( >.< ) <---- My Face When Eat Kimchi

I'v watched anykind of Korean TV Show and most of them show us anykind of Korean foods. And everytime i watched them, it makes me drool as hell!!

In Korea, when we have some meal, we will served with so many side dishes, like salad leafs, perilla leafs, achovies, garlic, stir-fry vegetable, and kimchi. Kimchi is the famous side-dish in Korea. All Korean people wouldn't eat well if kimchi is not served. So, it makes me curious how's kimchi tastes?

I went to a grocery in downtown to buy some snacks and my needs. When i at fruits and vegetables section, i saw there is some packed kimchi. It's a rare condition, because i live in a small town which had no Korean restaurant and rare to see any Korean stuff. And when i saw this kimchi, it feels like i found a treasure.

In the first time, i picked the large pack. But i re-think that, maybe it's not tasty as i thought because Indonesian tongue are different with Korean. So i picked the smaller one.

I'm so excited to taste the kimchi. So, whent i'm home, i directly open the pack and.... i smell something spicy and sour, of cource because it is a fermented pickle. Then, i get a pair of chopstik (to bring Korean atmosphere, he he he :p) and pick a little piece of kimchi. It looks so reddish, and again the smell is so sour and spicy.

It's the time! I put the kimchi in my mouth and my first expression were like this  ( >.<  ). The sourness level is really really really really really sour, and litlle bit bitter. Actually, it's under my expectation, because firstly i thought i will taste some sweetness because they made it with some sugar to. Anyway, it tastes like rotten cooked vegetable.

This is the packaging

with chopstick to bring Korean atmosphere >,<

this is it, rotten... uhmmm i mean kimchi! :D


PS: I read at the pakcage that the fresh taste of the kimchi is when it just made. And the delicious taste is about 30 days after, and fermented taste (wich good for cooking) is after 75 days. I thought the one that bought is already over 30 days after (consider how far Korea - Indonesia), so the taste is not really good to ate directly.

Klaim Asuransi Smartphone by Tec-Protec

Jadi ceritanya Januari kemarin saya beli hape. Pas mau bayar, saya ditawarin untuk add-on asuransi Tec-Protec. Fungsinya kalau terjadi kerusakan akibat human error seperti jatuh atau kemasukan cairan, maka bisa di klaim dengan perlindungan 95%. Awalnya saya sempet ragu, tapi karena preminya cuma Rp. 300ribu / tahun, jadi nggak rugi-rugi amat kalau pun nggak kepake.

Trip Ke Hanoi #3 : Halo, Ha Long Bay

Image
"Gilang, since there are no reports, so you can be free on the weekend.” Kata Bruce, rekan kerja yang in-charge ngatur schedule kerjaan selama di Hanoi. Saya pun senang sekaligus bingung. Senang karena ada waktu bebas untuk jalan-jalan, tapi bingung mau kemana. Secara selama libur imlek, semua yang ada di sini itu pada tutup. Eits, percuma donk ada mbah Google. Saya langsung cari tau apakah ada travel agent yang menawarkan paket wisata selama libur panjang? Ternyata ada!  Red Lotus Travel salah satu agen yang menawarkan paket wisata tersebut. Saya pilih agen ini karena rekomendasi beberapa travel blogger dan juga komentar positif dari wisatawan yang pernah menggunakan jasa mereka. Saya memilih one-day-trip ke Ha Long Bay.

Ha Long Bay sendiri sudah dikenal oleh dunia internasional dengan keindahan bukit-bukit kapur yang bentuk yang beragam serta unik. Kenapa Cuma trip seha...

[Snack Time!] Mony Jelly Jus

Image
Ada yang ingat dengan Es Mony? Es rasa buah berbentuk segitiga yang pernah Hits tahun 90an dulu? Wah, jadi flashback ke masa kecil dulu. Tapi berbeda dengan es Mony jaman dulu, kali ini yang saya cicipin adalah Mony Jelly Jus.                                            Beberapa hari yang lalu di rumah saya mati lampu, jadi saya iseng kabur ke Giant supermaket dekat rumah. Saat lagi keliling di rak minuman, saya melihat Caprisone, tapi ternyata ada yang lebih menarik perhatian saya, yaitu, Mony Jelly Jus. Ada dua rasa, Jeruk dan Stroberi, saya beli saja dua-duanya, kebetulan cuaca Pekanbaru cukup panas jadi saya butuh yang segar-segar. Karena lebih nikmat diminum dingin (beku lebih tepatnya), jadi saya diamkan dulu seharian di dalam freezer . Sudah seharian, sekarang...
