Alien Space Babe

I am struggling with my own confidence. Once i started to think to diactivate all my social media accounts,...i really just want to go out from social media bullshits. But i think, i need to able to stand up more because i do work in this social media platform. Social media is somehow full of judgmental statement from strangers who are not even knowing us in real life. 

I am also having a skin breakout lately. I just feel lose my own confident after one of friend talks about my break out skin. I really need to go to dermatologist over and over again which is not affordable at all. It's so hard being a girl.

Lately, i am just feeling bad about my self. I need to see more good sides about my self. Sadly i  don't. In this few weeks, i always see some bad things about my self. Duh.

My Journey in Jakarta - Enjoy The Real Coffee at Watt Coffee Jakarta


Location : Watt Coffee - Jalan Kwitang Raya No.14, Senen, Jakarta Pusat

OPEN : 8AM - 8PM

Yes, another new place to enjoy your break or weekend with signature coffee(s) or modern type of coffee(s). This is my first time trying to visit this coffee shop called Watt Coffee. Probably you still feel curious about this coffee shop, that's the reason why i write a review about this amazing comfy place. I hope all of you can enjoy reading it or you probably started to mesmerizing these pictures.

 (Red Velvet Latte and Cappucino)


 (Green Tea Latte and Banana Crumble)




 (Banana Crumble)






I went here with my friend, Kenny Djo. I actually asked Lisa few days ago but she said,...she couldn't come because another event. Here, i really need to say and i need to admit that i am not a coffee expert here. But as a ordinary blogger, i know that every food or drink is going to be great if it's good aka delicious enough. I can find that thng in this little coffee shop. I got 4 types of coffee and one Banana Crumble.

Definitely, me and Kenny enjoyed all of those above. Still,... we have our own favorites. I really love the Red Velvet Latte. (didn't feel sweet or bitter). It was coming exactly the same as my expectation since i saw the Red Velvet Latte at their instagram account. IT WAS AMAZING! About the cappucino or other latte are also good but i think i really do love Red Velvet Latte. It's also being their most customers' favorite latte. 

**)A note for people who can't drink original coffees :
If you can't drink a latte without sugar, well you probably need to ask for it. The signature Latte and Cappucino taste originally a little bit bitter.

Kenny really fell in love with the Green Tea Latte (biar kekinian), lol just kidding. It was also amazing. Also, both of us love the Banana Crumble. The real bananas were exactly in there. Like "oh this is a fresh banana crumble!"

We spent our time probably one and a half hour. Chit chat, eat, drink, chit chat, and it came around just like that. We took many pictures to showing you guys now via this blog post. Started from 3PM (as we experienced) way more people usually are coming around the afternoon - evening  ,... they usually come to enjoy coffee(s) or just hold a small meeting with friends or even clients.

About the interior. It's soooo artsy (if that's even a single word to describe this place). I took a seat on the sofa (because i wanted to chill and took many photos as i could. lol.)

So this is the summary of all my thoughts about this coffee shop where you can find a lot of signature coffees or modern coffees (such as green tea, red velvet, and another various flavors)

---

POSITIVE :
+ Quite affordable especially if you are still a student.
+ Such a comfy place.
+ The interior is amazing! So instagram-able.
+ All foods or drinks are perfectly amazing! (either those are coming to your table in an artsy way or taste delicious.)
+ The room lighting it's not too dark or even too light. A nice place to sit, relax, chill, and enjoy your time.
+ WiFi available duh! (everyone needs this)
+ A nice place to bring your friends, clients, or even your small family.

NEGATIVE :
- In the evening there are so many people coming, especially on the weekend. So if you don't get your seat inside, probably you can choose to booked the outdoor seat. But i think this is not a big problem at all.

Thank you for the invitation to this amazing place, nice service, food and drinks.

My Journey to Central Java - Solo Culinary Destinations



Today, i am not going to share about fashion post. It's the time for me to update a new post about foods yey! Another chance to write travel post on my blog. Yes, traveling is changing my way to think about something and learn to face something new. I am going to share about culinary destinations in Solo.

Surakarta or Solo is my mom's hometown. That's why our family love to discover more about this little city. Not really little in general but Jakarta is definitely war larger than Solo. Solo is famous as culinary destination for locals or foreigners who visit Solo. There are so many culinary destinations. From small culinary destinations - high end culinary destinations.

1. BAKSO NYAMAN 3
Solo Baru




 Bakso Siomay

Probably you easily judge place like this because it's just a small culinary destination at Solo Baru. You wrong guys, their foods are AMAZING! The owner is Chinese Javanese. When i visited this place, a little boy helped her mom out to prepare all the things which we ordered. 

Those foods are so freaking affordable too. Maybe some of you might think "how come?? they are selling meatballs and those foods cost around $1.2 / bowl" If you buy this kind of thing at Jakarta, you wouldn't get the same price as well la. It's easier for people in Solo to find ingredients to cook rather than in a big city Jakarta. 

I recommend "Bakso Siomay" it's freaking delicious! [Siomay is fish dumpling, if you are asian you easily discover this thing almost everywhere.] I ordered 2 bowls of Bakso Siomay only for my self. YASH!

2. SHI JACK & NASI LIWET BU SARMI
Solo







These 2 culinary destinations are located side by side. Shi Jack served hot or cold fresh milk with various flavors such as chocolate, strawberry, ordinary white fresh milk, and so on. 

Nasi Liwet Bu Sarmi served a fresh hot Nasi Liwet Solo the traditional meal from Solo. Nasi Liwet consists of hot rice, chicken meat, egg, and sayur labu siam or in english would be called as chayote with santan soup [santan made from coconut]. Nasi Liwet Solo Bu Sarmi served in a small plastic plate with a clean banana leaf (your food smells so good with it). Don't forget to eat it with Kerupuk Kulit [ from wikipedia : (Javanese: rambak or Minangkabau: karupuak jangek, lit:"skin crackers") is a traditional Indonesian cattle skin krupuk (cracker).]

I don't have a full photo of my own Nasi Liwet Bu Sarmi, so here it is the sample picture...


3. Olive Kitchen
Solo









Another small place with affordable and delicious foods. My favorite is definitely Selat Solo, the javanese version of SALAD. My fresh Selat Solo served with the sweet ice tea. Such a nice companion in a hot day. Selat Solo is also being a great meal if you are on diet.

Not only selling Selat Solo, Olive Kitchen also selling another variations of javanese and western foods. How amazing is that? I felt really lucky because it was on weekend (still in the early morning 7.30 am), so i didn't meet a long queue of customers.

---

How do you feel? Hungry? Yes, me too. That's why you need to visit Solo as soon as possible. Because Solo is really famous for being the most epic culinary destination.
