Yummy Traveler's 2nd Anniversary !

Hello Yummy Readers ! 
Did you know that The Yummy Traveler's blog having its 2nd Anniversary on last 21st October? Yes it is ! :D and since me myself having my birthday on December, so why not sharing the joy in the middle of it  ( read : November ) ? :p 
It's near Thanksgiving week too! So I think it's a perfect time for me saying big big thanks for all of you dear readers and friends for all your supports ! Looking back 2 years ago, I even didn't expect how this blog could grow like today. I didn't say that I have the best blog in town, but I surely embrace every moment of it and the process of 'growing up'. There's sooooo many changes that I do since I've started this blog, but hey, stay with me. I am changing and I will keep changing ( in a good way ). I don't like living in boxes. 
So.... what's next ? Well.... Even though I had many goals in my mind, I didn't know what the future will bring. It's funny somehow looking at many people trying to be a 'well-known' food blogger nowadays?! I'm not that ambitious. Haha... I just do what I love to do,  and if people appreciate it, it's a bonus ;) 
Last words I wanna say thanks to all my Food Bloggers friends ( please check The Yummy Buddies boxes on the right ) to be my source of inspirations and learning. My family and friends, who always support me ( and sometimes accompany me to attend the food tasting ;p ). My one and only God, who opening the doors and giving me the talent and skills that I need. *Cheers !*

Holycow! Steakhouse by Chef Afit

So I just found out that this steakhouse is just recently open in Kelapa Gading area ( Yes, my area ! :p ). According to my longggg-ago post ( even the pictures are still with pocket camera ) here, it seems they're already separate their venture. One is Steakhotel by Holycow ( at Radio Dalam and Kemang ), one is this one, Holycow! Steakhouse by Chef Afit ( at Senopati and Kelapa Gading ). Well it does happen in business, doesn't it? Been there, done that ! #curcol

Atmosphere :
I came for a dinner time, and it's packed! Well.. the place are not too spacious though, only 1 shophouse. The interior was dominate with red and white color.



Price :
around IDR 80.000 - 120.000/ person ( 8-12USD )

Food :
Holycow quite famous with their 'affordable' wagyu. Even though we're not sure what grade are those wagyu, but yeah... who cares with grading when we just hungry for steak. 

That time I go with my female friends, so we decided to order some and share. First is Prime Sirloin Steak - IDR 65.000,-. They ran out of tenderloin, so that's why we choose the sirloin one. Well the beef are chewy and oily. Still chewy even we order it medium, and ... I wonder how they grilled it ( or maybe pan fried first then grilled?), but it's just very oily. I know I also didn't like my steak to be dry, but... maybe if they put some small cubes of good butter right after they grilled it, it would be moreeee tasty. However, the mushroom sauce, is always our favorite! Bad for the steak, but good for the fries :D

Next is, Wagyu Sirloin - IDR 98.000,-. I seriously questioned why they put the name 'wagyu' there if the taste are just same with usual sirloin? haha... Still chewy and oily though. But, one thing I like about their steak is they put some Italian herbs seasonings on it. I have order to the waiter to put moreeeee of the seasoning for the next one. 

Then, we order Rib Eye Big Bites ( 400gr )  - IDR 100.000,-. I found this quite a nice deal. You got a 2 piece of steak and I found that Rib Eye one are more tender than what I have before. And yes, it's taste better with moreee of the herbs seasoning.
