Strawberry Cheesecakes vs. Blueberry Cheesecakes




I find it difficult to really identified or pinpointing which cheesecake I like the most

Traditionally I prefer the blueberries better than the strawberries,
because I thought the strawberries are more sour than the blueberries
(but the strawberries are definitely more beautiful eh?)
then I decided to match them all at once this Sunday ;-)
the contenders're came from two well known & quite similar cake shops:
The Cheesecake Factory and The Harvest

4 of them are ready for the test:

I took the scoops carefully one by one sequentially

but after a second round of the scoops
I think I lost track there
of which taste belongs to which cheesecake :D

so at the end the verdict is....:
I still don't really know which cheesecake is my favourite!
I just love them all! :D
hmmm... what? you think it's not quite important?
(=iya yah ga penting banget dey! he3x)

Last Night's Dinner




Maybe attracted by the discount promotion from a credit card issuer
so I tried the menu that I never ordered before, but it's just so-so

I recall the chicken wings were quite tasty here, the chocolate thunder was so yummy, and they have ribs and rib-eye steaks with generous portions, also delightful vegetables sauce :-)

Today's Lunch




the sambal terasi (terasi/belacan chili paste) price here is higher
than the plain ice tea and plain white rice combined (both are refillable)

but it's really ok, & I think I'm really addicted to chili and its' derivatives ;-)

Sensitive


I had to see a doctor last Monday (for minor injury that gets a bit complicated caused by a ‘heroic’ self-operation cutting a papilla trunk from my wrist with a thread)

My doctor pre-examine the wound at the waiting couch (because she has three other patients at the examining rooms) then put a lotion over that wound and said ‘this is anesthetic lotion, it will numb your skin while I’m burning it to remove the remain of the papilla, and the longer it applied the better the anesthetic works’

Later in the examining room she gets her tool (the tool to burn my wound of course, what do you think?) and said that she’ll check my sensitivity first with that tool

But what do you know, after around 20 minutes that anesthetic lotion applied on my wound, I still could feel those electric sparkles zapping my skin

She’s concern with my sensitivity and immediately injects an ample of anesthetic solution on my wrist to double the numbing effect, then continue zapping my wound

But even after that I still could feel vaguely when those electric sparkles dancing on my burned skin

So at that point I’m convinced that I really am a sensitive type of person…

Literally…

 

(Hmmm… as a sensitive person I think I could detect the slightest change of tone in someone’s mind without vividly realize what that person thinking anyway)

Seaside Seafood Restaurant inside Ancol resort & entertainment complex, North Jakarta

Last Tuesday while escorting our CROs team to Dunia Fantasi (Dufan, entertainment park also in Ancol) I managed to have lunch here

The strength of this restaurant is because it's on a seaside, with quite appealing 'fish market' feature, and 50% discount promotion from Monday to Thursday on particular items

For the taste or cost-value performance this restaurant would be considerably just nice but only an average seafood restaurant, a friend of mine would call it 'manis2 jambu', referring to a mountain apple fruit that not very sweet but makes you want more :-) (hmmm... what about 'manis2 jambu' girl then?)

Other potential contenders are: 212 @ Kelapa Gading (their cuisines have strong & spicy flavour, quite hot & inspiring), D'Cost @ Kemang (considerably not costly for a seafood restaurant with considerably good taste), Parit 9 @ Bandung (one of the best taste seafood, especially their crab delicacies)

Well, every cuisine has its own delight, so just enjoy it while you're there

Cheers,
food lover

btw seafood is commonly known for its natural aphrodisiac effects, so eat wisely ;-)
