Spaghetti Carbonara vs Spaghetti Bolognese (Homeland Cafe and Eatery)

Hello guys, today I want to take you to my home town Probolinggo City. It located in East Java and near the amazing volcano Mt. Bromo. All my life living there, I always meet a lot of tourists from all over the world. So, if you ever want to come here in Probolinggo and missing a delicious good pasta you can visit Homeland Cafe and Eatery. The cafe is easy to spot because it is in the middle of the city. The last time my sister and I eat there, we enjoy it so much.  When we want to order the menu has a lot of variation. We both want spaghetti, so we choose to order it but with a different sauce. While my sister spaghetti bolognese I order spaghetti carbonara. For the drink my sister order her favorite Thai tea. I was hesitate for a while because actually I want to order Thai tea too, but at the end my choice is strawberry milkshake ^_^ For additional snack we order cheese boom. Hmmm look so yum! We love how they served the pasta. It definitely increase our appetite :) ...

Indomie Salted Egg Review

Hello guys, today I want to share a review about a famous Indonesian instant noodle, Indomie! Every Indonesian must at least try this brand once. Indomie is a very famous instant noodle in Indonesia. It becomes everyone favorite even when there are a lot of other brand. Its tagline "Indomie Seleraku" meaning "Indomie Suit My Taste" is really fitting because it have a taste that makes you want more. Actually I want to do this review since a long time ago, but it always better late than sorry >.< Indomie have a lot of flavour and some of it are featuring Indonesian traditional food or spices, for example Indomie mie Aceh (Aceh is the name of one province in Indonesia). Even though Indomie never stop doing innovation and always creating new flavor but my favorite is the original until they launch INDOMIE SALTED EGG falvour!!! It immediately change my favorite ^_^ Indomie salted egg flavor is more expensive than the original. It about IDR 4.500-5.000 wh...

I am lucky last year I spent a month doing a summer course program in National Taiwan University (NTU). This  is the NTU main gate. I will tell you my second day in NTU. In the morning we getting to know NTU in  a very interesting way. We do a scavenger hunt. First post we go to Fuming Hall building, it is a good building but it will be tear down soon because they want to build a brand new building there (sorry, no pics for the building). There also post that located in drunken moon lake. Before renovation drunken moon lake is in very bad condition because the water is heavily polluted. Now as you can see the scenery there so beautiful. After that we go to Gallery of NTU History. I like the anthropology museum. It has a lot of interesting object. We learn so much history of NTU. We also look at the miniature of NTU map that attach to the wall. It is so good. At the front of the gallery this nice lady is welcome us and she accompany us during the tou...

Mount Halimun Salak National Park (Curug Kondang)

Last holiday my friends and I were camping at Mount Halimun Salak National Park. Me, Camping! In the middle of nowhere with the tent, bonfire and all?! Of course not, hahaha.. Can you spot me? The picture may fool you, none of us was actually sleeping at the tent. We rented a villa (Betawi Villa) and leaving the tent outside. FYI there are a lot of villas to rent inside the national park. It really refreshing to be out there in nature and have clean air to breath. As a true tropical climate citizen who uses to hot weather the water was freezing cold for me. The air was refreshing though also to cold for my liking. There were a lot of trees and not so many lamps it  Yes, we did have fun hanging out here. It always nice to take time out of our daily routine and going somewhere with friends. The main attraction of this journey is that I can spend more time enjoying myself, met new friends, visiting the waterfall (Curug). There are a lot of small waterfalls here....

Hmmm I curious what the name in Korea, let me know in comment if you have te answer ^_^ Was it look yum??? It actually s...

Keraton Yogyakarta (Yogyakarta Palace)

A monarchy inside a democratic country? Could it happen? The answer is it  could be happen, in fact it is happening in Indonesia. At the past time before the independence day of Indonesia, this country consisted of a lot of small kingdom.

As Indonesian people I really proud of Yogyakarta. The region have a very thick cultural basic and the people stil honoring the tradition over the time. I will not talk more about this history, I will explore the good thing that came out of it instead. A palace where the King lives. This is the front door of keraton Yogyakarta.

My second time in Singapore was very brief. I only transit in Changi Airport for 12 hour but I determined to make the most of it. My friend Joshua recommend me to have a nice breakfast near Sultan Mosque. He knows I am muslim so he recommend restaurant that provided halal food. I had breakfast at Zam Zam restaurant, I order murtabak and eat with Sultan Mosque as my scenery and it was awesome!!! Actually Zam-Zam Restaurant is behind the mosque but the scenery is awesome and the murtabak is delicious. The best part of eating here is I don't need to worry whether or not the food is halal food because the owner is obviously muslim. I choose chicken murtabak and it had a big portion so it can be for 2-3 people.  I had breakfast and waiting Clara and Joshua. These two will take me to explore Singapore and playing tourist for the day and I will forever grateful for that because the best thing in experience traveling in someplace if you get to travel with local people.
