Backstage : Karoong Indonesia at 1001 IDE

One of Surabaya based local brands, Karoong Indonesia which focus on handmade clothing using local material, had joined an exhibition named 1001 IDE yesterday to perform their collections. The exhibition itself is for introduce people about many kinds work by the young generation. Not only clothing, there also artwork and some communities stand. The exhibition took place at Ciputra World Surabaya.

And I was joining the show too with my girl Raysa. About a week behind they asked me to join the show, and course I said yes. It was a great show, and made me in love more with tenun fabric. Their products has fine tailoring and course comfortable to wear.

There were four local designers who joined the show. So there were four sessions, and I walked for three of them. Backstage just so crowded because time run so fast, and we needed to change the clothes for the other session. But thanks God everything went well.

Last afternoon cooking time

These all raw ingredients turned into western dishes by me and my girls, Melinda and Melina, at cooking time with our great talented Chef Vica yesterday. In western food they oftentimes use something creamy and made from milk.

Prepared to fillet the chicken and did the one of the crucial part, spread the seasoning in order to give more taste to the chicken itself.

Me and Melinda while prepare the chicken schnitzel before fried it.

And we made the mushroom cream sauce for serving with the chicken schnitzel.
Apologize for the uncompleted photos of all steps, even we was busy to take picture for the other menu which is Chicken cordon bleu. And I can't make a good narration for introducing the steps of dishes that we've already cooked.

And voila....

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU SERVED WITH MASHED POTATOES AND VEGIE

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL SERVED WITH MUSHROOM CREAM SAUCE, VEGIE, AND MASHED POTATOES.

LONGAN TEA , tea mixed with longan, nata de coco, and basil seed.

Perhaps it could be an inspiration for you.
What a perfect choice menus for dinner which cooked by yourself :)

True Friends

We sign our cards and letters BFFYou've got a million ways to make me laughYou're lookin' out for me, you've got my backSo good to have you around

You know the secrets I could never tellAnd when I'm quiet you break through my shellDon't feel the need to do a rebel yell'Cause you keep my feet on the ground

You're a true friendYou're here till the endYou pull me aside when something ain't rightTalk with me now and into the night'Til it's alright againYou're a true friend

You don't get angry when I change the plansSomehow you're never out of second chancesWon't say "I told you" when I'm wrong againI'm so lucky that I've found

A true friendYou're here till the endYou pull me aside when something ain't rightTalk with me now and into the night'Til it's alright again

True friends will go to the ends of the earthTill they find the things you needFriends hang on through the ups and the downsCause they've got someone to believe in

A true friendYou're here till the endYou pull me aside when something ain't rightTalk with me now and into the nightNo need to pretendYou're a true friend

Words from True Friend's lyrics (Hannah Montana)

This cough really killing me, feeling bad today. Bedrest all day long gonna be a boring activity, except get in touch with your notebook and good internet connection. Browsing gorgeous stuff, get inspired, new trend of this season, and browsing what the things inside your notebook.

I found so many picture of mine, my girls, and others since few years ago. I just don't believe that time really go fast, feel like yesterday I was a thin and short girl, but today I am ME, taller and not really thin anymore.

Seeing pictures of me and my girls really touching me at all, miss every second I spend with them, people who I really trust. We have spent incredible moment together, sadness till happiness.

Many year passed. Now we studies in difference city, Surabaya, Jakarta, Singapore even Melbourne.

But hometown is our best place to spend togehter with happy heart.

Those words is from lyrics of True Friend, one of Hannah Montana song. Yeah, I was one of her fans, watched that tv show daily when I was in JHS. Fun serial and give many lesson of life.

I adore you much girls, Evelyn, Jenica, Melina, Melinda, Shierly, Vica, and Yovani :*

Dinner and Ice Cream

Hunting for delicious food on one-row-night with my girls! They are Jenica, Shierly, Melinda and Melina. It was fun when we were looking for some sweet taste after we had our dinner. Escargot, steak steak steak, and ice cream & cake for the final touch. Had our dinner at Vinnete Steak House then we drove to an ice cream house near it, Gourmand. I'm the girl who love ice cream much, really feel like I'm in good mood. It was one of my hang out with the girls in June.
