Beberapa hari lalu, aku dan suami ngayal bareng tentang makanan apa yang paling dikangenin di tempat tinggal kami masa kuliah dulu, Guangzhou. 

Guangzhou sangat terkenal dengan surga makanan. Hampir di setiap pelosok tempat ada aja makanan enak. Mulai dari street food, warung makanan sampai restoran pasti menyediakan makanan-makanan yang menggugah selera. 

Eat in Guang Zhou: 其美 潮州鱼蛋粉 (Qi Mei Chao Zhou Fish Balls)

This is maybe a late post. Two weeks ago, I went to Beijing Road again and again (I think this is my favorite place to go during the summer break) after I helped Sastika to pick her up and her family from their holiday trip. I was craving for meatballs that day, and the best meatballs restaurant is in Beijing Road (or Beijing Lu usually we call in Mandarin). This is another meatball dish that I've posted here, but also origins from Chaozhou. This place serves one thing that I can't found anywhere in Guangzhou. They have famous fried-fish skin! 

our waiting number

don't you think this looks very very... delicious?

okay, lets zoommmmm in! recognize the fried-fish-skin already? NOM NOM

and the most important for me every time I eat here, I always put the special sauce on the bowl. The sauce tastes almost like peanut sauce (saus kacang), I know not everyone likes to add this sauce to their bowl, but this is my very favorite! the sauce cup is on each table, so I (YOU!) can add FREELY to your bowl! 

Writing this post makes me want to eat them again for lunch! Last Friday, my friend, Agret and her sister stayed in Guangzhou for a few days. I took her and her sister to Beijing Lu to have these meatballs. And guees what, THEY LOVE IT! They love the fried fish skin too! Later if you visit Guangzhou, don't forget to find me then I will take you to eat this (:

Anyway, bonus pictures of the night view in Beijing Road. I think this is very beautiful.

The crowded night.

This is the last week I'll spend my summer break. I will start my new semester next week and also move to our new dorm building this Saturday! So, have a great Monday, guys. God bless (:

Eat in Guang Zhou - Spicy Sour Fish!

I'm back again for another foods porn! There are still 21 days for my challenges?? See, I'm still the bad one! I'm still the lazy one! Okay stop complaining about myself, let's see what I'm gonna show you guys here. 

I should post these pictures past weeks ago, but refers to the reason that I mention in the previous post, I delayed it. Weeks ago, Sastika asked me to go eat something good for dinner, she said she's getting bored in the dorm, so she is better going outside. I didn't have any idea to eat, and finally we both decided to have "酸菜鱼" (read: suan cai yu - it's a spicy sour fish *ohh I had a bad bad translation*) after you see this pictures, you know what I mean, hahaha! 

Got it? Yap, that's it a BIG bowl of that spicy-sour-fish and we finished it them all just by ourselves! Err... Sastika was giving up at the end actually, she couldn't take it anymore, hahaha! But I was still trying to finish it, hey it is 28 Yuan of big bowl whole fish in it, wasting food is a bad habit, kids :P And we ordered something sweet for neutralizing our mouth after demolishing the spicy-sour-fish (whoaa, I am getting love to say that in english!). 

Japanese Tofu Hot-Pot. This is yummy!

I just changed my blog header yesterday, I was thinking to change the whole blog. The template, color, anything. It has been a year since I used this template so I thought it's better to change something fresh. Any idea, guys? For the header, I asked one of my friends to make it for me. I hope you can see the new header again (: 

Eat in Guang Zhou: 金家园 (Jin Jia Yuan)

Guangzhou's weather was very hot yesterday. SO HOT. I got a terrible headache but I am okay now. A glass of vitamin c helps me to get better. Me and boyfriend had Korean dishes for our lunch yesterday. Basically, I don't really like Korean dishes, it tastes different from other Asian food I tried (is it only me or you think so too?) But no in this place. The restaurant located not far from my boyfriend's university. I think they cook in a different way, I am not sure.

 Korean popular dishes Naengmyeon, literally means cold noodles, serve with a boiled egg. 

I heard that Naengmyeon is quite a popular summer dish in Korea. Because it suitable for hot summer days. Well, it tastes good but it's hard to swallow. Feels like stuck on my throat. I felt bad I didn't finish it, so sorry ): Lesson today: never order what you aren't going to eat it.

Delicious Squid Rice, I supposed to order this! This belongs to boyfie, btw. 

Spicy Rice Cake, or in Korean is Tteokbokki 떡볶이 This is my favoriteeeeeeee!
The only dishes that I finished LOL

Anyway, GOOD NEWS. The last Harry Potter Deathly Hallows part 2 FINALLY will be shown in Guangzhou theater on 4th August! My royal piano exam is on the 3rd, so I guess I will have a refreshing day after it. Please remind me to bring a box of tissue, because I know I will cry hard (': 

Eat in Guang Zhou: "I am not very hungry."

I woke up earlier today without any reason... well, actually yeah I have a reason. I want to have McDonald's breakfast this morning, but I didn't set the alarm to wake me up last night. The breakfast packet only from 06:00-11:00 AM, so I just got up and rushed to McD immediately. Thanks God McDonald counter is near my school building, it's exactly near by the Hongkong restaurant I posted here. It was 08:30 and I got home with my yummy breakfast.

Because of the breakfast reason, I didn't eat much for my lunch. I will have meat on my plate casually, but for that afternoon I only had eggplant rice for my lunch. I felt so healthy when I ate this, hahaha! I don't really eat vegetables before and I hate eggplant the most, but since I live in Guangzhou, I eat any kind of vegetables, amazing huh? My mom will be so happy if she knows about this.

it doesn't really like an eggplant right? this is so delicious!


This is kinda a spicy pork thing, I tell you... very very SPICY!

And by night, I had Chinese food too for dinner. I don't know why I was not too hungry all this day, I ate a portion of chicken rice with black pepper sauce, I could finish them all usually, but for today nope.

Did you spot the chicken meat? Okay, let's have a zoom! 

Sorry for the blurry caps, one of the waiters stared at me while I'm just taking out the camera from my bag. Why are you so serious, heh? 

By the way, I'm getting bored here. I couldn't find any part-time job while still doing things every day: wake up, watch movies/dramas, eat, watch again or internet surfing, then back to bed. 

BORINGGGG...

Eat in Guang Zhou - Simple Eat

We had a late lunch today. I was so hungry and I almost forget to take my food picture until my boyfriend reminded me of that, hahaha. We went to my boyfriend campus area, I just love to have my lunch there, they have my favorite things to eat, especially these all that I will post below!

I had meatballs again for my lunch, hahaha! But this is different, this food is Chaozhou's specialty, Chaozhou is a city in Eastern Guangdong province. I knew this place from my boyfriend, he loves to eat her almost every time before class, dan kebetulan emang deket banget dengan kampus doi. And FYI, his family are 潮州人 too, so maybe this is the another reason :P

You can pick any kind of meatballs and another addition you want when order, they also have different prices, according to what you ordered. Oh, and... all of the meatballs are homemade (:

this is the special thing that I love, Fish Skin Dumpling!
I always have this whenever I eat here, hahaha

After lunch, we decided to grab our favorite drinks from 58 du! 

58C (or we call 58度 "58 du") is a milk tea counter, but I don't usually buy their milk tea. Instead, I always buy this. 

This is Honey Green Tea "蜂蜜绿茶", promise me if you have a chance to visit 58C next time, don't forget to try this one! Summer drink approved! 

And quick post for the dinner are:

The first picture is fried noodles with salty fish and the second one is dumpling dish. This kind of fried noodle reminds me to "mie tek-tek" in Jakarta, hahahaha. 

Eat in Guang Zhou: From Dragon Hole to IKEA

Sorry before I missed the post for day 3, I was very tired on that day so I couldn't post up the pictures here. So here is, I will show you today! 

I went to a place called "龙洞" (read: Long Dong - literally means dragon hole, hahaha!) for lunch and bought some various snacks there. I used to love to visit this place in the first semester to buy some clothes (they're so cheap!), but now I love this place because they have kind of foods, especially for 小吃 (xiao chi - means snacks or 'jajanan kecil') options. I went to a food stand which sells Macau Noodle, which basically a fried noodle dish, but with a different taste. It's very good! Too bad I forgot to take the picture of the noodle, I was so excited (and hungry) to eat it, so yeah no pictures of this QQ noodle. 

Still wanting some more for the belly, I also bought another snack and this is one of the most favorite snack too! I don't know how to say in English, but they sell something like 'gorengan', there are some options like fried-squids, fried-sweet potato, fried chicken, and chicken pops (I LOVE CHICKEN POPS!). 

cute food paper bag :D


this is the chicken pops with black pepper, YUM!

After that, me with boyfriend went to a fast-food restaurant to eat fried chicken (not again! :P). I told you, this is the famous place to eat the best chicken in Longdong, hahaha. My boyfriend is a big fan of chicken so he loves this place :D

nyum nyum! fresh from the oven! :D


it's a very hot and BIG chicken, and this is the way you eat it!

***

Today, me with boyfriend, Sastika and Ko Darius went to the salon for a hair cut. Sastika decided to cut her long-curly hair to short hair and she looks cute and fresh in her new hair cut! Well, she was a bit sad to say goodbye with her long hair, but the good thing about hair is they always grow back. Don't worry, you look cute kok, Sas! 

After done with the hair things, I asked them if they want to go to IKEA for lunch or not. I'm always thinking about the famous meatballs in IKEA, and fortunately, they have 50% for the meatballs!

creamy sauce, cranberry sauce, yummy mash potatoes and MEATBALLS!

We also had fruit for dessert

Yes finally I got you, meatballs! Hahahaha *too excited*

Okay, I'm getting enjoy to do this 30 days challenges, wish me luck until the very last day! :D

Eat in Guangzhou: Another 'Hongkong'

Okay, it's a lame title, but what I will show you below something related to Hongkong (again).

Remember that I've mentioned before in this post about one of the Hongkong restaurant near my school? I had my dinner today there. I'm not really hungry so I just ate this delicious mian (kagak laper tapi makan karbo!). 

It tastes ALMOST like Indomie! But this is like another level hahahaha there were couple sausages and eggs on top of the noodle, really YUM! Actually, this is my favorite order when the winter season came. 

Oh, I don't really sure it should be day two or day three, but there was a bonus post so I think this should be "day two". Enjoyyyyy! Slruppp!

Eat in Guang Zhou: Pizza Mania

So we went to Saizeria for lunch. What is Saizeria? It's a place where you can enjoy pizza, any kind of pasta and quick bites such as chicken wings, sausage and so much more. And also you can enjoy free-flow beverages. The prices are so affordable. There are plenty of friends who throw a small birthday lunch/dinner in this place. This is my favorite place to eat pasta! I don't really like pizza but sometime I will order it too. So these are what I ordered for our lunch. 

Chef's recommended! Margherita Pizza


Chicken Pops.
my favorite *love*


this is what my boyfriend ordered, Spaghetti with Spinach.
Taste not bad (:


and this is what I ordered, Seafood Doria!

So this is for the first day of my challenges. I have to go leave Guangzhou tomorrow for two days so I made this post. I'll be back for another post, okay? (:

Anyway, thanks my bb Sastika for her camera! She lent me her camera for this project, haha! :*
