The Village Club
( restaurant review )

From the moment you walk in through the door, everything about the Village Club says 'class'. From the beautifully dressed, helpful waiters in their white jackets and gloves, to the lovely violin background music, attention is paid to every detail. The Village Club is about more than just fine food.

I was meeting a friend there, so we decided to have cocktails in the comfortable bar before dinner. The expertly mixed cosmopolitans had just the right balance of sweet cranberry juice and a sharp taste of lime. From the bar, we could look into both the tea room and the main dining room. The tea room was so bright and cheerful. Colourfully-patterned comfy chairs were crowded around small low tables, which were covered in flowers. The rose-scented air drifted out towards us whenever guests left. I imagined falling asleep in the warm room. The elegant Victorian design in that room was tasteful and understated. A few circular tables stood along each wall of the candlelit room. Sturdy, high-backed chairs with soft cushions surrounded the tables. The room smelled like leather and oak, and the aromaof a perfectly cooked steak made my mouth water. As I sipped my drink, diners' forks and knives clinked softly, and their quiet conversations provided a soothing background to our dining experience.

The menu was unusually extensive, including appetisers such as spinach and ricotta ravioli, main dishes like juicy steak served with fresh vegetables, and dangerously rich-sounding desserts such as the double chocolate cake with bitter chocolate ice cream.

I decided on a simple salad to start with, while my friend went for the tomato and basil soup. For main course we choose the fillet of veal parmesan and the baked salmon. My salad was extremely fresh with a deliciously tart dressing. On the other hand, my friend thought the soup tasted  bit garlicky, but it was not overpowering it. Unfortunately, while the salmon smelled wonderful, it was overcooked and a bit dry, and the vegetables were bland.


After this, we were too full for dessert, do that will have to wait for next time, and for me, there certainly will be a next time.


The Village Club is at 23 George Street, Birmingham.
Open for dinner 5-10 pm, Tuesday-Sunday, closed Monday. 
Prices start at 25 Euro per person.

Menu Sisi dengan Jquery

Hai sobat blogger sekalian, pada postingan kali ini saya akan berbagi informasi cara mempercantik desain blog anda dengan menampilkan Menu Sisi dengan Jquery. Mungkin postingan ini menjadi jawaban bagi sobat sekalian yang pernah melihat blog teman atau orang lain yang menampilkan animasi seperti ini. Bagi para blogger yang sudah menguasai atau pernah belajar CSS dan Jquery mengedit blog menjadi lebih dinamis tentunya bukan perkara sulit, jadi disini saya tidak bermaksud menggurui hanya membantu para blogger baru yang tidak mengerti dan mempunyai rasa ingin tahu yang kuat sehingga diharapkan kedepannya dapat berbagi juga kalo mempunyai tips dan trik berharga mengenai blog. Dulu saya pernah mencari d google bagaimana sih membuat animasi ini, namun tidak kunjung ditemukan caranya, sehingga kemudian saya mempelajari Jquery lebih dalam dan akhirnya berhasil membuatnya sendiri, Alhamdulillah :D. Tidak berlama-lama lagi, langsung saja kita mulai tutorialnya :

1. Sign in pada account blogger sobat>>> pada dasbor>>> Klik Template>>> Edit HTML.

2. Tekan Ctrl+F kemudian cari kode </head>.

3. Tambahkan Script JQuery berikut sebelum tag atau kode </head> tersebut.

<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.js' type='text/javascript'/>

catatan: Bagi sobat yang pernah menambahkan atau ditemplate sobat sudah terdapat script JQuery maka langkah ke-3 abaikan saja.

4. Kemudian tambahkan pula script berikut dibawah script JQuery tadi.

<script src='http://www.google.com/jsapi'/>
<script>
google.load(&quot;jquery&quot;, &quot;1.3.2&quot;);
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(function() {
$(&#39;#menusisi a&#39;).stop().animate({&#39;marginLeft&#39;:&#39;-50px&#39;},1000);
$(&#39;#menusisi &gt; li&#39;).hover(
function () {
$(&#39;a&#39;,$(this)).stop().animate({&#39;marginLeft&#39;:&#39;-2px&#39;},200);
},
function () {
$(&#39;a&#39;,$(this)).stop().animate({&#39;marginLeft&#39;:&#39;-50px&#39;},200);
}
);
});
</script>

5. Tekan Ctrl+F lagi kemudian cari kode </body>.

6. Tambahkan Script JQuery berikut sebelum tag atau kode </body> tersebut.

<ul id='menusisi'>

Comparisons

'Much' or 'a lot' can be used to show that there is a big difference between two people or things.
'A little' or 'a bit' can be used to show a small difference.
With adjectives :

Austrians are much more formal than Swedes, and they are much less direct.
Austria is a bit cheaper than Sweden.
Remember that we cannot use a double comparative.
Right : Austrian food is much heavier.
Wrong : Austrian food is much more heavier.
With adverbs :
She speaks a little more quietly than I do.
He drives a lot faster than I do.
With nouns :
If the noun is uncountable, we use 'much' or 'a lot' (for a big difference), and 'a little' or 'a bit' (for a small difference).
In Sweden, they eat a lot more fish. They have much less daylight in winter.
If the noun is countable, we use 'many' or 'a lot' (for a big difference), and 'a few' (for a small difference).
There are many more jobs in Sweden.
There are a few more taxis in New York than London.
Use 'fewer' to compare countable nouns and 'less' to compare uncoutable nouns.
There are many fewer hours of daylight in Swedish winter.
In Sweden, they have much less daylight in winter.


Descriptions

When we ask for a description of someone or something, we can use: 'what' + to be + like?

examples :
What is your new car like?
What is the weather like in spring?
What's Chinese food like?
We usually don't use the word 'like' in the answer, unless we are comparing two things.
The weather is warm and dry.
The weather in spring here is like summer in your country.
We can use the same structure to find out more details about taste, smell, texture, and appearance. We use the verb 'taste', 'smell', 'feel', and 'look'.

You can Answer these questions in variety of ways. If you use an adjective, the word 'like' does not appear in the in the answer. If you use a noun, you need to use the word 'like' in the answer.

FORM 1 : Subject + 'taste' / 'smell' / 'feel' / 'look' / ['be'] + adjective
FORM 2 : Subject + 'taste' / 'smell' / 'feel' / 'look' + 'like' + noun
What does it taste like?
It is spicy.
It tastes spicy.
It tastes like chicken.

What does it feel like?
It is soft.
It feels soft.
It feels like velvet 
When you answer the question 'What does __________ look like?', the answer doesn't usually  include the word 'look' if you are using adjectives.
What does she look like?
She's tall and beautiful.
For the verbs 'taste', 'smell', 'feel', and 'look', we are can also use 'How?' We answer the same way.
How does it taste?
It is spicy.
It tastes spicy.
It tastes like chicken.

GITAR IMPIAN

1. Gibson Les Paul

Menurutku, ini gitar terbaik yang pernah ada. Banyak di gunakan musisi dunia, seperti Slash dari Gun n' Rosess.




 2. Gibson Flying V

Gitar unik yang sangat cool menurutku,
cocok digunakan oleh para rocker. Gitar ini
pernah digunakan oleh gitaris legendaris
Jimmy Hendrix.




 KOTA TUJUANKU

1. London,  UK

Kota yang menurutku paling mengagumkan, dari arsitektur bangunan yang menggambarkan kerajaan nan megah, negeri sepakbola yang dihuni pemain-pemain papan atas dunia, sampai perguruan tinggi terbaik yang menjadi dambaan para pelajar di seantero dunia. Tempat-tempat yang sangat ingin ku kunjungi :




Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester

Stadion kebanggaan warga Manchester, tempat bertandingnya klub elite Manchester United. Banyak pemain kelas dunia lahir dari stadion ini.
Klub ini adalah klub favoritku sejak kecil, sejak pertama hobi menonton bola, aku ingin menginjakkan kaki disana, merasakan rumput lapangan yang telah menjalani berbagai laga penting dan prestius.


Oxford University, London

Universitas legendaris di tanah Britania, tempat lahirnya banyak ilmuwan yang telah menciptakan berbagai terobosan baru guna menunjang kemajuan dunia. Kurasa semua mahasiswa ingin menuntut ilmu disana bila ada kesempatan, dan aku bertekad untuk belajar disana, entah jenjang s2, S3, atau setidaknya bertemu dengan ilmuwan-ilmuwan dunia disana.
