The Gluttonista

Bakmi Cicik Made noodles from scratch on the weekend and here it is... Penampakan akhir Bakmi Cicik ahahaha! - Udah seneng punya KitchenAid, udah semangat cemplungin bahan, saat mau nyolok baru sadar kalo ternyata beda dan belum punya adaptornya 😐😑 Jadinya hand kneading dehhhhh 😛 #DapurImprov - Udah hand knead, udah di-rest adonannya, udah semangat mau rolling, ehhhh... Baru sadar kalo ga punya rolling pin ahuahauahahahha 😝 jadinya pake gulungan cling film dehhhhh.. But, it works! #DapurImprov - Adonan dah tipis, mulai motong & milin mie-nya, trus mulai bosen, jadinya langsung potong dan makin lama makin lebar deh mienya 😁 #DapurImprov - Masak ayam jamurnya ga pake resep, cemplungin aja semua saus2 yg Chinese look & feel and hoped for the best sambil menaruh harapan besar pada minyak babi buatan nyokapnya Margie. Jadinyaa enak! Babi kills it! - Sempet deg2an mienya bakal lembek & putus2 setelah dimasak, tapi jadinya elastis dan kenyal, HOREEE..!!! Kayak Mie Alok kata Margie, I've never ate Mie Alok. - Can't really taste the spinach puree & tomato paste that we added. They just tasted move savory and tastier compared to the plain egg noodles. Plan to repeat with black sesame and carrot next. Thank you Margie & Yola for believing in this one Cicik's dream of making her ancestors proud by making noodles from scratch 😘😘 with Yola and Margaretha – View on Path.

"Don’t ask me what I did. Ask me what I did not do. I did not clip her wings" Ziauddin Yousafzai, 2014. For those who didn't know, this gentleman is the father of Malala Yousafzai, a 17 y/o Pakistani girl who's also the youngest ever peace Noble Prize winner. The father is a school teacher and was the one that encouraged Malala in her fight for education equality for women against Taliban's dictatorship. He did not hold down his daughter out of fear, he let her soar and achieve her potentials. He BELIEVES in her. His spirit reminded me of my own father, a man who trusted my talents and support my decision. Beyond support, he actually got excited whenever I'm interested in anything. He would enthusiastically read any fashion related information he found and shared them to me. He even talked about my interest in drawing with almost everyone he knew just to find if anyone could help or tell him more about it. My father also dared me to dream bigger. He would say that "wouldn't it be wonderful if, one day, I'd be able to meet with Karl Lagerfeld and chat with Valentino?" (names he found on my mom's fashion magazines 😁). Dreams that scared my 10 year sold brain ahahaha! Years later, his dreams came true when I went to cover fashion weeks and got to interview Valentino on his retrospective couture show in Rome before he retired. And he got mad because I didn't dare to take any picture together with the maestro 😆 This was pre selfie/wefie and socmed era ahahaha. Nowadays, he understood less about my work. Because informations on digital media and content marketing are not that easy to find. So it become harder for him to either know more about it or to dream bigger for me. He tried tho, he created a Twitter account and said "hi" to me repeatedly on it, he downloaded Line and bought a few stickers and repeatedly sent them to me. He also got an iPad and is now heavily addicted to Farmville 😅 But, no matter what, he never belittled my desires and is always interested in my dreams. I don't think it ever crosses his mind that gender forbades anyone from going for their dreams. Although born and raised in a super traditional Chinese family, my father is not someone who babies his daughters and treat them differently than his son. He pushes me and he believes struggles are good for me. So, thank you Papa, for not clipping my wings. And here's to fathers who BELIEVES in their daughters! 🍻👯🎉 – View on Path.

#Thowback to that day when I had uneven bangs and a committed @uchiet that consistently took pictures of us. I think it was actually the first time I ever participated in a #selfie! Ahahahaha 😆 yooofff @uchiet 👯 (at CosmopolitanFM radio, Sarinah 8th Floor.)

SO! These are maple glazed bacon on top of bacon ice cream (yep, BACON ICE CREAM), on top of bacon pancakes with pecans sprinkles about and it was glorious! Salty, sweet, warm, cool and slightly smokey. Just EPIC 👯🎉 Currently loving St. Germain's inventive and extensive all day breakfast menu that's full of non clichè items. Another item me (and my friends) have been loving from their breakfast menu is the Open Faced Omelette with succulents chunks of glazed crab 😍 Thumbs up for St. Germain 👍 (at St. Germain By Cacaote)

"Tabula Rasa" A satisfying and well executed film! GREAT cinematography (found out the cinematographer is a woman and it totally made sense), effortless performances, efficient and eloquent editing, honest and straightforward story. Happy to see such a level headed production, no fuss and nothing trying too hard on this one. Super recommended! PS: Jadi, Gulai Kepala Ikan paling oke di Jakarta itu di mana sih? Jadi ngidem bingits gegara film ini 😋 with Carline, Mac, Aoura, and Chaya – View on Path.

"You cannot buy me, but you can rent me! I’m a hired gun but I know how to handle guns. It’s the only thing I want!” Karl Lagerfeld on his work ethics. It's always amazing to see how contemporary the mind of this 81 year old is. His way of balancing detachment from work with a full commitment to idealism is truly inspiring. This applies to the houses (Chanel & Fendi) he works for, to his own label. Which has its fair share of ups and downs and he admitted to only keep going for the sake of keeping his team. He also decided early on, that he does not want to be the owner of his own label to maintain a separation between himself and the label as a business. His label went through many owners and on each occassion he was open for the suggestions of what it should and could be. This way of thinking is rarely found on the current culture of "Me, Me, Me" where everyone thinks that creating a brand or a business must be coming from a "me" perspective. Most of the time, we take it personally when our work is assessed, getting defensive, emotional and sensitive when anything (negative and postive) is said about our work. It's important to remember that at the end of the day, it is about our work not about ourselves. And it is essential that, to remain professional, we need to learn to separate our work from our personal wants and needs. Let's be guns for hire 💥🔫 – Read on Path.
