Best Dessert Ever



Hong Tang is a taiwanese restaurant specializing in Sweet Asian Desserts. Many traditional taiwanese desserts are served here like douhua, grass jelly ice, crushed ice, and many more.

I love taiwanese dessert and it makes me so interested to try this Hong Tang. I decided to pay a visit to Hong Tang that recently was opened in Central Park
When I visited Hong Tang the first time, i feel this place is a little bit small. The room’s not cool at all although the air-con is turned on and there is a few people eating here (on weekdays, It’s so crowded and the queue is very long on weekends). There are 2 dining spot you can choose, inside and outside. I chose eating inside because it’s quiet hot outside.
I was so confused ordering the dessert, so I asked the waiter for advising the recommended ones. So I decided to order a bowl of grass jelly with matcha ice cream and a bowl of grass jelly with pudding ( I love grass jelly ^.^).

No. 28
This is No.28 with grass jelly, q ball, pea, and ice cream. You can choose the flavor of the ice cream ( The flavor available are strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, matcha, and ogura ). The ice is located in the bottom of the bowl, so before eating, we should stir them to be mixed. It is the best dessert I’ve ever taste.The sweetness is just perfect and very suitable for those who don’t like sweets. The milk makes the flavor savory and distinct from other grass jelly dessert. The portion is also big, so you can enjoy a bowl of this heavenly dessert with your beloved ones.

No. 23
The second dessert is No. 23   with pudding, grass jelly, q ball, and mocchi. It’s not much different from No. 28 except the pudding and mocchi. I love this dessert, but prefer No.28 somehow. The matcha ice cream somehow goes perfectly with the grass jelly better than pudding. But, overall they are all very delicious and I would definitely visit Hong Tang again for another dessert.

Indoor

Outdoor

This place is well known for its tasty pancake, so i ordered a plate of blueberry Cream Cheese Roll. It's so heavenly delicious, not too sweet and perfect in my mouth. I love the warmth of the pancake combining with the chill of the ice cream in my mouth. The blueberry gives unique texture and the cream cheese is absolutely delicious. I can't get enough !!! 
Score 10/10


That's for the appetizer. Moving to the main course, because of i am having a diet program, i decided to order something low carbs, so i choose to order a chicken steak. It's a big platter of chicken steak accompanied by condiments, corn, herbs and french fries. Overall, the chicken steak is a little bit flat although i had added condiments onto it. The french fries is good, not too salty and not too crunchy. I love the herbs mixed with the condiments and cheddar cheese (for information, you can ask for extra cheese for free). The corn is good, but i find it difficult to eat the corn with knife and fork. I prefer them to make the corn into small kernels so it is easy to be eaten.
Score 8/10
The next dishes is baked rice. It's basically a bowl of rice baked with roasted chicken and melted cheese. It was a stunning dish, like a mixture of Indonesian food with Italian food. The rice is perfectly cooked, not too shabby. I love the roasted chicken flavor, it's crispy outside but so juicy inside. Moreover, the chicken has very low fat, makes my diet program keeps on track. Overall, it's recommended to taste this very dish if you guys love to eat rice dishes.
Score 9/10

Last but not least dish is Tuna Spaghetti. It's actually kinda spicy and a very decent spaghetti. The noodle is cooked perfectly and the tuna shreds are plenty enough. It's recommended to add some cheese to enhance the flavor.Overall, it's pretty decent dish and the portion is so small.
Score 7.5/10
That's all about Nanny Pavillon Central Park. Hopefully it's helpful. Thanks for your attention.

Fried Rice with Chili Pepper


Hello guys.. Today is Saturday and I’m not feeling well to go hunting some food, so I’m going to make Fried Rice for my brunch.

I was so hungry after waking up in the morning, so I checked some groceries in my refrigeration, and I found 3 pieces of chili pepper which I bought in Pasar Kopro (Tanjung Dure Raya Street) @10000 IDR each. Because it’s going to be rotten, I decided to cook something with this chili pepper.

So I decided to cook fried rice for my brunch because it’s simple and not wasting too much time. I learn this recipe from my mother which I improvise with adding some peppers (Because I like spicy food). Here it is my delicious fried rice recipe.

Here is the Ingredients I used to cook Fried Rice
Cabbage
Cooking Oil
Fresh Shrimp
Eggs
Leeks
Chili Pepper
Rice

Minced Garlic
Chili
 The first step to cook the fried rice is heating the frying pan with oil poured all over the pan
After that, add the eggs and stir until the egg cooked. After that put the eggs aside and add fresh shrimp

Cooked the shrimp until it's getting reddish like this
After that put them aside and saute the minced garlic until it's turning golden brown and smells good
After that, add the vegetables and pepper inside and stir properly
Stirred the vegetables until it's half cooked. Don't forget to add seasoning like salt or MSG as much as you want.

After that, add rice into the pan and stir properly

Add ketchup sauce and pepper powder as you wish and stirred properly
The dish is finished and served onto the plate.
Here it is
After tasting the fried rice, i realize that it's way too spicy.. But it's okay because overall is okay and I'm gonna cook this dish again..
That's all for my brunch today. I hope you enjoy it. Stay tune!!!

My Very first Post😊 Bday Party at Sun City Restaurant



Hello guys, in this occasion I am so happy to tell you that I am starting writing a blog. I am so green and new in this field, so I hope you guys can help me improving this blog by commenting this blog (about advice or critics, that’s okay).


And I am also so grateful that you guys visiting my very first blog http://ilovetreatsnsnack.blogspot.com/ . I’ll provide review about restaurant or food that I have and share it with you guys.  I hope we can explore more about delicacy all around the world, especially Indonesian. 

The very first entry of this blog is my review of Sun City - Chinese Dim Sum Restaurant Family Gathering . It’s a five-star restaurant located in Lindeteves Trade Centre, 5th Floor Jl. Hayam Wuruk no. 127, Jakarta Barat, 11180. 



It’s a very high class restaurant and the foods is very expensive. It’s always crowded and has a long queue in lunch time and weekends. I rarely visit this restaurant. But, because of my grandma having her birthday party here, I can enjoy this delicious chinese food here. LOL.

 

The Restaurant serves varieties of high class chinese cuisine, starting from abalone to Hisit soup. The table is very large and round, can accommodate up to 10 people. When I and my family sat, the waiter immediately served some appetizer (or snack maybe? I’m not so sure what is it) It is a cheese stick with alluimnium foil in the glass.


Cheese Stick

I love this cheese stick. It’s very crispy and a little bit salty but cheesy, but overall it’s very good. This cheese stick is the best choice for children because they love it. My niece who is a toddler is addicted to this cheese stick and kept eating this cheese stick till the end of the party. And the aluminium foil makes my hand remain clean while eating the cheese stick by hand.


After the cheese stick, I was served a Hisit (Shark Fin) Soup.
Shark Fin Soup

The soup was served in a hot bowl, so that the soup remains hot. The flavor is just salty, but It’s advised to add some garlic, pepper, or chili to enhance the flavor. It’s not just delicious but also is very healthy. It’s said that sharks’ fin can keep your metabolism in good pace and make your skin and eyes in good condition.



Next one, the waiters served the next dish, 4 Combination.

 
4 Combinations

It’s the best dish of the night (I think?). 4 Combinations contain of big platter with 4 dishes within. There are jellyfish, roasted peking duck, sliced pork, and sliced meat. I love the jelly fish the most, because it’s so refreshing and it’s like washing my mouth clean and giving my mouth some coolness. The jellyfish is a little bit spicy and sour, but I recommended you guys to try this one. The peking duck and pork are pretty good, but have decent flavor like other chinese restaurants.


Next dish is fried shrimp. The restaurant make the fried shrimp so adorable by its presentation. Look!!!

Fried Shrimp with Fruit

The fried shrimp is deep fried with very thin flour and is stirred by chili so it gives spiciness to the shrimp. There are some sprinkle of crispiness (I don’t know what it is) but it’s very tasty and worth trying. The watermelon and melon (beneath the shrimp) make my throat clear after eating fried shrimp (I will have sore throat after eating frying).


Next dish is chicken. It’s not an ordinary chicken. My uncle said that the chicken is from Australia (Australian chicken). I don’t know what the difference is, but it’s much smaller from ordinary chicken. The chicken dish contains two type of chicken, fried one and roasted ones. The fried is salty and the roasted is sweet. I prefer fried one because I love the crispiness. The chicken is well cooked and juicy inside. Overall, it’s worth trying.
Chicken Dish

I actually a little bit full after eating this whole dishes, but the next dish is very tempting. It’s abalone with sea cucumber.

Abalone with Sea Cucumber

It’s very delicious and the price is insanely not affordable (for me hahaha -.-).  I love the abalone, it’s very tender and the sauce is very good. Haisom (Sea cucumber) is like a jelly but with very interesting flavor, makes me want to have more and more. It’s said that this dish is very good for your health because it contains many nutritious ingredients, vitamin and mineral to make your blood clean and enrich your skin. So if you want to have porcelain-like skin, eat this dish as many as possible (hahhhaaa ^_^).


Last but not least dish is Coconut ice pudding. It’s the best dessert I ever had. The pudding is not very sweet and it’s perfect for me. When I eat the first bite, I can feel the tenderness and the coolness of the pudding inside my mouth. The coconut in the coconut shell makes the pudding perfect. It’s very addicting and I would have this one next time I visit Sun City. It’s the sweetest farewell from Sun City for me.

Coconut Ice Pudding

That’s all the dishes I had that night in Sun City Restaurant. Overall, they serve very good and tasty food, the service is also pretty good, although I think the price is ridiculous, but It’s worth with good foods and services they have. That’s all for today, Keep following my journey in tasting another delicious Food (^.^).
