Another Day at Greyhound


This is not the animal although I am pretty sure they were inspired by one. This is the restaurant me and my husband among only fewer others, that we frequently visit. We love to keep coming back here for its quality and quiet reasonable priced foods. Beside, its only 10 minutes walking distance from our home.

Apparently after a while I just found out that this brand in Thailand was started from clothing business! To be precise - men's clothing in 1980. Then they make women's clothing, shoe, accessories and lastly a restaurant. In 1997 their first branch in Emporium is opened. Nice pick. Emporium is famous for upscale and fashionable outlets within. Also it lies in Sukhumvit road where a lot of expatriates and rich Thais live. Those that somehow can be picky of what they eat. (agree?)

Anyway, that day I decided to order scallops with mashed potato and grilled veggy with pesto sauce. It turned out to be great! I must admit the quality of each ingredients that makes the difference. My husband try their fish menu (I forget what they called it) and it's also excellent. I remember that last year they even have salmon special with chef and ingredients flew directly from Norway. Nice try!

But, they do have more than just seafood in this place. Actually, they have every kind of food. They do thai-asian and western too. They have noodle, seafood, poultries and meats. But there's the problem.. they put porky stuff at almost all of the options. Usually in a chunky bite. Not really good bet for me, seafood would be better.



According to a friend who is a porky lover, greyhound's noodle is the best. Intrigued by it, I try their pasta first. 2 occasions and both turned me down. It was just too dry. Next time I order beef soup noodle. With a clear explanation that I am allergy to pork, so no chance they can put even just a drop of pork stock. And, it tastes good. So beefy.

Their choices of beverages also good. You can get regular sodas, variety of cocktails, mocktails, juices and nice wine. However, the downside is that their portion is quite big for single eater. I hardly able to order their desserts. Its best to order several food with a bunch of friends and share them. Enjoy the ambience, good service, good food and make sure you bring good company.

Mendarat di Bandara Luar Negeri Tanpa Bingung

Image
Kalau di part 1 saya nulis tentang proses keberangkatan (departure) sekarang kita bahas proses kedatangan (arrival). Sekali lagi saya tekankan bahwa di semua bandara prosesnya sama secara umum. yang membuat semua terasa ribet hanya karena bandaranya besar atau negara tersebut punya tingkat 'parno' lebih atas sesuatu. Misalnya di Korea sedang ada wabah virus, maka semua pendatang harus mengisi pernyataan kesehatan saat tiba. Atau di Perth yang parno dengan barang bawaan pendatang, maka pemeriksaan bagasi bisa lebih mendetail. Hal lain yang membuat banyak orang takut saat tiba di bandara luar negeri (selain takut tersesat) adalah pengisian aneka formulir. Apalagi jika merasa kemampuan bahasa Inggris 'nol' atau pas-pasan. Untuk itu sebenarnya tidak perlu kursus bahasa Inggris khusus, tapi diingat saja istilah-istilahnya. Karena akan mirip di semua negara. Pada dasarnya proses Arrival (kedatangan) di bandara Internasional adalah :  Periksa Paspor ---> Ambil bar

Aturan Imigrasi Thailand Untuk Long Term Stay

Image
Saya menemukan informasi mengenai aturan keimigrasian Thailand di beberapa poin pengurusan berbeda-beda. Yang saya maksud poin adalah kantor imigrasi di dalam wilayah kerajaan Thailand dan kedutaan serta konsular Thailand di luar negara tersebut.  Karena suami bekerja di kantor swasta lokal yang smua diurus sendiri, jadilah saya ikutan belajar smua aturan ini. Untungnya, saya udah biasa ngurus aneka surat-surat sendiri dan gerilya sana sini. Tapi menjadi tamu di negeri orang, rasanya lebih beruntung orang-orang yang gak seperti saya jadi tau beres saja. Moga-moga sharing ini berguna buat yang butuh. Pengajuan visa sebagai turis Thailand di Indonesia dapat dilakukan di konsular mereka di Denpasar dan Jakarta. Tapi pengajuan visa lainnya hanya bisa dilakukan di Jakarta. Pemegang paspor Indonesia dapat masuk ke dalam wilayah Thailand tanpa mengajukan visa dan memperoleh izin tinggal selama 30 hari  (di cap di bandara maupun pos perbatasan darat lainnya). Dengan visa turis yang diper

Drama Goblin (lokasi syuting dan pernak pernik).

Image
Meskipun sesungguhnya ada kesempatan untuk nge-gap kru drama ini lagi syuting di Seoul, plus lokasi-lokasinya sudah terlacak dengan tepat, tetapi karena satu dan lain hal, tidak bisa terlaksana. Yah, memang sudah takdir hanya ketemu para oppa kece ini di layar kaca, saya pasrah. Semangat dan energi bergoblin-goblin kita salurkan dengan mendokumentasinya beberapa tempat syuting sepenuh hati plus mengkoleksi memorabilia berbau Goblin. 1. Rumah Goblin dan Grim Reaper Yang kita perlu tahu, banyak drama korea yang luar dan dalamnya bangunan bisa beda. Ya rumah, ya kantor, ya sekolah... apalah. Termasuk rumah Goblin ini. Tampilan luarnya disyuting di Deoksung Women's University. Deket banget dari Insadong. Masih bisa jalan kaki dari Gyeongbokgung/Bukchon. Turun di subway station : Anguk, line 3, exit 4. Pintu masuk ke Deoksung University ada di samping gerbang Unhyeonggung. Bagian belakang bangunan ini sudah bisa terlihat dari jauh, saat masuk gerbang Unhyeonggung. Bisa cek ala
