The Peak – Dining Restaurant

Bandung is a romantic place that i love so much. It hides so many romantic stories for me. 27 Feb 2013 was my second year anniversary with my crazy boyfriend. On the day, he kidnapped me to a superb romantic restaurant that i ever go until now. The name is ‘The Paek’. The place is so far from Dago where i stayed at that time. It took us about 45 minutes from Dago to The Peak. The way to get there is pretty hard. Quiet a long time to reach it but trust me, it’s really worth the trouble.

The Peak has a European cuisine concept. It has ethnic architecture. The building itself is decorated with some torchlight to make it feels more romantic.

You guys can trust me, it is a very special place for you who want to capture a special moment with your special one. The restaurant is located at the Bandung summit. Undetected, my boyfriend had reserved a special indoor room for both of us. We called it sky private. Yeah, we enjoyed our candle light dinner in our private room on the third floor. From our special room, we can see sparkling light of Bandung city from the top.  Beside that, The Peak also have outdoor dining area.

Then, on our table, there are some additional stuff like a big white candle, a vase of white roses, and a bell. The bell is used to call the waitress to help you anything like capturing some romantic moments and more.

About the food, it serves premium dishes, from international until indonesian food. The most recommended food is steak. There are many kinds of steak in The Peak, like Australian Steak, Black Angus Steak, and others. The food also have a good technique on plating. About the price, it is a little bit expensive. But, i think i really worth with the scenery that you get here. 🙂

Salted Egg Fried Chicken

Working so hard for my thesis make me want to eat something different this weekend. i really want to eat something that taste spicy and salty. So, i was browsing on internet to looking for menu that i can make for my lunch in weekend.  And finally i found salted egg prawn. But, i think i want to make it into chicken that i can buy it easily and good enough for my money in my wallet. 🙂

Then, i went to superindo to buy something that I need for cooking this kind of food. I used smoked salted egg because it will make our food more fragrant. Beside that, i also used Kobe for frying the chicken to make it crispy.  And don’t forget to put some green chilies to make it spicy. If you don’t like spicy food, don’t give the chili and it will not make your food tasteless. So, you make the choice.

• 3 smoked salted egg, chopped
• 2 cloved of garlic, minced
• 1 cloved of red onion, sliced thinly
