Cokelat yang dikenal dengan manfaat untuk mengurangi tekanan darah tinggi serta salah satu obat anti depresi ini memang tidak bisa dipungkiri khasiatnya dan tentu merupakan dessert yang dinantikan diberbagai occasion, namun bagaimana jika kandungan rasa coklat yang dikonsumsi bertahan lebih lama dari biasanya, penasaran? read this...

Have you heard about Tanzanian Chocolate before? If your answer is NO, let me share with you my experienced about the new trend in chocolate industry. Tanzanian cokelat merupakan salah satu coklat premium yang kini sedang menjadi trend di industri cokelat dunia karena memiliki kandungan Theobromine yang merupakan sejenis zat kimia alami dan memiliki efek memberikan rasa nikmat serta menenangkan sejak gigitan pertama. So, is it SAFE? 100% yess, karena Theobromine memang umum dan terdapat didalam setiap biji cokelat, hanya saja pada cokelat tanzania kandungannya lebih tinggi hingga mencapai 72%. So WHAT IS SO SPECIAL?

Is a good news for you pleasure seekers, beberapa waktu lalu, saya dan beberapa food bloggers lain mendapat undangan untuk menjadi yang pertama dan merasakan sensasi terbaru dari Cokelat Tanzania yang di keluarkan oleh Magnum, they called it MAGNUM INFINITY, WHY? because Magnum Infinity tidak hanya berupa varian terbaru, namun Magnum juga memberikan sensasi yang berbeda untuk kamu para pecinta cokelat, The Long Lasting Pleasure of Tanzanian Dark Chocolate! Woooo... sounds good huh, and yess, it's definitely superb delicious anyway. 

Perpaduan Cokelat Tanzania dan Caramel ini tidak hanya istimewa, namun memberikan rasa nikmat yang tahan lama dibandingakan dengan varian sebelumnya, karena Magnum Infinity juga dilapisi taburan biji cokelat (cocoa nibs) dengan tekstur yang khas sehingga terasa lebih renyah saat gigitan pertama, serta rasa yang tidak terlalu manis ataupun pahit, meski kandungannya berupa dark chocolate, it's totally different.

So, after sharing session, we've got challenged to make our own ice cream creations and using Magnum Infinity. And, this is my creations with some of food bloggers. Voilaaaa... all this pretty dessert looks good..

You better watch out...You better not cry... Better not pout, I'm telling you why...

IKEA. This place sounds familiar for those who love the art and modern yet stylish furniture, right? Agree to disagree with that, well, I have my own reasons why I love IKEA. They really show us a good retail products that will make our rooms, kitchen, or bedroom looks more beautiful than before. But I bet you guys (probably) haven't know yet about one treasure inside IKEA, let me introduce you to SWEDISH MEATBALLS! Another delightful pleasure dish that I've tried during my trip in Guangzhou, China. Almost in every country that I visited, I always try to find IKEA and spend some time to enjoy this one. My best friends told me to try several dishes at IKEA, then I tried The Chocolate Milk and Cinnamon Bun. Since I've tasted them, I'll always remember how it taste, delicious! But, unfortunately when I was in my previous Hong Kong trip, I order the same Swedish Meatballs from IKEA in Causeway Bay. I was not really satisfied with their sauce and the presentation was really different from that one in China. As you can see on these picture below.

So, I wonder how to cook this delicious food until I found this recipe and I'll try it, so hopefully you can try also, after that you can share to me and others for the result, happy cooking then :D

Ingridients:

30 - 40 meatballs, serves 4

250 gram minced beef

250 gram minced pork

1 egg

2-3dl cream (or milk) and water

2 1/2 tbsp fine chopped onion

1/2 dl unsweetened rusk flour

2 boiled potatoes, cold

4-5 tbsp butter, margarine or oil salt, white pepper, (all spice)

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT:

1. Heat the onion till golden in a couple of tbsps of lightly browned butter, mash the potatoes and moisten the rusk flour in a little water.

2. Mix all the ingredients into a smooth farce of the right consistency and flavour grenerously with salt, whit pepper and (optional) a little finecrushed allspice.

3. Using a pair of spoons rinsed in water, shape the farce into round balls and transfer to floured chopping board, then fry them quite slowly in plenty of butter.

* A29 - A34 dibandrol dengan harga HKD $8 for each menu

* A35 - A39 dibanrol dengan harga HKD $12 for each menu.

So, keempat pembagian menu (daging/sayuran) diatas wajib kamu pilih sebagai isi dari noodles yang ingin disantap, actually konsepnya menarik, you choose what you want for your own dinner or lunch.

3. B1 - B4; merupakan menu paket yang sudah tersedia dan sudah terdiri dari aneka paduan isi daging maupun sayuran. So, for this part, you don't need to put anything else, unless you really want it and needed, that's oke :)

4. Choose your own spicy from C1 (no spicy) until C9 (very super Spicy).

5. Chooese your own sour from D1 (less sour) until D5 (nothing inside only noodle).

6. The last, if you have any special request for your dishes like E1 (less bean sprouts), E4 (more leek), E8 (less rice noodle) and many more as you can see on the picture.

TRADITIONAL CHINESE RICE NOODLE, HOME MADE SOUP WITH SPICY SLICED PORK AND MEDIUM SPICY | HKD $32

And, this is my dinner when I was there, can you see the picture, the portions is pretty big right and the soup is really delish for your tounge. This is the best and I really love it.

Dim sum yang dikenal dengan istilah makanan kecil/makanan pendamping dari bahasa kantonis ini memang sudah tidak asing lagi, bahkan santapan Dim Sum dari negeri tirai bambu ini sangat mudah di temukan di berbagai belahan negara, khususnya Hong Kong merupakan salah satu negara yang juga terkenal dengan aneka Dim Sum.

Yess, jika kamu sedang berlibur ke Hong kong, salah satu agenda kuliner yang wajib di kunjungi adalah Tim Ho Wan yang merupakan the cheapest michelin starred dim sum from Hong Kong, some people said that Tim Ho Wan is too overrated and the queue is quite long, but I don't believe it and don't care about what they said, and i'm still curios with that. So, after long journey on my first day, around 5 PM I visited Tim Ho Wan at olympian city and voilaaa there's no queue line and the place is not crowded like i've heard before, or maybe i'm just lucky? :D

What makes Tim Ho wan so special? biasanya ada rasa pasti berbanding lurus dengan harga, namun yang ditawarkan oleh Tim Ho Wan adalah keduanya, penyajian aneka dim sum dengan kualitas yang tidak hanya nikmat hingga membuat ketagihan para foodies (including me), namun harga yang ditawarkan juga sangat terjangkau. So, I thought that's the reason why Tim Ho Wan being so special, everyone's looking for a good taste with affordable price, isn't it? LOL Well, let's see the detail..

BAKED BUN WITH BBQ PORK | HKD$19

Baked bun yang satu ini tentu menjadi primadona dari tim ho wan, bentuknya sederhana namun saat disantap rasanya tidak biasa, tesktur balutan roti dibagian luar terasa sangat lembut meski sedikit manis, namun bisa mengimbangi paduan daging BBQ pork di bagian dalam.

STEAMED PORK DUMPLING WITH SHRIMP | HKD$24

This is the best siu mai i've ever eaten before! HaHa.. Sebagai penggemar siu mai, potongan siu mai yang disajikan ini bisa dikatakan perfect, bukan hanya potongan daging dibagian dalam yang cukup tebal namun rasanya sangat juicy terutama saat disantap bersamaan dengan potongan daging udang yang lembut.

STEAMED BEEF BALLS WITH BEAN CURD SKIN | HKD$16

This is my favorite menu! trust me, one is never enough :D

DEEP-FRIED BEANCURD SHEET ROLL WITH SHRIMPS | HKD$24

VERMICELLI ROLL STUFFED WITH PORK | HKD$18

STEAMED FRESH SHRIMP DUMPLING | HKD$24
