King Mango Thai


Finally, I tried the hype King Mango Thai drink at Neo Soho Central Park, West Jakarta. It took me about 35 minutes to stand in queue. I heard that in the first months of opening, people would queue for 2 to 3 hours and  could only buy 3 cups per person.
While standing in the queue, I was observing how slow and inefficient the workers were preparing the drinks, even handing the drinks to the customers. I am not so sure whether they were already too tired or that is their way of preparing. For the inefficiency, I think they should implement the Kaizen methodology in preparing the juice so the customers don't have to wait and queue so long.

The King Mango Thai has 4 layers :
1. The bottom is the real Mango juice
2. Whipped Cream
3. Mango syrup shaved ice
4. Mango chunks.

It was over sweet for me especially the mango syrup shaved ice.  I could feel the sugar rush after I finished drinking it.

Qatar Airways Meal

For my trip to Germany, I flew with Qatar Airways. Here are the meals that I had during my flights (Jakarta - Qatar - Berlin, Frankfurt - Qatar - Jakarta).
BRUNCH
Appetiser: Seasonal fresh fruit
Main: Mushroom and leek fritata with grilled chicken sausage
Dessert: fruit yogurt  

MAIN MEALS 
Appetiser: Seasonal salad
Main: Steamed fish fillet with ginger and soy bean sauce
carrot, green beans and jasmine rice.

Appetiser: Seasonal salad
Main: Slow cooked lamb in an apricot sauce
herb mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
Dessert: Summer berry pudding.

Appetizer: Muffin
Main: Chicken sausage 
fried potato
Dessert: fruit yogurt  
The fried potatoes were warm at the outside, cold at the inside and very dry,. 
It was hard to swallow.

Appetizer: red cabbage and apple coleslaw.
Main:Braised beef  in green peppercorn sauce
potato gratin and roasted vegetables
Dessert: Sticky toffee pudding.

From all the Qatar meal that I had, this main meal tasted very bad.
The braised beef was very salty and dry. It seemed that it had been pre-heated several times. The potato gratin was also salty and dry. The sticky toffee pudding was too sweet. The red cabbage and apple coleslaw was the only thing eatable.

Appetizer: Seasonal salad
Main: Gulf style chicken Biryani
tomato sauce and fried onion.
Dessert: Summer berry pudding.

This "2048" game is a very addictive game. Seriously!
