Resep: NASI GILA Recipe

Image
OK so to describe in English, it's a deconstructed Indonesian Fried Rice, instead of mixing the rice with the rest of the ingredients it's served separately. Nasi Gila served with massive amount of toppings, the other version is Nasi Goreng Gila which I think it's similar to regular Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice) but with more filling, egg, meatball, and hotdog are always included. I am #teamNasiGila instead of Nasi Goreng Gila what about you? Currently there are many places in Indonesia especially bigger city that sell Nasi Gila. Taman Menteng in Jakarta known for its Nasi Goreng Gila during night time. Give a try, make your own at home. Nasi Gila for 3-4 servings Ingredients : 5 pcs beef meatballs ( baso sapi ) 3 pcs hotdog ( sosis ) 1 cup cabbage, thinly sliced 1 cup choysum (caisim) aka green chinese cabbage 1/2 cup shredded fried chicken 2 eggs 2 green onion, thinly sliced 1/2 med onion, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 2-3 bird's eye chili (optional) 1/2 tsp white pepp

SEJIWA COFFEE BANDUNG - PROGO

Image
I spent more times in Bandung lately, doing my food video thing here. Packed - tight schedules is killing me, definitely need a break. After finishing 22 videos (yes that's a lot), we decided to go to a new coffee shop located in Jalan Progo, an area that already filled with cafes and coffee shops. Sejiwa Coffee , sounds very local though, the place is quite modern, spacious, ground for the non-smoking, upstairs for smoking. You know that I'm not a coffee person but I do drink coffee sometimes not everyday, and always go for something cold, like the Iced Creme Brulee Latte (IDR 38.000) Iced Creme Brulee Latte strawberry juice I've heard from some of my friends that the service getting worse on weekend, they waited the order for an hour but I hope it will get better. Anyway, talking about the menu, from all day breakfast to smoothie bowl, pasta to salad, we got The Megs (IDR 35.000) creamy - mayo based salad topped with feta and fried potato skin. Truffle Fries (IDR 30.00

HONU Poke & Matcha Bar - Jakarta

Image
Finally a special place for Poke in Jakarta, I think this is the start as Singapore already has several places for Poke. We're joining the hype. Poke is a typical Hawaiian dish, made from marinated (commonly) raw fish, tuna is the most popular, while vegetarian Poke is made using tofu. It goes well with salad or the famous one, with rice known as Poke Bowl. I've never had many Poke Bowl in my life but yes I've tried some and I've made it couple times. Aloha Poke in Singapore is one of them, go check out my previous post here , they have amazing Poke. To describe, Poke is simply a raw fish salad. HONU is located in Kemang, the place was quite nice, not too spacious but clean and simple. Combining Poke and Matcha, very interesting. Not many to offer on the menu, there are two options, regular and small size for the Poke Bowl. We decided to order The Skinny (IDR 50.000 / small), tuna with shoyu, salad, edamame, cucumber, seaweed, and pickled ginger, wise portion, it was

Resep: Cilok (Indonesian Chewy Snack Balls with Peanut Sauce) Recipe

Image
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

Resep: Dutch Kapsalon Recipe

Image
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
