Mr. Pancake Semarang - Indonesia

a week ago, we went to a restaurant and cafe Mr. Pancake in Semarang.
when we came, There are only a few motorcycles and 2 cars in the parking lot.  
we thought,the place is not open yet, but then the waiter opened the door and greeted us.
"Welcome to Mr. Pancake Resto and Cafe ... please come in."


We get inside and find a comfortable seat.
We felt like at home because of the interior.
There is a display of bookcase just like at home.


after we were comfortably seated, the waiter gave us the menus.
there are several menus that seem tasty.
we chose the Double Decker and Pan cake with vanilla ice cream on it.
and for drink we chose mineral water and Ice Lemon Tea.


We did not wait so long, about 15 minutes, our order has been completed and we can enjoy.
The double decker is yummy but unfortunately it is still fishy, I almost vomited when I eat the flesh of fish, but when it is mixed with the pancake and the vegetables, the fishy taste is reduced. while the regular pan cake with Vanilla ice cream is pretty good.

Now, we are talking about pricing, it may be too expensive for the people of Semarang.
  No wonder that the place was deserted when we arrived even it is the lunch hour.
for the Double Decker's, the price is Rp 28.000++
for regular cake pan with Vanilla Ice cream's price is Rp 26.000++
Aqua mineral water for the smallest bottles, the price is Rp 6.000
I don't remember for sure  the price of Lemon Ice Tea, but it's above Rp 10,000++

It already becomes my habit when dining at the new place, I always take pictures of food.
there the picture, it looks yummy, right? ........... :)

Run by Leona Lewis (the lyrics)

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Steps To Make Strong Pasword In Facebook

You need to have a strong facebook password because if someone hacks into your facebook account they will get access to all your personal information and data. Statistics suggest that more than 600000 facebook accounts are hacked every day. For this reason, it is important to have a strong password, and one of the most reliable ways of having a strong password is to create one that is difficult to crack. A strong password has to balance security with our ability to remember it. It’s a tough line — the most memorable passwords are the easiest to crack, while the most secure are impossible to recall.
