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."

Coca Cola x PLAY Comme des Garcons Concept

An interesting concept has surfaced this week. A prospective packaging design created by a Parsons design student, Ashley Shen, of a limited edition collaboration project between Coca Cola with one of Comme des Garcons's line, PLAY. There are no official word from both Coca Cola or Comme des Garcons PLAY (Do they even know about this design concept?) about whether this project will come true or not, but, just like everybody else, i also wish that this will come true in the near future.

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

Tin Pan Alley

Been here for a couple of times now, and i must say, since the first time i eat here, i instantly hooked right in. Located at Thamrin 9 Building (also known as the UOB Plaza), Tin Pan Alley is an authentic american bistro in Jakarta, serving wide varieties of bistro food which is inspired by American culinary traditions.





Tin Pan alley is know one of my favorite destination to eat. Many selections from sandwiches, steaks and pastas. They also offers several options of dessert and drinks. I will personally recommend you to order the Cajun Fries (A french fries, served with a special cajun sauce), Baked Mac N Cheese (one of the best mac n cheese in town in my opinion), and for the dessert, the apple crumble or the chocolate cake.

Three Seconds Bar at Epicentrum Walk, Kuningan, Jakarta

Went to Epicentrum Walk (Kuningan, Jakarta) last week, and found this interesting modern japanese shabu-shabu place there. The place named "Three Seconds Bar" (the name itself is taken from how many seconds it take to make a raw slice of meat into a cooked one in shabu-shabu).



The unique point of this place is that they serve pan for one person (so it is placed right in front of you), and you can mix your own shabu2 with selections of sauce, etc. so you can make it personal. With modern minimalist interior, this is one good place to eat a good shabu-shabu on the afternoon, or maybe for dinner.

For more information, you can go to their web, ThreeSecondsBar.com
