The Garden Restaurant - My Summer in Croatia

My summer break in 2016 was spent in Croatia with my 4 girl friends. It was a great week full of tasty food, beach days, and sunshine. So here I want to show you the culinary experience that we had once in Croatia.

The "Garden" Restaurant in Rab town
This place has a nice romantic vibe, and you can sit inside but still feel the open air. We all tasted different fresh seafood dishes.

The squid goulash with polenta is their famous local dish. This is the dish that I ordered and I enjoyed ied it to the last bite.

The cattlefish risotto is simply delicious with squid bits in it

The fried calamary with french fries tasted so fresh

Seabass with sauted spinach and potatoes. Nothing could be better than a whole fresh fish in a holiday island

The green pasta with gorgonzola sauce. It was surprisingly not as heavy as she thought it would be

This place to me is the number one restaurant in the whole Rab island. I guess in total we paid around 500 kuna, which was really worth it. We also got free welcome drinks, and we could feel the love in all the food. Thumbs up to the chef!

Finally, I got engaged! - A story of Chinese Indonesian Engagement Ceremony

Hi guys! It has been so long since I wrote last time. Yes, the whole 2017-18 has been a busy year for me as I tried to get my life in Sydney settled. I can say that now I am based in Sydney. It is my life now, being together with Eugene (My fiance) who has lived here for almost all his life and working as a researcher which I found living in Sydney gives me a lot of opportunities to pursue this career. So, I am writing this post to tell you a story about my engagement, which was done in a very Chinese way, the ceremony, tradition, and of course some details of how the decision to get engaged was made. My fiance and I are both Indonesian (we were born in Indonesia) but we also come from family who still maintain Chinese tradition and rituals at home (e.g celebrating chinese new year, keeping an altar of our ancestors, finding good dates based on your chinese zodiac, etc.). I was told that 300 myyears ago, my great, great grandparents migrated from China to Indonesia. Some fami...

My Mediterranean food story in Greece!

Hi Guys! Here is my food story from my short visit to Athens, Greece in summer 2016! My culinary experience in Athens was so unexpectedly great. At first I though it will be just about yogurt and salad, (hahaa, I mean the kind of food I was not raised with) but obviously it was more than simple seasoning! Greek food is similar to Turkish food or other middle eastern food which means that there are plenty of veggie options. There is something about how Greek food have all the ingredients combined, and produce the most amazing, unique taste, that you will never forget.In science we call this an "emergent" taste! >.< Here I show you the timeline of my culinary journey in Athens. Of course when picking these places, I always google searched the most "local sounding", non pretentious kitchen that serves food from heart. Day 1 Cretan food A place called "Kriti", Near Omonia Metro station This is the amazing taste of wheat g...

My Journey to Studying in Vienna, Austria

Wednesday, 29 Juli 2015 Well, well, well… This writing is the biggest work, that I dedicated most of my time working on it today and it is so relieving to be able to put all the roller coaster ride I have encountered in a note. I am writing this so as to keep the promise to myself and to others in the world whoever may have gone through the same thing as I have. The promise I made is somehow a form of ultimatum to the universe (at the beginning) and a reward to it after all tough moments in life that has finally brought me to be who I am today. So here, I would like to share about my journey in getting into Austrian University and to finally get my stay permit the for the whole year and the subsequent years of my study and work (hopefully). Excatly today, just 30 minutes ago, I got a call from the Austrian Embassy In Jakarta telling me that my visa D will be done in the next few days, and also just now the General consulate of Switzerland called me th...
