Takoyaki Balls, Tasty Japanese Snack

I first found out Takoyaki in food exhibition at the university center, Gadjah Mada University. At that time, I was very surprised with the ball-shaped food from Japan's. Food counter selling Takoyaki ball was filled with octopus pictures. I thought the octopus meat balls are very fishy. I did not dare to taste the Takoyaki balls.

At one point, coming home from swimming in Depok sports center, I accidentally saw the food counter selling Takoyaki, Takoyakiku. The smell of tasty food from the counter made me even more hungry. I also stopped to try the Japanese food.

Takoyaki balls presented with some kind of topping on takoyakiku. There are original Takoyaki, Takoyaki ue keju, Takoyaki Sakana menari, and Takoyaki naka tepu. From the fourth menu, I just had to try three menus.

Takoyaki original must be tried when we were very hungry because we will get five balls. Three other menus contain only four Takoyaki balls. Although without toppings, original Takoyaki is already very tasty because it was covered with teriyaki sauce tastes very delicious, combination of sweet, salty, and savory, and the smell of typical Japanese food.

For seafood lovers, You must try Takoyaki Sakana Menari. The smell of tuna fish are felt. This menu is called Sakana Menari because we can see the dried tuna fish dancing on Takoyaki balls. Dried tuna is also known as katsuobushi. However, if you do not really like seafood, better choose another menu because the smell of tuna in Takoyaki Sakana dancing quite sharp.

Well, the menu that's worth a try by all people is Takoyaki ue keju. Cheese topping on Takoyaki ball are so fits. Taste the cheese was very tasty. It turned out the delicious taste of cheese because the cheese is cheese kraft use. If you Takoyaki freaks, you must try this menu. Typical Japanese food but the flavor is perfect for us. Oya, although tako means octopus, but the Jogja Takoyaki mostly still using squid meat. : D

I followed the cheese kraft photo contest. Please support me, my friends! Give comments and votes on this photo:

Tamarind beneficial for health, is a myth?

Tamarind beneficial for health, is a myth? Last night, I ate tamarind candy that does not sleepy in the journey. Candy is indeed eliminate the sleep during the trip. Content of glucose can overcome drowsiness due to one reason for drowsiness is lack of glucose supply in the brain. Is tamarind helpful? This question arose when I woke up this morning. Then, I opened medical journal about tamarind health benefits.

Research carried out several researchers from Bangladesh proved that tamarind is beneficial for our health. Researchers examined the effect of tamarind on blood pressure, weight, and lipid profiles in 30 adults who become subjects in the study. 15 of whom were given a dose of tamarind extract 15 mg / kg body weight for 4 weeks. Body weigth, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, trygliseride measured before and after the experiment performed.

Apparently, tamarind taken for 4 weeks is really useful. Although no decrease in body weight and systolic blood pressure, subjects who consumed tamarind decreased diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol. This is very beneficial because LDL cholesterol is bad cholesterol that can clog arteries and cause coronary heart disease. Thus, consumption of tamarind on a regular basis can prevent the increase in bad cholesterol, prevent disease hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis disease. This natural medicine can not effect rapidly like synthetic drugs. Natural medicines such as tamarind is useful in the long run.

In this study, tamarind can not lose weight, but our ancestors drank turmeric tamarind to lose weight. Is this a myth?

There are lots of entertainment and performances in the city of Jogja. If you like shopping at the night market, there are currently sekaten celebration. If you like movies, you can watch movies in cinemas XXI, studio 21, movie box, or Empire home cinema.

However, buying tickets when the holiday is not an easy thing. Dozens of people flocked to buy tickets. If we do not come sooner, we could not get tickets. In fact, sometimes we have to wait several hours before the booth opened, such as harry potter movie premiere. The same thing you can face when you like watching hockey, especially Chichago Blackhawks games. To obtain Chicago Blackhawks Tickets, we have to fight with thousands of other fans.

If you like circus, you can also watch the circus show at the night market sekaten. If not mistaken, the circus tickets price is quite cheap, about 10 thousand rupiahs.

6 reasons why I like plurk more than twitter and facebook

We have a lot of social networking sites that we can follow. These sites offer many facilities. Each site has unique characteristics. Among the many social networking sites, I'm quite active through facebook, plurk and twitter. However, if I update my status, I more frequently update through plurk. Status will also appear on facebook and twitter. There are several reasons why I prefer plurk.

1. Plurk does not need high class computer and fast connectivity
My computer is a computer belonging to ancient times that have only a very limited memory. If i open heavy program, my computer often does not respond. I often experienced this when opening facebook. However, if I open a plurk or twitter, I rarely deal with the problem..

2. Plurk provides unique emoticons
From the first, I was obsessed to have complete plurk emoticons. Although facebook also provides some hidden smileys, this facility is only available for chat. Facebook smiley facilities can not be used for status or comments

4. Plurk more easily to monitor the status from time to time
I still have a hard time going to see the status twitter a few days ago. These problems will not be found in plurk because I simply move the timeline to monitor the status from time to time.

5. Plurk layout more diverse
Among these three networking site, facebook is the only site that does not provide facilities to change the layout. Although there are several ways to change the look of facebook, but the layout can not be seen by others. Twitter provides a facility to change the layout. However, more varied plurk layout. Moreover, now many sites that provide free plurk layout

6. Plurk has a karma system
Karma is one of the factors that encourage us to always update the status of plurk. This system can not be found on twitter or facebook. The higher the karma we are, more fun emoticons that we can use.

Yup, some of the above are all factors that made me more like plurk. How about you?
