Weekend kemarin, saya pulang ke tempat ortu saya di Cibubur. Di dapur, saya melihat sebuah toples yg berisi air kental berwarna coklat...sepertinya konsentrat...dan disana juga tergenang banyak belahan jeruk nipis. Lho, ini apa ya?
Ketika saya tanya ke Mama saya, dia bilang itu manisan jeruk nipis yg beliau buat sendiri. Beliau sempet menceritakan proses pembuatannya, tapi saya tidak menyimak berhubung udah ngiler pengen nyobain manisannya.
Lalu saya mengambil konsentrat manisan jeruk nipis ini sebanyak seperempat gelas, lalu saya juga mengambil 4 potong manisan jeruk nipis nya, lalu saya campur dengan air dingin dan es batu sampai mencapai satu gelas penuh. Abis itu diaduk dan ya langsung di minum.
Rasanya? Wah....enak banget! Asem-asem plus manis plus seger. Ternyata, Mama saya itu tidak hanya seorang koki yang handal, tapi ternyata beliau juga pembuat manisan yg top euy. (Ini menurut anaknya, lho!!)
Salam,
Astrid

ORANGE SQUASH
Orange di iris-iris tipis masih dengan kulitnya, lalu di cemplungin ke campuran sprite dan sunquick.
Kasi es batu, lalu diamkan se jam di lemari es.
Abis itu di lahap deh air dan jeruknya.
Rasanya seger dan kulitnya pun gak pahit tuh. Ini adalah salah satu minuman andalan di rumah kalo lagi ada acara, terutama lebaran.

Amateur Review: Coffee Tasting - Nefo Ground Coffee
Brand: Nefo
Logo: AAA
Location of factory: Jambi, Indonesia
Specification: ground coffee
Color of box: Orange
Color of grinded bean: dark Black
The right and perfect composition for this coffee is:
• 1½ teaspoon of the coffee for one cup OR
• 1 tablespoon of the coffee for 1 glass
Mix it with boiling water and stir. You may add sugar and creamer or milk if necessary. I prefer just black.
After I stirred the coffee with boiling water, the color of the coffee still looked dark black.
The smell is so strong.
If made with a wrong dosage, the result of the coffee will be very bitter.
Surprisingly, I didn’t taste any ’acidity’ from this coffee. This is totally different from any other coffee that I found. Just taste right for a ground coffee drinker like me.
The dark black color that this coffee has might come from the roast of this coffee which was too ’well done’. I can smell it right before I mix the coffee with the boiling water.
If we compare this coffee with Starbuck (SB) ground coffee – the darkest roast, the similarity is only at the color of the coffee beans…dark black. The differences are in:
1. The texture: the texture of the SB coffee is too dry just like the instant coffee of Nescafe, while this coffee is a bit moist
2. The smell: the smell of the SB coffee is fresh and last longer after I mixed it with boiling water, while this coffee smells so-so – not that strong and gone too soon
3. The taste: the taste of SB coffee is lighter than this coffee

Amateur Review: Vasse Felix Classic Dry White 2002
Last night, I went to my friend's house and had a dinner there. My friend served me a beef steak and two kinds of salad.
But one thing for sure, I grabbed a bottle of white wine from the bar and tried to enjoy the night. Though the food didn't match with the white wine, but it was OK for me. At least, I enjoyed the night.
Well, let me review the wine, though I am not the expert of it.
Name of wine: Vasse Felix Classic Dry White Wine
Year: 2002
Prod: Margaret River
Official Website: www.vassefelix.com.au
The producer of the wine said in the label that the white wine is the blend from semillon and sauvignon blanc. The producer also stated that the taste of the wine will be dried, full bodied, and refreshing.
Here's opinion: My nose said that the wine smelled so mellow and soft, not that strong. My mouth thought that the wine was truly dry and, once again, soft. But it was not that refreshing....only cold as it just came out from the cooler.
The wine made me feel high in a slow slow slow motion...very slow...which was good for me...realy made me feel calm and beautiful :))
The situation was getting excited as I listened to the songs from George
Michael (Kissing a Fool & I can't make you love me if.....).
The wine is trully a match for a light class drinker like me.
Cheers,
Astrid
