klub icip-icip

Akhirnya...setelah sekian lama berjuang untuk masuk ke blog icip-icip en belajar cara posting, bisa juga :D salam kenal ama gentong, or dipanggil juga bug-ging oleh anggota icip-icip yang lain. Karena Miss Rain belum masukin catetan selama 2 minggu, gentong mengambil alih untuk sementara hehehehe.......

2 minggu kemaren, tepatnya tanggal (sekian-lah, pokoknya hari kamis seperti biasa), klun icip-icip mampir (en tentu mamam) di mie naripan. itu pun setelah lama berpikir, en berbingung-bingung ria mau ke mana. ternyata setelah beberapa bulan tempatnya terbakar, restoran mie naripan sudah berdiri kembali. makanan-makanan yang di pesan adalah: tentu saja mie (yamien asin bwt ci Sanda, en sisanya yang manis), plus baso goreng. mie-nya enak, cuma it's quite expensive. satu mangkok mie komplit harganya teh kalo ngga salah 16 rebuan. alhasil pengeluarannya kembali melebihi budget yang ditentukan :p and it was not end in naripan....

NB: jen-jen punya cara unik buat manggil maz' waitress lho hehehehe.... kalo mau belajar harus bayar biaya les ke klub icip-icip (harga belum ditentukan)..... just kidding....

Pulangnya, ci dedeth ngidam martabak Asan, yang ada di jalan Rama. Klub icip-icip have visited it before. saya belom. yang jualnya encek-encek abiz, tipikal penjual martabak hahaha... walaupun pengeluaran sudah melebihi budget, satisfaction tetep di atas segalanya :D dibeli lah martabak tipis keju, yang satu paketnya berharga 22 rebu. that is quite expensive for me, coz' di deket rumah gentong semua makanannya murah-murah. gpp-lah, enak kok martabaknya. en lagi-lagi gentong harus menghabiskan sisanya....

Kemaren, tepatnya tanggal 23 November 2006, klub icip-icip bertandang ke restoran Vegetarian Chong Chiang (which is my suggestion), yang bertempat di jalan Jendral Sudirman (nomor sekian), deket bank BCA. di sono pesen cap cay seafood (18 rebu), cumi cah saos tiram (22rebu), en cah kangkung hot plate (17 rebu). opkors semuanya vegetarian, en daging-daging-nya adalah buatan. ada sambel terasi boongan pula lho! mmmmm, buat gentong sih....porsinya dikit-dikit...termasuk nasinya...jadi it's again, expensive :p

pulang dari Chong Chiang, klub icip-icip mampir ke rumah gentong! di sana mamam lagi baso goreng, bacang, en keripik singkong. Oya, plus satu martabak tipis susu yang dibeli di depan gang luna, dengan harga 8rebu doank. everyone were stuffed enough after visiting ruma gentong. hehehehe, banyak pose en expresi extraordinary lho. cuma fotonya di-upload nanti aja yaa.... komputernya lagi doedoet pizaaaan.....

C.U Later! Happy Gentong :)

Kalo bingung mau makan di mana pilihan yang tepat adalah makan di chowking yang terdekat. Chowing yang paling deket ama De La salle adalah di Horison. Dulu sih ada satu di depan kampus tapi sehari sesudah Typhoon, tiba- tiba tutup ga tau kenapa, padahal rame banget tuh. Kita- kita disini pikir kayanya kontrak tempatnya naik, biasakan kalo di Indo, harga naik ya pindah. Kalo rindu makan bubur, coba aja Chongee or chinese porridge from Chowking, rasanya enak :), ada beberapa rasa; ayam, meatball, beef, and pork tentu saja, Kalo di Indo makan apapun minumannya pasti Sosro, di sini MAKAN DI MANA PUN, PASTI ADA PORK :). Chowking punya juga cingcau hitam dan buchi atau onde. Buchinya ada yg kaya onde biasa yang ada di mana pun di Indo dan ada juga yang dari UBE or Yam, itu satu lagi ciri khas Manila. Semua di mix ama Ube ....Buchinya enak juga, ga kalah ama onde Indonesia bisalah menyaingi ondenya Grand Eastern.

venue: lantern fun-tastic di lapangan bola batununggal
time: thursday 2 november evening
members: minus fuk ing but plus onik

lantern festival ini menyenangkan sekali!!! setelah nyampe jam 5 an di rumah jean2 maen game dulu yg bikin kata2 begitu sampe gelap lalu kita semua 'mengantar' onik, jean2's cute little sister, ke festival lentera. masuknya bayar 20rb but it's totally worth it. sejak pertama masuk aja udah ... wow ... kalo kata hemingway seh 'a clean well-lighted place' plus open air dan pokonya indah aja deh. i love it. ada banyak karakter disney yang dibuat menjadi lampion, salah satunya pooh kesayangan jean2 dan onik. ada juga little mermaid, kereta cinderella, alice in wonderland, etc, etc, etc.

onik ternyata maniak foto ... ga menyangka karna awalnya malu-malu. tp makin malam makin berani ... hehehe ... 'Ci, aku mau difoto di sini dan di sana,' katanya. dan gayanya dunk ... asik skali. cicinya seh jelas kelewat ^____^ setelah difotoin sana sini trus pas pulang salah satu fotonya dicetak di yonas foto dan diikutkan lomba. semoga menang =P *keep fingers crossed*


setelah jalan2 dan foto2, semua lapar dan memutuskan makan bubur YuYu di tenda makanan. aku sebetulnya lg mengalami gangguan pencernaan tapi, kan kapan lagi makan bubur YuYu waktu festival lentera. ci deth yg udah makan 8 tahu tegal aja sampe makan lagi. akhirnya pulang jam 8 malem, jalan kaki ke rumah jean2. onik kecapean tapi kita semua (me, to be more precise) bahagia banget. ga tau knapa, rasanya seneng sekali aja malam ini bisa ke festival. waktu jalan di batununggal somehow rasanya seperti lagi liburan di pangandaran ^______^

That's maybe what I can conclude after watching The Prestige. In addition, a man without food ohhhhhhh horrible :P because of the ALL SAINTS day, our Campus was closed. Well it was not only our campus but most of the shops were closed, Even the mall of asia was just opened at 12, thus Rizki, Agus, and I had to wait outside the mall. Tempat makan yang buka sekitar mall cuma MACDO and a small pizza place. Thus, we eat and drank in that place, the thin pizza was nice. While we were eating, we found out that The banquet was not anymore played there, Agus got a wrong information from the television, It seemed that the Tv commercial was "late" That was what Agus told us. thus instead of going back home, we chose to see the Prestige (well actually I was the one who had to choose the movie, the men were afraid of making another mistake and hoping I made a mistake so that they could blame me (being PIKO :P), I am so happy I made a good choice, no one can blame me he8

After watching the movie, once again we had no place to eat, most of the places were closed near our campus. We should have eaten in the mall. But well we were lucky enough to find that KENNY ROGERS was opened and this time I brought my camera with me. The spagetti enakkkkkkkkkkkkkk, ayamnya enakkkkkkkk, cuma kasian ada yang dapet salad buah yang asem tuh.

In order to prove that He was right and the Tv was wrong, Mr. Agus took a picture of the tv commercial about The Banquet show time, but well I have not seen it and It was ok since The Prestige was a great movie. Moreover, According to Grace and Helena that we met at 7.30 that day (yesterday 1 Nov 06) The prestige was much better than The Banquet. Oh yah we met Grace and Helena in Pizza Hut, I tried the tropical fizz. And it was just ok.

Finally, we can meet Irene :),teman seangkatan "99" yang udah mendahului kita dari 2 tahun yang lalu tinggal di Manila. Ga nyangka setelah lulus dan ga pernah ketemu skarang malah ketemu di Manila. We had lunch together in Dusit.Then while waiting for the movie "WTC" we ate again in Starbucks; Rizki had a usually drink "frappucino", and a bread that I forgot the name; Irene ate a slice of chocolate cake, and I tried a coffee brownish and a banana cake. The coffee brownish is delicious but for the banana cake, Indonesian banana cake is better. Surprisingly, someone was crying in the middle of the movie, fortunatelly it was not Fenty and of course it was not because of Fenty :).

Hari lebaran kita dapat makan-makan gratis dua kali makan siang dan malem, siang di wakil dubes, malem di rumah pa dubes . Sementara nunggu makan malam kita-kita pada jalan-jalan di Greenbelt, setelah liat-liat buku di Power Books yang mirip kaya QB di Indo, kita nyobain Cafe Chocolate Bar, cafenya kecil kaya starbucks. Speciallitynya yahh chocolate kaya Du Chocolla (lupa nulisnya ) smoga bener. Harganya mahal bo, so Rizki, Agus dan gw mesen yang sama Chocolate Banana, rasanya enak dehhhhhh and the unique part is all the waiters are bald :) I thought it's only the "semboyan" ehhh taunya emang pada bald, although ga smua bener bald banget, masih ada yang cepak :)

The plan was to go to Katipunan (metro Manila tempatnya Helena and Grace). However, since Metta was sick, rencana dibatalkan (sorry ci Helena) dan dirubah jadi makan di Glorieta. Finally, I tried the mouth watering mango split yang sudah kebawa-bawa ke mimpi :) it tasted so YUMMY the mango was great and so fress, the ice cream was delicious. Mango spilt is definetely better than banana split.

From glorieta food court, We continued to Dusit, a fine thailand restaurant. Although the food is not as delicious as the one Sandra, Rizki, and I ate in Pataya, we still love eating there. It was the third time, we went there and guess what we always have the same food; tom yung and a plate of kangkung :)

maybe next time, we will try another menu
