SHABURI SHABU SHABU GRAND INDONESIA

Hi fellas, I'm back!! Today i'm gonna review about one of the delicious restaurant in Jakarta, it's called Shaburi. Yup, yesterday i had meet up with my former university friends and we decide to had a lunch there.

Shaburi Shabu-Shabu is Japanese all you can eat shabu-shabu restaurant and it is located at Gandaria City, Grand Indonesia, Pacific Place Mall, Emporium Pluit Mall and so on. Yesterday I went to Shaburi at Grand Indonesia branch. 

It has a lot of menu such as gyudon, shabu-shabu (of course), sushi, appetizer such as french fries, chicken kariage, sweet potato tempura, and they also have a dessert. The dessert is vanilla and matcha ice cream or u can mix them. Unfortuneatly, i don't have a chance to take a photo of all menu so i just can share this photo.

Before u eat shabu-shabu, the waitress will come to u and ask which soup u gonna eat. There were 5 variant of soup and i choose Chicken Collagen Paitan. 

For me, the menu in this restaurant is delicious and healthy so even if u on diet, u can still eat here without feeling guilty. But unfortuneatly, Shaburi has a time limit for lunch and dinner, it's only 90 minutes on weekdays and on weekend they have 75 minutes for lunch and 90 minutes for dinner. So if u already go into Shaburi just pick up the food directly before time is over.

Yup, that's it for today. I was really happy yesterday coz finally i can meet my former university friends after such a long time yeayyy. Playing with them makes me miss Korea and wanna go there again (i hope i can go there). See u fellas :)

Lots of love

[TRAVEL EDITION] A PLACE THAT HAVE TO VISIT IN BUSAN

Hi fellas, happy Sunday! How's your Sunday? It must be good right, and if u have a bad day today don't worry coz i will be post about something that maybe interesting for u :)

Today i'm gonna post about a place that u have to visit when u go to Busan. What is Busan? I know that some of u don't familiar about this town coz people know more about Seoul than Busan but if u watch Korean drama "Reply 1997" u must be know :D Well, Busan is the second biggest metropolitan city in South Korea after Seoul. It has many beaches, mountains, temples and so on. This city's atmosphere is same as Surabaya and Karanganyar in Indonesia and Chicago and Los Angeles in United States

• Haeundae Beach: Hauendae Beach is the most famous beach in Busan. It is located at Haeundae District and people usually go to this beach on summer, so if u go to Haeundae on summer season u will see a lot of people here, especially at evening. I've been to Haeundae when i first came to Korea but not so many people went there coz it was still winter season and of course it was really cold and nobody swam there :p

• Gwangalli Beach: Gwangalli Beach is also the famous beach in Busan and it is located at Gwangan District. I suggest u go to Gwangalli Beach at night coz u can see the lightness of Gwangan Bridge and it's so beautiful. At night,there's a lot street performance and when i watched cover dance performance the dancer mistaken me as Thai coz my face really doesn't look like Indonesian. Then in the morning many people jogging there coz it also has a jogging track and last year i'm often joged here in the morning.

• Nampo-dong: Nampo-dong is one of tourist attraction in Busan. It is a shopping district where u can fullfill ur shopping district coz there are a lot of stuff with cheap price but good quality, it's the same as Mangga Dua in Jakarta. When i went there, i bought shoes, skirt, hair pin and many more. I'm also did photoshoot here just for fun hihihi. Then u can also find a variant of Korean cosmetics such as Etude House, Nature Republic, Innisfree, The Face Shop and many more.

• Taejongdae: This place is famous with it rock beach and it is located along with Oryukdo island. It's an ideal place for u who like to hiking and my senior in my former university said that many of older people hiking there. Hope that i can go there when i go to Busan again :)

• Jagalchi Market: The most famous market in Busan. It sells many of seafood such as raw fish, squid and many more. In here, u can also find a Korean traditional street food such as tteokbokki, odeng, sundae, and many more. 

• Haedong Yonggungsa Temple: This temple is located at coast of north-eastern portion of Busan and it is one of the famous temple here. I've been here once when my university had a cultural experience trip and I prayed there. 

Yup, that's it for today and if u wanna know more about Busan u can visit

[ILLUSTRATION] SHADOWBOXING PROJECT

Hi everyone, today i'm gonna share to you about my illustration project which called shadowboxing. Fyi, now i'm study illustration at Carrot Academy which is located at Pulomas, East Jakarta. My school is really really far from my home, which is i have to spend one until one half an hour to get there.

Ok then, so i will tell u about what is shadowboxing project. Shadowboxing is a drawing technique which is u have to guess what kind of technique that the artist use to make their masterpiece. I made my shadowboxing project with reference study from Ilya Kuvshinov.

Btw, this project is still in progress hihihihi and i have to finish it as quickly as possible. During doing shadowboxing project, i got so many critic and compliment from my classmate. He said that i need to make it as soft as Ilya's work. 

Ok then, that's it for today. Today is my last holiday coz tomorrow i will be back into my normal routine, drawing hehehehe. I regret a little bit coz during holiday i'm not drawing a lot coz lot of procrastination and also a few event such as meditation workshop and my holiday trip to Puncak. Then i'm also busy to looking for university that i'm gonna entry, btw before study illustration i used to study at Kyungsung University in Busan, Korea took Korean Language and Literature as my major, but due to my health condition i can't finish my study in Korea so i need to look for the university here then i can continue my study at university until i get Bachelor Degree. 

See u on my next post fellas :)

[TRAVEL EDITION] FAMILY VACATION IN PUNCAK

Hi everyone, as I promised i will share you about my family vacation trip in Puncak. From Thursday until today i had a trip in Puncak with my family to celebrate New Year, and we also wanna escape from hectic Jakarta to calm place for a while :D

So, on Thursday me and my family went from home to Puncak about 10.50 am and we arrived at Puncak around 2 pm and we went to my aunty's villa directly. Yup, during four days and three nights i stayed at my aunty's villa in Puncak so i don't need to look for hotel anymore coz i got a free stay :D
Fyi, this villa is located across Ayam Goreng Cianjur and to find out this villa you have to "masuk gang".

I really like this villa coz it's really cozy and the yard is sooo wide, and i'm played soccer there (who said that soccer is only boys sport, girls can play too). Sometimes i played by myself or with my cousins, beside that i'm also workout, do capoeira and dance there hihihihi. Then there's another room beside the villa and it has table tennis' table, so we can play it. Yesterday i played a table tennis with my niece against my older brother and cousin and we lost :(. But, it's okay, it doesn't matter. The matter is it's fun, that's it :D

On second and third day, we celebrated new year with barbeque party and grilled chicken coz my aunty brought it from Jakarta hihihi. 

At night, we also had a shabu-shabu party but i'm not took the photos coz i'm too enjoyed the food so i didn't have a time to take it, sorry.

So far, i think this trip was really fun coz i had a chance to make a quality time with my family, but unfortuneatly i'm not use my time wisely coz i'm too busy with my smartphone :(. Yup, next time i should less using my smartphone and interact more with people around me, it could be my family, friends, lover, or anyone. 

Yup, that's it for today. Unfortuneatly, during my vacation trip suddenly i catched a cold :(. So, after arrived in Puncak, suddenly i snooze non-stop and my nose just started runny. Maybe i should rest more so this cold will be go away. See u fellas :)

Lots of love
