Handpresso Auto - Espresso Machine for Car

Such a weird TV Commercial of Handpresso, the Espresso Machine for Car.

And as usual, funny comments on YouTube :
"My car used to have a white interior, then I got the espresso."
"I ordered just 2 handpressos, just to make sure 1:04+ will happen"
"I love handpresso but i really hate the commercial, it's suck"
"Douche"
"Only Nespresso could turn this into a marketable machine."

La Creperie de Hampstead

Hampstead

On January, me (with my girlfriend & my sister) had a chance to visit one of my dream destination, the city of London. While we were there, we went to this town, Hampstead, cause our friend told us to try the famous Crepe there. A little bit hard to find, since the crepe place is just a little kiosk / stand.


But don't judge a book by its cover. Almost everybody on the town knows this famous little crepe stand. For your information, this little crepe stand is actually have been in the business for over than 30 years. The reason? yeah the information of how great their crepe is no bullshit. It was by far, one of the best crepe i have ever tasted (the crepe suzette). The crepes speaks for itself, the queuing never ends.

So if you are in London, don't forget to stop by at Hampstead area, and stop over this amazing crepe stand, La Creperie de Hampstead. Just ask around, they will lead you to the kiosk.

Thank you Bianca for recommended the place!

Tiramisu Affogato at Go!Curry Jakarta

If you thought that Go Curry (Pacific Place & Cilandak Town Square) is all about Curry, then you are wrong. Alongside their delicious curry and nan pizza selections, they also offer some tempting desserts. One of them is this Tiramisu Affogato. I'm always a big fan of Affogato, and i always love a good tiramisu. So to me, this one is pretty good. You can taste to bitterness from the coffee while still mixed with creamy tiramisu feel
