Surviving Jakarta 101: Gastronomy, part 2.

I hate losing cables. I really do. I have lost two USB cables for my iPod and two others for my Blackberry. And to fuel my anger to myself, I lost my USB cable for my camera.

However, I'm pretty glad that this cute little laptop of mine has a SD driver reader. Awesome.
And voila, I don't need any USB cable to move this food porn from my mom's pocket camera.
...and when will I have my own camera?

Yes, these pictures are indeed food porn.
As I'm kinda afraid of Wikiality, I tried to find the definition of food porn from Urban Dictionary - which is not better from Wiki, but heck yeah, who cares?

Food porn is a close-up image of juicy, delicious food in advertisement. - Urban Dictionary

Anyway, since I'm not very good at taking pictures, I kinda have to apologize to you for its quality.
Y'kno, I'm not so good with artistic stuffs...well besides piano.
Do I have to tell you that I rarely get scores higher than 70 for my drawing classes in elementary school? Nope? Exactly. I just told you that.

So, yeah. Here's Surviving Jakarta 101: Gastronomy...part 2.



This is lamien...basically, it's just a handmade noodle. Yeah, pretty cool. You can see how the chef make this delicious stuff from flour and egg. Yep, Asian for lyfe.

Next. This is...Soto Lamongan, I guess. I dunno, I'm not really good with stuffs like this.
It tastes good, only in great restaurants. Don't expect every restaurants to have great Soto. It may look like food porn, but this picture is pretty deceiving. I don't like this Soto. For real.

This...is the amazing "Fried Shrimp...with Mayonnaise." It tastes so freaking good. You gotta try...or at least try making your own. Oh, and you kinda have to find this in Chinese food restaurants here. Dunno why.

This is something that westerners may not find appealing. It's some kind of veggies - I just completely unable to recall what veggies those are, and mushroom. Yep, mushroom. FREAKING GOOD. Oops, yeah I didn't really have to write those in capitals...but oh this is my blog.I can do whatever I want. *insert evil laugh here*

And now, for the main thing.
I won't give you explanations. I'm lazy...and they're dimsums.

those were shrimps. They were alive. for real. They're freakin expensive.

So...they cooked the shrimps with 'arak'...or 'ciu'...well...it's basically a type of alcoholic beverage.

DUCK. PEKING DUCK.

inedible. don't try.

She's inedible...eh hey, she's cute rite? you better say yes.
