Sambal Goreng Ati dan Ayam Goreng Bumbu Kuning

Hari ini niat banget mau nyobain sambel goreng ati... rencananya sih buat dijadiin bekal di perjalanan ke London.. Maklum malam ini rencana ke London nai nightflyer nya MegaBus... 7 jam dari Glasgo.. berangkat jam 11 malem sampe London jam 6 pagi.. Mudah2an lancar ya Allah... Amien..

Oiya bact to sambel goreng ati dan ayam goreng,, akhirnya berhasil sudah dua masakan itu disiapkan.. tinggal di masukin ke otak makanan aja hehehhehe.. mudah2an para penumpang lainnya gak marah yah pas ita buka bekal makanan kita.. gak pake pete kok.. hehhe...

Oleh Oleh Edinburgh

Wowww..... Alhamdulillah sekali lagi.... Rencana berjalan lancar,.. Sampai di Edinburgh dengan selamat dan tepat waktu... Langsung pesan taksi ke Italian Embassy dan tralaaaaa paspor dengan visa schengen sudah siap ^_^ ah senangnya...

Sehabis ambil visa, kita bertiga menyusuri jalan Princess Street,, gak ada tujuan sih tapi liat Jenners, masuk dulu ah. pingin liat model tas terbaru nya Burberry.. sayang Jenners gak jual handbag nya cuma jual pakaian dan sepatu nya aja... Jenners gak reccomended untuk didatangi karena lift nya yg terpotong potong alias harus pindah pindah lift untuk sampai ke lantai tujuan.. Buat yang gak bawa buggies sih oke ya tinggal naik turun tangga, tapi buat ayah bunda nya qinan hoalaaaaa... kebingungan judulnya :p

Keluar dari Jenners, kita jalan lagi di sepanjang Princess Street lalu sedikit belok ke kiri ke arah St Andrew Square... Mau liat Burberry di Harvey Nichols sapa tau ada... Dan ternyata setelah dikelilingi ternyata gak jual Burberry juga,,waduh... tappi lumayanlah bisa cuci mata liat tas tas terbaru nya Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga, Tory Burch, Prada, Miu Miu... hanya saja sedikit heran harga nya lebih mahal dari pada di Glasgow... Gak signifikan sih cuma beda GBP 5 sd 10.

Abis itu cuci mata,, kita langsung menuju Jimmy Chung, Jimmy Chung looo bukan Jimmy Choo hehehhee.... Yang satu brand handbag dan sepatu dari London yang satu restoran buffet dari China :p Pas masuk kita tanya.. Excuse me,, do you serve halal meat here? dan mereka jawab,,, yes the chicken is halal... is there any seafood in the buffet? a bit dissapointed karena mereka gak serve seafood.. yah jadi menu kita buffet tapi cuma ayam doang dong... Gapapa lah secara resto nya deket banget sama Princess Station nya.. Jadi abis makan kita bisa langsung pulang tanpa jalan jauh lagi... Alternatif kedua tadinya mau cari fish n chips yang kesohor itu katanya ada di Royal Mile Street tapi gak begitu jelas d. daripada laper trus gak ketemu mending kita makan sini aja kata ayah...

Daaan ternyata,, enak banget hehehe.... puas lahhh dengan resto ini... Ayam nya banyak macemnya.. ada chicken honey, ada sweet n sour chicker, ada noodles ada garlic veg, ada terriyaki chicken dll.. wah Bunda makan banyaaak banget sampe ayah geleng geleng kepala hahahahhaha... kaget liat istrinya makannya sama banyaknya... Qinan juga kooperatif banget... duduk manis sambil makan sambil ketawa ketiwi.... sampe akhirnya dicicipin ayah banana fritters alias pisang goreng,,, udah deh abis itu maunya cuma pisang goreng aja , nasinya udah ga mau lagi.. huhuhuhu...

Seperti rencana tadi selesai makan kita langsung pulang,, bener aja,,, gak sampe 15 menit kita udah di atas kereta.. Glasgow here we comes... :)

The Loft Ashton Lane

Yippie,, finally I found a great restaurant in west end it called, The Loft. They are a huge area so we can have our lunch while the children play with the cars provided by the management for them. It's on the second floor, while there is a theater in the first floor. what's great in this theater called,Grosvenor, is that they have a special day which they called Watch with baby.. Yeaa.. So, I can bring Qinan to watch some movie. You know, Ive tried to bring Qinan to watch a movie in CineWorld in the city center but, they dont allow baby to come in. So, I am very happy, though until now I havent got chance to bring him... :p I took some photos too..

West End Festival

It's been months ago when we went to West End Festival.. Sorry, for took long time to post it. There were soooo many people came to see it. We had fun, met some friends there, ate some foods while laid down enjoy the shiny sunshine in grass.

I took some photos too for you.

Eid Mubarak

Welll now I know how it feels, celebrating Lebaran's Day in abroad. Overall I am happy, cause God still gives me chance to celebrate it with my new family (meaning : husband and son), while my mother father and siblings are celebrate it in Jakarta. A bit sad cause I always had Lebaran with them. Anyway, it makes me up again knowing that they are all happy and safe in town.

We prayed in Glasgow Central Mosque. then we off to Mbak Ita and Mas Rama's house somewhere around Paisley Road. I took a nice photos when I was there. Here they are...

Ayah sudah selesai submit 3 projectnya.. Sekarang kami sedang menunggu visa Schengen turun...

Talking about my cookery, Ive been cook so many type of dishes during this 7 months.. Western, European, Chinese, Indian, Pakistan and of course Indonesian food.. Too many dishes til I hardly remember what are they... :p

I think I am also good in baking. I bake ginger bread for my son, and he like it very much... Sultana, honey loaf for his snack instead of give him cake from Greggs.. owyaa, I also baked carrot cake.. I was thinking to sell it but I have no encourage to do so.. hihihihi..

We had a vacation in London, for twice times...Edinburgh, York and Liverpool... St Andrew.. what else... oww did I mention that we are planning to go to Italy, Paris and Spain?? hopefully everything is on schedule..

My mom and dad back to Jakarta on last 16 march. i was terribly sad at that time.. But I can manage it now,,,as long as they are happy and safe, I am happy here no matter how long the distance separate us.. I always pray for them everyday, at least 5 times after my Pray..

Today, is still on Eid celebration.. Eid Mubarak everybody.. :) First day, we went to Central Mosque to have our Eid Pray and off to Mbak Ita and Mas Rama Yusvana house since they did an open house for Indonesia people. we met friends and Indonesian food especially food that you only see in Lebaran, e.g Nastar... :p

Second day of Eid, we went no where since we have had to wait for the landlord, who will checked our flat.

Third day of Eid, which is yesterday, we went to Mbak Nina and Mas Ferry house. we had ketupat sayur, very delicious, soto ayam and gado gado.. very delicious til I can stand to have a fifth plate..

and today... we are planning to bring Qinan to a soft play arena.. He must be very happy.. it's in Partick, 8 gardner street, near the library I used to take him.


So, by for now.. i need to take a bath and prepare Qinan's lunchbox.. see you soonn..
