Openricer review

Akhirnya bisa review lagi...!!!

hahaha... kali ini mau review salah satu restoran buffet di Grand Indonesia..
Well.. THANKS To OPENRICE atau Vouchernya... Free 1 Person Meal at Cardamon..!!!

Restoran Cardamon ini terletal di lantai 5 Grand Indonesia.. Restorannya cukup nyaman, Desain nya a`la cafe italia gitu.. tapi sebenarnya masakannya asia abis,..
Untuk suasana dan kebersihan restoran Cardamon cukup oke.. Cuma agak mengecewakan ternyata di dalem boleh smoking.. dan tidak ada space khusus para smoker.. alhasil kamipun cukup kecewa.

Ok, Langsung aja ke makanannya ya

Cardamon Restaurant memiliki konsep self service buffet yang artinya kita tinggal ambil aja makanannya dari meja saji..

1. Appetizer

Disini appetizernya ada salad dan soup...
nah karena soupnya kelihatan lebih maknyus makanya kamipun mengambil soup jagung.. nah di pojok kiri kami melihat sushi terpajang... langsung deh naluri sushinya muncul..langsung aja kita ambil..
Soup jagungnya enak..jagungnya manis asli..tapi supnya jadi agak terlalu manis..gurih sih..
sushinya standar lah.. yang enak sushi yang dibungkus telur itu..bentuknya bagus..telurnya manis-manis asin gimana gitu..

2. Main Course
Spaghetti Oriental.. Spaghetti ini nggak tawar...enak banget...pedes, manis, gurih... yummy..

Gindara Fish Finger..
Ikan gindara goreng ini enakk banget...ikannya seger.. emang dasar gw suka ikan sih...mantap abis deh ikannya

Potato Wedges.. Potato Wedgesnya ga tawar..dikasih bumbu gitu.. jadinya enak deh..beda sama potato wedges di resto buffet lain..

Beef Ball Curry
Bola-Bola daging sapi ini dimasak agak sedikit mirip rendang, hanya saja bumbunya tidak pedas.. rempah-rempahnya nampol abis..

Chicken Thailand Curry
Ayam ini the best of the best food menurut kami di cardamon.. bumbu karinya begitu enakk.. rempah abis... bumbunya juga tidak pedas..Recommended

Nasi Goreng
Nasi Goreng di Cardamon rasanya halus dan tidak terlalu nampol. ringan rasanya..

Mie Aceh
Mie Aceh juga salah satu makanan yang kami rekomendasikan.. Mie-nya rempah banget..agak pedas dan gurih asinnya juga pas... sensasi rasanya buat penasaran... pengen nambah lagi...

Khusus untuk Nasi Goreng & Mie Aceh dipesan melalui Waiter..

3. Dessert

Banana Caramel
Pisang disini manis-manis asem..cuma karena ada karamelnya yang begitu melted itu menutupi rasa asamnya.. yang bikin saya tambah suka.. Pisang Karamel disini disajikan dalam keadaan HANGAT... padahal taro di piring gitu loh di deretan dessertnya..

Es Selasih
Es nya rasanya standar..Segar manis.. isinya selasih, Rumput laut, dan nata de coco.

4. Beverages

1. Hot Tea
Hot Tea disini ga asal2an.. Pake DILMAH TEA.. terus dikasih berbagai macam pilihan gula untuk ditambahin ke tehnya... yang lucu kjita dikasih sebuah biskuit Oreo di samping cangkir tehnya..

2. Strawberry Thai Tea..
Minuman ini enak banget..di atasnya juice strawberry gitu cuma strawberrynya ga terlalu hancur... kemudian dicampur teh thailand, dan susu kental manis di bagian dasarnya..manis, asam.. TOP!!!!


Keseluruhan, makan di cardamon ini berkualitas dan enak.. tidak seperti kebanyakan restoran buffet yang mementingkan kuantitas dibanding kualitas.. mungkin ini sebabnya di cardamon memiliki jargon Eat All You Can bukan All You Can Eat kali ya..

Untuk makanan per-orang Rp. 75000++ Plus pajak 17% Jadi sekitar 87ribu-an..
Untuk Hot Tea nya Rp 13.500 + 17%
Untuk Strawberry Thai Tea nya Rp 26.000 + 17%

Disini member openrice yang udah punya open rice Card juga dapet diskon 15%..

Keseluruhan, Restoran Cardamon bakal jadi Restoran yang selalu bikin rindu setiap penikmat makanan asia..

Ramen Outside Japan

Ramen has become popular in China in recent years where it is known as rìshì lāmiàn (日式拉面, "Japanese Style lamian"). Popular Japanese ramen chains serve ramen alongside distinctly Japanese dishes such as tempura and yakitori, something which would be seen as odd in Japan.

Wagamama, a successful pan-Asian chain with establishments mainly in European cities, is known for its noodle soups marketed as ramen (but which are quite different from ramen in Japan).

Ramyeon (라면) is the Korean version of ramen. Ramyeon in Korea is a popular instant meal. Korean ramyeon is known to be hot and spicy, as its soup is usually flavored with chili peppers. There are many varieties of Korean ramyeon, such as kimchi-flavored, seafood-flavored and beef-flavored. Some restaurants serve variations of ramyon with different flavors.It is usually served with vegetables, such as carrots and green onions, and eggs on top.

In Central Asia the dish has thicker noodles, is significantly spicier, and is known as laghman.

Part of Tuna for Sushi

Here’s something that many may not know about Maguro(Tuna) or may not know what parts of the maguro we use here in Japan. I have seen some shows on TV when I was in the US and other countries, alot saw that they throw away good parts of the maguro. Here in Japan we usually don’t waste the whole fish, we use every part of the tuna for different sushi and dishes.

I will explain the parts of the tuna, where they are located, and what type of dish it is used for. I hope that the photo above is clear for you to understand what I’m about to explain. I will explain from the top and go clock wise in order.

• Senaka: Is the center back part of the tuna, this part is mainly used for Sashimi and Chutoro Sushi. You can find this in any Sushi Restaurant and in fish markets that sell parts. This one of my favorite part to eat, cause it has a Medium level Fatty and usually not so expensive in sushi restaurants. *You may have to request this in Sushi Restaurants.

• Seshimo: Is the lower back part of the tuna, this part is mainly used for Sashimi and Chutoro Sushi. You can find this in any Sushi Restaurant and in fish markets that sells parts. *You may have to request this in Sushi Restaurants.

• Akami: Is the middle part of the tuna, this is the leaner part of the tuna. You can find this any where in Supermarkets, Sushi Restaurants, and markets. This is used in most sushi rolls, sashimi dishes, and sushi sets trays. My kids love this part of the tuna, cause it doesn’t have to much fatty and oil.

• O Te-ru: Is the tail part of the tuna. I’m not sure if you can find this in your country, It would have to be a Japanese Restaurant that server fish as their main course specialty. In Japan we use this part to make Steaks on the grill or at BarBQs and also have deep fried dish for this.

• Harashimo: Is the lower stomach part of the tuna, this part is also used for Sashimi, Otoro, and Chutoro. You may find this in Sushi Restaurants, but you may have to ask for it when ordering. This part is also very good, but it could be a little expensive. Due to it is very fatty and oily, the more fatty and oily the part of the tuna the more expensive it gets.

• Haranaka: Is the center stomach part of the tuna, this part is used for both Sashimi and Chutoro. You may find this in Sushi Restaurants, but you may have to ask for it when ordering. This part of the tuna is very good.

• Harakami: Is the upper stomach part of the tuna, this part is also used for Sashimi and Otoro. You may find this in Sushi Restaurants, but you may have to ask for it when ordering. This part is also very good, but it could be a little expensive. Due to it is very fatty and oily, the more fatty and oily the part of the tuna the more expensive it gets.

• Kama Toru: Is one part of the neck side of the tuna, this part of the tuna is used in Sushi, and in Donburi. You may find this in Fish Restaurants that specialty in fish menus. I haven’t tried this part of the tuna, but I have got a lot feed back that it’s very delicious.

• Kama: Is one part of the neck side of the tuna, this part of the tuna is used in Sushi, and in Donburi. You may find this in Fish Restaurants that specialty in fish menus. I haven’t tried this part of the tuna, but I have got a lot feed back that it’s very delicious.

• Noten: Is the upper head part of the tuna, this part of the is used in Soups, Donburi, and Grilled. You may also find this in Fish Restaurants that specialty in fish menus. I haven’t this part of the tuna also, I’m still waiting on my friends feedback on this.

• Hohoniku: Is the cheek part of the tuna, this part is mostly used for Nabe Meals(Hot pots). I haven’t tried this yet cause its very hard to find this part of the fish in the supermarkets. This maybe hard to find in your area. I have tried this as a Nabe dish and it’s very delicious.

• Sekami: Is the upper back part of the tuna, this part is used for Sashimi and Chutoro. This part of the tuna you can find in most Sushi Restaurants. You may have to ask for it when ordering. This part of the tuna is very tasty and it has about medium fatty and oil on it.

Nori Salty

Production

Production and processing of nori by current methods is a highly advanced form of agriculture. The biology of Porphyra, although complicated, is well understood, and this knowledge is used to control virtually every step of the production process. Farming takes place in the sea where the Porphyra plants grow attached to nets suspended at the sea surface and where the farmers operate from boats. The plants grow rapidly, requiring about 45 days from "seeding" until the first harvest. Multiple harvests can be taken from a single seeding, typically at about ten-day intervals. Harvesting is accomplished using mechanical harvesters of a variety of configurations. Processing of raw product is mostly accomplished by highly automated machines that accurately duplicate traditional manual processing steps, but with much improved efficiency and consistency. The final product is a paper-thin, black, dried sheet of approximately 18×20 cm (7.087×7.874 in) and 3 grams in weight.

There are several grades of nori available in the United States. The most common, and least expensive, grades are imported from China, costing about six cents per sheet. At the high end, ranging up to ninety cents per sheet, are "delicate shin-nori (nori from the first of the year's several harvests) cultivated in Ariake Bay, off the island of Kyushu in Japan."Like a fine wine, nori available only in Japan can cost up to US$50 per sheet.[citation needed]

In Japan, over 600 square kilometres (230 sq. mi.) of Japanese coastal waters are given to producing 350,000 tonnes (344,470 tons), worth over a billion dollars. China produces about a third of this amount.

Use

Nori is commonly used as a wrap for sushi and onigiri. It is also a common garnish or flavoring in noodle preparations and soups. Nori is most typically toasted prior to consumption ("yaki-nori" in Japanese). A very common and popular secondary product is toasted and flavored nori ("ajitsuke-nori" in Japanese), in which a flavoring mixture (variable, but typically soy sauce, spices, and sugar in the Japanese style or sesame oil and salt in the Korean style) is applied in combination with the toasting process. Nori is also eaten by making it into a soy sauce flavored paste noritsukudani (海苔佃煮).

In addition, nori is sometimes used as a form of food decoration.

A related product, prepared from the unrelated green algae Monostroma and Enteromorpha, is called aonori (青海苔 literally blue/green nori) and is used like herbs on everyday meals like okonomiyaki and yakisoba.
