Apa Khabar Jakarta...gwe kembali...

Gwe nga tau sudah keberapa kali gwe kesini ( Jakarta )..
tapi gwe masih nga jemu2..ngapain ya??...mungkin kerana segalanya serba murah?..
mungkin kerana makanan disini enak2 ...dan banyak pilihan?..gwe bercakap soal makan masakan indonesia,bukan international cuisine ya??
pilihan masakan dari Jawa,Sunda, Padang,Solo dan byk lagi....it's endless.
mungkin jugak kerana spa yang murah... pernah suatu ketika gwe duduk didalam spa selama 5 jam..seluruh badan gwe,dari hujung rambut hingga kehujung kuku dikerjain...lulur,mandi susu,pijit,cream bath,manicure pedicure dan facial...hanya dgn bayaran Rp300.000...
waduuhhhh!!!!..kok murah banget...

Kebiasaannya gwe menginap di Hotel Mulia...itu adalah favorite hotel gwe..
Tapi kali ini gwe tidak menginap disana...saudara gwe yang tinggal diJakarta menyarankan agar gwe tinggal di Kempinski Hotel,formerly known as Hotel Indonesia...

Wahhh!!! Kerenn bangat deh...
maka dengan ini gwe ingin mengisytiharkan Kempinski adalah Hotel Favorite gwe masa kini...hehehe...



Setiba disana, gwe dijemput oleh Pak Jasmadi...supir rasmi gwe bila kesana...
gwe terus dibawa keKempinski...

internet access free 24 jam...kalau diMulia internet servicenya adalah sekitar Rm 15/day..
kamar mandi yang moderen..gwe suka banget..

nga payah kena panas atau hujan jika mau ke Grand Indonesia - bagus nga??..:))

Wild Mushroom Soup with Beggar's Purses

Simple additions: Top goat cheese with chopped toasted pecans or add herbs to the cheese before assembling purses.

2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup minced shallots
6 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, sliced
6 ounces fresh oyster mushrooms, sliced
6 ounces fresh cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
8 cups chicken broth ..or use 1 chicken cube .
Salt and ground black pepper
3 sheets frozen phyllo dough (14x9-inch rectangles), thawed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 ounces goat cheese (chevre)

Place dried porcinis in small bowl. Add boiling water to cover; set aside 10 minutes or until softened. Strain mixture through fine mesh strainer, reserving liquid.

In 4-quart Dutch oven or pot, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add shallots; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Add shiitake, oyster, and cremini mushrooms. Cook and stir about 8 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.

Coarsely chop porcinis. Add porcinis to pot. Cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes more. Stir in flour.

Stir in reserved porcini liquid and chicken broth to pot. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. With slotted spoon remove half of the mushrooms. Place in food processor; cover and process until nearly smooth. Return mushrooms to pot; stir thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350° F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on clean work surface. Lightly brush with some of the melted butter. Place another sheet of phyllo on top; brush with butter. Place remaining sheet of phyllo on top; brush with butter. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap until needed.) Cut layered sheets into eight 4-1/2 by 3-1/2-inch rectangles. Divide goat cheese between each phyllo rectangle. Pull up corners of each rectangle, pinching just below the top to form beggar's purses. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Ladle soup into bowls; top with beggar's purse. Makes 8 servings.
