The Reason Why

This is exactly the reason why I will be 'rounded up', 'plumpy, and 'fat' here!

One of my favorites, Martabak is a sweet pancake loaded with good stuff there! Hot piping thick pancake, coated with spoonful of Planta butter, followed by chocolate chips, nuts on one side, LOADS of grated Cheddar cheese on the other side. He turns it over, and guess what, MORE Planta butter!!! Then he cuts it skillfully into little bite-size squares. The heat from the pancake melts the chees, chocolate combinations... This order is half cheese and half chocolate & nuts. I hate to say this but it simply tastes heavenly!

Next, nasi uduk at 'Ibu Sum'! We arrived at 9:55pm which was the perfect timing! This is actually the first time I'm observing their opening process. So we arrived at 9:55pm, and the shop was still dark as the guys were preparing to layout the food. A bunch of people were sitted and waiting in the shop. We chose to sit at the 'bar' because I wanted to see teh glorious display of the food, and of course, join in the crowd! At exactly 10:00pm, lights were switched on, and the Mas will all be busy serving out plates of very sinful but smooth nasi, as the customers make their choices. Soon, everyone was chomping down their food as if they have not eaten in days! If you are asking what nasi uduk is, its basically a combination of nasi lemak & nasi padang. I really wanted to video-tape the whole 'social-phenomenon' process which I find really interesting. But then, I'll totally look like an idiot. Some sneak photos for you!
