Terus terang saya gak ada clue sama sekali tentang Master Wok (tadinya), bahkan beberapa minggu sebelumnya jg saya makan di Makan Sutera tapi waktu itu belum ada Master Wok ya....yaiyalaah, ternyata Master Wok baru saja melakukan Grand Opening pada tanggal 22 Maret :D Tapi ternyata ini adalah outlet yang ke-4 lho...outlet sebelumnya bisa ditemui di Lotte Shopping Avenue, Mall Kelapa Gading 3 dan Senayan City.

Master Wok, bagian dari keluarga besar Boga Group merupakan Chinese Fast Food yang menyajikan makanan non-pork, dengan bahan berkualitas daaaan dimasak dengan menggunakan wok :D makanya namanya Master Wok. Semua makanan yang tersaji seger2 lho... pas digigit kres kres kres! yummmmm...udah gitu masih panas berasap! bener2 baru diangkat dari kompor. 

Nah di display makanan, semua jenis masakan dihidangkan di wok. Unik ya? Kerennya lagi, hanya di Mall Karawaci inilah Master Wok mengusung konsep All You Can Scoop! Jadi mau seberapa banyak anda mengambil lauk, terserah! Tambahan lagi, piring yang disajikan juga berupa wok. Bener2 merupakan pengalaman yg unik dan berkesan.

Untuk menu, jangan khawatir....pilihannya banyak! Semua kelihatan enak dan menarik. Menunya bahkan berganti tiap periode tertentu, jadi gak usah khawatir jadi bosan ya...Menu andalan Master Wok diantaranya adalah General Tso's chicken, mixed veggie, Blackpepper beef, Enoki Mushroom Tofu dan Prawn with salted egg. Adapun untuk paket2 pilihan ada :

1. Paket Master Style 1, terdiri dari 1 nasi + 1 sayur +1 lauk

2. Paket Master Style 2, terdiri dari 1 nasi  + 1 lauk +2 sayur

Genji Shoppe Pop-Up Store

Sebelum saya mulai review ini, saya pengen banget tanya nih. Ada gak sih orang yg gak tau Genji Pie? Saya hampir yakin gak ada ya...well, at least di keluarga kami ini selalu jadi cemilan favorit. Dari jaman saya masih imut dan lucu, sampai sekarang sudah punya 2 anak yg menggemaskan-pun masih suka makan Genji Pie. I mean, who can resist the sweet-crunchy heart shaped-layer pastry? 

Jadi ketika saya dapet undangan dari mbak Anne of Indonesian Foodblogger, langsung bilang iya dengan semangat :D Apalagi datangnya bisa atur sendiri, selama review diserahkan pada tanggal 26. Berhubung jadwal saya selalu harus dicocokkin dengan jadwal suami, jadinya less flexible...karena kebetulan juga suami saya agak sering keluar kota. 

Ketika 2 pekan lalu suami bersedia menjaga anak2, saya-pun berangkaaaat :D 

Sampai di lokasi, terkesima liat pop up store-nya! Asli unik dan very very eye catching. Dijamin deh semua yg lewat pasti ngelirik. Warna dasar putih dan dinding yang dipenuhi dengan mural yang wow banget!!! ngga main-main deh muralnya. Digarap dengan super serius dan bener2 cantik! 

Biarpun mungil, interior Genji Shoppe ini chic banget! Love all the props that are shown there. Rasanya pingiin banget bawa pulang semuahnyah, hihihihih.

Adalah 5 seniman berbakat yang mengerjakan lukisan2 di pop-up store Genji ini: 

• Rukmunal Hakim
  Seorang illustrator dengan fokus gambar dan lukisan hitam putih yang berasal dari Bandung dan dilahirkan buta warna namun tidak melepaskan kecintaannya pada seni
• Lala Bohang
  Seorang arsitek multitalenta yang keluar dari pekerjaannya dan menekuni profesi baru sebagai ilustrator dan penulis. Sederetan karya Lala dipamerkan dalam berbagai pameran termasuk ARTE 2014 dan pameran tunggalnya bertajuk “Gendis”
• Ykha Amlez
  Seorang illustrator muda yang sangat dekat dengan musik, spesialisasi menggambar, website illustrator hingga desain mural dan menjadi top of mind berbagai merek internasional, musisi, majalah, hotel hingga fashion designer
• Muhamad Taufiq (EmTe)                                                                                    Seniman muda Indonesia yang belajar secara otodidak dan telah berkarya selama lebih dari 10 tahun, spesialis dalam teknik karya cat air, EmTe sudah banyak menyebarkan karya ilustrasinya dari mulai pameran di galeri hingga promo iklan produk. Dari sekedar line-drawing (coretan pena), lukisan cat air, hingga ilustrasi komputer, digelutinya sebagai sebuah karya yang detil dan apik
• Monica Hapsari
  Seorang illustrator, pelukis, penata gaya dan visual artist spesialis hand-crafted paintings dengan karya yang sudah diakui secara nasional hingga luar negeri

Nah, mari kita lanjut untuk lihat2 menu. Ada apa aja sih di Genji Shoppe Pop-Up Store? Well, sebenernya ada 9 menu yg penampilannya menggugah selera. Terdiri dari 7 menu sweet dan 2 menu savory. Tapi karena ada sedikit kesalahpahaman, saya hanya mencoba 2 menu saja, huhuhuhuhuhu. Walaupun pihak Genji dan IDFB memperbolehkan saya untuk datang lagi untuk mencoba menu lain, tapi bener2 susah nyari waktunya :( Bahkan sampai sore tadi saya masih tetap berusaha untuk datang lagi ke Genji Shoppe, tapi rupanya waktu berkata lain. Yasudah deh, saya hanya bisa jelaskan 2 menu yang saya coba saja, ya...selebihnya saya gak bisa kasih foto nih :)

This Is Not a Martini (IDR 25,000)

Dessert ini pastinya dinamakan This is not a martini karena gelas yang dipakainya. Cantik banget ya? Jujur aja saya pilih menu ini karena keliatan cantik :D Dan ternyataaaaa, rasanya enaaaak! Mousse yang lembut dari coklat putih dan dark yg asli yummm yummm. Manisnya pun pas di lidah saya. Not overly sweet. Perfecto! 

Sweet Sweet Love (IDR 35,000)

Nah kalo yang ini, dari judulnya aja udah mencerminkan yaaaa...Sandwich dari original Genji Pie yang ada sweet surprise di dalamnya! Isinya brownies yg fudgy banget. Browniesnya sendiri agak terlalu manis kalo dimakan sendirian. Tapiiiiiiiii, kalo dimakan berbarengan dengan Genji dan buah raspberry segarnya. Enak! Jadi balance rasanya, karena bercampur dengan rasa asam segar dari raspberry.

Need I say more? buat saya, sekantong Genji Pie untuk sendiri, mana cukuuuuup.

Overall, Genji Shoppe ini menampilkan menu yang berasal dari genji pie yang sudah didandani :D Tampilan cantik2 menggugah selera, dan rasanya tentu saja makin nikmat dan variatif. Salut buat tim kreatifnya!

Nah teman-teman, ini lokasi dari Genji Shoppe ya, mohon diingat bahwa Genji Shoppe is a pop-up store, jadi cuman sementara aja nih, buruan kalo mau coba desserts yang yummy2 ini, masih ada waktu sekitar 2 minggu dari sekarang lho!

Milk Orange Layer Pudding

I make this layer pudding sometime ago, having difficulties in updating my blog lately. My laptop is broke-down, followed by my gadget. I guess its time to draw back a little. More than a little, I guess :P 

I don't want to make you all feel bored with my prolonged-laziness issue. So lets talk about the pudding. Simple ingredients with good result. I want it a bit light this time, so I skip the egg  yolk. Feel free to add a yolk for softer texture.

Ingredients A (For transparent layer)

1 tsp of plain jelly powder

250 ml water

2 tbsp sugar

canned oranges

Ingredients B (For white layer)

1/2 sachet of agar agar powder (3,5gr)

1/2 tsp of jelly powder

500 ml plain milk

sugar, please adjust the amount of sugar to your taste. I'm using 6 tbsp of sugar for this layer

Ingredients C (For orange milk layer)

1/2 sachet of agar agar powder

1/2 tsp of jelly powder

3 sachets of instant orange drink, you can replace this with orange syrup

500 ml of plain milk 

I don't need sugar because the instant orange drink is already sweet.

How to :

1. Prepare a pan, turn on your stove, medium heat. Mix together Ingredients A, except the canned oranges. Bring to the boil. 

continuous stirring is needed. Pour half of the mixture to your mold, wait until it has a thin skin on the surface. The skin should be strong enough to hold the canned oranges. Arrange the oranges on the first layer's surface. In the meantime let the rest of the transparent mixture stay cooked on the small heat stove. Arrange the oranges on the first layer's surface, then pour the rest of transparent mixture on top of oranges. 

2. Bring the Ingredients B and C to the boil with 2 separate pan. Bring to boil. Pour it to your mold each color for each layer. Please note that every time you pour the mixture, the first mixture must have thin skin on the surface, and the other mixture should be hot so that it will stick properly to the others. Repeat until all the agar mixture is done.

I herewith join the event in a culinary group on Facebook, Masbar (MasakBareng,yuk!). I'm a new member, and this is my first post :D 

One Fine Afternoon @ Six Degrees Coffee Drinkers

Last saturday, I attend a press release event held by a (rather) new cafe at Mal Alam Sutra. The invitation was from KEB, a group of blogger moms that I (not very) recently joined. The venue name is : 6 degrees cafe for coffee drinkers. Since the first time I read the name, it makes me wonder.....why 6 degrees? 

In all possibility, we were never strangers. Love the quote!

So, I arrived there, have a quick look and found how interesting the place is. The smoking area located in front of the cafe. I like the furniture arrangement, the material they're choosing. I can imagine updating my blog with a cup of coffee and some finger snack, there. With the wi-fi connection, that place is just perfect. the interior is very unique, it has wavy wood panel almost all over the wall. It somehow creates a cozy and warm ambiance, like a melting pot should be. 

Back to 6 degrees, the owner of the cafe are 3 friends who share the same interest, food and travelling. And they explain that they choose the cafe's name because they believe the theory that human are separated only by 6 degrees of friendship. Dare to prove it?

Then my favorite time comes, photo time! The silly thing is, i forgot to re-charge my battery pack. All I have is only a few power left :( I know I have to make sure that I have some shoots for the star of the cafe : the coffee n food!

So, not like any other resto review that I've ever attended, I only took few photos, not satisfying at all. Especially when there are so many spot, food, drink to be captured. Oow btw, the lighting of 6 degrees cafe is perfect to make me starve :D I dunno, I starved easily whenever I'm in a room with yellow lamps and warm color. Can someone explain to me what the relation is? Yellow light and my rumbling tummy? 

One thing for sure, I dont like taking pictures under yellow light, it makes the food look less appealing :( Im a big fan of  natural light when it comes to photography. So whenever there's a window with sunlight bursting in, im in! Too bad my chair was far from the window, and its a bit troublesome to take the food outside, anyway they aren't all mine :P I have to share it with fellow bloggers :) Even though I cannot show you proper photos, be assured that the reality is way prettier.

I order greentea blended, my oh my, I always loooove green tea. Wherever I go, this drink is always on my top list! Its thick and perfect for me, for non greentea lover, might be better to add a little bit more sugar :)

six degrees special : pulp strawberry

I order my favorite spaghetti, Aglio et olio. Do you know what is alio et oglio means? Aglio is garlic and olio is oil, so this very simple yet delicious spaghetti is a stir fry spaghetti with garlic and olive oil. The pasta is perfectly cooked, al dente. I like it that they use chili to bring more flavour. The finger food also delicious, the chicken wing is crispy, love the sauce! And the buttered fish with tartar sauce is yummy. Btw, this cafe provides all homemade, including the sauce. 

chicken wings

battered fish

Then Mr. Rafal Kapusta, one of the owner show us how to make cappucino. Learned that it was not that simple. You need perfect timing and perfect skill to serve a cup of gorgeous cappucino. The taste? Oooh heavenly. I love coffee, and it was one of my favorite cappucino, ever! Strong taste, and also creamy. 

Another good news is, they use Indonesia's coffee bean! Thumbs up!

Green Fried Rice with Mini Anchovies

If you are an Indonesian, you must love fried rice! Its like a national menu, here :D You can easily find it almost everywhere. Restaurants, cafes, food courts, or food stall. In fact, I and (I believe) most Indonesia citizen can buy it easily from street vendor. You don't have to go out to enjoy a full plate of delicious fried rice, simply wait for the vendor to pass your neighbourhood area and just clap your hand and he will pull the cart in front of your house to make it easier for you to place your order! Simple and cheap! A plate of fried rice sold for IDR 9000-12,000. About USD 1 :D I love Indonesia :D :D :D 

Many of my friends who lived in another country admit that they missed fried rice seller, and other Indonesian street food. We have soooo many varieties of fried rice, from chinese style fried rice, javanese style, and many others. The topping too is vary. Say sliced meatball, sausage, chicken, seafood, etc. Some vegetables also an important companion to your wonderful fried rice. Chives, corn, carrot, are often found. Adding Indonesian pickles (acar) and crackers will make it even better! 

I'm about to share a fried rice with green anaheim peppers, known as cabe hijau besar in Indonesia. This pepper is not to sharp in flavour, also less spicy. I actually made this fried rice 2 months ago, wonder why I keep delaying the upload *sigh*

Green Fried Rice with Mini Anchovies
Adapted from : Daily Cooking Quest

- 500gr of cooked white rice 
(it is best if you use last night rice, in room temperature. So, it will not be sticky and soggy after frying)
- 1 teaspoon of salt (please do have a taste first)
- 4 tbsp of fried mini anchovies, and 1-2 tablespoon more for sprinkle
- 1 teaspoon of soy sauce (Indonesian : kecap asin)
- 1/4 teaspoon of sesame oil 
- 2 tablespoon of cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon of margarine or butter
- 6 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 5-6 green anaheim pepper, use mortar and pestle to grind the peppers, or blender. I usually use the seed, too. But you can de-seed it if you like.

Topping :
- 2 eggs, whisk together, add salt and pepper. Fry in a pan. Or you can simply make a sunny side up :)
- your favorite vegetable, I use romaine lettuce (known as selada keriting in Indonesia)  sliced tomato and sliced kyuri (japanese cucumber)

How to :

1. Pre-heat cooking oil and margarine in a pan/wok, sautee the chopped garlic until golden brown, add in the paste of anaheim green pepper, sautee until fragrant.
2. Add cooked white rice, salt, soy sauce and fried anchovies. Stir until everything is well mixed. Add in the sesame oil. Make a quick stir and then turn off the heat.
3. Divide into two portions, serve with egg and vegetables, sprinkle with fried mini anchovies.

Blueberry Muffin

Blueberry is not a "down to earth" fruit in Indonesia. In fact, they are expensive! I once bought frozen blueberry, cheaper of course. But its super tarty. Whenever we make smoothie, juice (I'm not into baking the last time I bought blueberries), we must add huge amount of sugar to balance its sourness. After that, I always hesitate to buy blueberries. But then I hooked up into baking world, and suddenly feel the urge to try as many blueberry recipes as I could. 

So on my last visit to grocery store I bought a pack of blueberries, and decide to make muffin for my first blueberry recipe. I love muffin, its simple and delicious and good for every occasion. Well, at least that's my personal opinion :P I can have it for breakfast, brunch or teatime :D And as I'm trying to serve healthier menu for my family  (ehmm) I use yoghurt instead of milk and vegetable oil instead of butter. The taste? Oohhh scrumptious! Looooove it. And the most important thing is that I feel less guilty by using yoghurt and oil :D

Blueberry muffin

1 pack of blueberry (mine is about 180gr)

1 1/2 cup of all purpose flour

1/2 tsp of baking soda

3/4 tsp of baking powder

pinch of salt

1/4 cup of vegetable oil

1/2 cup of sugar, and more for sprinkle

1 egg

200ml of yoghurt

1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions 

1. Pre-heat your oven 180 Celsius degree.

2. Smear your muffin pan with butter, or skip this stage if you're using muffin cup

3. In a bowl, shift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside

4. In another bowl,  mix together yoghurt, egg, sugar, vanilla. Add in the dry ingredients. Do not overmix! throw in the blueberries. Mix until just combine. I left some blueberries to be put ontop of each muffin.

5. Pour the batter into muffin pan until almost full, press down lightly the remaining blueberries, and then sprinkle some sugar.
