ALL IN ONE

To describe, chewy savory tapioca snack balls, usually filled with cheese, beef floss, sliced hotdog, quail egg and traditionally filled with beef fat. Cilok , it's a popular street food snack in Bandung and can be found in most of cities in West Java. The common condiment for cilok is peanut sauce and spicy sambal . I made my own version of peanut sauce using peanut butter instead of ground peanuts, turned out pretty good.  It took a while for me, I've made cilok several times but I think this ratio is just right to my palate, chewy... if you like it soft then you can use less tapioca and more all purpose flour. It must be served hot otherwise it will be hard and of course not good. If you're too lazy to make peanut sauce, dip it into Japanese roasted sesame dressing, it works! Ingredients : 1-2 cloves garlic 300 ml water or beef broth 1 cup all purpose flour 1 cup tapioca flour (sagu tani) 1 tsp beef bouillon powder 1/4 cup sliced green onion salt to taste water for boi

First attempt making Kapsalon , well sounds weird, bu it's a really good dish. I've tried once and later Kevin's aunt that lives in Netherland introduced us this dish (yes, it's Dutch food). Layer of french fries, meat, garlic sauce, cheese, and salad, definitely all I want in one dish. I used tater tots instead of french fries but turned out pretty nice, garlic sauce is an important ingredients along with cheese. If you can't find garlic sauce then use creamy dressing such as thousand island, creamy ranch dressing, or even blue cheese (for even adventurous flavor). Feel free to skip the sauteed veggies but salad is a must.  Ingredients : 3 cups french fries / tater tots, fried 1-2 cups salad of your choice (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, peppers, onion) 1/2 cup your favorite creamy salad dressing Meat : 200 gr ground beef 1/2 medium onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce 1 tbsp sugar 1/2 tsp paprika powder 1 tbsp cooking

A humble place to eat yamin noodle and Chinese Food in Bandung, generous portion, various side dishes, and lots of condiments. Best - (based on my personal preference) Kalau di Jakarta biasanya makan bakmi kalo di Bandung yang wajib itu yamin dan mie rica, ada beberapa versi memang, dan pasti masing-masing orang punya tempat favoritnya sendiri. Nah, aku memang sempat kuliah di Bandung dan sudah gak aneh dengan yamin, sekian lama akhirnya pilihan jatuh disini, Mie Naripan 127 , beda ya dengan yang satu lagi itu bukan cabangnya. Lokasinya di jalan Paledang, agak sempit dan susah cari parkir di weekend tapi beneran wajib banget dicoba kalau kamu memang suka mie. Mie Yamin / Rica Manis Kering dengan Pangsit, selalu jadi andalan, porsinya super besar, biarpun aku makannya banyak tapi gak sanggup deh, paling gak untuk berdua. Sekian kali datang kesini rasanya gak berubah, masih tetap enak, suka banget dengan bumbu mie-nya karena bumbunya terasa banget, gurih, dan gak seperti di tempat lain y

Never been a big fan of omelette but it's just really good and I bet you'll like it too. Palembang famous for its pempek, and also lenggang. Sliced pempek lenjer and beaten egg, served with cuko, sweet sour garlicky and spicy, definitely my kind of meal. There are two version, lenggang panggang and lenggang goreng , both are delicious. Added mine with some extra green onion, turned out pretty nice. Ingredients : 1 cup pempek lenjer, sliced 2 eggs 1 green onion, thinly sliced 2 tbsp cooking oil salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup cuko pempek diced cucumber as needed Find me on: Youtube  and  Instagram   @heytheresia  for daily food and travel updates

OK it's been a while since my last blog post. I've heard the talk about this pop-up yogurt studio (sounds cool already) named Yoforia . They have their very first pop-up at Paris Van Java, Bandung. To me, it's the hippest mall in the city though nothing much to do but shopping. First, what makes Yoforia special? We'll talk about their creation later. It's the design, packaging, simple, and yes Insta-genic. Nothing much on the menu, there's no fulfilling food but light bites such as chicken wings, potatoes, with yogurt base sauce. Then the special one, Yogurt Coffee. Using yogurt instead of milk, he got Kuro Yofocinno , espresso - yogurt drink, I must say it's very interesting, a bit sour, bitter, and sweet. Feels like drinking yogurt anyway, not coffee. For me, it's  Berry Smooth , light and fresh, not too sweet to my palate, great job!! I know that it's gonna be the one to order again on my next visit. The idea is just amazing, something new for our

So many things to do, so little time. Missing South Korea so bad, so I decided to make this simple yet hearty Eomukguk. The key is the broth, reminds me back in Seoul, there's a place close to CGV Myeongdong, a street food stall, they have amazing Eomukguk. I saw the Ahjussi added so many things into the broth, from green onion to dried chili. I think you can really explore the ingredients for the tasty broth. My version is very basic, I think it would be great with some clams for extra flavor Ingredients: 700 ml water 3-4 Eomuk / fish cakes, any shape 1-2 beef / chicken hotdogs, sliced 2 cloves garlic 1/2 onion, sliced 1/2 daikon radish, sliced 1 green onion, sliced 1 tsp dashi kelp, I used granulated kelp around 1 tsp 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tsp sugar salt to taste The Dipping Sauce : 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tbsp hot pepper / chili powder 1 green chili, chopped (optional) 2 tbsp sliced green onion 1 tbsp sugar 1/4 cup soy sauce 1 tbsp sesame oil Watch the video for directions Find me

This is definitely not an authentic Korean dish, but let's say fusion. Inspired by places that serve cheese tteokbokki . I personally prefer the original tteokbokki with gochujang as the base for the sauce, but it's worth to try though. When it comes to white sauce and cheese, please use good cheese because it matters, try sharp cheddar, parmesan, swiss, emmental, and mozzarella for stringy texture on top. This weekend my sister brought me some  Butterkäse (my favorite cheese from Germany, along with Asiago cheese from Italy), so I used it instead of mozzarella. It's not that hard to find rice cakes ( garaetteok ) here in Jakarta, usually in Korean Grocery Stores, such as Mu Gung Hwa. I also found some at larger supermarket, Grand Lucky SCBD, even Lottemart in Gandaria City made the fresh one. Ingredients : 1 cup rice cakes / garaetteok 1 clove garlic, minced 1/4 onion, sliced 1 tbsp all purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 beef / chicken hotdog, sliced 2-3 slices bacon  or beef ba
