(This is the first time we tried this, since it was my brother’s birthday celeberation)
Ah seafood at its best
We tried a couple of cooking varieties…some of the pictures are below:
The two fishes, the Singaporean Sauce Fish as well as the Barbecue fish. Both of them tasted good. I didn’t get the name of the barbecued fish. It was very weird shape looking fish. It has a pointy nose quite long, i thought it was some sort of saw fish but i dont think so. The meat tasted like chicken..so tender and not so soft
The chili sauce was very hot, onions, tomatoes, chili padi, little bit vegetable oil.
The tiger prawns were good as well (i know the tiger prawn here is so small compare to the US produced :p)
The eggplant was cooked quite differently. They use shrimp paste as the main ingredients and spice it up with a few chili padi.
It was great experience to taste that one unique fish hehehe.

Their speciality is Ayam Tungku Rempah (Tungku Rempah Chicken) and Gurame Saus Emas (Golden Sauce Gurame Fish).
So we ordered those two and we love it.
The chicken is bbq’ed first then there is a special red chili sauce pour over it. Delicious. It made me wanting for more … ooooooohhh
On the fish, I always love Gurame goreng (Fried Gurame) but this time is different, they fried the gurame with salted egg. I think salted egg over anything is pretty good. For example like the Malioboro Salted Egg fried chicken..from my previous post.
Below is the Fried Salted egg Gurame fish:

I’m sorry I seem to have lost the photo for the bbq’ed chicken…I am going to ask my wife to try to cook this

the food at the Soekarno Hatta airport is yucks…I think I have a little stomach ache right now while writing this post.
There is this small cafe that sells Nasi Rawon (one of my favorites food), after aeting my lunch there, I felt weird all over…
Next time I am in this airport, I will just go ahead and get either KFC, A&W or some other “reputable” restaurant….
sorry about this bad comment in this post, I just had to blog it out loud!! hehehe.
Anyway, on the other hand, I will be meeting my wife and son
I have missed them so muchhh hehehe…

I am currently in Jakarta and my friends invited me to have a lunch at Dinar Seafood by Pluit Plaza (used to be Mega Mall).
We ordered this fish called ‘kudu-kudu’. The meat tasted like chicken amazingly
That’s what they said haha.
They broiled the fish and a shrimp paste sauce in it. yes inside the cooked fish.
I didnt get a chance to take a picture of it.
It was good overall.
The setting was by the small lake (or river, i cant seem to make it out whether is a river or a small lake). So it feels like you are “by the water” sensation.
Please try it if you have a chance to be in Jakarta.

I think a food critic job is awesome!! 
You are anonymously commenting and criticizing the food that you eat, maybe? I dont know.
There are so many roles in this job. It’s very hard! I guess.
Anyone has advice or tips for me?
I’m reading on this articles:

Grr I don’t think I have all that skills…how??
