Afternoon tea
Afternoon tea is a light meal typically eaten between 3pm and 5pm. The custom of drinking tea originated in England when Catherine of Bragança married Charles II in 1661 and brought the practice of drinking tea in the afternoon with her from Portugal.Various places that belonged to the former British Empire also have such a meal. However, changes in social customs and working hours mean that most Britons will rarely take afternoon tea, if at all.
Traditionally, loose tea is brewed in a teapot and served in teacups with milk and sugar. This is accompanied by sandwiches (customarily cucumber, egg and cress, fish paste, ham, and smoked salmon), scones (with clotted cream and jam, see cream tea) and usually cakes and pastries (such as Battenberg, fruit cake or Victoria sponge). The food is often served on a tiered stand; there may be no sandwiches, but bread or scones with butter or margarine and optional jam or other spread.
A formal afternoon tea is, nowadays, usually taken as a treat in a hotel, café or tea shop. In everyday life, many British take a much simpler refreshment consisting of tea and biscuits at teatime.
While living in Woburn Abbey, Anna Maria Russell, Duchess of Bedford, is credited as the first person to have transformed afternoon tea in England into a late-afternoon meal rather than a simple refreshment.
Isabella Beeton describes afternoon teas of various kinds: the old-fashioned tea, the at-home tea, the family tea and the high tea and provides menus.

Katz's Delicatessen
Katz's Delicatessen, also known as simply Katz's of New York City, is a kosher-style (not Kosher according to Jewish Halacha) delicatessen restaurant located at 205 E. Houston Street, on the south-west corner of Houston and Ludlow Streets, in Manhattan.
Since its founding in 1888, it has become popular among locals and tourists alike for its pastrami sandwiches and hot dogs, both of which are widely considered among New York's best. Each week, Katz's serves 5,000 pounds of corned beef, 2,000 pounds of salami and 12,000 hot dogs.
During World War II, Katz's encouraged parents to "send a salami to your boy in the army" which became one of the deli's famous catch phrases,[2] along with "Katz's, that's all!" which is still painted on the side of the building. The former phrase is referenced in the Tom Lehrer song "So Long Mom (A Song for World War III)", with the lyric "Remember Mommy, I'm off to get a commie, so send me a salami, and try to smile somehow". Katz is also well known for its photos of famous people eating in Katz's placed along its wall.
Katz's continues its "Send a salami to your boy in the army" to this day. The deli has arranged special international shipping only for U.S. military addresses and has been a source of gift packages to the troops stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq.
As each customer enters Katz's they are handed a printed, numbered ticket by the door attendant. As they receive their food from various stations/areas throughout the deli (separate for sandwiches/hot dogs/bottled drinks/fountain drinks etc/ a running total of the bill before tax is computed by the employees. If several people's orders are combined on a single ticket, the blank ones are collected by the cashier. Relatively recently (within the last 10 years) Katz's has instituted a "lost ticket fee" If a ticket is lost by a customer, an additional $50 surcharge is added to what is often (with sandwiches costing between $15-$17) a rather large bill. The purpose of the fee, as stated by the management is to encourage patrons to go back and find the lost ticket in the hopes of preventing theft (substituting a smaller ticket for a larger one).
Katz's was the site of Meg Ryan's and Estelle Reiner's famous "I'll have what she's having" fake orgasm scene in the 1989 romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally...; the table at which she and Billy Crystal sat, is marked with a sign that says "Where Harry met Sally...hope you have what she had!". It was also the site of Johnny Depp's character meeting with an FBI contact in Donnie Brasco. Katz's Deli is also the site for a scene in Across the Universe in which one of the main characters reveals he has been drafted into the Vietnam War. Katz's also appears in the movie Enchanted with Patrick Dempsey and Amy Adams.

Chinese Cuisine
Traditional dim sum includes various types of steamed buns such as cha siu baau, dumplings and rice noodle rolls (cheong fun), which contain a range of ingredients, including beef, chicken, pork, prawns and vegetarian options. Many dim sum restaurants also offer plates of steamed green vegetables, roasted meats, congee porridge and other soups. Dessert dim sum is also available and many places offer the customary egg tart. Having a meal in a Chinese teahouse or a dim sum restaurant is known as yum cha (yam cha, 飲茶), literally "drinking tea", as tea is typically served with dim sum.
Dim sum can be cooked by steaming and frying, among other methods. The serving sizes are usually small and normally served as three or four pieces in one dish. It is customary to order family style, sharing dishes among all members of the dining party. Because of the small portions, people can try a wide variety of food.
Dim sum dishes can be ordered from a menu or sometimes the food is wheeled around on a trolley by servers. Traditionally, the cost of the meal is calculated based on the number, size, and sometimes color of the dishes left on the patron's table (more below). Some modern dim sum restaurants record the dishes on a bill at the table. Not only is this tidier, it also prevents patrons from cheating by concealing or stealing the plates. Servers in some restaurants use distinct stamps so that sales statistics for each server can be recorded.

Openricer Review 2
Hihihi..asyik juga ya nulis review. Diinget-inget gw pernah foto-foto makanan yang laen juga nih...Setelah gw baca-baca review OR yang lain, ternyata gak mesti special occasion aja ya nulis review? Jadiii.. gw cerita lagi deh meski sebenernya sih udah agak lamaan juga ya dari anniversary gw itu. Berhubung fotonya gw simpen jadi yaa...gw bisa tulis deh. Waktu itu sebenernya gak laper-laper amat, makanya gak cari tempat makan dengan porsi segambreng. Gw juga gak cari makanan dengan menu yang “serius” so, makan sandwich enak kali ya.. Ternyata sandwich yang satu ini mantep banget. Meskipun kedengerannya kayak makanan ringan, ternyata bikin perut full alias kenyang mbangeti! Ini sih lebih-lebih daripada makan nasi sepiring...hahaha. Niat awalnya cuma nyari cemilan, gak taunya malah kenyang beneran. Gak apa-apa, deh. Mantep sih. 
Hahaha..untung gw gak sendirian. Satu sandwich bisa diserbu rame-rame. Tower sandwich yang isinya 6 lembar roti ini macem-macem bu isinya... ada grilled chicken, beef bacon, scramble egg, rib eye steak, tuna n sauted mushrooms. Pantesan aja harganya mahal, lengkap siiih...
Btw, judulnya kan "Wish and Sandwich"... Wish-nya apa ya? Mmmm... semoga towernya diskon deh...heheheh...

Openricer review
Akhirnya bisa review lagi...!!!
hahaha... kali ini mau review salah satu restoran buffet di Grand Indonesia..
Well.. THANKS To OPENRICE atau Vouchernya... Free 1 Person Meal at Cardamon..!!!
Restoran Cardamon ini terletal di lantai 5 Grand Indonesia.. Restorannya cukup nyaman, Desain nya a`la cafe italia gitu.. tapi sebenarnya masakannya asia abis,..
Untuk suasana dan kebersihan restoran Cardamon cukup oke.. Cuma agak mengecewakan ternyata di dalem boleh smoking.. dan tidak ada space khusus para smoker.. alhasil kamipun cukup kecewa.
Ok, Langsung aja ke makanannya ya
Cardamon Restaurant memiliki konsep self service buffet yang artinya kita tinggal ambil aja makanannya dari meja saji..
1. Appetizer
Disini appetizernya ada salad dan soup...
nah karena soupnya kelihatan lebih maknyus makanya kamipun mengambil soup jagung.. nah di pojok kiri kami melihat sushi terpajang... langsung deh naluri sushinya muncul..langsung aja kita ambil..
Soup jagungnya enak..jagungnya manis asli..tapi supnya jadi agak terlalu manis..gurih sih..
sushinya standar lah.. yang enak sushi yang dibungkus telur itu..bentuknya bagus..telurnya manis-manis asin gimana gitu..
2. Main Course
Spaghetti Oriental.. Spaghetti ini nggak tawar...enak banget...pedes, manis, gurih... yummy..
Gindara Fish Finger..
Ikan gindara goreng ini enakk banget...ikannya seger.. emang dasar gw suka ikan sih...mantap abis deh ikannya
Potato Wedges.. Potato Wedgesnya ga tawar..dikasih bumbu gitu.. jadinya enak deh..beda sama potato wedges di resto buffet lain..
Beef Ball Curry
Bola-Bola daging sapi ini dimasak agak sedikit mirip rendang, hanya saja bumbunya tidak pedas.. rempah-rempahnya nampol abis..
Chicken Thailand Curry
Ayam ini the best of the best food menurut kami di cardamon.. bumbu karinya begitu enakk.. rempah abis... bumbunya juga tidak pedas..Recommended
Nasi Goreng
Nasi Goreng di Cardamon rasanya halus dan tidak terlalu nampol. ringan rasanya..
Mie Aceh
Mie Aceh juga salah satu makanan yang kami rekomendasikan.. Mie-nya rempah banget..agak pedas dan gurih asinnya juga pas... sensasi rasanya buat penasaran... pengen nambah lagi...
Khusus untuk Nasi Goreng & Mie Aceh dipesan melalui Waiter..
3. Dessert
Banana Caramel
Pisang disini manis-manis asem..cuma karena ada karamelnya yang begitu melted itu menutupi rasa asamnya.. yang bikin saya tambah suka.. Pisang Karamel disini disajikan dalam keadaan HANGAT... padahal taro di piring gitu loh di deretan dessertnya..
Es Selasih
Es nya rasanya standar..Segar manis.. isinya selasih, Rumput laut, dan nata de coco.
4. Beverages
1. Hot Tea
Hot Tea disini ga asal2an.. Pake DILMAH TEA.. terus dikasih berbagai macam pilihan gula untuk ditambahin ke tehnya... yang lucu kjita dikasih sebuah biskuit Oreo di samping cangkir tehnya..
2. Strawberry Thai Tea..
Minuman ini enak banget..di atasnya juice strawberry gitu cuma strawberrynya ga terlalu hancur... kemudian dicampur teh thailand, dan susu kental manis di bagian dasarnya..manis, asam.. TOP!!!!
Keseluruhan, makan di cardamon ini berkualitas dan enak.. tidak seperti kebanyakan restoran buffet yang mementingkan kuantitas dibanding kualitas.. mungkin ini sebabnya di cardamon memiliki jargon Eat All You Can bukan All You Can Eat kali ya..
Untuk makanan per-orang Rp. 75000++ Plus pajak 17% Jadi sekitar 87ribu-an..
Untuk Hot Tea nya Rp 13.500 + 17%
Untuk Strawberry Thai Tea nya Rp 26.000 + 17%
Disini member openrice yang udah punya open rice Card juga dapet diskon 15%..
Keseluruhan, Restoran Cardamon bakal jadi Restoran yang selalu bikin rindu setiap penikmat makanan asia..

Health benefits of eating seafood
Research over the past few decades has shown that the nutrients and minerals in seafood can make improvements in brain development and reproduction and has highlighted the role for seafood in the functionality of the human body.
Heart health
Doctors have known of strong links between fish and healthy hearts ever since they noticed that fish-eating Inuit populations in the Arctic had low levels of heart disease. One study has suggested that adding one portion of fish a week to your diet can cut your chances of suffering a heart attack by half.
Fish is thought to protect the heart because eating less saturated fat and more Omega-3 can help to lower the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood – two fats that, in excess, increase the risk of heart disease. Omega-3 fats also have natural built-in anti-oxidants, which are thought to stop the thickening and damaging of artery walls.
Regularly eating fish oils is also thought to reduce the risk of arrhythmia – irregular electrical activity in the heart which increases the risk of sudden heart attacks.
Brain functionality
The human brain is 10-12% lipids, including the Omega-3 fat DHA. Recent studies suggest that older people can boost their brain power by eating more oily fish, with those who enjoy it regularly are able to remember better and think faster than those who eat none. Other research has also suggested that adding more DHA to the diet of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder can reduce their behavioural problems and improve their reading skills, while there have also been links suggested between DHA and better concentration. Separate studies have suggested that older people who eat fish at least once a week could also have a lower chance of developing dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Joint benefits
Including fish as a regular part of a balanced diet has been shown to help the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis – a painful condition that causes joints to swell up, reducing strength and mobility. Studies also show that sufferers feel less stiff and sore in the morning if they keep their fish oil intake topped up.
Recent research has also found a link between Omega-3 fats and a slowing down in the wearing of cartilage that leads to osteoarthritis, opening the door for more research into whether eating more fish could help prevent the disease.
Iodine, Selenium, Vitamin A, Zinc
Fish is high in minerals such as iodine and selenium, which keep the body running smoothly. Iodine is essential for the thyroid gland, which controls growth and metabolism, while selenium is used to make enzymes that protect cell walls from cancer-causing free radicals, and helps prevent DNA damage caused by radiation and some chemicals.
Fish is also an excellent source of vitamin A, which is needed for healthy skin and eyes, and vitamin D, which is needed to help the body absorb calcium to strengthen teeth and bones.
