Prawns, Pollution and Indonesia
or
Hallelujah, I made it back alive
By Zhixin
Before I left for Jakarta, I was convinced that some sort of freak accident will happen as the biography of my life has shown that Lady Luck never fails to stray away from my side. Thank god (and also Singapore and Indonesia's tight security) I'm here to blog- or spout rubbish, either is fine- again.
First of all, there's the irresistable delectables that accompanied me through my 5-day trip. (I've taken a lot of pictures, drool away!)
Tada!~ I present to you... CHINESE DUMPLINGS!
You might think that there's nothing fantastic about minced pork in flour. You are so wrong! Getting the skin of the dumpling to be of the right taste and thickness takes skill and time. Honestly, it's one of the best dumplings I have ever eaten in my life. And trust me, I've eaten alot.
You can get these mouth-watering dumplings at 'Da Niang' (Big Mom or Big Auntie or both) Dumpling Shop.
The above pictures are all from the Da Niang Dumpling Shop. (That's not the exact name but I was too busy being fascinated with the dumplings to pay attention to the name of the shop.)
The next day, we went to SAMUDRA for dimsum which was absolutely appetizing.
Note: I don't take dimsum normally, don't really
like them.
The Zhu Chang Fen has prawns inside!!! My god! I absolutely adore prawns! I have to go for dimsum soon! I love the charsiew bao too cause the bun is absolutely delicious, totally opposite from the usual charsiew baos that I detest so much.
No I have no idea what's this but its supposedly quite ex. (And it looks quite nice)
Next I went to this foodcourt and found this relatively out of the ordinary otah! Yes, it's white!
Brace yourself. This might come as a shock.
Indonesian pet shops sell MONKEYS! Yes, monkeys! The kind you see in the ZOO!
Ain't he adorable?
Sorry.
It's so cruel to cage monkeys! They need to swing trees! It's inhumane!
Did you notice the air of sadness of this sweetie's hunched up position?
Did you notice its despondence?
I did.
I present to you, the canine version of Zaizai

Ok, sounds lame, but this pooch has chocolate pools for eyes. Captivating.

Notice! It's pasta matrix, not pastamania!
