ALL IN ONE

Well it's just something I make at home, many times... I love Yakult, a child hood drink that reminds me of the times when I was a little kid. It started from my habit drinking Yakult or any other yogurt drink with some ice, because I found it too sweet to my liking, plus, I love cold drinks. So, one day I made this, I prefer plain jelly as I don't want the flavor to ruin the Yakult flavor, and you sure can add some simple syrup for extra sweetness. Anyway, don't freak out if using colorful jelly... the color will fade, translucent just like plain jelly. I made this one and leave for a day in fridge, and end up with white jelly.  Ingredients: 5 bottles Yakult 2 tsp basil seeds, or chia seeds 1 cup longan or lychee, remove the syrup 1/2 cup plain jelly (unflavored), cut into cubes 3 tbsp simple syrup or to taste 1/2 cup crushed ice Watch the video for the directions

  I'm a big fan of sushi but personally not into sashimi but I love carpaccio and Poke of course, means I love raw salmon with a little or some seasoning. When it comes to poke, I usually go for salmon with plenty of sauce, and pineapple or mango.  So, if you have no idea what is actually Poke? It's Hawaiian by the way, not Japanese though yesss there are a lot of Japanese influences to Hawaiian cuisine.  Keep in mind to ONLY use sushi / sashimi grade fish, salmon and tuna are the most common, if you’re not into raw fish, vegan option, use tofu. Please use clean cutting board. I usually make fresh poke, means it’s served immediately or marinated in fridge for 30 minutes to an hour (don’t forget to wrap the bowl with plastic wrap). The Base : Cooked brown rice / red rice / sushi rice / mix greens  The Sauce : Spicy Mayo (kewpie mayo + sriracha), garlic sauce (garlic dressing) The Toppings : cucumber edamame cabbage pineapple mango lettuce seaweed green onions pickled carrot furi

This chocolate pudding is just sooo good, silky smooth, just make sure to get a good quality chocolate powder. You can also use your favorite chocolate drink powder but you surely want to adjust the sugar measurement. Instead of adding Marie Biscuits on top, I tried to put the marie biscuits crumbs into the vla mixture. Well, of course I also added an extra biscuit on top. I keep this recipe eggless but if you're into rich sauce then add an egg yolk into the vla and add some vanilla or rhum, though it's optional. Ingredients : Chocolate Silky Pudding : 550 ml milk 50 gr sugar 40 gr chocolate powder (unsweetened) 1/2 tsp jelly powder 1/2 tsp agar powder Marie Biscuits Vla : 300 ml milk 1 tbsp corn starch 20 gr sugar 5 pieces Marie Biscuits 1 tsp vanilla extract or rhum for flavor a pinch of salt Follow the directions in video Find me on: Youtube  and  Instagram   @heytheresia  for daily food and travel updates

I love Mexican food!! From taco to burrito, and of course Pico de Gallo! Once I tried making fresh salsa using Kiwi fruit, it was yum. Rather than the classic tomato salsa, I prefer fruit salsa. Mango and pineapple are just amazing for making fresh salsa. I like it as a condiment for taco, burrito, or as a dipping sauce for tortilla chips.  My version of taco, I used chicken as protein, add some cheese, veggies, and topped with fresh fruit salsa. It's just so good, the sweetness of the fruit, unique combination, fresh, and somehow addicting, well you should try and let me know if you like it too. Ingredients: tortilla red cabbage or lettuce cilantro, chopped sour cream melting cheese of your choice The chicken 300 gr chicken fillet 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp chili powder,  1/8 tsp cumin 2 tbsp cooking oil 1 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt or to taste Mango Salsa Fresca 250 gr sweet mango, diced 1/2 jalapeno, minced 2 tbsp tomato, diced small 2 tbsp onion, diced small 1 tbsp cilantro, cho

One of my favorite dish, One Pot Chicken Rice. It's super easy to make and most of the ingredients are already available in my pantry. I posted the video on my Instagram  few days ago, some asking me about mushroom bouillon, it's possible to replace it with chicken powder or any of umami seasoning of your choice.  I set the rice cooker on porridge / soup mode for the first 10 minutes to cook the marinated chicken, then add the rice, water, the rest of the seasoning, and later set standard cooking mode. Also, to complement this dish, I made a simple spicy sweet and sour sauce: 3 tsp sugar 1 tsp chili flakes 3/4 tsp salt 1 tsp rice vinegar 3 tsp water One Pot Chicken Rice Ingredients: 400 gr rice, I used short grain rice 5 chicken drums 3 cloves garlic, crushed 1 pieces (10 gr) ginger, peeled and crushed 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce (kecap inggris) 1 tsp oyster sauce 1 tsp mushroom bouillon 1 tsp salt or to taste 2 stalks green onion, sliced 350 ml water Directio

It's good on its own, but there are many things you can make using Oreo. And this is one of them, Oreo Milk Pudding. This recipe calls for tiny amount of agar and jelly powder because I like soft pudding instead of firm, but feel free to add more to your preference. Chill in fridge before serving. I asked Kevin, he said it was a little too sweet for him but my sister said it’s just enough, so.. depending on your taste, you probably want to add less, and adjust later. And about the oreo, it will taste better if you blend it, because soggy cookies is just not my liking but again.. feel free. The most important things are the milk and whipped cream powder to enchance the rich flavor. Oreo Milk Pudding For 3 servings Ingredients: 600 ml milk 80 gr sugar or depending on your preference 2-3 tbsp whipped cream powder or powdered creamer 1/4 tsp jelly powder 1/4 tsp agar powder 5-7 oreo sandwich, blend or crushed more oreo for topping Cook while stirring on low heat.

One Pot Pasta, just because it's easier and I don't need to clean up a lot. I like my pasta al dente but if you prefer tender pasta then add more water into the pot. It's good with mushroom, sausage, bacon, or even corn. Add the cream and cheese on last minute, and fresh herbs, but if using dried herbs then you want to put it along with the milk so it will release more flavor. Ingredients: 150 ml water, or more if you prefer tender pasta 200 ml milk 100 gr pasta, I used spaghetti -11 1-2 cloves garlic, minced 70 gr sweet corn 2 strips bacon, you can use sausage, smoked beef or beef bacon 2 tbsp fresh herbs, chopped, I used basil and parsley (or 1 tsp dried herbs) 80 ml cooking cream 40 gr cheese (sharp cheddar or parmesan or any of your favorite) salt and pepper to taste 1/4 tsp mushroom bouillon or chicken powder 2 tbsp cooking oil Directions : watch the video Find me on: Youtube  and  Instagram   @heytheresia  for daily food and travel updates

I spent many nights watching World Cup 2018, I got nuts, snacks, drinks, but blame this always hungry girl right here, it's like never ending story that craving for spicy / savory dish after sweet treats and it continues.. Based on what I had in fridge that night, I present Mie Goreng Nuclear , my version. So.. it's about an easy yet worth to try and I bet you'll make it over again. By the time I wrote this, I've made this noodle recipe 3 times, plus 1 that I filmed for my Youtube video. How spicy? You decide, I DO NOT recommend using fresh chili as it will change the taste. The key is the prepared sambal terasi , yes the one in jar. I guess it will also work with sambal bajak . If you can handle super spicy food then go for boncabe level 15 (not sponsored), I did. For the topping, I did with meatballs, once I tried with egg but for me I will stick with meatball or maybe sliced sausage / hotdog / spam. You may want to add more seasoning (salt and kecap manis ) when add

Honey Butter Chips or Almonds are very popular in South Korea at least for the past few years. Honestly, honey - butter sounds very interesting to me. This week I watch a video on Youtube about how to make Honey Butter Fried Chicken , it was from one of my favorite Korean Youtuber, Maangchi. So, I decided to make my own. I marinated the chicken with garlic as I prefer more flavorful taste. Double fry is a method that actually works really well for fried chicken.  For the sauce, the original recipe calls for garlic, yes it tasted great but I found that you really can skip the garlic for even richer honey and butter taste. Sugar is great for coating while the honey is just as flavoring, one of the most important part (for me) is to add some of the butter in last minute once you turned off the heat. It will add stronger butter flavor. It's great with chili sauce but I have a dipping sauce recipe that suits this fried chicken, simply mix all the ingredients, and adjust the taste to you

Mungkin dari kebanyakan kamu berpikir kalau Olive Oil identik dengan salad atau buat tumis, selain itu kira-kira bisa dipakai untuk apa aja? Nah, jenis Olive Oil sendiri ada beberapa macam, mulai dari Extra Virgin Olive Oil yang biasanya berwarna kuning kehijauan, Pure Olive Oil, dan Extra Light Olive Oil yang terlihat paling bening jika dibandingkan dengan jenis yang sebelumnya disebutkan. Biasanya Pure Olive Oil dan Extra Light Olive Oil banyak digunakan untuk baking, membuat kue, dan juga untuk menumis karena rasanya yang lebih ringan dan tidak memiliki aroma yang tajam. Yang akan aku bahas kali ini adalah Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), karena selain banyak manfaatnya jenis ini juga merupakan perasan pertama jadi sangat aman dikonsumsi bahkan untuk bayi. Selain itu, Extra Virgin Olive Oil juga memiki rasa yang khas yang biasa digunakan sebagai perasa atau flavoring untuk makanan. Mulai dari campuran untuk salad dressing, celupan (dipping) untuk roti, EVOO juga banyak digunakan sebag

It's a very simple beverage you can make for any occasion, let's say family gathering? Or just perfect for your me time. I was growing up eating Marie biscuits, especially when I got sick, I had nothing to eat, no appetite, and my mom gave me this along with hot tea. But these days, I prefer Marie biscuits on my ice cream or gelato, yes thanks to the creative gelateria in Jakarta. Once I tried Marie Biscuits Milk in a cake shop, and it gave me an idea to make this recipe. I used canned milk, to be specific it's Bear Brand (not sponsored), just because it's best for this drink, the flavor and combination with the milky Marie biscuits. I also added non-dairy creamer, topped it with freshly whipped cream and biscuit crumble. You can get the sweetness from condensed milk, but not too much, add a little simple syrup to taste. To make the simple syrup, combine one part of sugar plus one part water, bring to boil until the sugar dissolve. Once cool, keep it refrigerate. Marie

Gimmari, Deep Fried Seaweed Rolls filled with glass noodles. Chewy glass noodles wrapped with crispy seaweed, batter coated fried food is just always good. Next time if you're making tteokbokki or budae jjigae, this will be a good company, to be dipped into the sauce.  It's always good to be back in South Korea, just to find good places to eat. I wrote about 15 Must Eat Korean Food  if you want to read, well I definitely need to update it. Gimmari is actually pretty easy to find at the street food vendor in Seoul, but here in Jakarta, I haven't found it yet. So, why not making my own Gimmari. It's actually very easy to make, but it's so good. You surely can make your batter from scratch but once I tried using tempura flour, it turned really nice, light, and crispy. Double fry method is very recommended for this recipe. Ingredients: 100 gr glass noodles 30 gr tiny diced carrot 3 tbsp chives, sliced 5-7 sheets nori seaweed 1 tbsp sesame oil 1 tbsp soy sauce 160 gr te

As a big fan of potato and cheese at the same time, the combination of both is just lovely for me. So, few weeks ago I wrote a recipe for Perkedel , Indonesian style mashed potato fritters. This recipe is even better, well because I added cheese into the dough and filled with mozzarella, it's breaded, and deep fried. Can I name it Perkedel Hybrid? Well, it's really a must try recipe anyway.  There's an option to put the garlic in or not, I prefer mine without garlic. But if you want it with garlic, it will taste pretty close to  Perkedel  while I like it cheesy so better to leave the garlic. You can also replace the corned beef with chopped smoked beef. It is important to put the breaded potato balls into the fridge (approximately 15-30 minutes) before frying as you want everything stick together. Deep fry on medium low heat, until golden brown. Ingredients: 4 potatoes, boiled, peeled 50 gr corned beef 1 tbsp flour 50 gr grated cheddar cheese 100 gr mozzarella, cut into cub

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when hearing Plataran ? The Hotel, Resort, or Dining? All related to traditional Indonesian culture. There are few restaurants in Jakarta under Plataran, the newest one is Plataran Menteng . But, I'm going to explore more about Plataran Dharmawangsa . I've been there to attend an event, but at this occasion, I had whole experience from Plataran Dharmawangsa , especially the food. Plataran Dharmawangsa located in a prestige area of South Jakarta, presenting authentic Indonesian cuisine. With the 150 years old heritage Joglo house, wooden Javanese pavilions, 50 years old prayer house, beautiful garden, spacious enough to accommodate private events. The garden is my personal favorite area, and what makes it special? There are two Guineafowl or in Indonesian known as " ayam mutiara ". They're wandering around the garden, no cage, no nothing. When it gets dark, they will climb up onto the tree. Not an everyday view, but
