Sunye's Getting Married!

With the news of Sunye getting married, are you guys worried about me? You know, I used to pair her with Super Junior's Donghae...

Well, guess what? I'm fine, people! I really am.
I've come to embrace the fact since Sunye made her first announcement of the relationship.
Of course, I don't know her boyfriend personally, but he seems to be a real good man, and he makes Sunye happy. That's why it's easier for me to say goodbye to my sinking ship.

I sincerely congratulate the happy couple.

Warung Bu Ageng

Warung Bu Ageng is a traditional eatery that sells story and authenticity. It is owned by Butet Kartaredjasa who comes from well-known artist-culturalist family in Yogyakarta. The restaurant is named after Umar Kayam's wife (that makes her Butet's aunt). Bu Ageng is her nickname.

Decoration on one side of the wall

Warung Bu Ageng was founded in tourism area, Jl. Tirtodipuran - Mantrijeron Yogyakarta, just across the street from Jl. Prawirotaman. Along those streets you can find many guest houses, hotels, restaurants, art shops and souvenirs (such as Monggo chocolate and batik).

I successfully convinced my father to have family meal here. Serving Javanese home-cooked food, this restaurant immediately stole my parents' heart. The signature dish is Eyem Penggeng (Broiled Chicken a la Umar Kayam), smeared with the famous "bumbu mlekoh". The free-range chicken is first simmered with traditional spices & thick coconut cream and then broiled.

It should be called ayam panggang -- which is known as special food from near town Klaten. A seller from Klaten with a nasal voice used to hawk the dish calling out, "Eyem Penggeng!", that stuck as its name. It was popularized by the late Umar Kayam, who used to write a local newspaper column (Kedaulatan Rakyat). He was also the first to concoct the exclamation "mak nyus" which is echoed nationwide by Pak Bondan Winarno through his culinary show.

So, here are some of the foods...

In Time With You

We started this drama because of Donnapie. She loves the drama to bits. She put it in the 5-star category of her T-Drama ranking, and Li Da Ren - Cheng You Qing (the main characters of the drama) become one of her favorite OTPs. Donna's followers also seem to enjoy the recommended drama. It's a high-quality drama, after all, as it won big at Golden Bell Awards.
That's why we feel a little bit guilty when we don't enjoy it as much as they do. Hence, the long stretch of time we need to finish the drama.
