Wine Halal Tabak

AMSTERDAM (Berita SuaraMedia) – Taner Tabak (35) telah berusaha memperoleh sertifikat Wine putih halal selama dua tahun, dan kini ia telah berhasil. "Kevserhelalwine" miliknya lolos tes dan mendapat sertifikat halal dari Kontrol Kualitas Halal (Halal Quality Control – HQC).

Pencarian Tabak akan anggur dengan kadar alkohol 0% dilakukan atas permintaan kaum Muslim. Pada pertemuan setiap hari Jumat, mereka tidak dapat minum bersama kolega dan teman-teman dan sebuah "Wine halal" dapat menjadi solusi bagi persoalan itu.

Tabak mempelajari proses pembuatan Wine bebas alkohol. Melalui sebuah proses teknis baru, yang membuatnya mendapatkan hak paten, Tabak, bekerjasama dengan sebuah perusahaan Jerman, berhasil membuat Wine bebas alkohol. Tabak mengatakan memang telah ada minuman Wine yang dikatakan bebas alkohol, namun mereka tidak lolos tes halal HQC karena masih mengandung sedikit alkohol.

HQC memiliki banyak syarat sebelum mereka memberikan sebuah sertifikat pada suatu produk. Sebuah permintaan tambahan untuk memperoleh sertifikat contohnya adalah peraturan higienis. Mereka mengerjakannya di bawah konsultasi dengan HQC. Tabak mengatakan, "Wine halal tidak dibuat begitu saja!"

Kelompok sasaran Tabak bukan hanya kaum Muslim, melainkan lebih luas lagi. "Yang juga menjadi sasaran saya adalah para wanita hamil, mereka yang terkena diabetes, mereka yang harus menyetir setelah menghadiri sebuah pesta dan karena itu tidak bisa minum alkohol dan sebagainya."

Di antara koleksi Tabak adalah Wine merah, putih, dan mawar, juga Wine yang berat. Ia yakin akan kelezatan rasa Wine nya dan baru-baru ini menantang seorang ahli Wine Nicolaas Klei untuk datang dan mencicipi anggurnya.

Nama kevser merujuk pada sebuah surat di Al Quran, jelas Tabak. Surat itu berbicara tentang Wine halal.

Tabak tidak khawatir akan penjualan Wine - nya. Negara-negara seperti Malaysia, Azerbaijan, Dubai, dan bahkan Arab Saudi telah menunjukkan ketertarikannya, ujar Tabak dengan antusias.

Tabak menjual Kevserhelalwine melalui perusahaan miliknya, Talay Wine Company, dengan harga rata-rata 6-7 euro (Rp. 90.000 – 100.000).

"Kami telah mengubah yang haram menjadi halal. Wine yang berasa seperti Wine tapi benar-benar bebas alkohol, dan kami memproduksinya," ujar Tabak.

Wine halal buatan Tabak bukan satu-satunya minuman beralkohol yang tidak mengandung alkohol. Tahun lalu, di Perancis diproduksi Chamalal, sampanye halal. Seperti sampanye pada umumnya, minuman ini juga terbuat dari Wine dan bergelembung, namun bebas alkohol.

Diluncurkan pada bulan September, tepat menjelang bulan suci Ramadhan tahun 2008, Chamala terbukti berhasil diterima di negara asal sampanye itu. Tidak ada satu acara pun yang akan lengkap tanpa kehadirannya.
Versi halal gelembung sampanye ini dijual dengan harga sekitar 60 euro (Rp. 900.000) per botol di beberapa restoran, namun jauh lebih murah jika membelinya di supermarket.

Penemu Chamalal, Rachid Gacem, mengatakan bahwa ia melihat adanya celah dalam pasar minuman beralkohol.

"Ketika saya datang ke pesta dan semua orang meminum alkohol, seperti sampanye, mereka seringkali menanyakan apakah saya mau minum satu gelas. Tapi kami (Muslim) tidak minum alkohol. Karena saya ingin menjadi bagian dari pesta, saya ingin meminum sesuatu yang seperti sampanye, tapi bukan sampanye."
Menanggapi minuman tersebut, tak semua Muslim lantas setuju. Beberapa di antara pemeluk Islam mempertanyakan bahkan meragukan kandungan isi Cham'alal. Seperti komentar-komentar di situs berita online yang menulis tentang peluncuran Cham'alal, yang salah satunya berbunyi, "Apakah itu benar-benar minuman Wine berkarbonasi?".

Crazy Whooper

Burger King Japan is bringing global warming home this summer... home for dinner! Hot on the heels of the wildly successful Angry Whopper, the fast food giant is set to roll out a burger that makes the AW seem as cute as Hello Kitty. It's called the "Crazy Whopper", and anyone crazy enough to try it can do so starting on Friday, July 23rd of 2010.

What's so crazy about the Crazy Whopper? The peppers are the point. The Angry Whopper gets its heat from green Jalapeno chili peppers, which rate about 5,000 on the Scoville scale. That sounds pretty high but so's the scale: pure Capsaicin scores 15 to 16 million.

Habanero peppers rate up to 500,000 and topping the list for cultivated peppers is India's Bhut Jolokia, the dreaded Ghost Chili. The Guinness World Records folks certified Bhut Jolokia as the world's hottest pepper in 2007, rating some cultivars at a searing 1,000,000 Scoville units! Now that's hot... fries with that?

No one assumes Burger King Japan will be layering slices of Ghost Chili peppers onto their whoppers come July 23rd. Instead, it's likely that some unspecified amount of Bhut Jolokia extract will be infused into a sauce that, while certainly peppery, won't be sending patrons into convulsions or causing them to spontaneously combust.

All BK-J will say for the time being is that the Crazy Whopper will be 30 times spicier than the Angry Whopper. Get your 570 yen (about $6.35) ready and bring LOTS of water. (via Japan Today, JPABC.net and Chokoball Cafe)

Lezatnya Rujak Ice cream

Di kota kelahiran saya, Yogyakarta, makanan yang satu ini gampang ditemukan, Rujak Ice cream. Racikan menu khas kota gudeg ini sebenarnya sederhana. Sepiring rujak berisi berbagai macam buah seperti mangga, bengkoang, pepaya, dan mentimun. Lalu, di atasnya di taruh Ice cream. Jangan dibayangkan ice cream - nya selembut es krim Walls atau Campina. Ice cream di atas rujak ini sekelas es puter. Tapi, rasanya mantap. Enak dan segar.

Manis gula jawa dan pedas dari bumbu rujak, bercampur dengan manis dari rasa susu ice cream, ditambah rasa asam dari mangga muda dan buah-buahan lainnya. Benar-benar merupakan paduan yang unik. Apalagi dinikmati saat cuaca panas. Hmm..bikin ketagihan!

Di Yogyakarta, Rujak ice cream ini biasa dijajakan dengan gerobak dorong dan mudah ditemui ditempat-tempat yang dekat dengan komplek sekolah, perkantoran atau perumahan.

Di antara sekian banyak penjaja rujak ini, ada satu penjual yang menjadi langganan saya. Letaknya di Pogung Baru Jalan Kaliurang km 4. Kalau dari arah selatan (dari arah bundaran UGM ), gang terakhir sebelum pompa bensin Jalan Kaliurang Km.4, masuk sekitar 500 meter.

Meski hanya warung sederhana, namun cukup nyaman. Sebab, disediakan gubuk bambu yang teduh dengan meja-meja pendek. Rujaknya juga baru dibikin setelah ada pesanan.

Di samping itu, pembeli bisa menentukan sendiri kadar kepedasannya. Mau cabai satu, tiga, sepuluh, bebas saja. Harganya juga murah kok. Cukup dengan Rp 2.500 per porsi, sepiring rujak es krim siap dinikmati.

Warung ini terbilang laris. Pada jam-jam tertentu, seperti jam makan siang atau jam 16.00 WIB,pembeli juga harus rela mengantri. Saya yakin rujak ice cream bisa menjadi salah satu alternatif pilihan makanan yang dicoba (Mmm...sayangnya tidak bisa dijadikan oleh-oleh!)

Enaknya makan di Abuba

Hampir dua tahun saya tidak mencicipi Steak favorit ini. Akhirnya minggu lalu, saya pun berangkat untuk kembali mencicipi menu favorit satu ini, rasanya waow...... tetap tidak berubah meski saya sudah menjadi pelanggan tetapnya selama 13 tahun....! Rasanya tetap aduhai..... apalagi dengan campuran sayuran dan kentang gorengnya. Jangan tanya deh.... saya bisa egois makan sendiri !. hmmmhhh........

Seperti biasa saya memesan menu favorit Sirloin Steak, sementara suami saya memesan Tenderloin Steak.

Seingat saya terakhir kali makan di Abuba itu sudah sangat lama sekali, sekitar setahun lalu, jadi ketika makanan datang, kami langsung menyantapnya, dan rasa steak-nya masih sama seperti yg dulu, bahkan lebih enak menurut saya. Mak Nyuss sekali rasanya, seperti kata Bondan Winarno.

Daging yang dimasak sudah sangat matang dan dihidangkan dengan pembakaran yang sempurna. Berhubung pelanggan setia, nggak usah minta dibakar seperti apa. Rasanya yah...... memang sangat empuk sekali. Kuah dan bumbu yang disiramkan di atas Steak juga sangat pas di lidah. Dengan sayuran dan kentang yang lumayan banyak, untuk saya Abuba Steak memang tetap cihuy....!!

Satu kelebihan Abuba steak adalah tersedianya berbagai macam saos dan sambal botolan, yang memungkinkan anda untuk meracik sendiri menu saos yang pas untuk steak anda. Jangan lupa ada juga mustard, kecap asin dan kecap manis, lengkap deh semua.

Harganya lumayan nggak mahal lah untuk ukuran steak. Mulai dari Rp. 40.000 hingga Rp. 80.000 untuk daging Amerika, sedang untuk daging lokal hanya sekitar 20 ribu an, harga yang sebanding dengan rasa dan sajian dari sebuah steak.

Yang pasti, di lidah saya sekarang sudah terbayang kembali bumbu dan steak yang saya makan kemarin. Waduh..... Steak Abuba memang selalu membuat kita nagih untuk selalu datang kesana. Mak Nyuss tenan memang !

How to Eat Dim Sum?

Dim Sum refers to a type of Chinese meal that serves mostly bite-sized portions pushed around in tin carts by aggressive Chinese ladies who shove food on your table as if you were their long lost sister’s neighbor’s second nephew.
Every once in a while a craze comes along that takes us by storm: Furbies, The Gin Blossoms, dead baby jokes. Each is by now long gone. Along with the Joey Lawrence “Woah” and the waist-tied flannel, the early ’90s is also marked by Boston’s fling with the tapas bar.
For those of you who don’t know, a meal at a tapas bar is an entire Spanish meal made up of many small dishes. Think of an entire meal made up of appetizers. Now, just change the country. Meet the Chinese cousin of tapas: dim sum.

My mom says that back in the day, the emperor wanted everything, and the imperial cooks would search far and wide for the most exotic dishes. But like most men of power, the emperor got greedy, so he wanted a conflagration of many flavors in his mouth with every meal. So each dish had to be small, so he couldn’t get full on a single flavor.

Today’s dim sum is the regular joe’s version of an imperial dining experience. Below, I have listed your most basic of dishes. If the dim sum restaurant doesn’t do the following dishes right, spit on the waiter, make fun of his mother, and march out of the room singing “I’m Too Sexy.” You’ll never be able to return, but who would want to ?

The rough English names are listed, followed parenthetically by an inaccurate but nevertheless affective pseudo-ping ying pronunciation in first Cantonese (because dim sum is from mainland China), then Mandarin (because that’s what I speak).

Har Gao (Ha Gao/Ha Gao) -- my favorite of all dim sum dishes. Unless you dislike shrimp (which makes you dumb) this is for you. Encased in a dumpling-like skin should be two shrimp with tiny pieces of bamboo. This dish is steamed, so the shrimp should be fairly plump (have you ever wondered how to explain the Taiwanese word “kew kew” to a white person?) and can be eaten with soy sauce or, my personal favorite, black vinegar.

Shu Mai (Shiu-Mai/Sau-Mai) -- another standard dumpling-like dish. It is a pork dumpling with an egg/wonton skin. If the restaurant knows what they’re doing, they’ll also garnish each with a slice of sweet pork sausage or maybe hide a piece of shrimp inside. Again, the use of a little soy sauce or black vinegar would not result in stare-downs from the natives.

Pork Spare Ribs (Pai Gwat/Pai Gu) -- tiny little pieces of pork ribs with black bean sauce. This dish is very tame, and also difficult to do wrong (ergo, vis-À-vis, concordantly). If they screw this one up, revisit above for instructions.

Shrimp in Rice Noodles (Cheng Fun/Tsang Fun) -- if you’ve ever had beef chow-fun, it’s that same rice noodle wrapped around pieces of shrimp. The dish also comes with sauce and comes in other varieties, including beef and pork. Hence, the cho fun shouldn’t be super squishy or slimy. Again shrimp should be plump, people. Plump.

Lotus Wrapped Sticky Rice (Gnow Mai Gai/Gnow Mi Gee) -- the name is pretty self-explanatory. Take some sticky rice, wrap it in a lotus leaf, steam, and serve. Inside the sticky rice could be some dried mushrooms, a piece of Chinese sweet sausage, a tiny quail egg, or some pieces of pork.

Sesame Balls (Jin Doie/Tsi Ma Cho) -- dessert. Personally I’m not a big fan, but I can picture myself having pieces of bamboo shoved under my fingernails if I left this out. These sweet sesame shells are filled with either red or green bean paste. The shell should be crunchy on the outside, slightly chewy in the middle, and have the consistency of refried beans on the inside. Americans simply need to learn about the glory that is bean paste.

Egg tarts (Dan Ta/Dan Ta) -- dessert number two. As a little kid I used to take a spoon and only eat out the custard filling. However now I am a firm believer that the flaky crust is just as important. You may want to consider not ordering from the dim sum place and going to a bakery across the street for this one. But if you’re desperate, by all means surrender to the pushy cart-lady. General guideline: they should be the size of a coaster, not a large mushroom. Also, the filling should taste almost like flan.

Steamed BBQ Pork Buns (Cha Siu Bao/Tsa Sau Bau) -- So you know the red colored BBQ pork that’s always served at a Cantonese style restaurant? The white puffy skin should be soft and fluffy, not soggy. If they’re soggy, they’ve been left in the cart too long. Also, be careful to take off the tiny piece of wax paper on the bottom. Some people do forget and end up hating dim sum for some “mysterious reason.”

Remember, these were very basic and tame dishes. Next week, we dive into the realm of more hardcore dim sum. Until then, as Phoebe’s psychiatrist boyfriend “Rodge” once said, “easy on those cookies, OK? Remember they’re just food, they’re not love.”

Ice cream wih Soy Bean Flavour

Who does not like Ice cream? In addition to the sweet taste and cold, ice cream can also generate a better mood so loh. If ice cream is usually made from cow's milk, well this time ice cream made from soy? Like what ya like?

No one ever refused if offered with a bowl of ice cream, cold drinks made from cow's milk with a variant of this feeling a lot penggenarnya both young and old. But what happens if the ice cream is made from soy? Hmm .. first I hesitated whether ice cream flavor it would be equal to flavor ice cream is made from cow's milk.

After trying it turns out it's quite nice loh! Cow's milk is a main ingredient was replaced with soy milk. The manufacturing process remains the same only the main ingredients are different. But according to the manager, there are few limitations. Ice cream from soy milk can only be made into a sense of just three variants, namely vanilla, strawberry and chocolate.

Sense of others are still in the search process. The texture of ice cream - his own gentle enough not much different from ice cream in general, but for me ice cream from soy milk is similar to ice puter. And if the feeling really smell and taste of soybean is still quite pronounced.

But it did not disappoint. Ice cream or lots of soy milk that have called out this ice cream can be encountered in the Public Know located in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta. In addition, soy ice cream is suitable for those who are allergic to cow's milk, especially children, also for those who have fat diet. Can still eat ice cream, but still healthy. (Eka / Odi)

Once eaten, Hmmmmm ... feeling fishy and tough from duck meat would disappear instantly. The meat was tender and there was absolutely no fishy taste. Seasonings rempahnya really fresh burst in

Spicy flavor of chili sliced very fine and so delicious, evenly offset the delicious broth soup. Rice cake on a plate would be demolished in an instant. Following tradition, it is recommended rice cake soup eaten with duck, of course, in addition to rice which is also provided. A serving of duck soup valued USD 10 thousand. If you want to add offal, also added money to Rp 7,500.

Muafi bit shared secret recipe duck soup. In general, the same as duck soup seasoning soup in general. The difference is kaldunya. The broth itself is a recipe handed down from grandmother of the wife's family, Sufriyah. The recipe had died 15 years before revived by Sufriyah. Previously, in Bangkalan, Madura, Sufriyah grandmother had open stalls duck soup.

Since no one is to continue the business plus grandmother who had advanced age, the shop is closed. Seeing no business opportunity, direct Muafi rented a booth in the center of Culinary Indrapura.
Together with his wife, father of 3 children were trying to revive the duck soup. According to a survey conducted Muafi, there is no duck soup in Surabaya, East Java and even. Even if there is, recipes and ingredients will be different.

Menyantap Soto Gondrong

Soto Gondrong???...Yup, sebenarnya sudah sering sih saya mendengar bisik-bisik tentang ke"maknyusan." Kuliner yang satu ini apalagi tempatnya pun gak jauh-jauh dari kediaman-koe. Penasaran???. Yup, tentu saja. Padahal apa sih bedanya dengan soto-soto ayam lainnya...apa sih yang membuat Soto Gondrong ini begitu terdengar istimewa banget..apanya yang gondrong ya..hehe..

Agar tidak terus dibuat penasaran maka saya dan keluarga berencana menikmati makan siang dirumah makan ini. Terletak ditempat yang agak tinggi dan berada dipojok jalan membuat rumah makan ini mudah terlihat. So, gak usah khawatir bakal kesasar deh..

Hmmm, tempat parkir terlihat penuh dengan kendaraan berplat nomor surabaya maupun beberapa kota lain di Jawa Timur. Yup, gak heran deh...tempat-tempat wisata maupun kuliner dikota-koe selalu dipadati oleh para pelancong dari luar kota yang tengah berakhir pekan... Hari sabtu dan hari Minggu merupakan saat panen bagi tempat-tempat wisata alam maupun rumah makan. Panen raya hehe...

Akhirnya kami dapat tempat parkir juga deh...bergaya arsitektural yang unik dengan memanfaatkan bambu dimana setiap sambungan antar bambu menggunakan tali yang diikat..(tanpa paku). Dan tanpa kaca maupun pembatas ruang (dinding). Sehingga terlihat menyatu banget dengan hijaunya tanaman disekitar area resto.

Duh, gak sabar deh menunggu pesanan soto Gondrong datang...dan hmmm, akhirnya kuliner tersebut terhidang dihadapan kami..soto gondrong plus es degan..sipppp...saatnya icip-icip nih. Hmmm, saya-pun merasakan sensasi yang WAOWWW..rempah-rempahnya terasa banget... ahhh...kayaknya ini yang menjadi bumbu rahasia kuliner ini...daripada puyeng mencari asal rasa tersebut saya pun larut dalam kenikmatan soto gondrong dan pas banget dengan kondisi perut yang lagi lapar. Hmm, menikmati soto hangat didaerah pegunungan...(gak kebayang deh ^_^). O,ya..soto gondrong ini dibandrol harga Rp 12.500,-/porsi. Konon katanya, para pramusaji diresto ini dulunya kudu berambut gondrong (untuk para pria). Namun, saya hanya menemui satu orang saja yang masih berambut gondrong..(mungkin yang lainnya merasa ribet kali yaaaa..harus masak soto plus menyisir rambut juga hahaha..).

Selain menu soto gondrong,diresto ini juga terdapat menu-menu lain seperti kupang lontong, bakso, lontong balap, sate ayam maupun beberapa jajanan pasar seperti nagasari, ote-ote, pisang goreng...dan..JAGUNG BAKAR bok...hehe...

Steak Factory Jakarta

Steak atau yang populer disebut bistik oleh orang Indonesia kini tak lagi menjadi makanan langka. Para penggemar daging yang dipanggang ini bisa mendapatinya di mana saja, dengan harga yang bervariasi pula. Mau mahal ada, yang relatif murah pun ada.

Dulu, steak hanya bisa ditemui di tempat-tempat mahal, seperti hotel-hotel berbintang atau restoran-restoran berpenampilan mewah. Tapi kini, seiring krisis ekonomi yang pernah melanda Indonesia yang hingga kini belum pulih, steak tidak lagi menjadi sajian yang mahal. Banyak kedai-kedai kecil dan bahkan tenda-tenda kaki lima yang menyajikan menu daging ini. Kalau sudah begini, kualitas dan harga pun menjadi beragam.
Salah satu tempat yang menawarkan hidangan steak dengan harga yang relatif terjangkau adalah Jalan Biak nomor 23, Jakarta Pusat. Steak Factory, demikian namanya, berkonsep low profile dalam penampilan. Tapi, pemiliknya berani rasa yang ditawarkan pasti berbeda dari tempat lain, termasuk memasukkan cita rasa Indonesia.
Kenneth Chen, sang pemilik, mengemas restoran bistik ini dengan desain yang nyaman dan menarik. Ruko dua lantai berkapasitas 100 orang ini, menurut Yoke—Direktur Operasional—didesain sedemikian rupa sehingga orang pun bisa merasa rileks dan disambut pemilik. ”Penggemar steak, baik itu datang bersama keluarga maupun rekan kerja bisa merasa nyaman apalagi dengan pelayanan yang ramah,” ujar Yoke tentang resto yang dikelolanya dengan jam buka 11.00 hingga 22.00 WIB tersebut.

Menurut Yoke, warung tenda di sepanjang Jalan Biak Jakarta Pusat itu sudah banyak. Bahkan Chen menegaskan kalau resto-resto di sana sudah buka puluhan tahun silam. Karenanya, bisnis yang dikelola di atas bangunan milik pribadi itu dikemas agak berbeda. Di samping jualannya beda, tempatnya pun punya keunikan tersendiri. Cat dinding warna merah terang agak oranye tua mendominasi seluruh ruangan. Sementara untuk lebih menarik lagi, dindingnya diberi tambahan sejenis bahan asbes yang ditempel melengkung. Bahannya sederhana tapi hasilnya cukup artistik. Warna ruangan yang menyala pun seolah merepresentasikan panasnya steak dari panggangan. Boleh jadi suasana seperti ini menambah selera makan bagi pengunjung.
Perkara lokasi memang sudah dipikirkannya. Tempat yang kini dipilihnya termasuk kawasan sibuk. Satu lagi, di sana tidak ada usaha sejenis yang bisa menjadi pesaingnya.
”Selalu mencoba sesuatu yang baru untuk hidangan dan menawarkan paket-paket promosi,” jelas Chen tentang segelintir kiat-kiat yang dijalankannya.

Pecinta Wine dalam Festival Beaujolais Nouveau

Pencinta Wine Indonesia berkumpul dalam Festival Beaujolais Nouveau bertempat di La Piazza Kelapa Gading, Kamis (18/11/2010). Acara yang diadakan oleh Summarecon Kelapa Gading dan Indonesia Sommelier Association (ISA) ini merupakan acara tahunan dan tahun ini merupakan acara untuk kedua kalinya.

Menurut Soegianto Nagaria, President of Indonesia Sommelier Association, festival ini merupakan pemanasan untuk acara "Wine and Cheese Expo" yang akan diselenggarakan pada bulan Mei 2011. Festival Beaujolais Nouveau sendiri merupakan adaptasi dari tradisi di wilayah Beaujolais, Perancis. Daerah ini menghasilkan wine Beaujolais Nouveau. Jepang dengan sukses mengadaptasi Festival Beaujolais Nouveau dan kini Indonesia pun turut serta menyelenggarakan festival unik ini.

Selain itu, dalam festival ini sekaligus memperkenalkan Indonesia Sommelier Association. Soegianto menjelaskan bahwa sommelier ahli dalam menyuguhkan wine.

"Sommelier harus menentukan wine yang cocok saat makan," kata Soegianto.

Seni penyuguhan wine ini memang tidak hanya sekadar mengetahui mana yang cocok, tetapi harus mengenal karakteristik wine sampai asal-usulnya. Sommelier juga memegang peran penting dalam pariwisata Indonesia. Soegianto menerangkan, sering kali sommelier Indonesia bertanding di luar negeri dengan membawa nama Indonesia.

"Untuk turis luar negeri saat mereka datang ke Indonesia akan merasa akrab jika mendapatkan sommelier yang mengerti wine," katanya. Karena itu asosiasi ini dibentuk agar sesama sommelier bisa saling mendukung dan berbagi pengetahuan serta pengalaman.

Dalam acara ini juga diperkenalkan wine Beaujolais Nouveau. Jenis wine ini sebenarnya sudah terkenal di luar negeri, tetapi masih jarang ditemukan di Indonesia.

"Wine ini dari anggur Gamay yang berasal dari daerah Beaujolais. Beaujolais Nouveau sendiri berarti Beaujolais yang baru. Karena wine ini berasal dari anggur yang berumur 6 minggu sudah dibotolkan dan difermentasikan dengan cepat memakai ragi khusus," jelas Soegianto.

Ragi khusus ini mengantarkan rasa cherry dan pisang dalam wine. Warnanya ungu muda dengan semburan merah muda. Rasa manis selintas dengan dominan asam dan kesan pahit setelah meminumnya. Wine ringan yang cocok untuk teman makan sambil berbincang santai dengan teman-teman.

"Wine ini sangat simple, terkenalnya karena tanpa vintage, jadi dalam dua bulan harus habis," kata Soegianto. Vintage merupakan tahun produksi dari wine, umumnya semakin tua dibuat, rasa wine semakin kaya dan harganya pun semakin mahal.

"Minum wine ini serasa berada di Perancis yang suasana cukup dingin, makan masakan nenek yang panas, minum wine dengan nikmat bersama teman-teman yang mau enjoy hari ini. Ini merupakan gambaran vivid untuk wine ini," tutur Soegianto.

Salah satu pengunjung, Benny Subroto, yang memang pencinta wine, selalu hadir dalam acara Festival Beaujolais Nouveau dan sangat menikmati acara ini.

"Suasananya meriah dan friendly. Jadi orang-orangnya tidak terlalu formil. Acara ini bagus, supaya lebih memasyarakatkan wine," tutur Benny.

Selain wine, festival ini juga dimeriahkan dengan kuliner dan budaya Perancis. Pengunjung dapat menyaksikan lagu dan tarian khas Perancis di panggung yang tersedia. Kesenian khas Perancis pun tampil, seperti Mime & Magician, Happening Arts, Street Accordion Player, dan masih banyak lainnya.

Sementara itu, lidah pengunjung dimanjakan menu prasmanan. Semua hidangan merupakan khas Perancis, seperti Duck Balotine "Confit", Fish Broth, Crepe, dan aneka menu lainnya. Ada lebih dari 20 menu yang disuguhkan untuk para penggemar budaya Perancis.

Jika Anda terlewatkan acara ini, maka nantikan Festival Beaujolais Nouveau tahun depan yang biasa diadakan pada minggu ketiga bulan November.

Many Kinds of Yummy Dim Sum

Traditional Dim Sum includes steamed or fried dumplings, filled buns, rice rolls, and noodles. Ingredients include chicken, pork, beef, prawns, and a number of vegetarian options. Dim Sum restaurants often additionally offer plates of steamed green vegetables and desserts including pastries and fruity porridges. The assortment of dishes is truly a marvel, though certain staples will nearly always appear on the roster. 'Gow' is a standard of most Dim Sum bistros.

Dumplings wrapped in translucent rice-flour skin, 'Gow' allows a chef to draw attention to his artistry, as the dumplings are quite challenging to create.

'Chiu-chao' style dumplings resemble Thai dishes, containing peanuts, garlic chives, dried shrimp, shitake mushrooms, and served with a sharp chilli sauce. 'Potstickers', a familiar Chinese favourite, are sometimes included in a Dim Sum meal, though they are not categorised as a traditional element in the cuisine. A Northern Chinese style of dish, 'potstickers' are delicious dumplings stuffed with a filling of cabbage and meat.

Aside from dumplings, Cantonese varieties of buns comprise many Dim Sum specialties. Shanghai steamed buns are filled with meat, often seafood, and are distinguished by a hearty soup concealed within the bun. 'Bau' is another type of bun, served baked or steamed. A fluffy treat, 'bau' is filled with an assortment of meat and vegetables. Perhaps the most distinct and popular type of 'bau', 'cha siu baau' consists of Cantonses barbeque-flavoured pork, meat, and onions inside a light outer casing.

Many items within the Dim Sum catalogue don't fall as easily into the typical bun/dumpling category. Aforementioned phoenix talons (chicken feet), sesame seed balls, steamed spare ribs, lotus leaf rice, mango pudding, tofu desserts, spring rolls, egg tarts and fried squid are all potential features in a Dim Sum dining encounter. Some restaurants may offer up to one hundred different items on a particularly demanding day.

Sate Anggrek Legendaris

Ini dia salah satu Sate legendaris dari Bandung: Sate Anggrek. Warung sate kaki lima yang berlokasi di persimpangan Jl. Anggrek dan Jl. Riau ini sudah ada sejak beberapa tahun silam dan menjadi salah satu makanan yang banyak dicari. Saking banyak peminatnya, kalau sedang ramai, sehari si penjual sate bisa menjual sampai dua ribu tusuk sate. Bahkan, kalau ada yang ingin memesan seratus atau dua ratus tusuk sate untuk acara makan-makan tidak perlu memesan beberapa hari sebelumnya. Langsung datang di hari H - asal masih sore - pasti kebagian.

Sepintas sate ini kalau dilihat tidak ada bedanya dengan sate-sate lain yang banyak dijajakan di pinggir jalan. Menunyapun standar saja : sate kambing dan sate ayam, ditambah menu tambahan soto ayam. Tapi kalau lebih diperhatikan lagi, potongan daging di Sate Anggrek ini agak lebih besar dibanding sate kebanyakan. Dan kalau sudah masuk mulut, baru terasa benar perbedaannya. Dagingnya empuk dan bumbunya yang khas benar-benar meresap. Jangan lupa ditambah bumbu kacangnya yang kental dan manis serta sedikit kecap agar rasanya benar-benar sempurna.

Dijual Rp. 900,- per tusuk, Sate Anggrek memang bisa menjadi salah satu pilihan untuk menghilangkan rasa lapar. Kalau memang kebelet ingin segera menikmati sate ini, datanglah sekitar pukul empat atau lima sore. Karena kalau datang sedikit saja lewat magrib, Anda harus menghadapi antrian yang cukup panjang.

Originally ever even have a branch in Kuningan Plaza, but had long been closed. The place is now used by Decanter Wine House. Of the three outlets, the largest and most comprehensive (full-fledged restaurant and Dim Sum are on the BRI II Center Park. Two others are more focused on serving suki or steamboat.

Dim Sum at Samudra indeed reliable. The price is relatively affordable (Rp 13-21 thousand), and the taste and quality may be thumbs up. At busy times - breakfast at weekends and during lunch-time - the steam trains containing Dim Sum and down over the tables of guests. Likewise, Dim Sum cart containing cooking and baking. What you see what you get! Just choose what fits, and move portions of it to the table. In the quiet hours, Dim Sum can be ordered from the menu card.

In addition to Dim Sum, Samudra also offers a variety of Chinese cuisine, especially processed seafood. One of the popular ones are steamed tiger grouper (Rp 48 thousand per 100 grams). Mak nyuss!

Crab dishes are popular here is the crab a la Singapore (like a desert sauce, spicy sour taste, Rp 12,600 per 100 grams). Meanwhile, many shrimp dishes ordered were drunk grilled shrimp (small portions of Rp 124 thousand). Frankly, I never have the heart to order this one dish.

To attract guests coming to dinner - remember this is more crowded restaurant at lunchtime because of the high office building nearby - at night buffet dinner held at Rp 115,000 per person (excluding drinks). It is only in the flagship Samudra located in BRI II. Actually, the term dinner buffet here is less precise because the 80 items of food must be ordered (among other things: corn soup, prawn mayonnaise, crab Singapore, beef black pepper, etc.). More correctly called all you can eat.

What I am really disappointed in this restaurant is that the menu is still listed in the list of mouse grouper (sold live) in the list menu. In fact, the restaurant at the Samudra should know that these fish species have been protected because it has reached the level of scarcity. (Bondan Winarno - detikfood)

Ice cream and Cough

Due to its composition which is full of energy, protein, and fat, especially saturated fat, Ice cream is often blamed as the culprit causing obesity or obesity.

In fact, the energy contribution of ice cream per serving (one cup) about only 10 percent of total energy requirements and fat contribute about 15 percent of total daily fat requirement. This amount is small, so that less fit when ice cream was accused as a ringleader of the causes of overweight or obese.

Obesity is more precisely caused by poor eating habits, especially the excessive energy and fat and lack of physical activity. Obesity is caused by hereditary factors. Risk of obese children when one of her parents' obesity was 30 percent. The risk increased to 70 percent if both parents were obese.

This assumption is wrong about the ice cream also occur in pregnant women. Public opinion that pregnant women should not consume ice, including ice cream. It is feared is the birth of infants with body weights that are too large (oversized baby). Ice cream is consumed as a snack food. Therefore, it will not add too much energy if consumed properly. Total consumption of natural ice cream is two to three cups per week.

Causes of Cough Colds

Many community members think Ice cream as a cause of cough and cold. This is simply not true. Because, when it entered the mouth, Ice cream will melt immediately. Ice cream melting rapidly driven by the influence of body temperature, so when the ice cream into the esophagus temperature is not as cold as ice water.

Different things happen when someone is eating ice-orange. Cold water does not necessarily increase the temperature at admission to the mouth. The increase in water temperature occurs more slowly so that, so when the ice water into the esophagus, its temperature is still very low. This is what actually causes coughing or runny nose. In these countries the four seasons, Ice cream actually consumed during the winter. This is done because the high-energy ice cream that are believed to help maintain body temperature to keep warm.

Ice cream is also used as a cold medicine. This is done because a person suffering from colds required to consume large amounts of fluids to avoid dehydration. Ice cream that also contains water can be used as a provider of body fluids, especially the taste and texture is preferred by patients, so that consumption will greatly assist healing.

Nevertheless, Ice cream should be avoided by people with sore throat, tonsillitis, or asthma. All three diseases can recur if induced by cold temperatures. (Eurekaindonesia)

Culinary Art of Dim Sum

Dim Sum is the name for a Chinese cuisine which involves a wide range of light dishes served alongside Chinese tea. Yum cha (literally “drinking tea”) is the term used to describe the entire dining experience, especially in contemporary Cantonese. It is usually served in the mornings until noon time at Chinese restaurants and at specialty Dim Sum eateries where typical dishes are available throughout the day. Dishes come in small portions and may include meat, seafood, and vegetables, as well as desserts and fruit. The items are usually served in a small steamer basket or on a small plate.

Dim Sum is usually linked with the older tradition of Yum Cha (drinking tea), which has its roots in travellers on the ancient Silk Road needing a place to rest. Thus teahouses were established along the roadside. Rural farmers, exhausted after working hard in the fields, would also go to teahouses for a relaxing afternoon of tea. At first, it was considered inappropriate to combine tea with food, because people believed it would lead to excessive weight gain. People later discovered that tea can aid in digestion, so teahouse owners began adding various snacks.

The unique culinary art of Dim Sum originated with the Cantonese in southern China, who over the centuries transformed Yum Cha from a relaxing respite to a loud and happy dining experience. In Hong Kong, and in most cities and towns in Guangdong province, many Chinese restaurants start serving dim sum as early as five in the morning. It is a tradition for the elderly to gather to eat dim sum after morning exercises, often enjoying the morning newspapers. For many in southern China, yum cha is treated as a weekend family day. Consistent with this tradition, dim sum restaurants typically only serve dim sum until mid-afternoon (right around the time of a traditional Western 3 o’clock coffee break), and serve other kinds of Cantonese cuisine in the evening. Nowadays, various dim sum items are even sold as take-out for students and office workers on the go.

Traditional dim sum includes various types of steamed buns such as cha siu baau, dumplings and rice noodle rolls china dimsum(cheong fun), which contain a range of ingredients, including beef, chicken, pork, prawns and vegetarian options. Many dim sum restaurants also offer plates of steamed green vegetables, roasted meats, congee porridge and other soups. Dessert dim sum is also available and many places offer the customary egg tart. Having a meal in a Chinese teahouse or a dim sum restaurant is known as yum cha , literally “drinking tea”, as tea is typically served with dim sum.Dim sum can be cooked by steaming and frying, among other methods. The serving sizes are usually small and normally served as three or four pieces in one dish. It is customary to order family style, sharing dishes among all members of the dining party. Because of the small portions, people can try a wide variety of food. (bestchinesefoodmenu)

Wine dan Sehat

Semua orang tahu bahwa minum Wine lebih adalah kebejatan, dan dapat menyebabkan seluruh nomor gangguan kesehatan. Tapi tampaknya ada batas untuk asumsi ini, nenek moyang kita tahu sesuatu yang lebih, mungkin, sehingga mereka tidak pernah diklasifikasikan anggur sebagai minuman berbahaya. Segelas anggur adalah iringan hanya untuk masakan yang besar dan ada koki yang mengkhususkan diri dalam kombinasi terbaik. Ini adalah salah satu minuman terbaik untuk menemani makan malam santai, tidak menimbulkan mabuk, hanya perasaan menyenangkan relaksasi. Anggur peminum mendapatkan kimia tendangan tubuh mereka perlu melepas lelah sebelum makan yang baik, sehingga mendorong relaksasi, dan yang secara otomatis membawa kesehatan yang baik dengan itu. Namun satu belum pernah mendengar wiski sebagai booster yang bagus untuk kesehatan.

Anggur ini kebanyakan dihargai dengan rasa, tubuhnya dan seorang gourmet, wangi. Ada nomor hampir tak terbatas dari anggur yang tersedia, dan demikian pula kombinasi dengan makanan. Tetapi dalam cara apa bisa ini cocok minum untuk dewa membantu kami untuk menjadi sehat? Jalan kembali di abad kedua belas, Hildegard Bingen, seorang terkemuka "penyembuh digunakan obat yang disebut" anggur hati "untuk menyembuhkan penyakit koroner anggur ini terdiri dari anggur, Parsley segar batang, cuka dan madu dan. Digunakan untuk mengobati kejang jantung dan gagal jantung Di zaman modern,. jawabannya adalah Paradoks Perancis. Selama bertahun-tahun para ilmuwan bertanya-tanya mengapa krim dan mentega kecanduan Prancis tidak mati karena serangan jantung dalam jumlah besar. Sekarang kita tahu. Ini adalah anggur yang berlangsung dengan makanan mereka. Terutama anggur merah , itu mengubah kadar lipid darah, menurunkan jumlah total kolesterol, menjaga pembuluh darah bebas dari konstriksi, arteri jelas penyumbatan Jadi penyakit koroner berhasil digagalkan. Selain itu, kemampuan untuk mempengaruhi aliran darah ke otak menjamin. bahwa ada resiko yang lebih rendah perdarahan tiba-tiba di otak, mereka yang biasanya menyebabkan stroke.

Namun, harus diingat bahwa moderasi adalah kunci untuk mendapatkan manfaat maksimal dari yang terbaik hal. Tentu saja, definisi moderasi berbeda antar budaya, di AS, itu berarti satu gelas untuk wanita dan sampai tiga gelas untuk pria per hari sedangkan Eropa mendukung sekitar dua sampai tiga gelas per hari untuk wanita dan tiga sampai empat gelas untuk pria. Tapi di sini, lebih banyak lebih baik tidak memegang, dan itu ide yang baik untuk menempel pada batas ini. Wine konsumsi dapat ditahan sebagai sehat hanya di moderasi, dan ini juga didukung oleh penelitian dan percobaan medis. Jika kurva diplot antara jumlah insiden konsumsi dan kematian, itu, besar dalam U bentuk, menunjukkan bahwa kejadian kematian turun dengan meningkatnya asupan anggur merah, tapi setelah kuantitas tertentu, naik lagi, dan ada lagi bahaya mengintai .

Masalah lain disimpan di teluk oleh konsumsi anggur adalah borok, sebuah studi pada tahun 1999 menunjukkan bahwa orang yang secara teratur mengkonsumsi anggur memiliki jumlah yang lebih rendah bakteri yang menyebabkan infeksi ulkus dalam sistem kami.

Ada banyak penelitian yang membuktikan efektivitas anggur dalam memerangi racun kanker menghasilkan, bahkan bertindak sebagai anti-oksidan, dan dengan logika yang sama, anggur memiliki kekuatan untuk melawan, bahkan mencegah kanker. Sehingga daya anggur merah yang terletak pada anti oksidan yang-di alam. Ini kuasa yang besar mungkin tidak ditemukan di jenis-jenis anggur sehingga kita harus membedakan antara anggur merah dan lainnya. Penelitian telah mengungkapkan bahwa setiap gelas anggur merah mengandung kurang lebih 200 jenis senyawa fenolik (atau poli-fenol). Sebuah persentase yang sangat besar ini telah dikaitkan sifat anti-oksidasi, dan itulah yang menentukan anggur merah terpisah dari orang lain.

Lain kekuatan yang membawa anggur merah adalah bahwa resveratrol, yang tampaknya memainkan peran utama dalam pencegahan kanker, dengan meminimumkan mutasi DNA yang mungkin bertanggung jawab untuk kanker dan bahkan dengan memotong pasokan darah ke tumor. kimia membantu untuk menetralisir oksidasi radikal bebas yang bertanggung jawab untuk menghancurkan sel-sel sehat dalam diri seseorang. Dalam beberapa kasus bahkan menyebabkan beberapa sel kanker menghancurkan diri sendiri, dan ini telah terbukti bagi sel-sel kanker payudara, sel-sel leukemia dan sel-sel kanker kulit. Hal ini juga menghambat pertumbuhan sel kanker sujud.

Ada juga studi yang menunjukkan bahwa peminum anggur memiliki terendah kejadian kanker usus besar, hanya 1 persen dibandingkan delapan belas persen peminum bir dan dua belas persen non-peminum.

Namun, masyarakat beradab masih tidak menempatkan premi memperlakukan anggur merah sebagai penyembuh, hanya karena manfaat yang dihasilkan dari konsumsi masih lebih besar daripada risiko yang menyediakan konsumsi. Dalam etiket Eropa melayani dan minum anggur masih merupakan masalah tradisi dan kebiasaan, bukan tindakan medis terkenal. Selain itu, di AS sendiri, alkohol penyakit terkait dan kecelakaan account selama hampir 100.000 kematian setiap tahun. Di sisi lain, jika peminum anggur yang teratur akan berpaling dari itu, insiden penyakit jantung akan naik drastis, merangsang hampir 80.000 kematian tambahan karena penyakit jantung setiap tahun. Jadi pilihan masih belum jelas, itu Iblis dan situasi laut dalam. (Kanika Goswami - buzzle)
