The Salt Resto and Bar Semarang (Review)

Bagi penyuka ataupun yang mau nyobain makanan India di Kota Semarang mungkin akan kesulitan dalam menemukan tempat untuk mencari dan menikmati makanan India yang enak, namun sekarang sudah ada restoran yang bernama The Salt yang berada di Jalan Sumbing 18a, Semarang yang menyediakan berbagai masakan India yang tentu rasa rempah - rempah khas India nya kerasa banget.

Untuk restoran nya sendiri sih ada 2 tempat, indoor dan outdoor. Untuk yang indoor ya bentuknya sama kayak restoran - restoran biasa tapi untuk yang outdoor mereka memiliki tema seperti mobil - mobil dan disitu ada bar nya.

Untuk makanan nya seperti yang aku bilang diawal tadi mereka spesialisasi nya adalah di masakan India tapi mereka juga punya menu Western dan Asia. Ini makanan - makanan yang aku pesen waktu ke restoran nya.

Yang pertama adalah Galic Naan. Garlic nya kerasa banget soalnya memang ada banyak banget di atas rotinya dan rotinya juga cocok banget kalo mau di dip ke saus tikka masala nya.

Yang kedua Lazziz Murch Tikka Masala. Well, namanya agak unik sih menurutku tapi ini basically adalah boneless chicken dengan saus rempah - rempah India yang aku kurang tau apa aja tapi yang pasti ayamnya tender sama rempah - rempah nya kerasa banget dan juga pedesnya slowly build-up jadi awalnya nggak begitu pedes tapi setelah makan beberapa suap pedes dan panasnya mulai kerasa. 

Yang ketiga Fish Tikka Masala. Soal rasa, sekali lagi rempah - rempah nya kerasa banget kayak Lazziz Murch Tikka Masala tapi kalo menurutku FIsh Tikka Masala ini nggak se-asin dan se-pedas Lazziz Murch.

Garlic Naan (IDR 15,000)

Lazziz Murch Tikka Masala (IDR 80,000)

Fish Tikka Masala (IDR 60,000)

Itu aja review dari aku, thank you for visiting my blog :D

Sego Buto Semarang (Review)

Just a quick update~

Jadi ini ada tempat makan dengan nama unik untuk kalian yang memang makannya banyak hehe. Nama tempat makan nya 'Sego Buto', well.... 'Buto' sendiri biasanya untuk monster yang memang badannya gede gitu.

Untuk lokasi sendiri, terletak di Pujasera Simpang Lima Semarang (deket ACE Hardware) dan mereka mulai buka dari jam 18.00 - 02.00.

Yak, dan ini dia menu mereka yg paling komplit, namanya 'Sego Buto Kalap'. Basically ini isinya semua topping yang ada di sini, mulai dari ayam, udang, cumi, sosis, dan telur. Untuk rasa bumbunya sendiri sih..... agak susah ngejelsainnya tapi kalo buat aku kayak bumbu kare tapi agak light. Untuk rasa dari masing2 components sih udah enak, bumbu nya udah kerasa, tapi kalo ditambah saosnya jadi makin enak (that sauce really brings them all together). Oh ya, di samping nama menu ini ada tulisan 'Untuk 3 - 4 Orang' :D

Sego Buto Kalap (IDR 42,000)

So yeah, itu aja sih review dari aku,

Pappagallo Semarang

This restaurant is located at Jl. Ahmad Yani 162 Semarang (Besides Klinik Mata Nusantara) which is kinda in the middle of the city.

The environment was great. Combination of wooden furniture and wooden floor and you can also see the kitchen from your seat. I think they could accommodate more than 50 people inside. 

Their menu was quite a lot but it was basically 2 sets of menus. The first one is is more of the Asian cuisines and he other one is Western cuisines. 

These are what I ordered. Ok, first, the Marinated Chicken Feet. It was great :D. The chicken meat was just falling off of the bones, so tender and the spices were also perfect. The black pepper didn't overpowered the other spices.

Second, is the seafood in spicy herb. The taste was... kinda strong for me but it was still enjoyable to eat. The broth I think was a tomato soup and they gave other spices and herbs and also chili (correct me if I'm wrong) to strengthen the flavors. There are a lot of types of seafood in this dish such as shrimp, squid, etc. And they were all in good portion.

Last, but certainly not the least is the BBQ platter. This is my favorite of all three. The meat was tender and the skin was crispy, highly recommended :D. The taste of the meat itself were no too strong, but they'll provide you with 2 sauces. One is more of a sweet sauce and the other one was more of a salty sauce.

Marinated Chicken Feet (Rp 12,888)

Seafood in Spicy Herb (Rp 36,888)

BBQ Platter Chicken and Duck (Rp 49,888)

Overall it's a great restaurant to eat with your family and your friends, because their menus were diverse. If your friends/ families doesn't eat seafood, easy, he/ she can order the western foods or maybe the chicken :D

That's all that I can share to you, thank you for coming and reading my blog :D

First Love Patisserie Semarang

This mini cafe is located at Jl Moch Suyudi No. 60 Semarang. When i said 'mini', it really is small. I don't think that they can accommodate more than 20 people inside. But, there's an advantage on having a small cafe, the environment was relaxing, not noisy whatsoever.

From what I know, they have 2 outlets in Semarang, one is this place and the other one is in Grand Edge (besides Momoya).

These are what I ordered. Thousand Layer Cake (Oreo Flavor) and Iced Cafe Latte. First of all, the cake itself was light and not too sweet. The combination of the cream and oreo was just amazing. Take note that you can order a whole cake or just per slices. Beside Oreo flavor they also have wide varieties of other taste. Staring from Original, Cappuccino, Belgian Chocolate, Green Tea, etc.

Next is the drink. The Iced Cafe Latte was so refreshing, I mean the taste of the coffee was not that strong. There's actually crumbles of white chocolate on top. They served my drink as not sweet but they do provide sugar if you want to add it to your drink. 

Thousand Layer Cake (Oreo Flavor) (Rp 30,000)

Iced Cafe Latte (Rp 28,000)

So, if you're a fan of thousand layer cake you need to try this place out. You might want to invite your close friends also, because it's a nice place to hang out with them. 

That's all that I can share to you, Thank you for coming and reading my blog :D

HGBF Kamiki Burning Gundam

So, I like how this gunpla looks, it really looks like a martial arts master. With the addition of a sword and new fire wings (?), make it looks more badass. I decided to add the Sengoku Astray's swords to this kit for its dual katana style and it turns out to be better than I thought.

Here's the gallery of my photos for my Kamiki Burning Gundam:

Marugame Udon @Paragon Mall, Semarang

I love Japanese foods :D, so when I knew that there's a new Japanese restaurant (in this case is an udon & tempura restaurant) opened in Semarang I got excited and I decided to go there to have a taste of their foods.

When I arrived, it was around 1 pm, so it was crowded with people who wants to eat lunch, but I decided to just queue along. And yeah, after 10 or 15 minutes I arrived at the 'Order' counter.  

This is what I ordered. Ontama Udon and various tempura. So, Ontama udon is the udon itself with 'bukake dashi' broth, egg, leeks, and the tempura's crumbles. I really love this udon, the texture of the noodles were perfect and the broth was very delicious, not too salty and light in flavor. When you mix the egg with the broth it will make the taste even better. 

Next is the tempura, personally I like the ebi tempura and the egg tempura. For the ebi tempura, the composition of the flour and the shrimp was good, I can still taste the shrimp. The reason why I love the egg tempura was because it was cooked perfectly, it was still half-cooked in the middle. The croquette and kakiage was good, but i preferred the ebi tempura and the egg tempura :D

Ontama Udon (Rp 40,000)

Various Tempura

Ebi Tempura (Rp 15,000 / pc)

Beef Croquette (Rp 12,000 / pc)

Kakiage (Rp 11,000 / pc)

Egg Tempura (Rp 9,000 / pc)

So, for me this is the best udon restaurant in Semarang, yet. The price for me is still okay. I'd love to come back again and try other menus in the future.

That's all that I can share to you, thank you for coming and reading my blog :D

Carnivor Sky Bar & Grill Semarang

The restaurant is located at Grand Edge, SL Floor, Jl Sultan Agung 96, Semarang, Jawa Tengah and it opens from 5 pm until 1 am. Because of its location (at the top of the hotel) you will be able to see Semarang from above, so you can eat your food while enjoying the scenery around you :D

Now let's look at the menu. For appetizers they have Crispy Nachos, Quesadillas, Calamary Fritter, etc. For main course they offered us with a lot of options, starting from Risotto, Fish & Chips, varieties of pasta, pizza, burger, and also steak. They also have 4 choices of dessert to complete your meal. For 'Beverages' category, they have it on different sheet (I forgot to take picture of it). One hing that I noticed from their menu is that it was a 'soft opening menu' so i expect there will be some changes when they  use their 'real' menu.

(Sorry it's blur)

So, I ordered a 200gr Sirloin Steak (medium) with mushroom sauce + ice tea and my sister ordered Risotto Chicken Mushroom + lemon tea. I personally like the texture of the meat, it was juicy but for the taste i think it will be better if they give more salt. For the side dish and the mushroom sauce, they were all good, no complaint. And yeah, they gave me a medium steak, just like what I ordered.

I also taste my sister's risotto. It was great, creamy, rich in flavor, not too salty, and the herbs were there to increase the fragrance.

Sirloin Steak (Rp 175,000)

Risotto Chicken Mushroom (Rp 45,000)

To sum it all up, it's a great place to have dinner with your friends and families or maybe to have birthday celebrations or other things. With good foods and beautiful scenery i'm sure you will have a good time in this place.

That's all that I can share to you, thank you for coming and reading my blog :D
