Oxtail Soup – Sup Buntut Al Hijrah

This is the best oxtail soup in my city. Oxtail soup or sup buntut from Al Hijrah restaurant is very famous for its fantastic taste. They also serve other soup like rib soup and meat soup. Its just the price is not that cheap, almost $2,5 per portion with rice included. But its really worth it. Very refreshing especially when its served hot in rainy day. The red chili sauce to enhance the taste is perfect.

They have 3 branches, but last time I tried their small restaurant in front of Pass Car Workshop near the gas station at Jl. Demang Lebar Daun. During the lunch hour the place would be crowded with workers.

The fries to accompany the oxtail soup are : fried lung/ liver, fried mashed potato, various types of fried tempe and tahu/ tofu.

Breakfast at Office Anniversary Day

Meatball & Chicken Porridge

Steamed Banana & Red Cassava Green Bean Porridge

Our office anniversary was held on last 4th October 2009, all employees were gathered by 6 am in the morning at regional office. We had 30 minutes mass aerobic led by Mrs. Mesach, a reputable fitness instructor in my city. It was a drizzly morning and most people hesitated to move their ass.

After the aerobic, we attacked the food stall for breakfast. There were 4 types of food to choose : meatball, chicken porridge, green bean porridge and steamed banana & cassava. I couldn’t choose one so I tried all of them.

Just like previous years, the breakfast food stall became self service counter at the end. To get a bowl of chicken porridge, you need an extra energy to compete with other hungry people. Take a look at the pictures below, see how uncontrollable the situation was….hehe….

This is the chicken porridge counter, that was my hand taking the red chili sauce bowl.

Other hands around me were people trying to add some fried onion, parsley and fried soy bean for their porridge.

Hunter Steak at Eat Cafe

As written on previous post (link here), we had our office farewell at Eat Cafe and Resto. The cafe open from 7 pm to 10 pm. Their menu consist of various steaks, spaghetti, teppanyaki, noodles, fried rice, burgers, sandwiches, juices and smoothies. They also provide live music and free wifi for internet connection.

We ordered The Hunter Steak, as they said its their best steak menu. I forgot the price but it was almost Rp. 40.000,- equal to $ 4,5. The portion is big enough, steak beef poured over the tasty sauce, with 2 mashed potato which fried looks like big mushroom, sausage, onion rings, macaroni and stewed vegetables salad. In general, the steak is not bad. Maybe I’ll come back later to try their other steaks menu.
