I am currently at Pasta de waraku, blogging in while eating the food
I am having Chicken pasta in Wafu Sauce as well as the Salmon Calppacho

Chicken Teriyaki Pasta is great! It’s been awhile I have tasted a good teriyaki sauce in Indonesia.
It is sprinkled with shreds of seaweed as well mushrooms slices.

Presentation is good.

The salmon salad is is unique. It probably used thousand island as its main sauce, cabbages on the bottom. Below are the photos:

Ahh finally the new D’lish cafe/restaurant is now opened in Surabaya @ Laguna2.
It looks like a fusion of Indonesia/French food…I had a chance to taste them for free! hehehe.
I can say all of them are “d’lish” or (delicious)…

Some of the food below:

They used varieties of fruit sauces, for example, they used banana,mango,citrus (lemon and orange), pineapple and many other stuff…
I heard the chef was one of the respected chef in Indonesia.

A short description about Laguna2…Laguna2 is the new extension of Laguna1. Laguna1 is an open food court with lots of food stalls with many types of foods. Laguna2 is more a cafe/resto style. You can sit outside and watching the kids riding on rickshaw (becak), a very tall man on a pair of tall sticks/bamboos and other entertainment.

(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…
