Dee, Sorry for the Haze

Dear all South East Asian Countries, we apologize for unpleasant condition in this few days..

Unpleasant bad weather and environment caused by our country..

Haze covered all over your country, haze makes all of you very hard to breath, uncomfortable to do any routine of work. We are sorry.


We are apologizing for everything.



As Indonesian, I am not deny, the haze comes from my hometown, Riau.
The haze comes from new plantation in summer/dry season, no rain to reduce the haze.


Unfortunately, do you know who should take responsibility for this bad environment?
Who start the bad environment with open palm plantation in our green environment before?
Who the man of destroying our forest in Bukit Barisan?
Who start destroying our forest and make it as plantation?
Who give our local to destroy and kill our rare animal in the forest?
Who should take responsibility for killing tiger in our forest?
Do you use palm oil for cooking?
Do you know who change coconut plantation become palm plantation?
Do you know who change our forest become bird nest plantation?


If you still know nothing, please google it, and don't blame Indonesian.
Our family in hometown, should struggle it every years although we don't get anything from that.



Sincerely,
Dee - Indonesian who grew up in Riau,
who ever saw tiger in our forest,
who had play with colorful crab in mud,
who miss see eagles fly in the sky,
Everything is gone....


You start to change, you got the KARMA.
Dear Singaporean, Malaysian.... Sorry for the haze

Dee, Ikkudo Ichi Ramen, PIK

Lia was in town, so we arranged to meet and had lunch together. We are craving for ramen, and ended at Ikkudo Ichi Ramen.

The restaurant is quiet busy, and full of customers, but not long queue as Ikkousha Ramen. The negative point of their service is no wifi in restaurant. They don't want their customer to stay too long in their limited seat! :p


I ordered tonkotsu ramen with extra tamago. I asked them to make the tamago bit raw, but ended with fully cooked, bit disappointed. We also order pork cheeks for appetizer. The pork cheeks was good, very lovely meat, and melted in my mouth. With their price, it is so affordable if compare with Shantouka Ramen, best ramen in town, Ikkudo offers slightly cheaper than Shantouka.


And back to the main dish, the ramen is good. Their soup is also good, not too oily and tasted as fresh bone with the meat, I like it very much, compare with Ikkousha with extra lard and oily soup, IMHO Ikkousha is not recommended ramen restaurant.


Overall for Ikkudo, I give 7.5/10, please try if you are in PIK area, better than Ikkousha Ramen.
