Nagomi @ Hartamas Shopping Centre

The good old gang gathered recently for a birthday celebration at Nagomi in Hartamas Shopping Centre. Both SL and I arrived early and the restaurant was pretty quiet and this gave me some time to take photos (using JC's camera which I borrowed - had forgot to bring my camera!) of the place.

Nagomi specializes in Shabu-shabu and also has sashimi/sushi on its menu. The group of us all went for the Shabu-shabu sets, choosing the Nagomi signature broth (which I opted for) and the Chicken broth which is boiled with chicken bones for 4 hours! It comes with each shabu-shabu set order but if one chose to order an additional pot it's RM8/USD2.25 for it (there's spicy broth too).

Tripping Jakarta & Bandung - Part 2

In this Part 2 of my post, I'm posting some of the more interesting food that I had in Jakarta/Bandung during day 1 and 2 of my trip.

This dish was really tasty, from a Chinese meal we had for dinner at a place called Raja Kuring. It came with flames (you can still see some of the flames in the pic) and with the aluminium foil sitting on a bed of salt. It's Salted Chicken but unlike the ones which is baked back home here, the chicken was fried. Not very meaty but very flavourful!


Next, on the way to Bandung the next day - we made a stop at a rest area and I came across a snack stall. This Risol Rogut is somewhat like a deep fried breaded snack with some meat and vegetables inside. Pretty normal right? But what made me try this snack was because ...


they served it with chili padi, uncut! The chili was really really spicy hot and kicked it up a notch (or two or three) for this otherwise normal snack.

Tripping Jakarta & Bandung - Part 1

I went off for a short holiday in Jakarta & Bandung last 2 weeks and came back with a fever. I was recovering from cough before I left but came back with other viruses ;o). Thank goodness I'm much better now (though not fully well) and almost back to normal "programming"! A short 1st part from me...

Prior to me going onto this trip, the lot of us were forewarned to abstain from consuming too much of the chili paste that's usually served with the regular meals of Nasi Padang (the local version of rice with dishes - usually eaten with lots of curry gravy, for me that is). For one who loves spicy food, it was a bummer that I had to cut down on that. Plus no food adventure on the side for me! The first group that went suffered diarrhoea and now it's up to us whether we want to live life dangerously or "healthily"! Hahaha....

It was a shame really that I played it safe but I definitely didn't want to ruin my vacation by throwing caution to the wind.
