Katz's Delicatessen

Katz's Delicatessen, also known as simply Katz's of New York City, is a kosher-style (not Kosher according to Jewish Halacha) delicatessen restaurant located at 205 E. Houston Street, on the south-west corner of Houston and Ludlow Streets, in Manhattan.

Since its founding in 1888, it has become popular among locals and tourists alike for its pastrami sandwiches and hot dogs, both of which are widely considered among New York's best. Each week, Katz's serves 5,000 pounds of corned beef, 2,000 pounds of salami and 12,000 hot dogs.

During World War II, Katz's encouraged parents to "send a salami to your boy in the army" which became one of the deli's famous catch phrases,[2] along with "Katz's, that's all!" which is still painted on the side of the building. The former phrase is referenced in the Tom Lehrer song "So Long Mom (A Song for World War III)", with the lyric "Remember Mommy, I'm off to get a commie, so send me a salami, and try to smile somehow". Katz is also well known for its photos of famous people eating in Katz's placed along its wall.

Katz's continues its "Send a salami to your boy in the army" to this day. The deli has arranged special international shipping only for U.S. military addresses and has been a source of gift packages to the troops stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq.


As each customer enters Katz's they are handed a printed, numbered ticket by the door attendant. As they receive their food from various stations/areas throughout the deli (separate for sandwiches/hot dogs/bottled drinks/fountain drinks etc/ a running total of the bill before tax is computed by the employees. If several people's orders are combined on a single ticket, the blank ones are collected by the cashier. Relatively recently (within the last 10 years) Katz's has instituted a "lost ticket fee" If a ticket is lost by a customer, an additional $50 surcharge is added to what is often (with sandwiches costing between $15-$17) a rather large bill. The purpose of the fee, as stated by the management is to encourage patrons to go back and find the lost ticket in the hopes of preventing theft (substituting a smaller ticket for a larger one).

Katz's was the site of Meg Ryan's and Estelle Reiner's famous "I'll have what she's having" fake orgasm scene in the 1989 romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally...; the table at which she and Billy Crystal sat, is marked with a sign that says "Where Harry met Sally...hope you have what she had!". It was also the site of Johnny Depp's character meeting with an FBI contact in Donnie Brasco. Katz's Deli is also the site for a scene in Across the Universe in which one of the main characters reveals he has been drafted into the Vietnam War. Katz's also appears in the movie Enchanted with Patrick Dempsey and Amy Adams.

Cake

Cake is a form of food, typically a sweet, baked dessert. Cakes normally contain a combination of flour, sugar, eggs, and butter or oil, with some varieties also requiring liquid (typically milk or water) and leavening agents (such as yeast or baking powder). Flavorful ingredients like fruit purées, nuts or extracts are often added, and numerous substitutions for the primary ingredients are possible. Cakes are often filled with fruit preserves or dessert sauces (like pastry cream), iced with buttercream or other icings, and decorated with marzipan, piped borders or candied fruit.

Cake is often the dessert of choice for meals at ceremonial occasions, particularly weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays. There are countless cake recipes; some are bread-like, some rich and elaborate and many are centuries old. Cake making is no longer a complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into cake making (particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been simplified that even the most amateur cook may bake a cake.

Dim Sum Fast food

Two women picking microwave-cooked dim sum from the freezer in Circle K, Hong Kong.

Certain kinds of instant dim sum have come onto the market in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan and Singapore. People can enjoy snacks after a 3-minute defrosting and reheating of the instant dim sum in a microwave oven.

Some stalls serve "street dim sum" which usually consists of dumplings or meatballs steamed in a large container, but served on a bamboo skewer. The customer can dip the whole skewer into a sauce bowl and eat while standing or walking.

Dim sum can be purchased from major grocery stores in most countries with a Chinese population. These dim sum can be easily cooked by steaming or microwaving. Major grocery stores in Hong Kong, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Mainland China, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand, Australia, United States and Canada have a variety of dim sum stocked at the shelves. These include dumplings, siu maai, bau, cheong fun, lo bak go and steamed spare ribs. In Singapore, as well as other countries, dim sum can also be purchased from convenience stores, coffee shops and other eateries. There is also halal certified dim sum available, with chicken taking the place of pork which in addition to Singapore is very popular in Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei.

Kobe Beef

Kobe beef (神戸ビーフ, Kōbe Bīfu?) refers to cuts of beef from the black Tajima-ushi breed of Wagyu cattle, raised according to strict tradition in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. The meat is generally considered to be a delicacy, renowned for its flavour, tenderness, and fatty, well-marbled texture. Kobe beef can be prepared as steak, sukiyaki, shabu shabu, sashimi, teppanyaki and more.

Kobe beef is also called "Kobe-niku" (神戸肉?, lit. Kobe meat), "Kobe-gyū" (神戸牛?, lit Kobe cow) or "Kobe-ushi" (神戸牛?, lit Kobe cow) in Japanese.

History

The Wagyu cattle that produce this highly prized meat were introduced into Japan in the second century as work animals, used in rice cultivation. As beef consumption became more prominent in society, farmers began hiring workers to massage the animals' backsides to improve meat quality. The mountainous topography of the islands of Japan resulted in small regions of isolated breeding, yielding herds that developed and maintained qualities in their meat that differ significantly from all other breeds of cattle. Herd isolation and distinctive feeding techniques which resulted from the limited land availability have led to distinguishing features that make the meat both superior in marbling and in the ratios of unsaturated versus saturated fats.

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.

True ice cream

Ice cream recipes first appear in 18th century England and America. A recipe for ice cream was published in Mrs. Mary Eales's Receipts in London 1718.

To ice CREAM. Take Tin Ice-Pots, fill them with any Sort of Cream you like, either plain or sweeten'd, or Fruit in it; shut your Pots very close; to six Pots you must allow eighteen or twenty Pound of Ice, breaking the Ice very small; there will be some great Pieces, which lay at the Bottom and Top: You must have a Pail, and lay some Straw at the Bottom; then lay in your Ice, and put in amongst it a Pound of Bay-Salt; set in your Pots of Cream, and lay Ice and Salt between every Pot, that they may not touch; but the Ice must lie round them on every Side; lay a good deal of Ice on the Top, cover the Pail with Straw, set it in a Cellar where no Sun or Light comes, it will be froze in four Hours, but it may stand longer; than take it out just as you use it; hold it in your Hand and it will slip out. When you wou'd freeze any Sort of Fruit, either Cherries, Rasberries, Currants, or Strawberries, fill your Tin-Pots with the Fruit, but as hollow as you can; put to them Lemmonade, made with Spring-Water and Lemmon-Juice sweeten'd; put enough in the Pots to make the Fruit hang together, and put them in Ice as you do Cream.

The earliest reference to ice cream given by the Oxford English Dictionary is from 1744, reprinted in a magazine in 1877. 1744 in Pennsylvania Mag. Hist. & Biogr. (1877) I. 126 Among the rarities..was some fine ice cream, which, with the strawberries and milk, eat most deliciously.

The 1751 edition of The Art of Cookery made Plain and Easy by Hannah Glasse features a recipe for ice cream. OED gives her recipe: H. GLASSE Art of Cookery (ed. 4) 333 (heading) To make Ice Cream..set it [sc. the cream] into the larger Bason. Fill it with Ice, and a Handful of Salt.

1768 saw the publication of L'Art de Bien Faire les Glaces d'Office by M. Emy, a cookbook devoted entirely to recipes for flavoured ices and ice cream.

Ice cream was introduced to the United States by Quaker colonists who brought their ice cream recipes with them. Confectioners sold ice cream at their shops in New York and other cities during the colonial era. Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson were known to have regularly eaten and served ice cream. First Lady Dolley Madison is also closely associated with the early history of ice cream in the United States. One respected history of ice cream states that, as the wife of U.S. President James Madison, she served ice cream at her husband's Inaugural Ball in 1813.

Around 1832, Augustus Jackson, an African American confectioner, not only created multiple ice cream recipes, but he also invented a superior technique to manufacture ice cream.

In 1843, Nancy Johnson of Philadelphia was issued the first U.S. patent for a small-scale handcranked ice cream freezer. The invention of the ice cream soda gave Americans a new treat, adding to ice cream's popularity. This cold treat was probably invented by Robert Green in 1874, although there is no conclusive evidence to prove his claim.

Ice cream sundaes with fruit, nuts, and a wafer

The ice cream sundae originated in the late 19th century. Several men claimed to have created the first sundae, but there is no conclusive evidence to back up any of their stories. Some sources say that the sundae was invented to circumvent blue laws, which forbade serving sodas on Sunday. Towns claiming to be the birthplace of the sundae include Buffalo, New York; Two Rivers, Wisconsin; Ithaca, New York; and Evanston, Illinois. Both the ice cream cone and banana split became popular in the early 20th century. Several food vendors claimed to have invented the ice cream cone at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, MO. However, Europeans were eating cones long before 1904.

In the UK, ice cream remained an expensive and rare treat, until large quantities of ice began to be imported from Norway and the US in the mid Victorian era. A Swiss-Italian businessman, Carlo Gatti, opened the first ice cream stall outside Charing Cross station in 1851, selling scoops of ice cream in shells for one penny.

Wisata Kuliner di Lombok

Dari wisata kuliner tradisional Lombok, kami tak lupa menyantap masakan bercitarasa internasional atau dari daerah lainnya. Maka sembari menikmati romantisme matahari terbenam di Pura Batu Bolong Senggigi, kami jalan kaki menyusuri pantai ke arah Cafe Alberto.

Sebuah restoran dan cafe yang memiliki outdoor setting. Di mana kursi-kursi dan meja-meja makan diletakkan di bibir pantai, seperti di Jimbaran Bay, Bali. Dilengkapi lilin yang berpendar lembut. Kami menikmati fruit punch sembari memandang langit jingga pelan-pelan berganti warna menjadi biru pekat dan gelap.

Resto ini memiliki sajian eccletic serta beberapa menu nasional dan menitikberatkan sajian pada pizza yang dimasak pakai oven berbahan bakar kayu. Pilihan kami jatuh pada paket bebek goreng dengan nasi.

Di kesempatan dinner lainnya, kami bertandang ke Lotus Restaurant. Sebuah tempat makan yang membuat kami selalu ingin datang kembali, setiap kali berkunjung ke Lombok. Dengan setting menghadap bibir pantai, interior resto ini senada dengan chain Lotus Restaurant yang ada di Ubud. Baik di kawasan Monkey Forest maupun Jalan Raya, yang berlokasi dekat Pura Saraswati.

Meja ditutup dengan ubin keramik bergambar teratai dan daunnya serta seekor kodok. Sementara wadah lilin dan vas bunganya melukiskan kelopak-kelopak teratai. Resto ini juga memiliki chain di Singapura.

Sebagai appetizer, favorit kami adalah cheese samosa. Bentuknya tak beda dengan samosa berbentuk segitiga. Tapi isinya keju yang langsung lumer di lidah begitu digigit. Hidangan ini disajikan dengan saos chutney plum. Terbuat dari buah plum segar dicincang, yang dimasak dengan cabe merah dan gula hingga menghasilkan saos bertekstur kasar.

Beranjak ke main course, kami memilih sirloin steak dengan saos mushroom. Kadang-kadang juga black pepper sirloin steak atau chicken cordon bleu. Bila tengah merindukan citarasa makanan lokal, opsi kami Ayam Betutu, Grilled Fish a'la Jimbaran atau Nasi Campur Bali.

Berangkat dari chain Lotus Restaurant yang bermarkas di Pulau Dewata, tak heran kalau sajian Nasional mereka juga khas Bali. Ayam Betutu sajian Lotus Restaurant Senggigi sudah mengalami modifikasi sedemikian rupa, hingga pedasnya tak begitu menyengat.

Cara penyajiannya, ayam ditempatkan dalam sebuah bowl bersama nasi putih dan lawar sayuran.

Sementara Grilled Fish a'la Jimbaran, tak lain seekor ikan kakap merah utuh yang dibakar sambil dibubuhi cabe giling, bawang putih, sedikit kecap manis dan mentega serta dikucuri jeruk nipis sebelum dihidangkan dalam piring datar model daun teratai. Padanannya nasi putih tabur bawang goreng, lawar sayuran serta sambal bajak.

Sedangkan Nasi Campur Bali nya tak banyak berbeda dengan nasi campur Bali pada umumnya. Berupa hidangan sepinggan [one dish meal] berisi nasi putih dilengkapi lawar sayuran, goreng tahu-tempe, kerupuk, sambal, kakap dimasak santan serta sate ayam -khusus ayam ini, juga modifikasi. Umumnya, satenya berupa Sate Pusut [sate ikan] dan masih ada tambahan item berupa sayatan-sayatan daging babi.

Hidangan serba sedap ini kami tutup dengan dessert Apfelstrudel. Apel bercitarasa asam yang ditumis bersama bubuk kayumanis, gula pasir dan kismis, lalu dibalut dengan adonan pastry serta dipanggang. Penyajiannya ditaburi bubuk gula halus, ditambah satu scoop es krim vanilla.

Japanese Resto

Wuihhh dah lama ne memainkan jari di atas keyboard untuk OpenRice..

Okeyy.. kali ini gw mo critain pengalaman gw ttg resto jepang di daerah wijaya..
Gw baru tau klo disini ada resto jepang, dr luar aja tuh designya dah Jepang bgt..

Pas masuk ke dalem.. Beuuuuhhhh...serasa masuk rumah Nobita..

Live TV nya aja nyiarin OlahRaga Bela diri khas Jepang..yaitu Sumo..
Tapi asli emg gw baru sekali ini masuk ke resto Jepang berasa banget kyk di Jepang..
Dan emg disini Chef nya asli dari Jepang..

Oke gw ga crita banyak..Lets talk bout food..
Gw mesen yg ringan2 aja..karena sebelumnya udh makan banyak di tempat lain..

Torigen Gyoza (IDR 32.000++)
Gw pernah denger ini appetizer khas Cina tetapi sangat Populer di Jepang. Bentuk nya seperti dim sum tapi di goreng. Dalemnya sayuran dicampur dengan ayam, setau gw goyza itu bahan2 adonan nya tuh Jepang bgt, ada campuran Nira & Sake di dalamnya, jangan heran klo harga nya mahal tapi isinya cuma 5 biji.
Sayurannya gw ga tau de, kyknya sih daun bawang di campur ayam. Nah ini ada saosnya juga, setau gw saos nya campuran dari Soya Saos + Vinegar.
Untuk rasa nya...mantaf gan, rasa ayam yg di combine sayurannya trus di celupin sma saos nya..beehhh ga bisa di ungkapkan dgn kata2..soalnya agak susah ngomong klo pas lagi ngunyah plg smbil goyang2 jempol tangan aja..

Chicken Tempura (Lupa harganya)
Nah ini bahan2 g perlu di ceritain, karena cukup familiar sm org indo, tapi rasanya gw ga yakin lo pernah ngerasain tempura asli buatan Chef Jepang..recommend untuk di coba

Coffee Club

Bila anda pencinta kopi dan ingin meminum berbagai jenis kopi dari Indonesia dan International, singgahlah di Coffee Club Pacific Place.

Letak dari cafe ini agak terpencil memang, karena berada di sudut lantai satu Pacific Place. HANYA SAJA, bagi anda yang alergi dengan asap rokok.. sebaiknya jangan ke sini. Memang, mereka menyediakan ruangan bagi perokok, dan non perokok. Tetapi begitu kita masuk ke dalam cafe ini, asap rokok sangatlah terasa.

Karena sudah agak lama "mampir" ke Coffee Club, jadi saya lupa nama minuman yang kita pesan. Setahu aku, aku memesan "aged Sunmatera Mandheling" dan temanku memesan minuman yang ada "pisang"nya dan lemon tea... Jadinya aku akan mereview kopi dan ruangan di Coffee Club ini saja.

Untuk Kopi, di sini menyediakan berbagai macam kopi dari dalam dan luar negeri. ada dari Jawa, Sumatera, Kenya, dan lain-lain. Pada menu-nya, mereka melampirkan ukuran2 dari BODY, ACIDITY dan AROMA-nya daskala satu sampai enam bintang. Mereka menggunakan biji kopi ARABIKA, jadinya bisa dibilang "kualitas" kopi yang tinggi.

Karena menjelaskan kopi Arabika, tidak ada salahnya saya menjelaskan lawan dari Arabika, yakni ROBUSTA. Sebenarnya perbedaan jelas dari robusta dan arabika adalah dari 'harga"nya. Robusta memiliki harga yang lebih rendah (murah). keunggulan Robusta adalah mereka dapat tumbuh di berbagai kondisi lingkungan dibandingkan dengan Arabika. Kemudian waktu yang lebih singkat untuk menghasilkan biji kopi (sekitar 2-3 tahun) dibandingkan dengan tumbuhan kopi Arabika (3-4 tahun). Hanya saja, kadar kafein di Robusta lebih tinggi dari Arabika. Tetapi tidak jarang campuran kopi Arabika dan Robusta itu menghasilkan kopi yang wangi dan lezat.

OH iya, Karena wangi dan rasa kopi tergantung dengan lingkungan dan cuaca, maka kita bisa menebak "pohon" apa yang tumbuh di sekitarnya. ada yang kebuah-buahan, kekayu-kayuan dan sebagainya.

Coffee Club, menyediakan berbagai macam kopi Arabika dari dalam dan luar negeri. Ada yang harganya "WOW" dan ada juga yang standart. Tapi karena mereka menggunakan arabika, jadinya tidak salah jika kopi hitam yang di jual berada di atas 20.000 IDR.

Seingatku yang menarik perhatianku adalah adanya Aged Sumatera Mandheling. Karena ini adalah cafe ke dua aku menemukan kopi "lama" atau kuno. (pertama di Malang dengan nama cafe "JAVA DANCE COFFEE") Jadinya, aku segera memesan itu. Sayangnya, mereka juga menggunakan expresso machine untuk mengolah kopi-nya. jadi wangi dan kekentalannya menurun. Tetapi uniknya mereka memberikan kue kering di samping cangkirnya menemani kopi pahitnya.

Ruangan di Coffee Club sangatlah romantis. Aku katakan romantis karena pencahayaannya yang remang-remang, dan dekorasinya yang cantik membuat suasana "cafe" ini menjadi indah. Mereka memasang lagu-lagu yang easy listening juga dengan volume yang cukup. Tidak terlalu besar yang bisa mengganggu nikmatnya bercanda gurau dengan teman-teman.

OH...Coffee Club juga menyediakan berbagai macam makanan baik ringan sampai berat. Yang sempat terlihat dan tergoda adalah ketika melihat pancake-nya. Sayangnya kami sudah keburu kenyang karena sebelumnya makan di RAMEN 38. jadi kami hanya nongkrong di sana untuk menunggu macet dan mengobrol.

Overall, bagi anda pecinta koppi, tidak ada salahnya mencoba Coffee Club. Karena cukup romantis dan tenang, baik untuk berdua dengan kekasih, beramai-ramai dengan teman, maupun sendirian sambil menikmati buku kesukaan.

Salam

Dondurma

Dondurma (Turkish, literally "freezing") is the name given to ice cream in Turkey. Dondurma typically includes the ingredients milk, sugar, salep, and mastic, and may originate from the Turkish region of Kahramanmaraş.

Two qualities distinguish Turkish ice cream: texture and resistance to melting. Inclusion of the thickening agents salep, a flour made from the root of the Early Purple Orchid, and mastic, a resin, impart chewiness.

The Kahramanmaraş region is known for maraş dondurması, a variety which contains distinctly more salep than usual; tough and sticky, it is sometimes eaten with a knife and fork.

Consumption and culture

Dondurma is commonly sold from both street vendor's carts and store fronts where the mixture is churned regularly with long-handled paddles to keep it workable.

As of 2010, the average rate of consumption in Turkey was 2.8 liters of ice cream per person per year (compare to the USA at 18.3 liters per person in 2007, and world consumption leader New Zealand at 22-23 liters in 2006).

Some Turks adhere to a belief that cold foods, such as ice cream, will cause illnesses - such as sore throats and the common cold; it is held that consumption of warm liquid while consuming ice cream will counteract these effects.

The popularity of salepi dondurma has caused a decline of wild orchids in the region and led to a ban on exports of salep. Some translate salepi dondurma as "fox testicle ice cream"; however, the Turkish name comes directly from the Arabic name, saḥlab‎ ('orchid'), the two-lobed root of which resembles testicles.

Review From Member5

Hi all,

One of the best italian food, itulah pendapat saya tentang Nuzzy's mousse and resto ini.
Berikut cerita saya mengenai resto yang satu ini :
Saya ke Central Park Mall karena ada diskon 30% dari Gramedia, tapi karena suasana sore hari itu di toko buku tersebut sangat sangat padat, saya bersama doi tercinta membatalkan niat membeli buku. Dan ternyata tidak hanya di Gramedia saja yang sangat padat tapi hampir seluruh area mall (karena ada event superhero japan dan tentu saja care4 yang selalu rame di akhir pekan). Kami sudah pengap rasanya dan memutuskan pulang saja sambil berjalan2 terlebih dahulu di taman yang ada di salah satu mall terbesar di JakBar ini, tidak sengaja melihat monster2 milik Nuzzy yang lucu2 dan kebetulan di resto ini hanya didatangi beberapa pengunjung serta jauh dari hiruk pikuk manusia, maka kami memutuskan dinner di sini aja.

Resto ini terdiri dari outdoor dan indoor, kami memilih indoor saja karena kami non-smooker. Interior di dalam cukup unik dan suasana sangat comfort. Setelah melihat menu yang cukup besar dan dibingkai, kami memesan Soft Shell Atlantic Crab, Aglio Olio Smoked Beef, Choco Cream Coffee, dan Lyche Strawberry Tea.

Soft Shell Atlantic Crab - 35k
Tidak berasa ini merupakan kepiting soka, kepitingnya dan cangkangnya sangat lembut. Rasanya pas dan menari-nari di lidah. Tapi sayang tepungnya kurang cruncy. But It's perfect snack for starter.

Aglio Olio Smoked Beef - 35k (medium size)
Pasta dengan mushroom dan smoked beef yang dimasak dengan saus aglio (kata waiternya - bawang putih), cabe kering dan cream. Pasta-nya boleh pilih homemade fettucini, regular fettucini, spaghetti, dsb. Untuk homemade fettucini dibagi menjadi 4 warna : kuning, merah, hitam, dan hijau. Warna kuning dan hitam saya lupa kandungannya dari apa, untuk merah dari beef, dan hijau dari spinach. Saya memilih warna merah. Pada saat menu ini datang, warnanya merah semua, mengerikan . Tapi untuk rasa : PERFECTO. Rasanya didominasi oleh asin dan sedikit rasa pedas, tapi sangat pas di lidah. Luar Biasa Uenak . Kami sampai menyesal tidak pesan yang large.

Choco Cream Coffee - 24k
Cokelat, kopi, cream, dan cinnamon berpadu menjadi satu menjadi minuman yang sangat yummy. Saya sebenarnya tidak suka cinnamon tapi dengan adanya cinnamon di minuman ini membuat sensasi yang berbeda. MUST TRY, VERY RECOMMENDED.

Lyche Strawberry Tea - 24k
Teh dengan rasa lyche strawberry ini menyegarkan, tapi tidak special.

Setelah makanan kami yang super lezat di atas habis, kami tertarik untuk mencoba pizza-nya, akhirnya kami memesan Milano Marinara Pizza.
Milano Marinara Pizza - 52k(medium size)
Pizza dengan topping seafood, segala macam seafood ada di atas pizza ini mulai dari cumi sampai oyster. Untuk rasa OK, rasa amis yang biasa ada di seafood pizza masih acceptable. Pinggirannya sangat crunchy. Great Pizza for Seafood Pizza Lovers.

Makanan yang ada di resto ini superb, kami masih mau order menu lain lagi tapi karena mengingat perut yang sudah full kami mengurungkan niat kami. O ya selain Snack ringan, Pasta dan Pizza, terdapat juga soup, salad, burger & sandwich, paela, dan steak. Untuk minuman tersedia juga cocktail dan varian kopi lainnya.

Overall, seperti yang saya katakan di atas, One of the best italian food untuk Nuzzy's resto yang juga memiliki cabang di Napoli dan New York. Sayangnya resto ini terletak agak terpencil, yang membuat para pengunjung mall tidak menyadari kehadirannya.

Tips : kosongkan perut sebelum ke Nuzzy's karena anda pasti akan makan lagi, lagi, dan lagi

Museum Ramen

The "Shin-Yokohama Raumen Museum" is a unique museum about ramen. In a gallery on the first floor, the museum presents the history of ramen in Japan, including the big success of instant ramen. It displays the variety of noodles, soups, toppings and bowls used across Japan, and shows how the noodles are made. On the two basement floors, visitors can explore a 1:1 replica of some streets and houses of Shitamachi, the old town of Tokyo, circa 1958, when the popularity of ramen was rapidly increasing. Nine ramen restaurants can be found there, each featuring a ramen dish from a different region of Japan. For visitors who wish to try multiple ramen dishes, the restaurants offer "mini ramen" small portions. Tickets for the meals are purchased at vending machines in front of each restaurant before entering.

Kinds of Pasta

Pasta comes in an astonishing variety of shapes, some of which are common throughout Italy, and some of which are limited to a particular region, or even town. There are also specialty shapes produced by individual pasta makers.

Taken as a whole, pasta can be divided into pasta di semola di grano duro, made from durum wheat flour, water, and a little salt, and pasta all'uovo, which is made from eggs, flour, and salt. Commercial pasta all'uovo is generally made with durum wheat flour, which gives it a firmer texture and means it won't go soft if it's overcooked slightly (all pasta will become flabby if seriously overcooked). Homemade pasta is, on the other hand, generally made with cake flour, which has less gluten. Therefore, the cooking time of home made pasta all'uovo is more critical; if you leave it in the water too long it will become flabby.

Commercially made pasta can be divided into several basic kinds:

Sheet Pasta: Used primarily in making baked dishes. Often but not always all'uovo, with eggs.

• Cannelloni, also known as manicotti, and a pepper-and-ricotta filling.

• Lasagna: Square or rectangular sheets of pasta, which are cooked, interlayered with other ingredients and baked. There are many many variations.

Strips: Fettuccine, Linguini, tagliatelle, and so on. The broader strips are generally used for thick-to-chunky sauces, whereas the thinner strips are also used for creamier, though never really liquid sauces. Most of these pastas are made with egg, and will say all'uovo on the package.

• Pappardelle Broad strips, and a chunky tomato-mackerel sauce for them.

• Reginette Wavy-edged half-inch wide strips of pasta samed after Princess Mafalda of Savoy, which work quite well with rich sauces, and a pheasant breast sauce, that can also be made with duck or Guinea hen.

• Tagliatelle Quarter-inch strips of pasta, and a tomato and chicken breast sauce.

• Tagliatelline or Fettuccine Fine (1/8 of an inch) strips, and a smoked salmon sauce for them.

• Tagliolini All'Uovo The finest of strips, and a creamy mascarpone sauce for them.

Cooking Pasta

Cooking pasta is as easy as boiling water, but does require care.

1. You should figure 1 quart of water per quarter pound of pasta (1 liter of water per 100 grams of pasta), and expand this to 6 quarts for a pound. If you don't use enough water the pasta will be gummy, so don't stint.

2. Bring the water to a rolling boil, salt it with 2-3 teaspoons of kosher salt per quart of water. Don't skimp on the salt or the pasta will be unpleasantly bland -- it helps to keep in mind that Neapolitans, who are masters at cooking pasta, used to use sea water back when it was safe to do so.

3. Add the pasta, stirring gently to separate the pieces and keep them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

The pasta package will probably say how long the pasta should cook for, but don't trust it. A couple of minutes before it is supposed to be done, fish out a piece and break it open; in the center you will see a whitish area of uncooked pasta that is poetically known as the anima, or soul of the pasta. Ladle a couple of ladles of hot water into the serving bowl, swirl them about to warm it, discard them, and continue cooking the pasta until the anima barely fades. At this point drain the pasta, giving it one or two good shakes to remove most of the water (it will continue to absorb water for a minute or two), transfer it to the bowl, stir the sauce into it and serve.

As a variation, if the sauce is fairly liquid, say for penne rosé, warm it in a skillet as the pasta cooks, and when the pasta is just shy of being done drain it and transfer while it's still dripping it to the skillet. Turn the heat to high and toss the pasta as you would an omelet; as it finishes cooking it will absorb the sauce and taste much better. On restaurant menus pasta cooked this way is called strascicata or saltata in padella. There are hudreds of pasta recipes on this site; click on the pasta sauces and recipes link on the navigation bar to the left to reach them.

Pasta from Italiano

There are two basic kinds of commercial pasta:

• Pasta all'uovo, egg pasta such as tagliatelle, fettuccine, and whatnot (these are the same tagliatelle one makes at home, but made with semolina), and:

• Pasta di semola di grano duro, made with semolina, water and a touch of salt.

The former are flat and of varying width, while the latter comes in all sorts of shapes, from spaghetti to penne to cart wheels.

Which kind should you use?

Egg pasta goes well with hearty fare, for example meat-based sauces or rich pomarola. Tagliatelle are also commonly flavored with other ingredients, for example spinach, which turns them green, tomato, which turns them red, or squid ink, which turns them black. Lasagne made with egg pasta are also superb.

Because of the variety of shapes it comes in, pasta di semola di grano duro is more versatile; which shape to use depends upon the sauce and personal taste. Spaghetti, spaghettini, bucatini and other strands go well with fairly liquid sauces. Shorter hollow pastas, for example penne or tortiglioni, go well with thick sauces, in part because they trap the sauce. They also work well in baked dishes, because they have considerable body and can withstand being heated through a second time. Other shorter flat pastas, for example farfalle (butterflies or bow ties), work nicely with cream sauces because the sauce tends to stick to their surfaces.

In terms of purchasing commercial pasta, there are many brands to choose from; in Italy the most popular are Buitoni, De Cecco, Barilla, Agnesi, and Voiello (not necessarily in this order).

There is also pasta artigianale, pasta made in smaller factories by artisans whose chief concern is quality. Though the basic ingredients are the same, that's where the resemblance ends: The artisans extrude their pasta through bronze dies that leave microstriations to capture and hold the sauce, and also dry it at lower temperatures, thus preserving the flavors of the wheat. According to Nancy Harmon Jenkins, four of these producers export to the United States: Rustichella D'Abruzzo, Latini, Benedetto Cavalieri and Martelli.

Should you not find Italian pasta in your market: Read the labels of what's available, and pick pasta made with durum wheat flour or semolina. Avoid dried pasta made with simple bread or soft wheat flour (much of the Northern European pasta, for example) because it won't hold up to cooking.

Lontong pengganti nasi

Lontong adalah makanan khas Indonesia yang terbuat dari beras yang dikukus di dalam bungkus dari daun pisang. Lontong biasanya disajikan dengan sate, rujak atau gulai kambing. Walau makanan ini mirip dengan Buras, lontong lebih sering ditemukan di banyak rumah makan di Indonesia. Ini disebabkan karena cara pembuatan lontong yang lebih mudah dari ketupat. Ketupat yang dibuat juga dengan beras dalam daun kelapa muda (janur) biasanya lebih sering ditemukan pada masa hari raya Idul Fitri.

Karena dikukus dalam daun pisang, lontong dapat berwarna hijau di luarnya, sedangkan berwarna putih di dalamnya. Lontong banyak ditemui di pelbagai daerah di Indonesia sebagai pengganti nasi putih. Walau juga dibuat dari beras, lontong memiliki aroma yang khas. Yang pasti lontong dan ketupat adalah makanan masakan khas asli dan original buatan Indonesia. Keasliannya tak ubahnya dengan Warok. Kalaupun ada lontong dan ketupat di negara lainnya seperti Malaysia, Brunei, dan Singapura. Itu tidak lain adalah budaya serapan yang dibawa oleh perantau Indonesia ke negeri tersebut sejak dulu kala.
Sumber: Wikipedia

Pada bulan Puasa ini Lontong banyak ditemui dijajakan untuk sajian berbuka puasa, mungkin karena texturnya yang lembut pas untuk mengganjal perut pas berbuka dan sebelum melaksanakan sholat.

Steak

In the United States and Canada, a restaurant that specializes in beef steaks can be known as a steakhouse.

In the United States a typical steak dinner consists of a steak, with a starchy side dish, usually baked potatoes, but occasionally another potato dish, rice, pasta, or beans. A small serving of cooked vegetables often accompanies the meat and side, with corn on the cob, green beans, creamed spinach, asparagus, tomatoes, mushrooms, peas, and onion rings being popular. A well-known accompaniment to steak is shrimp or a cooked lobster tail, a combination often called "surf and turf" or "reef and beef" and "pier and steer". Rounding off an American steak dinner is some sort of bread, usually a dinner roll.

Special steak knives are provided along with steak. Steak knives are sharper than most table knives and are usually serrated, though straight blades also work; they also often have wooden handles. Prepared condiments known as steak sauces are generally on the table in steakhouses. Tenderized round or sirloin steaks, breaded, and pan-fried or deep-fried, are called chicken fried or country fried steaks, respectively. Thinly sliced ribeye or other tender cuts, cooked on a hot griddle and shredded slightly, and served on Italian style rolls are called Philly steaks, named after Philadelphia, the city in which they became famous.

In France, steak is usually served with French fried potatoes also known as "frites", and the combination is known as "steak-frites". Vegetables are not normally served with steak in this manner, but a green salad may follow or (more commonly) be served at the same time. This is also the case in the United Kingdom.

In Italy, steak was not widely eaten until after WWII because the relatively rugged countryside does not readily accommodate the space and resource demands of large herds of cattle. Some areas of Piedmont and Tuscany, however, were renowned for the quaility of their beef. Bistecca alla Fiorentina is a well-known specialty of Florence; it is typically served with just a salad or Tuscan beans. From the 1960s onward, economic gains allowed more Italians to afford a red meat diet.

In the Balkan region, steak is often rubbed with mustard and pepper, and marinated in vinegar and vegetable oil for up to a week. It is then fried in butter, and a slice of toast is then used to soak up the pan drippings. The steak is served on the toast and topped with optional fried egg and a sprig of parsley.

Fish

Fish and shellfish have a natural tendency to concentrate mercury in their bodies, often in the form of methylmercury, a highly toxic organic compound of mercury. Species of fish that are high on the food chain, such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel, albacore tuna, and tilefish contain higher concentrations of mercury than others. This is because mercury is stored in the muscle tissues of fish, and when a predatory fish eats another fish, it assumes the entire body burden of mercury in the consumed fish. Since fish are less efficient at depurating than accumulating methylmercury, fish-tissue concentrations increase over time. Thus species that are high on the food chain amass body burdens of mercury that can be ten times higher than the species they consume. This process is called biomagnification. The first occurrence of widespread mercury poisoning in humans occurred this way in Minamata, Japan, now called Minamata disease.

Overfishing

Main article: Overfishing

Fish for sale in a market in Hong Kong

Research into population trends of various species of seafood is pointing to a global collapse of seafood species by 2048. Such a collapse would occur due to pollution and overfishing, threatening oceanic ecosystems, according to some researchers.

A major international scientific study released in November 2006 in the journal Science found that about one-third of all fishing stocks worldwide have collapsed (with a collapse being defined as a decline to less than 10% of their maximum observed abundance), and that if current trends continue all fish stocks worldwide will collapse within fifty years. In July 2009, Boris Worm of Dalhousie University, the author of the November 2006 study in Science, co-authored an update on the state of the world's fisheries with one of the original study's critics, Ray Hilborn of the University of Washington at Seattle. The new study found that through good fisheries management techniques even depleted fish stocks can be revived and made commercially viable again.

The FAO State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2004 report estimates that in 2003, of the main fish stocks or groups of resources for which assessment information is available, "approximately one-quarter were overexploited, depleted or recovering from depletion (16%, 7% and 1% respectively) and needed rebuilding."

The National Fisheries Institute, a trade advocacy group representing the United States seafood industry, disagree. They claim that currently observed declines in fish population are due to natural fluctuations and that enhanced technologies will eventually alleviate whatever impact humanity is having on oceanic life.

In an effort to counteract the detrimental effects of overfishing, there has been an emergence of retailers and restaurants only dealing in sustainable seafood. In an effort to expand the availability of sustainable seafood, i love blue sea opened in March 2010 selling only sustainable seafood online and delivering overnight via FedEx. They follow the recommendations set forth by both Seafood Watch and Greenpeace USA.

Kind of Sushi

Inarizushi

Inarizushi (稲荷寿司, stuffed sushi) is a pouch of fried tofu filled with usually just sushi rice. It is named after the Shinto god Inari, who is believed to have a fondness for fried tofu. The pouch is normally fashioned as deep-fried tofu (油揚げ, abura age). Regional variations include pouches made of a thin omelette (帛紗寿司, fukusa-zushi or 茶巾寿司, chakin-zushi). It should not be confused with inari maki, which is a roll filled with flavored fried tofu. A very large version, sweeter than normal and often containing bits of carrot, is popular in Hawaii, where it is called "cone sushi."

Sukeroku

Sukeroku (助六, name of a man in Edo period) is the combination set of inarizushi and makizushi, which is served as a single-portion takeout style sushi-pack. In a famous Kabuki play Sukeroku, a good-looking man Sukeroku is the lover of an Oiran courtesan named Agemaki (揚巻, lit. fry for age and roll for maki). Age and maki which form her name correspond to fried tofu namely inari and makimono, respectively. One rumour of sukeroku-zushi is that takeout style packs of inarizushi and makizushi had served at performances of Sukeroku kabuki in Edo period. Sukeroku is a cheap sushi-pack and often vegetarian.

Chirashizushi

Nama-chirashi, or chirashizushi with raw ingredients

Chirashizushi (ちらし寿司, lit. scattered sushi) is a bowl of sushi rice with other ingredients mixed in (also refers to barazushi). It is commonly eaten in Japan because it is filling, fast and easy to make. Chirashizushi most often varies regionally because it is eaten annually as a part of the Doll Festival, celebrated only during March in Japan. The ingredients are often chef's choice. Edomae chirashizushi (Edo-style scattered sushi) is an uncooked ingredient that is arranged artfully on top of the sushi rice in a bowl. Gomokuzushi (Kansai-style sushi) are cooked or uncooked ingredients mixed in the body of rice in a bowl.

Kerajinan Tangan Dari Kayu Jati

Produk kerajinan tangan kayu jati (teak) dari Indonesia diminati masyarakat Ceko dengan diresmikannya galeri kerajinan tangan-interior "Antik Art" di salah satu pusat perbelanjaan terbesar dan prestisius di Praha, yaitu Galerie Butovice.Menurut Yusran Hadromi, produk kerajinan tangan Indonesia dinilai berhasil meraih perhatian segmen pasar menengah ke atas Ceko yang tentu memiliki daya beli yang sangat baik.

Sementara ini perusahaan Antik Art yang mengimpor produk kerajinan tangan dalam bentuk setengah jadi, produk kerajinan kayu untuk interior rumah dan taman, serta aneka produk kuningan berupa dekorasi kunci pintu dan kerajinan tangan diimpor langsung dari pengrajin Indonesia.Menurut Petr Riha, keberhasilan pemasaran produk kerajinan tangan Indonesia di Ceko disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor, yaitu kualitas yang baik, desain yang indah serta harga yang bersaing.Namun demikian diakuinya produsen kerajinan tangan Indonesia harus memperhatikan beberapa kendala secara serius, seperti masalah pengeringan kayu yang sempurna karena kerapkali masih dalam keadaan basah/lembab.

Diharapkannya produsen mengikuti perkembangan desain yang sesuai dengan selera konsumen, ketepatan waktu pengiriman dan masalah packaging, khususnya agar tidak terjadi kerusakan barang di tempat tujuan.Dalam memasarkan produk kerajinan tangan ini, perusahaan Antik Art tidak hanya menjual produk dalam bentuk jadi, namun juga melayani pemesanan produk sesuai dengan model dan ukuran keinginan konsumennya.

Hingga saat ini, Antik Art tidak hanya melayani penjualan kepada kebutuhan rumah tangga tetapi juga di kalangan restoran dan perhotelan.Bahkan konsumen dari negara Belanda juga memesan kerajinan tangan darinya dan diantar langsung dengan menggunakan kendaraan perusahaan.

Meskipun produk kerajinan tangan berbahan kayu jati harganya relatif mahal, Petr Riha menilai produk ini merupakan sebuah komoditas yang menarik, modern dan masih mendatangkan untung.Melihat peluang banyaknya permintaan pasar Ceko terhadap kerajinan tangan tersebut, dijadikan dasar pertimbangan bagi Riha untuk membuka galeri di salah satu pusat bisnis di Praha.

Fresh Cocktail

A cocktail today usually contains one or more types of liquor and one or more mixers, such as bitters, fruit juice, fruit, soda, ice, sugar, honey, milk, cream, or herbs.

History

The earliest known printed use of the word cocktail was in The Farmer's Cabinet on April 28, 1803:

Drank a glass of cocktail—excellent for the head...Call'd at the Doct's. found Burnham—he looked very wise—drank another glass of cocktail.

The earliest definition of cocktail was in the May 13, 1806, edition of the Balance and Columbian Repository, a publication in Hudson, New York, in which an answer was provided to the question, "What is a cocktail?". It replied:

Cocktail is a stimulating liquor composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters—it is vulgarly called a bittered sling and is supposed to be an excellent electioneering potion, inasmuch as it renders the heart stout and bold, at the same time that it fuddles the head. It is said, also to be of great use to a Democratic candidate: because a person, having swallowed a glass of it, is ready to swallow anything else.

Compare the ingredients listed (spirits, sugar, water, and bitters) with the ingredients of an Old Fashioned.

The first publication of a bartenders' guide which included cocktail recipes was in 1862 — How to Mix Drinks; or, The Bon Vivant's Companion, by "Professor" Jerry Thomas. In addition to listings of recipes for Punches, Sours, Slings, Cobblers, Shrubs, Toddies, Flips, and a variety of other types of mixed drinks were 10 recipes for drinks referred to as "Cocktails". A key ingredient which differentiated "cocktails" from other drinks in this compendium was the use of bitters as an ingredient, although it is not used in many modern cocktail recipes.

The first "cocktail party" ever thrown was allegedly by Mrs. Julius S. Walsh Jr. of St. Louis, Missouri, in May 1917. Mrs. Walsh invited 50 guests to her home at noon on a Sunday. The party lasted an hour, until lunch was served at 1 pm. The site of this first cocktail party still stands. In 1924, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Louis bought the Walsh mansion at 4510 Lindell Boulevard, and it has served as the local archbishop's residence ever since.

During Prohibition in the United States (1920–1933), when the sale of alcoholic beverages was illegal, cocktails were still consumed illegally in establishments known as speakeasies. The quality of the alcohol available was far lower than was previously used, and bartenders generally put forth less effort in preparing the cocktails. There was a shift from whiskey to gin, which does not require aging and is thus easier to produce illicitly.

Cocktails became less popular in the late 1960s and 1970s, as other recreational drugs became common. In the 1980s cocktails again became popular, with vodka often substituted for gin in drinks such as the martini. Traditional cocktails and gin are starting to make a comeback in the 2000s.

Mengendalikan hawa nafsu ketika berpuasa

Puasa ramadhan bukan hanya menahan lapar dan haus tetapi bagaimana kita menahan seluruh hawa nafsu kita dan mengendalikannya mulai dari terbit fajar hingga terbenamnya matahari

Perintah puasa difirmankan Alloh swt pada Al-Quran surat Al-Baqarah ayat 183
"Yaa ayyuhaladziina aamanuu kutiba alaikumus siyaamu kamaa kutiba 'alalladziina min qablikum la allakum tataquun"
Artinya:
“ Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, telah diwajibkan ke atas kamu berpuasa sebagaimana telah diwajibkan ke atas umat-umat yang sebelum kamu, semoga kamu menjadi orang-orang yang bertaqwa."

Puasa adalah menahan. secaara artian adalah menahan keinginan hawa nafsu(atau jasad/diri).namun justru malah menjalankan keinginan keinginan Allah lah yang terkandung di dalam AlQuran. sehingga lebih optimal lagi dalam menjalankan ibadah yang Allah inginkan.

perintah puasa lebih menekankan kedalam aktifitas sendi kehidupan. dimana mampunya kita untuk menahan hawa nafsu kita (bahkan hingga makan dan minum pun kita tahan) kemudian menjalankan keinginan Allah sepenuhnya. sehingga meraih Taqwa

perintah pusa jatuh pada madinah. dimana dikondisi ummat islam saat itu baru saja hijrah dari mekkah setelah di tekan dari berbagai sisi kehidupan.. namun di sinilah terlihat sifat kesabaran(tidak lemah, tidak lesu, pantang mundur) dari semangat ummat islam untuk bangkit menyebarkan ayat-ayat Allah.ke seluruh wilayah

Adapun Syarat dimana Orang itu wajib Berpuasa adalah:
1. Beragama Islam
2. Berakal sehat
3. Baligh (sudah cukup umur)
4. Mampu melaksanakannya
5. Orang yang sedang berada di tempat (tidak sedang safar)

dan ketika saatnya berbuka tidaklah penting dimana dia berbuka dengan apapun baik dengan sushi atau pasta maupun dim sum yang penting adalah berbukalah dengan yang yang manis karena itu yang dianjurkan.

Pansit filipina

Pansit atau pancit adalah istilah umum untuk mi atau masakan mi goreng di Filipina. Hidangan dari mi, bihon, miswa, dan sotanghun mulanya berasal dari masakan Cina, namun telah diadaptasi sebagai masakan Filipina dengan tambahan bahan-bahan lokal. Pansit palabok (pansit luglug) dan pansit malabon telah dianggap sebagai masakan asli Filipina.

Pansit malabon dengan berbagai makanan laut adalah makanan khas kota pelabuhan Malabon. Mi dimasak bersama udang, tiram, cumi-cumi, dan daging babi. Bumbu yang dipakai adalah patis, merica, bawang putih, dan jeruk kesturi.

Seperti halnya pada kebudayaan Cina, mi dipercaya orang Filipina sebagai lambang umur panjang. Oleh karena itu, mi hampir selalu dimakan untuk merayakan ulang tahun.

Rumah makan yang menyediakan pansit disebut panciterias, dan umumnya berarti rumah makan Cina. Mi berkuah disebut pansit mami atau pansit lomi. Masakan yang dikenal di Indonesia sebagai pangsit kuah disebut pansit molo, dan merupakan makanan khas dari Molo, Iloilo City.

Sidewalk cafe

A sidewalk cafe (sometimes called a pavement cafe, or patio) is an outdoor part of a coffeehouse or cafe. This is an area where customers go to relax, dine, and socialize. Other activities at a sidewalk cafe might include studying, reading, or using, if it is available, the cafe's internet access.

Sidewalk cafe ambiance

Many people who frequent sidewalk cafes, do so for the comfortable and quaint atmosphere. Typically in a sidewalk cafe there are tables and chairs [and sometimes benches] for dining and relaxing. Sometimes they are permanently outside, however they are often taken inside on closing time, or earlier if it gets colder. Usually there are parasols depending on the style and decor of any particular sidewalk cafe and there may be a low fence around it for protection against wind and/or for the purpose of decoration.

Fast food restaurants such as McDonald's also often have an outdoor dining area, thus making them sidewalk cafes.

Popular sidewalk cafe activities

Cafes where food is the main attraction usually are for dining, entertainment, and meetings, both business and casual. A cafe where coffee is the main attraction is usually for socializing, internet, reading, studying, entertainment, and dining. There are several types of cafes and venues as well as types of people that frequent these places for different activities.

Depending on the country and on permits alcohol may or may not be served. In some places local laws allow drinking alcohol in a sidewalk cafe but not on a public bench etc.

A sidewalk cafe's surrounding area

Typically a cafe or restaurant needs a permit from the municipality to have an outdoor part. This will not be granted if due to lack of space there is too much inconvenience for passers-by. The municipality may restrict the opening hours for the outdoor part.

Kue khamir makanan khas pemalang

Kamir (Khamir) adalah makanan khas Pemalang asal negara Arab. Kue ini terbuat dari adonan terigu, mentega, pisang ambon, tape dan telur. Kue kamir ada dua jenis, yaitu kamir beras dan kamir terigu. Dipasaran kota Pemalang lebih banyak kamir terigu karena yang tahan lama sedangkan kamir beras hanya berdasarkan pesanan.Beberapa orang menyebutnya dengan nama Samir.
Kue ini berbentuk bundar, pipih berwarna coklat dan hampir menyerupai kue apem atau serabi tetapi sedikit lebih besar dan bantet. Sedangkan ukurannya bervariasi, yang terbesar sampai sebesar lingkaran piring makan. Sedangkan terkecil sebesar lingkaran mangkok. Ukuran-ukuran itu tergantung pemesannya. Bahkan pernah akan dibuat ukuran raksasa tapi gagal karena tidak matang secara merata.
Menurut cerita, orang pertama yang membuat kue kamir adalah seorang warga Arab yang tinggal di Kelurahan Mulyoharjo, yang dikenal juga dengan sebutan Kampung Arab. Nama kamir itu sendiri tidak jelas berasal dari nama apa. Apakah berasal dari kata khamer (bahasa Arab) yang berarti memabukan atau dari nama orang keturunan Arab itu sendiri.
Tetapi yang mendekati kemungkinan adalah nama Kamir berasal dari kata Khamir yang dalam bahasa Arab berarti ragi, dalam proses pembuatan kue kamir ini sebelum dimasak, terlebih dahulu didiamkan semalam agar bisa mengembang dengan sempurna dan tejadinya proses fermentasi.

Tofu

Tofu skin also known as dried beancurd, yuba or bean skim, is a Chinese and Japanese food product made from soybeans. During the boiling of soy milk, in an open shallow pan, a film or skin composed primarily of a soy protein–lipid complex forms on the liquid surface. The films are collected and dried into yellowish sheets known as tofu skin or soy milk skin. Because it is derived directly from soy milk, the name tofu skin is technically inaccurate.

Preparation

Tofu skin may be purchased in fresh or dried form. In the latter case, the tofu skin is rehydrated in water before use. It is often used to wrap dim sum.

Because of its slightly rubbery texture, tofu skin is also manufactured in bunched, folded and wrapped forms that are used as meat substitutes in vegetarian cuisine. Tofu skins can be wrapped and then folded against itself to make doù baō (Chinese: 豆包, literally "tofu package"). These are often fried to give it a firmer skin before being cooked further.

Lema

Lema adalah sebuah nama makanan khas Rejang. Komposisinya terdiri dari rebung yang dicincang-cincang dan dicampur ikan air tawar seperti ikan mujair, sepat, maupun ikan-ikan kecil yang hidup di air tawar. Setelah cincangan rebung yang dicampur dengan ikan tersebut diaduk-aduk, maka adonan tersebut disimpan ke dalam wadah yang dilapisi dengan daun pisang dan ditutup rapat-rapat. Proses pengeraman ini bisanya minimal membutuhkan waktu tiga hari. Setelah itu, baru adonan tadi dapat dijadikan gulai sebagai lauk yang dimakan dengan nasi.

Lema itu sendiri dimasak dengan cara yang tidak berbeda dengan tempoyak. Lema beraroma agak tidak sedap baunya. Itu merupakan efek dari pembusukan dari ikan yang dicampur dengan rebung. Meskipun baunya yang tidak sedap, tapi banyak yang menyukainya. Keunikan dari aroma dan cita rasa yang dihasilkan lema, menjadikan makanan ini bukan sekedar disukai suku bangsa Rejang. Lema lebih nikmat bila dimasak dengan campuran santan dan ditambahkan dengan ikan air tawar maupun ikan laut. Pada umumnya, lema dimasak dengan ditambah dengan ikan mas, tongkol, maupun ikan yang biasa dikonsumsi manusia pada umumnya.

Mengenai cita rasa yang dihasilkan lema, makanan ini termasuk dari selera khas Sumatera. Lema memiliki rasa asam dan pedas, serta aroma yang unik tapi gurih setelah dimasak. Setelah masak, lema biasanya dimakan sebagai lauk. Lema lebih nikmat dimakan dengan ditemani lalapan seperti kabau, jering, atau petai.

Lema juga telah menjadi komoditi ekspor ke Jepang, meskipun banyak juga suku bangsa Rejang yang tidak mengetahui hal itu. Lema dikemas secara modern ke dalam kaleng. Kemasannya tidak berbeda dengan kemasan kornet ataupun sarden yang biasa dijual di warung maupun toko-toko manisan modern lainnya. Lema telah dijadikan makanan pengganti dari tradisi orang Jepang yang biasa memakan ikan mentah yang telah terbukti penyebab penyakit Minamata di Jepang. Rasa lema yang sesuai dengan selera Jepang, menjadikan lema makanan favorit yang dikenal secara internasional di Jepang. Mengenai asal-usul lema, secara kentara tidak dipublikasikan bahwa makanan tersebut asal mulanya dari karya salah satu suku bangsa di Indonesia.
