Enjoying Hokubee Tenderness in Holycow! Steakhouse


(Interior of Holycow! Steakhouse Kebon Jeruk)
It was late night, nearly 22.00 PM when I reached Kebon Jeruk District after my friend's Birthday bash. We couldn't find any other restaurant which accept us for a quick dinner, so we tried our luck here at Holycow! Steakhouse Kebon Jeruk. Apparently, they allowed us to ordered. There wasn't much person inside, so we choose the seat nearby the window. The waiter then handled us the menu, so we began to order.

(Hokubee Rib Eye 200 Grams with Mushroom Sauce)
I ordered the Hokubee Rib Eye (200 Grams) with Mushroom Sauce and Mashed Potato. Hokubee itself is a meat originated from Australia (so we can call it Australian Beef) but with special treatment so the meat is juicier. I prefer my steak to be Medium Well. Because I'd love to see the pink-ish color of the medium well meat. For the taste, it is amazing. The meat was very tender just as I expected to be. The mushroom sauce was savory and the mashed potato was great. Well, I guess I'm lucky enough to have this steak after the Closing Hour. Once again, Thank You Holycow! Steakhouse for the late Hokubee dinner.

Hegemony Coffee & Eatery



Here comes the new and hype Coffee Shop in Rawamangun district, East Jakarta. It is called as "Hegemony Coffee & Eatery". Not only selling coffee, this place also offer various kind of light-meal or some snack. The place itself is also easy to find.


Hegemony consisted of 2 area, indoor and outdoor. I recommend to choose the indoor seats because it was cool and air conditioned. The interior is a little bit shady but comfy enough to work or to study. Woody-themed, and the walls are decorated by several quotes and paintings.







When I came to visit Hegemony, I ordered two kinds of the most-ordered drinks. I ordered the "Green Tea Latte" and "Caffee Latte". I wasn't ordering the meals or snacks because I've had my lunch so I think that I was just going to sit down and enjoy the ambiance.

(Green Tea Latte & Caffee Latte)

The Coffee

My first sip is the "Green Tea Latte". In my opinion, It's not the best way to be served because the consistency is too watery, not thick as normal latte does. The taste of the matcha is a little bit too light, so the milk and cream are covering it. The latte art itself is not too strong and getting blurry  because of the foam which hasn't formed perfectly. A lot of improvements are needed for this latte.



My second one, I started to take my "Caffee Latte". For this latte, I'm quite satisfied. The coffee itself is strong, the foam was thick, and I still can taste the bitterness mixed with creamy taste like the lattes I usually drink. Hands Up for this latte! Recommended!




By the way, I think Hegemony could be one of the most successful Coffee Shop in Rawamangun, if only they could serve the hype-latte better such as the Green Tea Latte or the Red Velvet Latte. And the "Blend in" with the customer are also required to gain customer's respect. Because Coffee is not always for it's taste but it's worth to have for the moments.

Ready to Cook Package From Berrykitchen.com


Berrykitchen recently held an event, an event that Berrykitchen were giving away 1,000 Ready to Cook Packages to their customer via Instagram. The rule is pretty simple, we only need to follow their Instagram Account (@berrykitchen) then follow further instruction. Very simple and unique way to celebrate their motto "Masak Tanpa Ribet".


After following the instruction, I scheduled the delivery time on Monday, 2nd November at 17.00 PM. On the scheduled day, the courier from Berrykitchen handled me the box at my residence. The box was cold, so I think that it contains fresh ingredients. I opened the box and it was so nice that Berrykitchen sent me 2 kinds of their delicate dishes, it is "Seafood Capcay Kuah" and "Chicken Kungpao".


Inside the box, it was not only the Fresh Ingredients, we can also find the recipe for each of the dish and I got myself the Discount Voucher for my next purchases on Berrykitchen. I really appreciate the quality of the package and the recipe is easy to follow. (Even for me...)

The Cooking


First of all, I follow the instruction for the "Seafood Capcay Kuah", the ingredients is a mix of fresh vegetables, squid, prawns, spices, garlic, etc. The cooking time requires 25 minutes. I recommend using 2 different pan, since we should be boiling the vegetables and cook the squid and prawn. At the end, I really love the taste. Not too salty yet strong taste. Easy to make and definitely worth the cooking time. Yummy!


The second one, I tend to make the "Chicken Kungpao". The package itself contain of Spiced Chicken (300 gr), Kungpao Sauce, Pokcoy, and the other ingredients. First of all, we must defrost the spiced chicken before cooking them. It's simple, just put the spiced chicken into warm water but don't open it yet. Put it in the warm water along with the plastic wrap just to defrost the chicken.

The cooking method is also simple from boiling the Pokcoy, then cook the spiced chicken before mixing them all together with the Kungpao sauce. The main point is the finishing phase, we must wait until the Kungpao sauce gets thicker by cooking them longer with small-heat. I love the taste! Oriental flavour which combines the sweet and sour in everybite of the chicken. After plating, put the cashew onto the top of the plate. Recommended dish!


So, this is my final look of the dishes I made from the Ready to Cook package. Both of them looks fantastic and delicious, right? Yumm!







I'm so glad to had a chance to experience the #MasakTanpaRibet with Ready to Cook Packages from Berrykitchen. I'm also looking forward to try another menu from Berrykitchen. Thank you so much for the Package!
