Restaurant With a Pirate Theme


Jakarta - There are-there are ways of restaurateur attract visitors. Various in-exploration theme to make guests feel at home interested and then hang it in place.

Calico "borrowed" the settings and the theme of pirates. Calico itself has many meanings. Common we all know, is another name for calico fabric blacu. Calico is also the name of a town in California who in the past known in the heyday of gold mining there.

However, Calico also been associated with the pirates, aka pirate. At the beginning of the 18th century, a nakoda named John Rackham from the United Kingdom known as the most successful pirates in the Bahamas. "Keperkasaannya" as a pirate recognized people by giving the name of hero: Calico Jack. John Rackham is also the Jolly Roger flag introduce - picture of a skull and crossed bones in the lower leg - which later became the emblem of the pirate world.

Calico Resto is, of course, filled with knick-knacks bearing the Jolly Roger, pirate ships and decorative elements. There is a replica of the brewery (brewery installation), so impressed the pirates ... er, guest ... were actually being in a small brewery.

Menu at Calico mostly featuring Continental cuisine with the addition of several Asian menu like tom yam, oxtail soup, fried rice, and Indian curry. In addition to beer, of course, here also is a variety of mocktails (cocktails without alcohol), and other refreshments.

I ordered a tropical summer salad (USD 22 thousand) and chicken steak bell pepper (USD 24 thousand). In terms of price, we can immediately guess that Calico is a character dining with a friendly price. Quality of food also did not disappoint. Though priced at reasonable, but no attempt to show the best. For individual menus, the most expensive price is USD 35 thousand.

Tropical summer salad comes with an attractive appearance. I am actually somewhat surprised that the salad leaves used were Romain lettuce is crunchy and expensive, with slices of fresh fruit flavor and sweet-sour dressing.

Chicken pepper steak is also looking good. Even if raw material price of chicken is pretty cheap, but with performances like this is actually very decent for the price level priced at USD $ 30-thousands.

Other options on the menu that seems to be attempted on the following requests, among other things: fried mushroom appetizer ($ 25 thousand), wild crab cream soup (USD 14 thousand), seafood pasta (USD 28 thousand), tortugan grill (beef, USD 35 thousand). Fish & chips it also seems to be booked many guests here.

If you happen to pass Kemang during lunch break, drive the vehicle to the Calico, and Stop and rest for a moment to ngadem over lunch. Hey, you know too many mothers are gathering here. Ngarep dikerling pirate, kaleee? (Bondan Winarno)

Cake Recipes: Cassava Cake


Jakarta - Aha! Finally, gluten free!
After a long harbored a wish to make a gluten-free cake, finally achieved my goal too! Why should it be gluten free? No need, but for some people; MUST. A friend who has a autistic child would not want to have to find foods that are gluten free, because a person with autism is not allowed to eat foods that contain gluten. Flour is a food that contains gluten. What is meant by replacing the wheat was safe for children with autism? Unfortunately not. They also have to be careful of sugar, and some of them also suffered from allergies to other foods such as eggs.
What about the children who do not suffer from autism? According to Mr. Wied Harry, an expert in nutrition who is on tv that are pretty, are not digested gluten can disrupt the body's immune children. So you should not be too often consume foods that contain gluten main barium. So if I'm not mistaken. If wrong please repaired, yes.

Anyway, from the first I actually like the same cassava cakes sold Mamahku neighbors near the house. The cake I did not know his name, shaped like a small cake, shaped like a round pie, with light yellow color and he said from cassava. Hmm .. Mamah Usually when I'm ordering the cake is a celebration. If not there is an event? Yes, not ordered. So once a certain order amount is not small. So maybe I did not order a cake it was just 2-3 pieces.

Mamah actually have a recipe book with no pictures there singkongnya cake recipe, but another name, whatever, I forgot. The cake is apparently similar to what I mean cake. Why, he said, without pictures, really know that the cake is meant? You see on the cover of the recipe book there are photographs of small cakes that are similar to those of the cassava cake. But I never dared to make.

Sometimes God likes to force also yes, ha ha ha! Looks like he knows what mauku, but he knew also I like lazy, then it seems Kompas newspaper last Sunday somewhat 'forced' to actually try to make it. The cake recipe 'reappear' in newspaper pages with the name Lapis Cassava Cake. Cake is layered with three colors. Colored with synthetic dyes, of course.
I'm already committed to eliminate as much as possible of synthetic dyes in foods that I make. So, was published the idea of ​​natural dyes: Suji.

Unfortunately, I did not carefully read the recipe. In the list of required materials not listed the grated coconut. I just want to make it, I realized that in the description how to make a written "mix the grated coconut ..". Ha? Ouch ... gini hell why not complete, list of ingredients? As a result, the event was postponed a day to make a cake for buying the grated coconut. Understandably, the time available to make the cake very short: only limited time napping children. Once they wake up, then ended the show cook-cook it: D

Finally the next day so I also make this cake. Coconut dose parutnya only thought about myself. Another dose of any so I made a cup size. The result is fragrant smell fragrant pandan leaves and bright green color. The top was also kutaburi toasted almonds. Was hell, the wish sprinkled with toasted walnuts (walnuts on the cake reminded me of the cake recipes in the past) but since kenarinya have not had time to bake, so improvise aja deh. Unfortunately, this cake a bit damp underneath. Actually not one of the recipes. I guess because I was not dry enough to squeeze singkongnya. Lha wong I just kept squeezing disposable hand drained in peniris aja kok. Lazy indeed. Next time, use a napkin to squeeze singkongnya deh till rain in almost-almost!

So, ladies and gentlemen, there are two lessons to be seen in that I made a mistake this time. So learn from my mistake and DO NOT DO IT! What you have to do is:
1. READ BEFORE YOU THOUROUGHLY A Recipe Decide TO MAKE IT. Especially on the source of recipes that do not specialize in the field of cooking.
2. DRY HARD til SQUEEEEZE. Singkongnya do not just drained yes ... : P

Well, after menguingat fault-hiks-remember-let's look at the recipe. Good luck!

As a complement, Mustard Potato, boiled potatoes cut the mustard sauce wrapped in a savory fragrance. Also various vegetables membaut setup this dish so completely delicious.

The next charm comes from the Autumn Calamari. Two tail yellowish squid wrapped yellow sauce smelled savory nose piercing. Hmm ... how tasty is not stroking the tongue? Fried squid dry with a given egg flour dough. Once this is just squid mixed with salted egg sauce.

Taste delicious steady deeply felt strong on the tongue. Firstly because krenyes savory taste mealy squid and the second because of the sandy texture of savory sauce boiled salted egg yolk. It is usually fried shrimp wrapped in salted egg yolk sauce. It turned out more awesome cumipun sauce is delicious with a bandage.

A glass of Tequila Green Lagoon (Rp 80,000), my message to rinse the savory taste in the mouth. Beverage concoction consisting of tequila, rum and grenadine syrup is slightly sour taste sweet. Tampilannyapun no less beautiful. Green color with a red base is special because it sprinkled with seaweed.
