Bakwan Jagung

This post is a contender of Tastemade Indonesia‘s post that I saw few days ago. When I saw it, I was like… “wth. they made a video tutorial of how to make bakwan jagung!” I felt that I should also disperse my own version of bakwan jagung. Sadly not in form of video, but yeah… I hope it’s good enough.

In my own definition and free translation, bakwan jagung is a savory corn fritter. Indonesians usually eat it for snacks (in between meal time) or as a side dish in meal. It also has other variant such as vegetable fritter and shrimp fritter. Basically, if you could make one type, you could also make the others.

Gudeg

My humble saturday special Indonesian breakfast.

Some of you might not know, what the heck is that on the plate. Well, it’s just rice with gudeg. As simple as that.

Food Cult: Nasi Bebek Cak Yudi, Surabaya

FYI, my iphone is dying. Sadly, even electronic has an age. So, before I deleted all the photos there, I am going to spam my blog with those photos. 😉 

These ones were taken when I went to Surabaya for my friend’s wedding in 2012. Surabaya is the scond biggest city in Indonesia. It is in the eastern part of Java Island. The most famous cuisine among others is their duck dish. This one, Indonesian all time favourite, is fried duck with jasmine rice and chilli codiment.

Cooking in Denmark: Stir fried Longbeans

This is my favourite vegetables dish. I love it so much that I cooked it the first time I arrived in Copenhagen last year.

Cooking in Spain: The Ultimate Spicy Chicken

Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do.

Cooking in Denmark: Stir fried Chayote Squash

Last week, I missed Indonesian food so much that I went to Asian market and bought Labu Siam, or in English called Chayote Squash.

 

I wanted to cook somewhat like Indonesian chayote squash curry dish which is so familiar in Indonesia but I felt that it would take so much time and effort that I decided to make stir fried spicy chayote squash instead.

Cooking in Denmark: Spicy Chicken

Everyday, when I open any social media from any gadget, I felt this churring sound in my tummy.

I am hungry.

A constant hunger for at least this coming year for any Indonesian food.

So, to fix a bit of my mood, I made this Spicy Chicken.

Cooking in Denmark: Potatoes and Vegetables

I can assure you that I can cook. Is that assuring enough for you? hahahhaa… But really I can!

Now, I am having trouble cooking because I am not familiar with the things here in Denmark. And as a microwave provided in my room, I am doing everything to maximize using it. Of course, a wonderful set of kitchen is available when my landlady and her family is not using it.

 

So, today, I bake potatoes with veggies. I am not vegetarian, but I do need to eat more vegetables since I came to live in Denmark because I dont want to get sick.

I prepared potatoes, broccoli and carrots, washed and chopped them. Sprinkled some pepper and salt. Put some chops of butter. And sliced bits of cheese. My fave, smoked cheese from witzerland!

 

Taste of Home in far away land

It’s my sixth day living in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was like my life has turned completely upside down. Everything is almost the opposite.

Mak Beng

I was on a weekend trip to Bali last month. It was a hassle preparing a trip to Bali in such a short period of time-not that it was not my fault though. hehehe.. 😀

Thankfully, I had a friend who lived there that I could BBM to ask one or two on-the-go tips, including places to visit. One of the places she mentioned was Mak Beng.

Mak Beng is a small diner nearby Sanur Beach, Bali. It is located at Jalan Hang Tuah No. 45, Sanur, but most drivers in Bali would not know addresses, apparently. The easiest way to go there is by finding drivers who know Mak Beng. Or tell the driver that it is located on Sanur Beach, 20 m from Inna Beach Hotel. Then, they would not miss it! 🙂
