First of all introducing, Emcee of the night

MC Jazz Ivy (Zulu Nation)

Superman Ivy, born and raised in New York, the Mecca of Hip-hop, fell into the rhythm and melody of the traditional African music since childhood. Other than music, Ivy also took interest in literature, as it helps him to express his thoughts in writing.

*He is good in rapping!*

Next we have the guy who pump the music loud for the crowd
DJ Dust

DJ Dust aka Bboy Dust formally known as one of the Native Old School Bboy In Korea. He was inspired by many DJs from all over the world, hence the decision of being a dancer to the man behind the turntable. Quickly he gained his respect from the different famous DJs in both Eastern and Western countries.

IR 1968 Food Review

IR 1968

Indochine Restaurant & Bar

When was the last time I had my Indonesian's food? Is it when my maid cook? Nah! It would be during my last Bali trip 1,2,3 @ February.

But now I have a chance to dine in at a Indonesian cuisine restaurant.
First of all let me introduce the owner of the restaurant

Ms.Debbie Goh
she is very friendly and a cheerful person,
you can see her smiling & laughing while chatting with us!

she is a winner of 1998 Miss Malaysia Chinese International Pageant and she has also made appearances in various movies such as the famous Summer Holiday - "Ha Yat Dik Mo Mo Cha" and her latest appearance will be at Age Of Glory 2 - 情牵南洋

(you can check it out @ NTV7 -Monday to Thursday: 10pm-11pm)

and her partner Mr.Hudson Chang

basically he will be the one explaining the ingredients of the food and how they came up with the food's name. He explained the history of the restaurant, culture, & family.

What is IR?
IR stands for Indonesian Restaurant
Why IndoChine?
it is basically stands for Indonesian mix with Chinese, therefore this restaurant serve Indonesian food mix with Chinese style.
History about Hudson's grandfather, who is actually from Surabaya owned a Indonesian restaurant there at about year 1936. And his dad, went to Hong Kong and owned a Indonesian restaurant there.

Now lets start off with the Drinks
Sour Plum Juice (RM12)
suitable for those who does not have appetite to eat,
you can drink this to enhance your taste bud.
The sour taste is still tolerable.

Mango Kiwi (RM12)
made from fresh Mango & Kiwi that creates a perfect combo to refresh us.
If you think that you the sour plum is too sour, you must try this, it is a Sweet&Sour combo.

Fresh Peach Tea (RM12)
made from fresh Peach and added with tea, it is more like a light drink,
perfect for the elders.

Ice LemonGrass Ginger Tea (RM10)
saw the ginger in the tea? I personally dislike lemon grass but this drink is really refreshing.

The FOODs is up next
SOUPS category

we have #1 SOP BUNTUT

Indonesian OX Tail soup (RM12 per pax)

it is actually almost the same like the Malaysia Soup Ekor,

and BUNTUT in Indonesian means butt. In cantonese we call it "Sifat"soup.

This is special recommended by Hudson (the partner), as it really have strong taste of the tomato and also the aroma of OX tail. Many of the Malaysian love to drink this.

#2 SOP SHARK

-this is more like Chinese style soup, boiled with Shark's bone soup for few hours, as you can see the pictures above, it is serve with Shark's fin.

#3 SOP WANTON
Chinese double boiled Prawn soup with wanton (RM15 per pax)

-this is also the Chinese style soup, boiled with Prawn's shell, and the soup is fill with prawn's taste, and therefore wanton is added as toppings for the soup.
