Berwisata ke Singapura dan mengunjungi Marina Bay Sands tentu tidak hanya terbatas pada kesempatan untuk menginap di hotelnya yang megah, pengalaman berbelanja di The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands-nya yang mewah, atau bersantap di berbagai restoran milik celebrity chef-nya.

Notifikasi dari Kawano International, grup besar yang bergerak di bisnis F&B di Jakarta, datang menghampiri laman Facebook saya beberapa waktu yang lalu.

My dear readers, A few days ago I came up with a subject about the halal status of my reviews so far. I understand this is not an easy task as it requires further study and it may give quite an impact on how we should perceive food in the future. To note also that this is an issue which a friend of mine said, may be quite confusing, even for a country of Muslim majority such as Indonesia. By t...

It has come to my attention that more and more demands for clear halal-ness notice on every restaurants and even hawkers have grown so much lately in the whole world. Some countries have managed to regulate this much disciplined than Indonesia and honestly, even sometimes I feel safer eating halal food in Singapore or Thailand.

This particular story about how I found RM Pak Slamet is probably among the most dramatic I’ve ever had. Not only that RM Pak Slamet is located far in the northern side of Jakarta but this restaurant has merits rarely found anywhere else! It took about a couple of months until I finally s...

Mangia. I thought it’s an Italian joint or something. Well, I didn’t bother to look for the definition of it or anything. Until one time, a good friend of mine friend arranged a dinner there for all of us.
