhibitornya juga masih pada full power! lol sebenarnya datang ke pameran ini karna sekalian harus interview seorang chef untuk artikel penulisan aku, tapi sekaliang jalan2 donk hihihihi..... well saat memasuki pameran ini aku dan seorang teman kantor bingung, enaknya kita mulai dari mana ya supaya ga ada satu stand pun yang terlewatkan. Akhirnya kita benar2 mulai dari paling ujung hall D wuihhh langsung aja disambut dengan peralatan masak seperti pisau2 chef yang keren *uda ngeces pingin beli* trus tak lama kemudian ada GELATO!!! oh yes! hehehehe tp karna banyak yang berdiri di depan etalase itu ice cream dan si chef bule sedang komat kamit nerangin produk akhirnya kita nyobain yang lain....kue seperti muffin rasanya sih so so lah :p

Setelah itu kita lanjut lagi memasuki gang demi gang dan stand demi stand. Abis makan satu jenis haus tinggal ngambil minuman yang ditawarkan oleh para penjaga standnya. Ada beberapa stand yang seru untuk dikunjungi karna selain produknya cukup unik, rasa makanan atau minumannya pun menggugah selera. Aku lupa namanya stand apa tp dia menjual berbagai macam jenis minuman teh dari Taiwan, sempet nyobain almond tea yang rasanya manis dan gurih susu tapi esens almondnya yg khas aku ga suka.....
Tapi setelah nya nyobain yg rasa taro,nah ini enak banget gurih dan milky banget!! taronya aja uda enak ditambah santan dalam bahan baku tersebut bikin tambah yummy! rasa matcha dan maple nya juga enak lho! waktu hari terakhir dateng bareng 2 sahabat dan nyokap kita beli yg taro, ,matcha dan maple trus kita tuker2an deh hihihihi biar pada nyobain.

Selain itu ada wine ice cream, bagi yang suka wine ice cream ini pasti jadi favorite! produk dari Amerika ini juga salah satu stand yang cukup "diincar" oleh para pengunjung. Rasa ice creamnya pun macam2 ada yang raspberry, chocolate,orange, vanilla dan lain-lain, dicampur dengan beberapa jenis wine baik itu red wine maupun white wine seperti port, chardonnay hmmmm enakkkk! Beralih ke beberapa stand menarik seperti stand makanan Jepang yang menjual berbagai macam jenis bumbu-bumbu Jepang nah saat disini lah uang keluar cukup banyak, selain harganya juga lebih murah dari pasaran, banyak jenis yang mungkin agak sulit untuk didapatkan di supermarket. Akhinya aku beli bumbu teriyaki untuk numis2 seru dan ponzu ( saus berwarna coklat dengan campuran jeruk- rasanya asam, gurih dan sedikit manis) soalnya paling suka makan horenzo *bayam Jepang* dengan ponzu.

Setelah selesai belanja bumbu-bumbu Jepang, beralihlah ke cemilan2 seperti mousse chocolate tapi aku rasa itu ingin mengambil konsep black forest mousse soalnya ada cherry nya didalam heheheh ya maybe serupa tak sama. Ada danish pastry yang masih hangat dan menggugah selera dengan bagian atasnya mengkilap,apalagi aroma butter yang hmm....bikin lupa diri!! si chef bule nya hanya senyum2 ngeliat kita makan penuh napsu dan ga tau malu hehehehehe.... Sempat mampir juga kita ke aneka aksesoris dan bahan-bahan kue yang bikin iri dan pingin di beli semua!!! oh tidak!! apalagi yang jual masih muda dan ganteng *ehem!!!* >.<

Ginger beer salah satu minuman favorit ku rasanya manis sedikit pedas dan tak ketinggalan bersoda hehehehe. Di pameran ini minuman seperti Ginger beer dan soda dengan rasa buah2an dari Esprit di jual murah, biasanya sekitar 16,000 - 18,000 rupiah, disana di jual dengan harga 12,000-an :D yeay!! love it! bargain!!!
Aku beli rasa raspberry untuk Espritnya :D hmm....jadi ketagihan deh minum ginian hehehehe

Dilahirkan Kembali

Kalau kata orang waktu itu lari menurut saya waktu itu seperti terbang. Rasanya waktu satu tahun itu cepet banget! dan selama satu tahun itu pula, banyak kejadian-kejadian seru yang dapat mengubah kehidupan kita. Selama satu tahun ini saya belajar banyak sekali hal-hal yang selama ini tidak pernah saya tahu. Misalnya saja setelah saya bekerja di majalah dan sebagai food stylish dan food writer, saya baru benar-benar menyadari bahwa dunia kuline itu sangat luas dan tak kalah hebat dan tak kalah inovasinya dengan teknolodi (bukan selama ini saya ga tau sama sekali lho (^___^)) hanya saja mata saya lebih terbuka lebar. Pengalaman bertemu dengan banyak orang yang expert di bidangnya membuat saya terkagum-kagum, dan jujur i feel nothing. Tapi ga boleh murung lama-lama donk hehehehe harus cepat bangkit dan justru orang-orang hebat yang saya kenal dan yang pernah saya temui memberikan banyak inspirasi tak ternilai.

OVERSEAS
Beberapa kerabat dan sahabat saya tinggal di luar negeri, beberapa berada di asia seperti Jepang dan beberapa lagi di negara-negara barat seperti Australia dan Amerika. Sudah impian sejak kecil ingin sekali tinggal dan bekerja di luar, tetapi sampai sekarang kesempatan itu belum tiba.....ada rasa sedih melihat yang lain sudah melompat sangat tinggi sedangkan saya masih saja duduk manis disini, sedihnya :(
Tetapi lebih dari itu justru saya sedang mempersiapkan banyak hal untuk bisa menyusul mereka suatu saat dan satu hal yang pasti saya sedang menyiapkan dan membuat impian dan tujuan hidup saya menjadi nyata :)

Saya memulai pertengahan tahun ini dengan perbuatan nekat yang mungkin orang bilang "GILA", hahahahah ga pa2 sih klo di bilang gitu well yang penting kita tahu apa yang ingin kita lakukan untuk suatu tujuan bukan? lol. Well bulan mei akan menjadi sebuah bulan bersejerah dimana saya resmi kembali sebagai pengangguran dan mencoba untuk keluar dari kepompong dan menjabat sebagai seorang entrepreneur hahahahahahaha. mudah-mudahan segalanya berjalan dengan baik meski saya tahu akan ada banyak halangan dan kesulitan2 di depan nanti...... but I believe God beside me :D

Walking Book

Hmm...rasa-rasanya saya perlu merombak seluruh konsep blog ini lol....mau diganti dalam bahasa Indonesia aja sepertinya.... bukan karena menyerah menggunakan bahasa inggris. Tapi saya terinspirasi dengan beberapa blog yang tetap bisa menulis indah dengan kesederhanaan bahasa ini dan tetap enak di baca. Mungkin sudah saatnya untuk belajar mencoba agar benar-benar memperlakukan blog ini seperti rumah tanpa perlu takut apapun :D
?
Selain itu rasanya ingin mengganti nama blog ini juga Walking Book nama yang saya pilih untuk renew blog ini, ada banyak makna dan harapan dalam judul itu. Menandakan sebuah perjalanan, sebuah pengalaman, sebuah catata sejarah dalam kehidupan, sebuah pertemuan dengan orang-orang baru dan para sahabat. Lebih dari pada itu Walking Book adalah sebuah transformasi kehidupan yang berjalan dan berpacu dengan waktu, kapan saja dan dimana saja. Jadi mudah-mudahan rasa malas dan bingung bisa terhapuskan dengan adanya perubahan ini hehehehehehe

By the way I changed the link too from magicnsparkle.blogspot to sasakijournal.blogspot.com :D

NeYer New Life: Let's To Be Different

AHA!! It's already the second month from our new year 2011! time is running baby.... well I will fulfill this year with spirit to be different....I'm trying to be humble but I just can't stop my finger to type about a fact "I'm Out Of The Box Person" all right...don't f****ing me about that sentence because it's true *my nose is going up and up!* but in fact my boss and some of my collages said like that to me and honestly I'm so proud about that. I never tried to be different actually or think like no one..but Mr.Lopy *a snail inside my skull* can't be quite to give me strange or weird opinions about anything.

Anyway I have some plan for my self this year to make me be a better person, to make my family, friends and environment be better :) * gosh feel like a super hero* I hope!soon! I will have my own treasure box :) which is full of love, ideas, arts, crafting and story....I will drag people's attention to look at my treasure box hihihihihi well maybe you will say it's too much, too ambitious bla and bla....but I just know I have a lot of magic dust in my pocket ;P and I know God beside me XD

I'm trying to make people understand about them self....and only them can make a change... *starting with the man in the mirror-----by: Michael Jackson*

Honestly I miss my boys and girls....they are waiting to be written and introduce them self to the world.

Aftertaste Of Harry Potter

Hogwarts Hogwarts Hoggy Warty Hogwarts
Teach us something please
Whether we be old and bald or young with scabby knees
Our heads could do with filling with some interesting stuff
For now they're bare and full of air
Dead flies and bits of fluff
So teach us things worth knowing
Bring back what we've forgot
Just do your best we'll do the rest and learn until our brains all rot


Actually I have written about this article 2 weeks ago but I haven't published...well because I have watched Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallow today so I have to edit all of this article which is the title was "Excited About Harry Potter" lol
I watched HPDH with Indo Harry Potter ( The community for Harry Potter fans in Indonesia)...I always watch with them, every time Harry Potter movies are played in cinema. In Indonesia Harry Potter fans also love to cosplay and pretend to be like one of Harry Potter's character. Before the movie was played they had some games or trivia...like today they had 7 potters game and it was so funny!!

Well after all the games and trivia had been done, the movie was played and everybody was getting excited :)) and my heart was beating so hard wkwkwkwkwkw....overall the movie is really cool! I can feel all the emotional from every character...and when Dobby was killed by Bellatrix I cried!! gosh....
The unforgettable moment for me is when 7 Potters' scene. Harry wore the BRA!!! lmao!! I can't stop laughing! even now when I'm writing about this....I remember that scene...*take a bow for Dan!* he's really professional!

After so much fun today I went home, but I feel something pain and sad.....and I know what it is...it's because I know the fact that Harry Potter series will over soon and it will be next year on July. I still can't believe it...I really scare..I live 10 years and grown up with Harry Potter's world... I live in JK.Rowling's writing and her story means a lot for me..honestly Harry Potter and JK.Rowling influence me so bad, because of her I decided to be a writer :) even I haven't published any books except one poems for Michael Jackson's book and I'm working in magazine as journalist, but I prefer to be called as writer hahahahahaha okay soon I will be the real one! *cross the fingers*

Like or not it will be happened...HP will be ended and hope I won't cry like a baby...*even I'm sure I will!* well...thanks for your writing Jo :) and I miss your writing so badly and I will miss Harry Potter things start next year...

NOX!

RIP Our Dear Friend

Actually I wanna write about how excited I am about the last Harry Potter movie...but I just got a message my friend just passed away this morning....I don't really know too much  or close with him. I just knew him.  We were in different class, but in some subjects  we had to join the class together. Well...as I remember he was a tall and quite big guy with sense of humor.
It's so sad when you can see his words on facebook, sms or can hear his voice on phone...now absolutely gone....but just keep the beautiful memories about him and we will always remember him as good as he was. :)
Who ever he was, he's still a part of my life, our life......I'm sure he even didn't know my name..anyway...good bye dear friend...rest in peace...I pray for your soul and may God forgives and keep you.

Dare to Be Different

I don't even know...if I have sense of art or not, because when I enrolled for design major in a university they rejected me :). Maybe I was not good enough..... but I just can't lie to myself if I love design and arts. For me writing is a part of art, I love to make and create something. One thing made me happy when someday my boss said to me " you're eccentric!" hahahahah well, maybe not all of you like to be called like that, but for me it's really cool because people see and feel me with extraordinary thoughts!! lol *when you read this..maybe you'll say "oh yeah..you're so freak!"* But like what Kurt Cobain said " I'd rather for who I am than loved for who I am not."

I realized why grown ups mostly forget what they dreams and passed their life with regrets, when you're working for something not really you.... actually you have been training to accept the ordinary life. yeah..the reason is always same in many centuries, money. But why we can't give our self a chance to be different.... ;P I'm still trying and  I always remind myself to not be like "nous= them!" hihihihi
I hope I can be more creative and not easy to give up...life is really hard but still have a beautiful rainbow. I really need to be strong and tough but still have an honest heart :)) and more than anything still humble XD

Halloween Surprised

As Indonesian we really seldom to celebrate Halloween as a big event, especially when I was a child. Well... because I always excited about festival or events, I tried to make a little surprise for my friend in the office. So the idea is about little spooky with humor sense, and finally I made little coffins for them and the Dead's fingers, it was so much fun!! especially when I put them on their table....I really enjoyed watch every reactions on their face lol. Actually I wanted to make more snacks like blood candies and jelly eyes balls....but I didn't have much time to make them.....well enjoy the photos and TRICK OR TREAT----------------> sorry fellas it's too late.
Single Coffin ala MOI! ^^
Inside the coffin is mummy doll, dead's finger cookies, spooky candies.*who wants to buy just let me know*
 yeah! the delicious Dead's Finger XD everybody love them!!


Now it's time for me to think what I will do for Christmas......maybe I will try to make water globe with my picture inside hahahahaha!! I just really love do something with my fingers...that's why I love typing a lot lmao!!!

Say IT!

Well...write for our job and for pleasure has a big gap! I just realized when I work for magazine...both of them are really fun :) but when write for our job we got so much pressure. I miss the moment when I write poems or novels....where I can share and reflection about life, nature and human being.

But since I'm working as journalist I found a new and exciting thing...Photography :) it's really fun and when I got a good photo or moment which is I captured, I feel so happy.

Honestly I'm on dilemma situation....I have a lot of ideas and I don't know how to express them... I just feel I'm not satisfied with this condition, I want more.....okay let say it's an ambition XD lol

Treasure From Grand's House

I always love oldies things like vintage radio,money, clothes, or camera, books and letters with foxing in everywhere. I love them because they have their own memory, how they were made from the creator and author. A few weeks ago I went to my grand's house with one big pleasure, I could find something unpredictable and YES! I found old radio and camera  from 1950's. And I will search the vintage clock from my grand's house later. 

This is my treasure radio :) but I've not taken the camera one...maybe later XD
