Tongseng Pak Jumadi

By Charlie Hartono - 1:05:00 pm
Warung Tongseng dan Sate Pak Jumadi is located just 15 minutes walk from my office compound in World Trade Center Sudirman.

Venom

By Charlie Hartono - 4:46:00 pm
Verily, I am not a big fan of snake, its blood or even the meat.  For most people, snake is associated with evil. It makes many people are afraid of it, particularly for its deadly venom.

Udah lama banget pengen nge-videoin cara bikin Cakue rumahan tapi gak pernah kesampean. Ada alasan kenapa Cakue.

By Charlie Hartono - 8:25:00 am
Kalimat menggantungkan cita cita setinggi langit mungkin sudah akrab di telinga kita sejak kita kecil. Pagi ini, dalam perjalanan dari Jakarta ke Jayapura menuju tujuan akhir di Wamena, kalimat itu kembali terngiang. Waktu kita ingin menggantungkan sesuatu, pasti ada tempat yang dijadikan cantelan.
