Buka Puasa with Iwakl at Rebung Chef Ismail Restoran

This is Chef Ismail.  He is at the verandah of his restaurant posing by the yellow table and advertising his place. 

I joined the Iwakl for this event on 15th June 2016 and driving there was quite easy except before  I reached Lake Club and Lake Garden the  traffic at Jalan Hishamuddin was at quite a standstill. 


 The restaurant on the fifth floor was quite huge, and I am at the terrace or verandah where there were more food and even tables.  Lily took this for me.

Waiting for the gong to sound the break of puasa so we cold start to eat. Of course, we, the non-Muslims did not fast hehe.
Some of the ladies and men!
 We could eat now, and well, I took too much food!

 Let me show you the buffet table laden with food...this is inside the hall
lots of local fare (touted as authentic kampung food)
 
Everywhere there were these display rack of dishes which we used to use!!! I was quite tickled pink!
 See? the kangkong dishes we serve dinner in, in Taman Midah house.  When it gets chipped or broken and the number diminishes, I go to Batu Pahat to get fresh supplies!  But here it is on show like antiques!!!


 Note too, the tiffin and food carriers that Kong Kong uses too!
 My favourite, siput masak lemak, it may  taste like nothing but I love sucking out the curly wurly stuff and licking the lemak curry, I am that perverted.

 Ferns or pucuk paku manis in lemak curry.






 Selfie with Lily and Neeta, except that my selfie stick broke during the Yogyakarta trip due to overuse so I can't get a decent picture.
 These pictures are by Shanti, the beautiful Indon girl in fuschia robe and the one in white gown is the chef himself.


Chef Ismail carrying LV boston bag and in white long gown, came out to mingle and take photos with guests, but I had left because I had a late night movie date (Me before You) with my lo kong.
So, I took a pic with his standee!
Go experience his Ramadhan Buffet: address, phone and location is all in the poster above.

Ibis Hotel, Jogjakarta

During our 4 days 3 nights Jogjakarta tour, we stayed 3 nights at Ibis Hotel in the Malioboro area, the central business district and close to Malioboro Mall.  
It is cute, funky and very colourful, with three main colours: orange, green and burnt sienna (brown lah!)


Ibis Hotel, view from the bakso stall
It may not look much but it is cosy and comfortable and does not break your bank.
 "Considered by many to be better than the high-end hotels in the region, the 150 well-appointed rooms here are a relatively undiscovered treasure. Hotel Ibis Malioboro is centrally located for business and right on the street that is famous for its shopping. It is located just 40 minutes from one of the forgotten Seven Wonders of the World, Borobudur Temple - something that travelers should not miss while in the region. All types of food can be found in the area, but have a look at the pizza joint in the basement which serves some tasty pizza pie." 



 This must be the pizza joint!

 Daughter could not find the bath towels in the bathroom when she wanted to shower and no wonder it was on the bed masquerading as a peacock.
Everyday there will be a different "animal", well the housekeeper is very creative with her hands!
 a pair of love swans
 a snail!!!
 rabbits!






 




 View from my window
 bathroom is all glass





 slippers are in green and orange









 daughter had a third bed, very spacious and papa is trying it out



 avantgarde coffee and lounging area



So, Ibis Hotel is highly recommended because it is value for money!! Oh, and they have a sky bar (see my other post here    
and a massage and spa centre too!!!
