Resep: Homemade Thai Iced Tea with Boba (Taiwanese Pearl) Recipe



Firstly, I know some of you asking about how did I get boba? Online store, very easy. The good one should be more expensive, I got mine around IDR 200k for 2 kilos, that's a lot. You won't need that much. Cook it on high heat, usually take me about 20 minutes. When it's done, drain from excess water, add in some simple syrup. Make your own syrup by heating 1:1 ratio of sugar and water.

Second, Thai tea mix. I'm using this brand that I got from Grand Lucky supermarket. It's not an instant Thai tea mix, so you need to brew your own tea by adding it into boiling water, then strain using a strainer. 



It's not hard but it will take few times, cooking the boba, brewing tea, and making simple syrup. Fresh milk is one that I do recommend instead of using condense milk though you don't have to make simple syrup if you're using condense milk as it's already sweetened. I don't really drink milk, and I definitely hate condense milk, but those are not the reasons. Condense milk has a typical aroma which just fine but here we want to bring up the genuine Thai tea aroma so better with fresh milk. 

Ingredients:
  • Thai tea mix
  • fresh milk or soymilk
  • simple syrup
  • some water
  • some ice
  • cooked boba
Tips: Fill in the glass with ice because super cold Thai tea is best. I won't give specific measurement because everyone has their own preference. I personally like mine with soymilk, with stronger tea flavor, and less sweet, how about you?

Resep: Salmon Mentai Rice | Beef Shirataki Mentai

Image
It's delicious but really I could not finish one portion, yes thank's to the amount of mayo. So, let's just share.  Mentai Rice , it's actually very easy to make as long as you have kitchen blow torch or use the oven to broil the mentaiko sauce. The sauce itself is made from mayonaise, preferably Japanese mayo like Kewpie and mentaiko (pollock roe / cod roe). If it's hard to find then simply replace it with tobiko (flying fish roe). Please do not skip the fish roe. Anyway, I bought the mentaiko from Tokopedia around IDR 270k for 500 grams, that's a lot, I know. Alternatively, take a look at Papaya Supermarket or other big supermarket as mentaiko is kinda hard to find here. I made 3 dishes with this Mentai sauce, the first one is the one with crabstick served with rice that mixed with nori powder, you can also use furikake. The second is nori rice with salmon aburi. Lastly, sweet and savory beef with garlic butter shirataki noodles. Well, the last one is definite

Resep: Savory Waffle (Pepperoni + Cheddar Cheese) Resep

Image
I've made waffle many times, and I prefer of light and crispy waffle to bread-like waffle. Adding some tapioca flour gives a quite significant result, also separating the egg though mostly I skipped that phase. Anyway, waffles are great with syrup, chocolate, fruits, and ice cream but have you ever tried savory waffle? With bacon, smoked chicken, sausage, cheese, or pepperoni. Freshly made waffles are best, when making waffles make sure that you have all the toppings ready on the table.  Ingredients : 1.5 cup all purpose flour 1 cup tapioca flour 2 eggs 1/2 cup plain yogurt 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp baking soda 1 cup milk 1/4 cup melted butter 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup pepperoni, sliced 1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced 1/4 cup red cheddar cheese, grated salt to taste few tbsp of water, if needed Directions : For the dry mixture, add flour, tapioca, salt, baking soda, and baking powder into a bowl, mix well. In another bowl combine egg, yogurt, melted butter, oil, and milk. Co

Nomz Kitchen & Pastry Grand Indonesia: New Menu

Image
Ones behind Nomz, Arnold Poernomo and Pastry Chef Kim Pangestu. Famous for their sweet treats, but how's the food? At this time, I'd like to introduce some of their new menu. First let's start with something fresh, salad. I've been a fan of Nomz's Tomato Salad for quite a while, now they have two more, Middle Eastern Salad (IDR 80.000) and Fried Calamari Salad (IDR 60.000). Not for everyone, but me as one who really into greens. Calamari salad might suit to people in common, dressed with balsamic lemon, topped with fresh arugula, coriander, and shaved parmesan. My guessing it's balsamic reduction as it's sweeter than balsamic vinegar. Meanwhile, Middle Eastern Salad is actually tabbouleh, usually made using bulgur but they replaced it with quinoa , yes for superfood! Pretty healthy yet fulfill the hunger longer. Have no idea what's quinoa ? Google it, it's 2015, eat your superfood!  Move on to  Nomz Prawn Roll (IDR 105.000) garlic chili prawn, gr
