Chicken Rice Soup Ala Manila

Have you ever read or watched twilight saga? If you ever watched it, you must be familiar with Forks, the place where Bella lives with her dad Charlie. Its always raining there and i love rainy season. Because its so peacefull and cool :D

Well in the season like that, the perfect dish that we can eat is like something with the soup. Chicken soup, cream soup or whatsoever. Here i will share about chicken rice soup ala Manila. My bro was the one who cook it and he got the recipe from TLC cooking program: The World Cafe Asia with Bobby Chinn.

Here I give you the recipe!

- white rice 250 g
- half of chicken (500 g)
- 1 spoonfull of margarine
- 3 garlics
- 1 ginger (finger size)
- 2 teaspoons of fish sauce
- salt and peppers.
- water 1 litre
- 3 spring onions.

How to make?

- Crush the garlics and ginger. Heat the margarine on the pan and saute the crushed garlic and ginger.
- Put the chicken (slice it as you want it) and add the rice. Stir evenly and pour the water.
- Add some salt and papper.
- Cook over medium heat.
- If you want more soup, you can add more water.
- Cook about 30 minutes.
- DONE!

Its a yummy dish with a lil taste of ginger. I recommend you to cook it when you get cold coz it will make u warm. Trust me its delicious :D

We serve the dish with spring onion and a bit of chili powder made by mom. Well the chili powder maybe a bit different with the one that you can find in store because my mom's made is so HOT!! It made from the chilies that has been dried under the sun then we oven it. FYI, we sell this homemade product. The brand is same as my name, "abon cabe NADIA" (NADIA Chili Powder) :D haha.

Okay, a bit of promotion in my own page. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) 

It's realy good dish i like it so much! You should try it coz its easy and Yoom Meeh! Happy Cooking! :D

Choco Pancakes :D

Every Saturday, me and my beloved cozin have a habit to dine out. Well not a lux fine dining but we only have a dinner in night market near our house. A bowl of Mie Ayam (Chicken Noodles) and a glass of cheap soda and cheap ice cream as the dessert always be our favorite meal! Haha. Well this saturday, before we went out for dinner, me and my cozin, Amanda, got an idea to make a pancake. She got the recipe from the magz but please note it that DO NOT TRUST MAGAZINE TOO MUCH! especially a teenage magazine. They put a good looking food pictures with a so-so recipe. Yeah i know i am not en expert too, but please help us to make a good dish, with a real ingredients not the instant one! Huff, i will trust my mom and cook book forever rather than magz. 

So, here is the simple recipe, I got it from mom's cookbook, so much better than magazine (Kuyper, Ben J, 50 Pancake Recipes, 1966 London: Lutterworth Press)

- 300 g flour

- 15 g yeast (u may use baking powder but for me yeast is better)

- 150 ml warm milk

- 3 eggs

- 100 g sugar

- pinch of salt

- 45 g butter

- Cocoa Powder

- extra butter for frying.

- additional stuffs for garnish like icing sugar, strawberry jam, choco chips, maple syrup etc.

How to make?

- Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk.

- Sift the flour into a big bowl and make a hole in the center. Then put the milk mixture in the hollow.

- Knead together until u have a smooth, elastic dough. Cover it with a cloth and put in a warm place to rise.

- Whisk the eggs and sugar together. Then add the salt, melted butter and kokoa powder ( i add kokoa coz i wanna make a choco pancake). Mix the dough with this and knead thoroughly.

-  Roll out on a floured board, and cut out round cakes with the rim of a drinking glass. After you cut it then leave it to rise again for a short time.
- Fry the dough in a pan with a plenty of butter or margarine.
- Finishing touch: sprinkle it with icing sugar or add choco sauce or strawberry jam or fruit sauce or vanilla ice cream or choco chips etc :D

Yoom meeh! Its easy right! As easy as cooking instant noodle haha :P Well, maybe in USA or other countries, they eat pancake for breakfast. But here, in my beloved country pancake can be enjoy anytime we want. Like last saturday, me and my cozin ate it in the afternoon with a cup of hot black tea :D Oh yeah, here's the pic that we took, but please remember the pancake on the pic used the recipe from magazine, so it will a bit different with the one that i make from my book, but still its delicioso!

We used Nestle chocochips so its easy to melt with sauce made by Collata white chocolate. Perfect snack in the afternoon :D hhaha, oh yea, we made another shape inspired by Amanda's new cute pig spatula from Ace Hardware!

Look like a pig isn't it? hehe. Maybe i will make another shape later. Well thanks for reading and have a great Sunday!

Another Abstract Food : Orange Pulpy Duck!

Have you ever feel like wanna be a great chef after watch some cooking program in TLC or Star World? I ever feel it, even i always wanna be one of my favorite celebrity chef like Gordon Ramsay or Jamie Oliver :D Well, my limitation in cooking skill sometimes makes me want to make a spectacular meal. As usual, with the ingredients that i can only find in my fridge or pantry, i make something. Realy something! haha.

For example, last Eid Mubaraq or last September, i created a new dish. I mean a new dish for me. Coz i never eat it before but i ever saw some recipes or watched some tv programs that use similar ingridients with me. yea! This food is contain with orange pulpy and duck meat! I got the duck meat from my mom's opor ayam or Coconut Chicken Curry in english :D  (Traditional dish that commonly eaten during the Big day like Eid Mubaraq).

Its like a recycle food because i use the material from the food that already cooked and my 'creative' brain wanted me to create a new dish with it :D Well, i washed two pieces of meat with a boiling water to take out the taste of opor (but still the taste of the opor still exist). Then i chopped chopped the other ingredients such as:

- 2 garlics

- Half of onions.

- Some chillies.

- Orange Juice 

- Orange pulpy (i got the oranges from my fridge, i donno whats the type)

- salt, peppers, sugar and OREGANO (yeah! i love oregano for the rest of my life)

How to make?

- Heat the pan and add 2 spoons of cooking oil or margarine. Saute the garlics, onion, and chillies.

- Add the pulpy into the pan, saute briefly. Then add the duck!

- Add some salt, sugar, pappers, and oregano according to your taste.

- Then add the orange juice! ( maybe 3 spoon or more ) Wait until the juice seep into the meat.

- DONE!

Okay, I am so sorry for this abstract techniques or somethin, you know its no-rules-cooking so i just do whatever i want ( Maybe i should take a culinary school to improve my skill later :P)

I eat this dish with rice, scramble egg, fresh apple slices and fried onions. i also add mayonaise, chilli sauce and ketchup. Hahaha i laughed so hard when i saw my new creation! Coz its look so weird and I am sure noone in my house who will taste it but me :P But for me, this Orange pulpy duck taste awesome! At least i didn't burn anythin here! Well just sharing! I dont recommend you to  cook it but if u wanna make sumthin abstrack, tis one is a good one to be try :D chopped chopped! 

Evening Snack :D

Well, its not about a real snack like oreo or sumethin, but its more like a food that i eat everytime i get hungry in the evening. Especially when i have to stay up late to write some assignments or papers or even just to watch my favorite movie in the late night. I choose noodle for it! and Indomie is my favorite one :)

Instant noodles for me is a lifesaver for hungry people who need food. Instant noodles are also commonly given to the refugees of natural disasters as a practical food aid. There was no denying the food is indeed very useful, although it is not good if consumed too often. So, eat instant noodles at the most appropriate because it is not advisable to eat instant noodles every day!

There are a few tips that make you less guilty when you eat instant noodles. First, you have to add lots of vegetables. Usually I mix different kinds of vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, kale, onions, leeks, mustard greens, cabbage and others. Do not forget the chili. This will give few vitamins. In addition, we can also add some spices to give flavor variations and of course egg as a protein :)

This is the instant noodles with vegetables, and also sprinkled a little bit oregano. I've said before, i don't know why I love the oregano: D haha. Delicious evening snack, isn't it? :)

Besides Indomie, i also love Ramyun from Nong Shim. This is an instant noodle in Korean style. So, the texture and the taste is different from Indomie, our local product. Nongshim has a varieties of flavor. My favorite one is Kimchi Ramyun :D yoom yoom, its perfect for the evening snack or a good food for rainy season or even winter? haha. Well I WOVE instant noodles so much.

Unfortunately this is not healthy foods, so it can not be eaten as often as I want. Meeeh :'(

English High Tea Reception

December is the last month of the year and I always love it because december is identical with winter :) Yes! Winter is a pretty cute season. I wish i could touch the snow and feel the winter breeze someday in London. Coz London is a beautiful place for me :) Well talking about London, Last weekend i got an invitation from British Council to attend some events. One of them is English High Tea Reception. 

Long ago, in 1700's, Lady Bedford was bored waiting for dinner time that very late. That's why, amid the emptiness awaiting the dinner hour, Lady Bedford held afternoon tea to cope with boredom. Afternoon tea is usually held at 5 pm in the presence of friends or colleagues. Some foods such as sandwiches, pies and toast and jam is served. The difference with the high tea is the food. Such as eggs, meat, cheese, bread and butter, cake and of course tea. Usually high tea served by working-class family as the dinner.

In this event, they present a nice tea with some sort of British dessert. Those are Oatmeal Raisin Scone (Served with jam & cream), Traditional English Fruit Cake, Shortbread Cookies, and Onion & Leeks Quiche.

For tea, they serve from Twinings Lady Grey Tea. This tea is a blend of black tea with bergamot oil and orange peel. I do not add sugar because I feel this good tea requires no additional sugar or milk in order to feel the pleasure.

Tea sets th used is also not an ordinary tea set. They wear Royal Doulton tea ware, which is also used by the royal family. Made from a mixture of materials such as porcelain, animal bone, and also 22 carat gold. The material is made ​​all the beautiful tea ware. Motifs used are Royal Albert Old Country Roses which is the world's best selling pattern.

A very pleasant experience for me to attend this event. Considering I've never been to England and did not know much of their unique traditions. An honor for me to be invited to the event is very beautiful, with a very elegant tea set. By the way, the price of Royal Doulton Tea set can reach 250 pounds per set. So it's very fun to wear expensive cup for ordinary people like me.

I got a plate from Royal Doulton and I can paint anything I want. Well, I'm not a reliable painter, so I just painted flowers like a child. haha:) Besides, I also got a small box of Twinnings tea as souvenirs. Aww I am very happy! I hope I can follow other events on the British. Thank you very much for the British Council, Royal Doulton, and Twinings: D

Original Pho and Mom's Old Cook Book

Last week, when i have nothing to do at home (coz i only have one class session in a week) so, i decided to read the cook book rather than read the material for my thesis haha :P Well, there are a bunch of  cooking books in the shelf, some of european stuffs, some indonesian, and this one is i like the most. Because its ASIA. I found lotsa good recipes here, and i am so proud that indonesia stuffs are a lot. 

I remember my brother ever asked my mom to make Vietnam's Pho. Honestly i never eat this dish before, but i know the taste will be a bit sour. Mom ever asked me to search in google coz she's a bit forgot about the recipe that she learned in Vietnam Embassy. So i watched youtube and googling but i need a cooking book to make it sure. So i grab this book and went to the vietnam section. Pho is a noodle with meat soup. This book gave me a super easy directions. Pho is simple even for a girl who never taste and cook it before.

Here's the recipe that written in The Complete Asia Cook Book by Charmaine Solomon (1977:Lansdowne Press) :

PHO (Beef Soup with Salad)

3 Kg beef rib bones
500 g gravy beef
2 onions, slice
fresh ginger (thumb size)
stick of cinamon
1 teaspoon of black peppercorn
salt
500 g fresh rice noodles or 250 g dried rice noodles
500 g fresh bean sprouts
6 sping onions
4 firm ripe tomatoes
2 white onions
500 g rump steak
fish sauce
lemon wedges
fresh red or green chillies (chopped)
fresh corriander leaves (chopped)

How to make?

(the soup)

Put the bones and gravy beef in a very large pan, add cold water to cover, sliced onions, scrapped and sliced ginger, cinamon stick, peppercorn. Boil it with a very low heat. Cover and simmer for at least 6hours (i boiled it less than 6 but its already good though) . Dont forget to add salt as you want to taste.

How to prepare?

Make sure u already soaked or poured the rice noodle or noodle in a boiling water. In here i used the noodle for kwetiaw (wider and bigger one than regular noodle) look out bellow. I found tis image from another good page :) thanks!

(left to right on my dining table: kwetiaw, a pack of bean sprout+chopped spring onions+basil leaves, lemon,chillies, and tomatoes)

Put the noodles in the large soup bowl with a ladle of bean sprout. Also a few slices of beef, tomato, and onion in  a large laddle, immerse in the boiling stock until beef begin to lose its redness. Beef should be pale pink. Pour contents of the ladle over teh noodles and bean sprout. Guests add fish sauce ( I used oyster sauce coz i run out the fish sauce and its taste good) lemon juice, chillies and fresh corriander (i used basil or kemangi coz my mom forgot to buy it haha, its same)

Nyoom meeeh! Its savory.. A bit of sour, hot, and yoom yoom :D Oh yeah, if fresh chilli is just too hot for you, u can add chilli sauce in the bottle as subtitute. I thought that it will be failed but guess what? My brother said its like a real pho! Yeay! An abstrack chef can cook a good pho with original taste :) You guys have to try it sometimes! 

Stinky-Bean Sandwich

Happy Eid Adha 1432 H! Well a late greeting but there's nothing too late right? hehe~ Idul adha kali ini di depan rumah saya ada yang berbeda. Its almost 2 week i have to deal with the stinky goats and cows but its cool. Because the end of the period i can eat those meat XD haha. Seperti biasa, mama masak makanan-makanan sakral hari besar. Opor dan teman-temannya memang enak, cuma kalau makan santan berlebih terkadang kita bosan juga, kolesterol bisa naik. Ditengah kejenuhan saya, terlintas lah untuk membuat makanan baru. Well, mungkin tidak bisa disebut dengan makanan karena tidak memenuhi kriteria, jadi kita sebut saja cemilan.

Cemilan ini dibuat dari roti tawar yang diisi dengan isian istimewa. Guess what is it??? Its a stinky bean a.k.a PETE a.k.a  Parkia Spiosa. Setiap hari besar, mama selalu membuat sambal pete udang. Its realy delicious coz prawn is good and PETE is awesome! Its always be my favorite dish on Eid Mubaraq! Karena ketertarikan itulah saya yang agak mulai jenuh dengan opor mengambil inisiatif untuk memepersatukan roti dengan sambal udang pete. Hasilnya? not bad! Kalau memang suka pete, pasti kalian suka ini. I forgot to capture this holy sandwich coz i'm just too bussy with my own creation haha :P Mungkin agak aneh, dan mungkin anda bilang saya norak, tapi saya tidak peduli. Karena Roti isi sambal udang pete dapat membuat mood saya kembali baik setelah dijenuhkan dengan ayam opor dan makanan bersantan lainnya :-)

Fettucini look like Indomie

Hello October! Menurut ramalan cuaca, bulan oktober akan di guyur hujan loh XD asik lah, saya paling seneng kalo musim ujan, habisnya laper mulu, jadi masak-masak abstrak mulu. Hehehe, anyway, Kemarin saya baru kerumah sepupu saya, yang mana adalah 'masterchef' gadungan juga seperti saya :D Biasanya kita suka main masak-masakan, kalo lagi ga ada kerjaan. Masakan yang gampang dan semua orang pasti udah bisa masaknya (standart banget) hehe, Tapi tetep enak kok walau pakai bahan yang biasa. Enak ga harus dari bahan-bahan high quality yang mahal kan even though emang harga ga bisa bohong hehe :D

Waktu itu saya dan sepupu (sebut saja dia A) iseng-iseng bikin fetucini. Alesannya karena males ke pizza hut jadi marilah kita bikin aja homemade fetucini. Karena emang ga terlalu niat bikin awalnya jadi bahan2 ga semua ada, kita pakai pasta sisa-sisa yang ada di dapur (macam2 pasta kaya macaroni, sphagety, semuakita campur dan rebus jadi satu). Setengah bawang bombay cincang kita tumis pakai margarine sampai harum, lalu kita kasih tepung, susu, keju, garam, gula, dan merica (takaran sesuka hati :P) terakhir masukin smoke beef deh (atau apa aja lah yang ada dikulkas haha). Si mbak A ini bilang harusnya pake cream, tapi buat saya sih ga perlu lah ya, toh cuma buat dimakan sendiri ini bukan untuk di sajikan ke orang lain haha :) Setelah selesai hasilnya jadi seperti :

Looks like Indomie, isn't it? hahha, pas baru mateng saya dan A rada heran kenapa kok jadi mirip indomie bentuknya. Tapi sih yang penting enak dan ini yang ga pakai cream saja sudah creammy banget rasanya (soalnya kita pakai susu dan keju banyak banget) bisa buat 2 kali makan untuk 2 orang. Fetucini ini buat saya dan si A jadi lebih mirip seperti cemilan disaat bosan rather than main course haha. See? Masak ga harus mahal kan, sisa bahan makanan yang ada di dapur pun bisa jadi masakan enak, asal pinter-pinter aja ngakalinnya :) Keep on cooking with no rules, Ciao!

Hello Potato!

Selamat hari Minggu :) Rencana hari ini sebenarnya mau bikin takoyaki, cumaaaaa....... MALAS! haha. Oiya Mulai dari kemarin saya puasa makan nasi soalnya saya ngerasa nasi agak terlalu mengenyangkan. Jadi makan banyak ataupun sedikit tetap ga enak buat perut saya. Akhirnya dari usul teman, saya coba makan kentang untung menggantikan nasi. Hasilnya oke juga.. Kenyangnya light banget ga seperti kalo kenyang makan nasi. Dan saya jadi ga cepet lapar juga. Selain kentang, teman saya juga nyaranin jagung, dan oatmeal buat menggantikan nasi, tapi saya ga suka oatmeal haha. Kalau tante saya nganjurin beras merah yang mana saya kayanya juga kurang suka ya.. Jadilah pilihan jatuh kepada KENTANG.

 Trial ga makan nasi saya mulai dengan bikin mashed potato aja, sama potato carbonara(ala saya sendiri) Gampang lah ya bikinnya.. cuma bawang bombay ditumis pakai margarine terus dikasih tepung dan susu. Tambahin lada, gula, dan garam. Lalu keju sama oregano deh :) jadilah deh :) 

 (agak ga jelas ya gambarnya.. oiya saya juga nambahin chicken wings sama acar)

Hari ini untuk brunch, saya buat kentang dan sayur brokoli wortel. Kentang saya rebus aja, terus sayur saya tumis pake bawang putih dan bawang bombay, lalu tambahin gula, garam, dan lada sama oregano  (entah kenapa saya suka banget nambahin oregano kalo masak, even masak indomie pun suka pakai oregano). Sudah deh jadi buat brunch. Kenyangnya OK, ga cepet lapar pula saya. Yuk mari yang mau nyoba mengganti nasi. 

       (tambahin sambel sama martabak bikinan mama sisa semalem)

Hahaha.. Mungkin besok-besok saya mau bikin yang agak aneh biar ga bosan makan kentang. Rencananya kalau sudah agak biasa ga makan nasi, saya mau sekalian ga makan kentang juga. Cuma liat nanti aja deh ya.. Everything need some processes. Selamat makan! Have a good Sunday !

Sushi : From failure trial to be better.

Like i said before in my previous post, saya dan teman SMA (yang juga sahabat saya dari kelas 4 SD) mengisi waktu luang dengan 'memasak'. Dari iseng2 dengan bahan seadanya, sampai pakai furikare dan nori khusus :D

Pertama kali bikin sushi, kita ga pakai tikar bambu yang biasa buat gulung sushi, tapi pakai cetakan plastik panjang (banyak di jual di online shop khusus bento). Bahannya juga seadanya. Apapun yang ada dikulkas ya di keluarin aja :D Kita pakai seaweed yang tipis, Tuna in can, mayonaise, wortel, ketimun, dan telur. Nasi juga pakai beras biasa (tapi ditambah ketan sedikit sama minyak wijen buat seasoningnya). Modal nekat deh pokoknya :D Setelah nasi matang, langsung deh kita cetak-cetak di cetakan plastik,  taruh nori, dan nasi, susun wortel sama ketimun dan tuna, tambahin mayonaise, cetak deh! Dan hasil nya :

Lalalalaalal.... Ya silahkan dicoba :P Karena agak desperate jadi kita tambahin salah wortel dan jagung juga tamago dan telur rebus. Tamago (telur dadar tapi agak manis) nya sih okay. Rasanya seperti tamago (yaiyalah rasa tamago, masa rasa jengkol) hehe:) Tapi telurnya agak failure. Padahal udah pake Egg Mold (yang banyak juga dijual di toko2jepang). Sudah dicetak lucu2 tapi beberapa puluh menit kemudian kembali lagi menjadi telur yang polos -___-  Hahaha.. But after all, ini lumayan enak :)

Setelah first trial yang agak failure, kita coba lagi sushi untuk yang ke 2 kali. Bumbu nya lengkap. Saya pakai bahan-bahan sushi dari om: 

Nasi:

Furikake (bumbu untuk nasi rasanya macam-macam, dijual di supermarket)

3 gelas Beras biasa , Beras ketan (1:1/3) <-------- kita ga pakai beras jepang, karena prinsip kita tak ada rotan akarpun jadi :P

Sushi-Zhu :

1/3 gelas rice vinegar, Minyak wijen, 2 sdm gula dan 1sdt garam -----> dipanaskan diatas panci.

Tamago:

4butir telur, gula, kecap jepang. -----> telur dikocok dengn gula dan kecap, lalu didadar..

How to make?

Its easy! Saya yakin sudah banyak juga yang kasih tutorial untuk bikin sushi. Setelah nasi matang kita  beri  sedikit demi sedikit sushi-zu lalu ditaburin  furikare, aduk sampai tercampur semua.

Sebar nasi diatas nori yang ditaruh diatas tikar bambu. Tekan2 nasi sampai rata. Setelah itu taruh isi dari sushi  dibagian tengah (waktu itu kami pakai chicken stick goreng, ketimun dan tamago, maklum mahasiswa ga bisa beli salmon dkk ehehe :P )Tambahin juga mayonaise biar yum yum (Mayo sekarang sudah ada yang campur wasabi, jadi variasi mayo sesuai selera yang bikin aja ehehe ). Setelah itu gulung sushi dan remas2 (First roll biasanya masih berantakan tapi setelah nya pasti rapi deh gulungannya :D)

Setelah jadi roll, tinggal kita potong aja deh :) selesai lalalalalala...... Dan hasil percobaan ke 2 kami : BERHASIL!!!! YEAY!!!

Chicken stick sushi :P Rasanya? Yahh lumayanlah ya, nasi nya sudah enak, jadi kalau diisi apapun akan enak juga.. Setalah percobaan yang ke 2 saya jadi sering banget bikin sushi, the latest one is : Avocado Crab sushi. Bahan2nya sama cuma beda isi aja :) Saking semangatnya bikin sushi, masak nasinya kebanyakan, sampai jadi 11 rolls. Padahal yang makan cuma 5 orang hahaha.

Ya mungkin ga akan seenak kalo Om yang bikin, cuma lumayanlah untuk seorang mahasiswa abstrak yang iseng2 bikin makanan dengan bahan yang seadanya (dan mungkin ada yang hampir kadaluarsa) haha. Intinya kalo mau bikin sesuatu harus yakin kalo makanannya akan enak, at least buat yang masak. Kalo orang lain bilang ga enak yaudah biarin aja :P Different person different tounge different satisfication :) Keep on cooking!

Shoo-she!

Ngomong-ngomong tentang sushi, siapa sih yang ga suka sama sushi jaman sekarang? Mungkin ada sebagian orang yang agak terganggu sama yang mentah-mentah, tapi banyak juga yang sangat suka sushi terlepas dari memang suka beneran ataupun terhanyut arus globalisasi :P ahaha. Saya jadi ingat pertama kali mencoba sushi yaitu saat kelas 3 SD di pernikahan om saya yang mana adalah seorang profesional sushi chef :D Om saya membuat sushi dengan teman-temannya dan pada saat itu (sekitar tahun 97 atau 98) sushi belum terlalu booming. Mungkin masih terlihat antik kalau disuatu resepsi disediakan sushi. Apalagi ga semua orang mau makan yang mentah. Mama saya tidak pernah memperbolehkan saya untuk tidak suka dengan suatu makanan. Jadi, saya pun tidak takut untuk mencoba apapun yang menurut saya baru, bahkan untuk sebuah sashimi.

              (Sushi bikinan Om, looks sooo yummmy *drooling*)

Sejak pertama kali mencoba, sushi menjadi one of my favorite dish ever. Papa saya sering kali membelikan saya sushi, sampai suatu suatu saat Om saya memberikan bahan-bahan untuk sushi yang agak jarang ada di supermarket biasa (tapi sekarang sudah banyak dimana-mana). Agak lama bahan-bahan itu numpuk di pantry sampai timbul hasrat untuk membuat sushi ketika teman saya (yang suka masak-masakan juga) berinisiatif untuk bikin sushi. Dan hasilnya..... Tralalalallaa :D 'SUPER AWESOME'. This is what i called cooking with no rules :P  just cook! Penampilan nomer 2, yang penting jadi 'sushi' dan rasanya enak. At least untuk yang masak walaupun yang lain bilang ga terlalu oke :P hahaha

I am not a Pro Chef

Hallo ! Ini post pertama saya di blog saya yang baru. I never imagine to own a blog about food stuffs coz seems lotsa people have it. But lemme introduce my blog. Ini campuran dari berbagai macam pemikiran saya :P Mungkin saya tidak merekomendasikan tempat-tempat makan seperti yang orang lain sudah banyak lakukan. Tapi saya akan mencampurkan ide 'kreatif' saya dalam memasak, Well just like my blog's name, my motto is almost sama : 'cook with no rules, use your creativity'. 

Jujur saja, saya bukanlah ahli masak, tapi saya senang memasak dengan gaya saya sendiri. Saya tidak peduli apakah hasil akhirnya akan berhasil atau tidak. Yang terpenting adalah bagaimana caranya meluapkan desire saya melalui masak. Saya tidak merekomendasikan anda untuk mencoba resep-resep masakan yang saya buat nanti karena hampir 100% itu adalah selera saya :P hahaha tapi saya juga akan share beberapa masakan yang 'berhasil' saya buat dengan sukses, dengan resep dari mama saya (yang mana adalah seorang ahli tata boga) dengan bahan dan cara pembuatan yang sesimple-simple nya karena saya adalah Miss simple. 

Open the fridge, grab some stuffs, and cook with your own way. That's it! 

Saya yakin ada ribuan blogger yang sudah profesional soal memasak, but lemme share my own experiences with you all :) Hope i can be one of you who already professional in culinary stuffs :)
