Tony Roma's Rib - Seafood - Steak

I had dinner with friends at Tony Roma's restaurant.

The location:
Jln Jend Sudirman, Kav 11 Ground Floor, Panin Bank Centre, Jakarta.

We started with Bread and Onion Loaf (Rp. 55.000) as appetizer then followed with the Original Baby Backs for our main course (Rp. 195.000 - regular slab). All food subjects to government tax and service charge.


The food was in a big portion and absolutely delicious.. We all got so stuffed... no rooms at all for dessert.

Emping

A few months ago, I've promised to Pink Cotton that I'll blog about Emping which is an Indonesian chip/snack. For you who have never tried emping before, you will find the first taste might be a little bit bitter but after you eat some of it, you just couldn't stop to eat it :)

Emping is made from MALINJO, BLINJO, or BELINJO (Gnetum ganemon) nut.

Making emping:

Heat melinjo with sand
then flatten with crusher
dry in the sun
Fry the crackers and...
put them in a bag for sale :)

The sweet and hot emping is good for snacks and for the plain emping it would be delicious to be served on some food like Soto or Gado-gado.

Tut tut alias Escargot

I just came back from Bandung (capital of West Java). It took about 2 hours from Jakarta with the new highway (in the old days, usually it took 3.5 - 4 hours).

Tomorrow, I will blog more about the story of my trip to Bandung in "My Days" blog, so if any of you are interested to read it, just check it out there.

Anyway, during dinner tonight at a Sundanese restaurant, I had Tut tut, which is Indonesian escargot.

It was fun eating Tut Tut :)
