Ramadhan Mubarak

Happy Ramadhan for every Moeslem in this universe! May God always showering us with blesses and fortunes in this special month. Amen!

Well talking about Ramadhan, I am sure its identical with fasting. Fasting identical with Iftar and Iftar it self identical with the food. In my country Indonesia, as the biggest moeslem population in the world, its realy easy to find some dishes to break the fasting (or Iftar). There are a bunch of food sellers on the street and you may not believe it, they are sell a lot of things and it will make you totally confused to choose. But after all its fun though. By the way, what is your favorite dish in Ramadhan? I bet the answer is kolak. For you who lives outside of my country or Asia, Kolak is a dessert contain with bananas or sweet potatoes (or any other tuber crops) and palm sugar, coconut milk and pandan leaves. It is good to serve hot or cold. Yoom~ 

Well, beside the dessert, people here loves to eat some gorengan too for iftar. Gorengan meaning Fried foods. Such as bakwan, fried banana, or lumpia (Spring rolls). I captured a pic of it in the first week of Ramadhan and now is about the 3rd weeks of Ramadhan. My mom prohibit me to consume some fried things so i don't buy any kind of gorengan anymore. Its not too good for health too. So don't over consume it.

Maybe its kinda late to post some Menu for iftar because Ramadhan is almost over. Soon but i still have sometimes to share some menu that i cooked during ramadhan. Some of them are just a simple one and easy to make. Like today, i really have no idea what to cook, so i just randomly grabbed the potatoes, and cooked it into potato carbonara. Maybe you guys already know how to cook it. or i can share my carbonara version later. Well, happy ramadhan once again!

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 !
