Ada banyak alasan orang untuk nge-blog. Ada yang nge-blog karena ingin mencurahkan pikiran dan perasaannya secara lebih detail, yang mungkin tidak mudah dia ungkapkan dengan kalimat verbal. Kalau saya?

Alasan utama saya nulis post kedua saya di tahun ini ialah karena saya habis menangis di jam sebelas malam dan saya ga mau langsung tidur. Bagi kalian yang belum pernah nangis dan langsung tidur, mungkin tidak tahu efek "mata bengkak di pagi hari". Agak sulit ditutupi dengan make up dan teman-temannya. Yang ada ialah mata sembab seperti digebukin.

Jika ditanya kenapa saya menangis, yah... sepertinya once a while menangis itu diperlukan. Ga menjawab pertanyaan sih. Tapi, again, saya percaya kalau sesekali, menangis itu diperlukan. Perasaan lebih lega setelah keluar air mata. Walaupun permasalahan tidak selesai sih *nyengir kuda*

Kalau ada masalah dan menangis, biasa saya bisa ikutan merefleksi hidup selama ini juga. Banyak hal yang sepertinya perlu diperbaiki dari diri sendiri. Banyak janji ke diri sendiri yang belum ditepati (seperti ngeblog sebulan minimal empat kali). Mungkin dengan air mata dan refleksi diri kita justru jadi tergerak untuk melakukan langkah-langkah pasti. Semoga dengan ini air mata yang keluar ga sia-sia, dan ada hasilnya, seenggaknya ada satu post tambahan di blog ini :)

Hello 2014~!

It’s been a while since my last blog post. Where could I’ve possibly been? Well, I’ve been away and preoccupied with few things *cuwih*

So here’s my resolution this year – remembering that the year of the wooden horse has just began: I will write at least 4 (four) posts each month. How’s that?

Hopefully I can keep up with my resolution :p

So this is my first post for February :D

Cheers,

Yummy for Tummy: Fook Yew

Have you been to Shanghai? If you've been there before, perhaps you can tell me whether this Shanghai inspired restaurant is as good as the real Shanghai food.

Me? Nope I've never been to Shanghai before. So I have no idea on what Shanghai food tastes like. So when I first saw Fook Yew at Gandaria City, I have no expectation or comparison about things that I'm about to eat and order. I just asked the waitress on their most recommended items, and the word "sheng jian" came out of the waitress' mouth. Okay! I believe you, fuwuyuan!

According to the magical Wikipedia, sheng jian is  "a type of small, pan-fried baozi (steamed buns) which is a specialty of Shanghai. It is usually filled with pork and gelatin that melts into soup/liquid when cooked."

Of course in this restaurant you won't find the pork-y one. hahaha. 

clockwise: baked tomato rice, colorful dumplings, sheng jian, fish with rice krispy

As for the beverages, I was interested with the alcoholic bubble tea. For this one I'm not sure that they sell it on the streets of Shanghai. They named the bubble tea with unique names such as "the shiny rat", "the dancing pig", or "the gummy rooster". The alcoholic beverages was named after the twelve Chinese zodiac.

The restaurant's design. So cute! 

Overall the restaurant design is really cute, and the menu are designed attractively. You would want to order all of them if you had unlimited money and space in your tummy. As for the food taste, I think the food tasted 'just okay' :) But hey.. You need to taste it for yourself before you can make a judgement, don't ya?

Sipping my alcoholic bubble tea *CHEERS!*,
