"Local Guide Surabaya" photo by @fahmiadimara

Yesterday we ‘re visited Seigo Japanese Cuisine Restaurant to discover new experience on tasting Japanese cuisine for the first time since their grand opening the month before. As Japanese restaurant. They serve a wide array of authentic Japanese cuisine, including the rare menu such as Abalone and Wagyu beef that couldn’t be found easily at many restaurants in Surabaya.

Upon entering a restaurant, I was greeted with the expression “irasshaimase” meaning “welcome, please come in”. The waiter or waitress asked me how many people in my party and then lead me to the table. But for this time when I said that I was member of Surabaya Local Guides they lead me to the special room, seems like their VIP room or only for certain guest. The room has two doors and separated wide table which has six to ten chairs on its side.

After seated, the waiters give us a warm smile and place refilled ocha on our table with many of traditional-looked Japanese cups. The chopsticks are placed on the table with a small plate for the sauce and medium plate for the dishes, all the things are already set. The menu is illustrated, they have the pictures of each menu. Once we have finished ordering, the waitress will repeat the order back for confirmation.

Last night we have 9 orders for our dinner, here is the list:
Nori Taco Special Sushi
Sushi Nori Tempura 6 pc
Flossy Tuna with Tamago and Cheese Sushi Roll
Unagi Nentai Cheese Roll
Salmon Skin Roll
Udon Katsu Curry
Japanese Pasta Mix Katsu
Seigo Rice and Noodle Mix Grill
Spicy Tuna

Once the order is ready to serve, the waiters enter the room with the food and ask about what we need, like if you don’t like to use chopstick they will get the spoon for you. We spent 3 hours to finish our dinner and took some photos. In my opinion, the taste is different with the other Japanese restaurant that I ever tried before, taste so good. They also set the food (plating) very well, so interesting.

 

Well, the conclusion of our foodcrawl is…

“The taste is amazing, the ambience is perfect and they serve the customer with a great service”

Thank you for having us !

Fall Internship

One week ago, my class went to Majapahit Agro Lestari Hotel, Mojokerto. We had some internship about plant's taxonomy there. We collected morphology and property data from every plants and looking for some type of plants that would be needed for our next practicum. I had talk a bit about Majapahit Agro Lestari (MAL) on my last post "Journey to Cangar". On that post I have little discussed about this place and take some photo of me (who cares, no one want to know about it, haha).

MAL is a natural hotel which located on Mojokerto highland. Thousands of plant species, Cold and cool air, hum of the insects, the smell of the forest litter, acres of pinery, ledge type of waterfall, bla bla bla~ such a beautiful sight and wonderful thing~ You couldn't find any single thing above in Surabaya. MAL use concept of artificial forest inside, and natural forest outside the building. Like another hotel, it must be have various facility such as swimming pool, gym, outbound, rafting, family gathering spot, etc. For the rooms, they use concept of natural village house in deep country, so there was many of ‘true’ farmer who had worked around the hotel, just like the real deep country.

I have many activities there, made a monograph, plants identification, calculated the population density, had a lunch, studied about TOGA plants, took some photos, etc. Actually, depend on the schedule, actually we back to Surabaya at 18.00. The fact we back to surabaya on the evening (around 16.00). For some reason, We had to come back early. But I feel so happy, that was a different experience for me to study at the ‘real place’  for the scientist, especially for biologist. (since it was my first internship). 

How about yours? Did you have any internship yet, fellas?
Thank you for reading my article, see yaa next time x)

I've Got Two Rewards in PP LKMM !!

 

With my friends from chemistry department

3 Weeks ago I have some training program called PP LKMM. Which it was the one of five training program in my campus. My campus, ITS have 5 training progams which conducted sequentially and all of them have related. They are LKMM Pra-TD, LKMM TD, PP LKMM, LKMM TM and LKMM TL. Each training program have a difficult selection and If I don't pass the first training program then I would not be able to continue to the next training program. For the example, if I don't pass LKMM Pra-TD then I couldn't participate LKMM TD. I have to wait until the next year to participate the same training programs.

Training program which I have attended a few weeks ago is PP LKMM or just called it PP. It have 3 levels of selection. They are administration selection, writing test selection and interview selection. Luckily, I have passed all of the selection and can participated that training program. I feel lucky because of many of my competitors are an extraordinary person. Actually, PP is a training program which used to create a training guide (trainer). So many people who wanted to be a trainer, but the quote is limited. My faculty just choose 33 of the hundreds of existing registries. 

During the 3 days of training, I met with incredible persons and all of them are very active in the discussion. First time I was in discussion session, I feel awkward cause I think that all of them (another participant) seemed full preparation for this training. But eventually, I could adapting with them (perhaps because I'm a hyperactive person #hoho).

 

That's me in the one of LKMM's interview

I’m a strange person, or just use ‘unique’ word to look more polite #haha. Cause I could change my personality whenever I want. When I felt that I have adapted with peoples around me. I have another target beside to pass this training program, I want to give all what I have, increase my effort, and running out all of my energy. Even many of my competitors was an extraordinary person, multilanguage person, smart person or something like that #hahaha. Who cares? I just have to do my best, right? I don't have to be the winner, but I have to do everything correctly and perfectly. I consider to being the second but I don’t want to being the wrong. 

On the last day of the training, I succeded gain 2 of 3 existing reward. As the most excited participant and the most active participant (there are double winner for this category, Me and my friend from physic department, Betabayu Santika). Another reward was gained by Almira as the most good-looking participant. That’s not bad, and I’m proud of my struggle during 3 days in PP LKMM. Oh I almost forgot, I have streak my own record, as the most active participant during 2 years training period in my faculty and my department (in LKMM Pra-TD, LKMM TD, and PP LKMM).
