Ice cream and Headache

Ice cream would be anyone's favorite foods, especially children. However, these foods secretly created many problems for some audience. For example, there are people who become ill head as she felt the cold sensation of ice cream. There is also a throat so sore after eating ice cream. Or, still remember when your mother forbids you to eat ice cream and say, "Do not eat ice was yes, you're more cough?"

Is it true that ice cream is the cause of it all? What are the phenomena caused by ice cream?

Headache and sore throat

An issue of Harvard Women's Health Watch in 2009 had explained that cold temperatures cause blood pressure to shrink, and quickly enlarged again. Nearby pain receptors will then trigger the trigeminal nerve as pain signals. One way to restore the pain is to arch the tongue, then pressed on the palate. Or, eat it slowly.
When you are finished coughing after eating ice cream (or other cold drinks), this is likely to be caused by changes in temperature caused. As a result, the airways become irritated. Another possibility, because dairy products typically affect Lius water, and this can cause a thick mucus, which can irritate the back of the throat. That's when you feel like coughing.

However, the opposite of what you think, according to pediatricians ice cream it can reduce pain in the throat. However, it should be known in advance, if sore throat is caused by a viral infection, or bacterial infection? If the cause is viral infection, the pain will go away by itself. While if the cause is bacterial infection, you need antibiotics to cure it.

Well, according to Russell Steele, MD, professor and vice chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at Louisiana State University School of Medicine, New Orleans, if you're experiencing is inflammation due to viral infection, ice cream works better than any food to relieve the pain.

Often, sore throat occurs because your immune system is disturbed. At a time like this, you need to eat foods that are freshly cooked, nutritious food that will give you the strength to fight the infection. You also need to avoid foods that can irritate the throat, like chocolate or candy (when swallowed). Likewise, acidic foods like lemon juice, cranberry juice, or pickled cucumbers. Sometimes, spicy foods are also useful, thanks to his capcaisin content. However, its effect on every person is different. You may be less suited to spicy food.

The recommended food is soft, like chicken soup, and of course ice cream earlier. Lucinda Halstead, MD, assistant professor in the Department of Otolaryngology and Communicative Sciences at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, suggested to mute the first ice cream at room temperature several minutes before serving.

"Anything that is too cold, can be uncomfortable when swallowed," he said. Except, if you or your child can tolerate the cold.

But there is one thing that makes withy Dim Sum many wearing non-kosher ingredients and even the original ingredient is mixed with a lot of meat or offal pigs.

For in the Brunei and Malaysia are very easy to get a kosher Dimsum because non-kosher restaurant is always given a label "not a place for Muslims" so immediately we can choose others elsewhere.

As a result because he wanted to try Dim Sum in China I ordered the Vegetarian Dim Sum in a restaurant that serves Dim Sum from vegetables, but even so still good.

Another thing to avoid is a combination of desserts, Foie Gras, and cheese with a strong aroma (Munster, blue cheese), with the Loire Cabernet wine, pink wine, or crisp white (such as the Loire, Champagne, or Vinho Verde).

Food and Wine Combinations

The right wine will enhance the taste of food. Almost all types of food can be combined with various wines. People have different tastes and desires that affect different combinations of fusion food and beverages.

For example, you can use the cheese with a kind of white wine. Cheese can be eaten with a mild cheese with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
In order to obtain solid-match experience interesting, there are a few suggestions that should be followed namely:

- Use ornaments to beautify the appearance of wine
- Wine yan old age is suitable to be presented and paired with food. Use the right glass in a presentation

Sweet food or a little further strengthen the sense of bitter foods and tannic acid from the wine. But avoid using strong-scented wine with sweet food. Conversely, salty or sour foods served with wine matches with a sweet taste that provides fresh flavor.

There are many other references in the solid-match wines and foods. You should enjoy the process and experience. The combination of food and beverages will be easier if the types of wine do you have more diverse and balanced.

Ayo Makan di Steak 21!

Di Steak 21 para pecinta steak bisa menikmati aneka steak nan lezat. Mulai dari steik ayam, sapi, hingga daging. Proses marinated yang sempurna menghasilkan rasa yang istimewa

SUDAH memutuskan ingin berbuka apa hari ini? Bila bosan menyantap hidangan sehari-hari,bagaimana bila mencoba berbuka dengan steik.Ada berbagai pilihan yang bisa didapat,mulai ayam hingga ikan.

Ketika berbuka, orang Indonesia biasanya menginginkan nasi sebagai hidangan utama.Namun,Anda bisa sesekali bertukar selera dengan menyantap steik sebagai menu berbuka. Hitung-hitung untuk menghilangkan kejenuhan saja dan memperkaya selera di bulan puasa ini. Sebagai rekomendasi, ada Steak 21 yang berlokasi di Pejaten Village,Jakarta Selatan. Walau steik sudah menjadi menu populer di sini, restoran yang khusus menyediakan menu ini masih tergolong sedikit.Kebanyakan tidak mengkhususkan diri menjual hidangan ini semata. Nah, salah satu resto yang benar-benar khusus menyediakan menu steik antara lain Steak 21.

Menurut Supervisor Steak 21 Dwi Apriliya, pemilik restoran ini memang sengaja mengangkat menu steik karena mengetahui banyak restoran steik di Jakarta tidak berkembang. “Karena itu, beliau ingin menjadikan restoran ini sebagai restoran steik yang berkembang dan banyak diminati.Ini sekaligus menjadi tantangannya,” beber Dwi. Sampai saat ini, Steak 21 sedikitnya mempunyai 10 cabang.Apa kelebihan steik ala restoran ini? Menurut Dwi, karena proses pengolahan daging-dagingnya yang sempurna, sehingga menghasilkan daging yang lembut dan dengan bumbu yang meresap hingga ke dalam. Rahasianya terletak pada proses marinated.

Tidak tanggung-tanggung, bumbu-bumbu yang digunakan untuk melumuri daging-daging ini, didiamkan selama delapan jam. Atau semalam sebelum dibakar. Di samping itu,hasil daging pun juga lebih juicy. Kebanyakan pengunjung meminta steik diolah medium, sehingga hasilnya lebih juicy. Beberapa menu jagoan Steak 21 adalah tenderloin steak, daging yang disajikan lembut dan tanpa lemak. Beda lagi dengan sirloin original, dagingnya lebih berlemak dan terasa lebih mantap sekaligus creamy karena adanya butter dot yang diletakkan di atas daging. Steik pun menjadi lebih renyah dan lezat tentunya. Yang suka ikan boleh mencoba grill gindara.Tekstur daging ikan ini amat lembut dan tidak berminyak.

Baik ikan gindara maupun sirloin, dihidangkan dengan saus jamur yang dilumuri di atasnya. Chicken crispy juga layak dicoba. Ini adalah daging ayam bagian dada tanpa tulang, dan dibalut dengan tepung renyah dan gurih. Bumbu-bumbunya sendiri dilumuri di dada tersebut dan didiamkan hingga dua jam. Penampilan daging ayam ini pun sangat menggoda. Dengan ayam yang sudah dibalut tepung dan digoreng hingga garing,pastilah terasa akan sangat renyah ketika digigit. Mau menyantap steik dengan nasi,Anda bisa memesan Gonzales with rice.

Daging sirloin yang sudah dipotong-potong kemudian ditumis asam manis dan disajikan di atas hot plate yang di bawahnya ada hot stone atau bebatuan koral. Fungsi dari batu koral ini adalah untuk menahan panas lebih lama. Seporsi steik tersebut dijamin sudah membuat kenyang.Apalagi, ada tambahan sayur dan kentang goreng. Nah, bagi yang ingin bersantap hemat, Steak 21 memiliki paket combo yang tersedia dalam 10 pilihan, di antaranya satu porsi sirloin steak dengan chicken steak, kentang goreng, dan banana split hanya dikenakan harga Rp85.000.

Satu lagi yang membedakan Steak 21 dengan restoran lain. Restoran ini menyediakan saus BBQ dalam kemasan botol. Jadi, tidak perlu repot meminta tambah saus home made ini jika Anda inginkan. (sri noviarni- Seputar Indonesia)

A Sushi Wedding Cake Yummy

Jef and Jin Yoon like Sushi -- a lot. We missed their wedding, but I promised them we'd have a festive reception for them in Boston when they got back from their honeymoon.

Sushi, very simple dish

Would you like to try Sushi? With the rise in popularity of sushi in western countries you may be invited by friends to join them at the local sushi bar. While you may be anxious about the prospect of eating anything raw, don't worry, all you need is a little bit of information to take the anxiety away from the experience and enjoy this wonderful delicacy.

Sushi is a very simple dish, although the making of it is considered an art form. The Itamae (sushi chef) traditionally needs to train for 10 years before being hired to prepare sushi. However, the popularity of sushi has forced the hiring of chefs with only a few years experience.

There are four main types of sushi you can order:

Nigiri sushi: nigiri means "grab". These are hand pressed balls of rice with raw fish on top and bit of wasabi between the fish and rice.

Sashimi: sliced raw fish (technically not sushi since the term sushi refers to the rice and sashimi is not prepared with any rice).

Maki sushi: maki means "roll". The maki sushi is rolled with bamboo mats. Traditionally the seaweed is on the outside; rice on the outside is called 'inside-out' (ie: California roll).

Temaki is a hand rolled version of Maki. It is cone shaped like an ice cream cone.

Sushi comes in an amazing variety of combinations, however you'll find these common ingredients or garnishes with nearly every version:

The word sushi actually refers to The rice, also called 'sticky rice'. Sushi rice is short grained and cooked with a 1:1 ratio of water. Sushi vinegar and sugar is added which makes the rice both sweet and tart.

Wasabi: Japanese horseradish. Often served as a green paste alongside your sushi as an additional condiment; a word of caution - wasabi is VERY hot, so use it sparingly while developing a taste for it.

Gari: Thinly sliced, pickled ginger is also served with sushi. Some use it as a garnish although it is technically to refresh your palette between bites.

Nori: The seaweed sheets used to roll rice for sushi.

Soya Sauce (Shoyu): used as a dipping sauce. The wasabi can also be mixed with the soya sauce for those who enjoy the intense flavor.

Sushi can be made with a single ingredient or several. Single ingredients include avocado, cucumber (kappa), tuna (tekka or maguro) or salmon (sake - but not the rice wine). There are also many modernized combinations designed to please American palettes. These include the California roll made with avocado, crab, and cucumber and the Philadelphia roll made with smoked salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber.

As you can see, despite the unusual presentation you can easily find identifiable and delicious combinations you are sure to enjoy. Despite what you may think, the nori (seaweed) has very little flavor and is nearly undetectable when combined with the flavors of the sushi and the addition of soya sauce or wasabi. In fact, like many other converts, you may just have found yourself a new addiction!

Enaknya Sate Khas Senayan

Minggu ini saya berkesempatan untuk mencoba beberapa hidangan yang ditawarkan oleh Sate Khas Senayan. Restoran ini telah beroperasi selama lebih dari 30 tahun dan memiliki menu yang merupakan hidangan tradisional khas Indonesia. Dengan menawarkan beragam pilihan serba tradisional, aneka menu di SKS menunjukkan karakter yang unik dari masakan Indonesia. Kebetulan mereka baru saja membuka dua buah gerai sekaligus di area Kelapa Gading. Satu gerai Sate Khas Senayan dengan model Express terletak di Food Court Mal Kelapa Gading 3 dan satu lagi yang bercorak Full Dining terletak di Inkopal Kelapa Gading. Sayapun segera meluncur ke sana untuk mencoba sendiri kelezatan hidangan yang ditawarkan Sate Khas Senayan.

Sesuai dengan namanya, restoran ini memang terkenal dengan hidangan satenya. Ada tiga jenis sate yang mereka tawarkan, Sate Ayam, Sate Ayam Bumbu Pedas Blra dan Sate Kambing. Saya memesan satu porsi Sate Ayam, hidangan ini tiba di meja di sebuah piring datar dengan bumbu kacang yang dicampur kecap. Apakah ini sama dengan hidangan sate ayam yang biasa kita temui di mana-mana? Salah besar! Sebagai permulaan, perbedaannya ada pada bumbu kacangnya. Kacangnya telah diproses sehingga benar-benar lembut dan memiliki rasa kacang yang pekat. Keunikan lainnya terletak pada daging satenya. Berbeda dengan hidangan sate ayam biasa di mana terdapat 3-4 potong daging pada setiap tusuknya, sate yang mereka hidangkan merupakan satu potong daging utuh. Meskipun demikian, kita tidak akan mengalami kesulitan saat memakannya karena dagingnya sangat mudah untuk digigit hingga terurai menjadi potongan kecil. Ini dikarenakan daging yang digunakan diolah dari paha ayam yang memang merupakan bagian paling empuk dari seekor ayam.

Menu lain yang sempat saya coba adalah Tongseng. Kuahnya sedikit lebih pekat daripada hidangan tongseng kebanyakan dan memiliki rasa yang lebih pekat dan gurih. Daging kambingnya juga sangat empuk dan gampang dipisahkan dari tulangnya. Selain itu, masih ada beberapa hidangan lain yang tidak kalah lezatnya seperti Ayam Goreng Kremes, Sop Buntut, Tahu Kipas, dan Lontong Cap Gomeh. Mereka juga memiliki varian hidangan nasi yang cukup banyak. Beberapa di antaranya adalah Nas Langgi, Nasi Kuning, Nasi Begana, Nasi Uduk, Nasi Gudeg dan Nasi Kerawu.

Untuk hidangan penutup, Sate Khas Senayan memiliki rupa-rupa hidangan es tradisional. Ada Es Coklat Kacang Merah, Es Wedang Tape, Es Cincau, Es Campur, Es Cendol dan Es Merah Delima. Saya sempat merasakan sendiri bagaimana rasa dari Es Merah Delimanya. Delimanya terasa manis dan empuk, benar-benar pas di lidah. Sekedar info tambahan ya, Sate Khas Senayan menawarkan dua pilihan menu, a la carte dan combo. A la carte merupakan menu satuan tetapi combo menawarkan hidangan yang lebih lengkap dan ekonomis karena telah menyertakan nasi.

Sate Khas Senayan adalah salah satu restoran yang membuktikan bahwa makanan tradisional tetap memiliki tempat tersendiri di masyarakat. Dari restoran pertamanya di jalan Pakubuwono VI no. 6 sampai cabang ke-18nya di Inkopal Kelapa Gading, terbukti tidak pernah sepi pengunjung. Mereka bahkan telah membuka layanan baru yaitu delivery. Layanan delivery tersebut mereka namakan Call Aja dan saat ini telah melayani permintaan dari seluruh pelosok Jakarta.

Memulai Usaha Ice cream

Apakah Anda sedang berencana untuk memulai usaha Ice cream sendiri? Jika ya, artikel ini mungkin cocok untuk Anda. Kami akan mencoba menjelaskan secara singkat mengenai apa saja yang Anda perlukan untuk memulai sebuah usaha Ice cream.

Simbol Kebahagiaan
Satu hal yang harus Anda ingat mengenai usaha Ice cream adalah mengenai kebahagiaan. Ice cream bukan hanya sebagai pelepas dahaga di kala panas ataupun sebagai makanan pencuci mulut. Ice cream sangat erat kaitannya dengan suasana kebahagiaan dalam diri seseorang.

Ketika orang merayakan perkawinan, ulang tahun, ataupun perayaan besar lainnya, rasanya tidak lengkap tanpa kehadiran Ice cream. Oleh karena itu, ketika memulai usaha Ice cream, unsur kebahagiaan yang ditawarkan sebuah Ice cream haruslah bisa Anda pegang dengan erat.

Pemahaman ini sangat berguna sebagai dasar pemasaran usaha Ice cream nantinya. Kebahagiaan sangat erat kaitannya dengan rasa manis dan coklat, ataupun strowberi dan vanilla.

Anda dapat pula menentukan tempat pemasaran Ice cream nantinya. Di taman hiburan atau taman bermain. Bahkan, membuat layanan penerimaan pesanan untuk acara resepsi perkawinan ataupun acara besar lainnya.

Modal Awal
Dalam setiap usaha, pastinya ada beberapa biaya awal yang harus Anda keluarkan. Dalam setiap usaha Ice cream, pastinya harus ada mesin Ice cream. Pemilihan mesin sangat bergantung pada jenis Ice cream yang akan Anda jual nantinya. Anda dapat membuat Ice cream goreng ataupun Ice cream campur 3 rasa, hingga Ice cream cone: jenis Ice cream yang paling banyak dijual.

Peralatan Ice cream

Untuk keperluan membuat jenis Ice cream yang Anda inginkan, telah tersedia berbagai tipe mesin Ice cream. Setiap mesin berbeda variasi, mulai mesin pencampur Ice cream, mesin pembuat Ice cream goreng, mesin Ice cream cone sampai mesin pengaduk es krim hingga 3 rasa. Pilihan harganya pun berbeda, yang paling murah sekitar 10 juta hingga kisaran 55 juta.

Selain mesin Ice cream, ada beberapa perlengkapan lain yang harus Anda persiapkan, seperti kulkas Ice cream, sendok scope Ice cream, tempat Ice cream atau mungkin juga sebuah truk Ice cream apabila Anda ingin memulai usaha Ice cream keliling.

Modal awal membuat usaha Ice cream bisa dikatakan besar. Apabila Anda beruntung mendapatkan lokasi penjualan tepat sehingga banyak orang membeli Ice cream Anda, dalam kurun waktu kurang lebih 1 tahun, Anda sudah dapat break even points. Namun, apabila Anda kurang beruntung, selebihnya hanyalah bergantung pada usaha pemasaran yang unik dan tepat.

Etika Sushi

Beberapa tahun belakangan ini, restoran yang menyajikan Sushi makin berjamur di Jakarta. Penyukanya pun tidak sedikit. Di jam-jam makan, antrean pengunjung sudah memanjang di beberapa gerai sushi terkemuka. Di Jakarta, kita bisa saja menemukan restoran sushi di mal yang kesannya cukup santai dan kita pun memakannya dengan santai. Padahal ada beberapa aturan yang seharusnya berlaku saat menyantap makanan dari negeri asalnya. Mau tahu?

Mengucapkan "Itadaki masu!"
Kalimat itadaki masu (itada ki mas) sama seperti mengucapkan, "Makanannya terlihat enak!" atau, "Selamat makan!". Jika di sekitar Anda ada orang Jepang, dan Anda mengatakan kalimat ini sebelum makan sushi, maka mereka akan sangat menghargai Anda.

Jangan menuang minuman sendiri
Biasanya, orang Jepang akan mengkonsumsi makanan Jepang sambil ditemani minuman Kirin, Asahi, atau Sapporo. Untuk hal yang satu ini, mereka sangat mengagungkan kebersamaan dan saling berbagi. Jika Anda mengambil botol minuman, pastikan Anda mengisi gelas orang-orang lain yang ada di meja, tapi jangan mengisi gelas Anda. Orang lain yang memerhatikan Anda pasti akan langsung mengambil inisiatif untuk mengisi gelas Anda.

Pesan omakase
Seberapa besar pun pengetahuan Anda akan sushi, sang koki pasti tahu lebih banyak. Sang koki lebih tahu apa yang segar dan enak untuk disantap. Omakase adalah salah satu cara pemesanan menu makanan. Artinya, Anda menyerahkan kepada si koki untuk menu yang akan Anda santap. Tak hanya ini akan memastikan Anda mendapat bahan tersegar, Anda sekaligus membuat si koki merasa senang dan bangga. Tapi siap-siap mendapat pilihan sushi yang isinya tidak biasa, ya.

Berbagai Jenis Kematangan Steak

Ketika menunjukkan teknik untuk memasak Steak, koki-koki di Le Cordon Bleu ragu untuk memberikan siswa waktu memasak yang tepat karena ada begitu banyak variabel yang perlu dipertimbangkan. Jelas ketebalan steak dan sejauh mana itu harus dimasak (sangat jarang, jarang, sedang, atau baik dilakukan) akan memiliki pengaruh yang besar terhadap waktu. Suhu daging sebelum memasak (jika anda suka steak anda langka atau sedang langka itu harus pada suhu kamar sebelum dimasak), kehadiran tulang, metode memasak (menumis, memanggang atau memanggang), dan panas kompor, grill, atau batubara juga akan mempengaruhi waktu memasak.

Cara terbaik untuk menguji apakah daging dimasak adalah dengan sentuhan dan penglihatan serta berdasarkan jam: sebagai juru masak steak, daging menjadi lebih kencang dan mencerahkan warna interior dari ungu tua-merah ke merah muda. Dengan pengalaman Anda akan dapat menentukan kapan semua daging, unggas, dan bahkan ikan dilakukan, hanya dengan sentuhan.
Berikut adalah panduan untuk memasak steak dengan derajat yang diinginkan: kali perkiraan diberikan untuk 2-2,5 cm (3/4-1 inci) steak tebal.

Very Rare (bleu disebut dalam bahasa Perancis)
Menghanguskan kedua belah pihak hanya sampai kecoklatan (sekitar 1 menit setiap sisi) dalam minyak yang sangat panas dan mentega. steak akan merasa sangat lembut bila disentuh, warna interior tidak akan berubah dari warna ungu-merah daging mentah.

Rare (Saignant)
Menghanguskan fot 2 menit setiap sisinya dan 1 menit di tepi dalam minyak yang sangat panas dan mentega. steak masih akan terasa lembut bila disentuh, warna interior akan merah.

Medium (à point)

Soto Banjar dari Bogor

Kuah kekuningan yang mengepul panas menebarkan aroma wangi rempah yang sedap. Racikan Soto ayam ini benar-benar gurih enak. Rasa kaldu yang kuat dan irisan telur bebek rebus yang kenyal-kenyal gurih membuat soto ini makin sempurna sebagai soto Banjar!

Berulang kali melintasi Jl. Pajajaran Bogor warung soto Banjar ini selalu menggoda selera. Hampir tak pernah sepi pengunjung dan kenangan akan rasa gurih yang enak membuat saya selalu ingin mampir lagi. Seperti siang itu saat gerimis mulai turun, semangkok soto Banjar yang hangat mengepulpun jadi target utama saya.

Ternyata setelah memesan soto Banjar saya masih tergoda dengan tampilan ketupat Kandangan yang unik. Ketupat ini memakai ikan haruan bakar dengan siraman kuah gurih yang enak. Hmm.. .jadilah ketupat Kandangan plus nasi kuning Banjar pun saya pesan untuk menumpas kangen masakan Kalimantan Selatan!

Kuah soto yang mengepul panas menebarkan aroma kapulaga dan kayu manis yang semerbak. Wuiih wangi benar! Kuahnya bening kecokelatan dengan suun dan cincangan daun bawang plus suwiran daging ayam sebagai isiannya. Yang menarik justru potongan telur rebusnya yang oranye menyala dan putih telur yang agak transparan.

Hirupan pertama terasa tonjokan bumbu rempah yang kompak dan gurih wangi. Pastinya bumbunya tidak pelit. Telur rebuspun terasa kenyal-kenyal gurih karena memakai telur bebek rebus. Setelah dikucuri sedikit air jeruk nipis dan diaduk dengan sambal rawit, wah... rasanya makin gurih pedas segar!

Ketupat Kandangan yang diberi nama sesuai dengan daerah asalnya Kandangan ini sebenarnya sangat sederhana. Namun, justru dua elemen utama racikan ketupat ini yang unik. Pertama ketupat khas Kandangan yang besar dan gendut. Tak seperti ketupat umumnya yang padat lembut, ketupat Kandangan justru agak pera, butiran nasinya masih bisa terlacak dan mudah dimemarkan.

Yang kedua adalah si ikan haruan alias ikan gabus yang diasap atau dipanggang memiliki tekstur kenyal kokoh dan gurih rasanya. Tentu saja dengan aroma wangi asap yang sedap. Kuahnya berupa kuah santan dengan aroma bawang, merica, ketumbar dan serai yang wangi.

Rasa kuahnya gurih-gurih enak. Untuk menyantap ketupat ini, ketupat dimemarkan dengan sendok hingga buyar dan menyatu dengan kuah santan plus ikan haruan yang wangi. Setelah itu butiran nasi yang terendam kuah menjadi makin enak. Apalagi jika diaduk dengan sedikit sambal yang kemerahan. Hmm... racikan ketupat Kandangan ini benar-benar mengobati kangen saya.

Nasi kuning Banjar juga disajikan dengan sederhana. Lauknya bisa dipilih ayam, daging, ikan haruan atau telur bebek. Tampilannya memang seperti nasi kuning umumnya dan ayam masak habang yang jadi lauknya memang diselimuti sambal yang kental merah agak kehitaman.

Saat dikunyah barulah terasa kalau nasi kuning ini agak pera tetapi lebih gurih dari nasi kuning yang biasa. Hmm.. pastinya karena memakai santan yang kental. Bumbu habangnya tidak terasa pedas tetapi justru manis dengan aksen asam yang enak. Pas dipadu dengan gurih wanginya nasi kuning.

Di rumah makan ini juga tersedia beragam kain tradisional Kalimantan seperti sasirangan dan lampit (tikar dari anyaman kulit rotan). Juga bisa dipesan beragam jenis penganan khas Banjar seperti amparan tatak, bika banjar, dan madu hutan Kalimantan.

Sepertinya saya bakal sering mampir ke warung ini. Selain cita rasanya masih kental Banjar, harga makanannya juga tidak terlalu mahal. Seporsi Soto Banjar dihargai Rp 14.000,00, Nasi Kuning Ayam Rp 14.000,00 dan Ketupat Kandangan Rp 17.000,00. Tak berlebihan untuk sebuah kenikmati daerah yang unik!

Red Wine Protect Heart

Does red Wine protect against heart disease? Maybe. Many studies investigated the benefits of red wine suggested that moderate amount of red wine (one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men) lowers the risk of heart attack for people in middle age by ~ 30 to 50 percent. It is also suggested that alcohol such as red wine may prevent additional heart attacks if you have already suffered from one. Other studies also indicated that red wine can raise HDL cholesterol (the Good cholesterol) and prevent LDL cholesterol (the Bad cholesterol) from forming. Red wine may help prevent blood clots and reduce the blood vessel damage caused by fat deposits. Indeed, studies showed that people from the Mediterranean region who regularly drank red wine have lower risks of heart disease

What's in Red Wine that are good for heart?
Red wine is a particularly rich source of antioxidants flavonoid phenolics, so many studies to uncover a cause for red wine's effects have focused on its phenolic constituents, particularly resveratrol and the flavonoids. Resveratrol, found in grape skins and seeds, increases HDL cholesterol and prevent blood clotting. Flavonoids, on the other hand, exhibit antioxidant properties helping prevent blood clots and plaques formation in arteries.

Should I start drinking more red wine now?
The answer is No. Studies showed that alcohol drinking may increase triglycerides (another Bad blood lipids) and result in weight gain due to its empty calories. Other studies also suggested that alcohol consumption is associated with cancer risk. Read Alcohol and Cancer. The American Heart Association cautions people NOT to start drinking if they do not already drink alcohol. If you already drink alcohol, do so in moderation. AHA recommends one to two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women. (A drink is one 12 oz. beer, 4 oz. of wine, 1.5 oz. of 80-proof spirits, or 1 oz. of 100-proof spirits.)

Ice cream dari Argentina

Argentina masih memiliki dua makanan lezat lain, yaitu Ice cream dan empanada. Mengunjungi Argentina tanpa menikmati arak merah dan daging sapi sungguh sia-sia, namun mengunjungi Argentina tanpa menikmati Ice cream dan empanada benar-benar patut disayangkan. Mengapa Ice cream dan empanada Argentina dianggap setara dengan arak merah dan daging sapinya, menjadi salah satu ciri khas makanan lezat Argentina?

Tak lain karena rasanya yang lezat yang membuat orang sangat menyukainya, sehingga menjadikan kebiasaan untuk tiada hari tanpa Ice cream dan empanada.

Ice cream Argentina sangat lezat
Ice cream Argentina kali pertama masuk ke Amerika Latin berkat imigran Italia. Dengan demikian es krim Argentina mewarisi teknik pembuatan Ice cream Italia yang berkalori rendah, berlemak rendah, menggunakan buah alami dan produk susu berkualitas. Ice cream ini menjadi semakin terkenal di belahan bumi bagian selatan dan menjadi yang paling disuka orang Argentina. Produk ini telah menjadi komoditas ekspor yang setiap tahun terus meningkat.
Makanan lezat dengan harga terjangkau

Sebenarnya apa keistimewaan Ice cream Argentina? Dibandingkan dengan ala Amerika, Ice cream Argentina rasanya sejuk segar, penuh rasa buah, menggunakan produk susu berkualitas, rasa Ice cream Argentina dipuji oleh setiap orang.

Harganya juga terjangkau, sekalipun di gerai-gerai yang terkenal, seperti Freddo, Un Altra Volta, Chungo dan lain lain yang berada di Buenos Aires. Karena murah dan berkualitas, banyak orang membeli dalam kemasan 1 kilogram, atau satu gelas besar yang diisi sampai penuh, pelanggan merasa sangat puas. Digandrungi semua orang

Yang terpenting, Ice cream Argentina memiliki rasa khas lokal, misalnya dulce de leche (rasa karamel) yaitu produk khas Amerika Latin, rasa karamel, tidak lain adalah susu ditambah gula dimasak menjadi karamel, yaitu sirup karamel yang dapat dibeli di semua supermarket Amerika Latin, juga sangat lezat dipakai untuk mengolesi roti di pagi hari.

Tentu saja rasa dasar buah-buahannya merupakan bahan pilihan yang lezat, seperti rasa buah raspberry, blueberry, stroberi dan masih ada rasa coklat berkualitas. Di dalam gerai Ice cream Argentina, terpajang sederet aneka rasa dalam almari es transparan, pemandangan yang menggelitik ini sungguh membuat hati ingin mencicipi satu persatu semuanya.
Ice cream lokal sangat lezat

Gerai Ice cream Argentina yang terkenal kebanyakan terpusat di Buenos Aires, namun jangan dikira setelah meninggalkan ibu kota itu tidak akan menemukan Ice cream yang lezat, di kota lain juga terdapat gerai-gerai Ice cream berkualitas, lantas bagaimana membedakannya?

Lihat saja gerai yang pengunjungnya banyak, yang bahkan perlu antri, masuklah pasti tidak salah pilih. Ketika saya berwisata di Argentina, setiap hari kalau tidak menyantap Ice cream rasanya tidak enak, setiap kali tiba di sebuah kota akan berusaha keras untuk menemukan gerai es krim terbaik.

Lezatnya kekhasan Ice cream Argentina kelihatannya tidak mempengaruhi negara tetangga, begitu keluar dari batas negara dan memasuki Chili, Bolivia atau Brasil, agak sulit menemukan Ice cream berkualitas seperti di Argentina, bila benar-benar menemukannya mungkin saja merupakan produk impor dari Argentina. Bila sedang berada di Argentina nikmatilah sebaik-baiknya kesempatan untuk mengonsumsi Ice cream yang lezat. (erabaru.net)
