ALL IN ONE

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

I've been a fan of this brand even before my writing about their Ricotta Cheese launching in 2015.  Mulai dari fresh milk sampai keju, aku pribadi memang suka dan pakai produk Greenfields untuk kebutuhan di rumah dan juga untuk shooting video-video masakan yang aku produksi. Keju mozarella merupakan satu yang paling sering aku pakai, karena selain rasa, tekstur, dan efek stretchy yang bagus sehingga lebih menarik untuk pembuatan video. Di akhir 2017 ini, ada produk baru lagi dari Greenfields yaitu yogurt.  Produk Greenfields memang terkenal dengan kualitas premium, dan dengan harga sedikit di atas produk lokal sejenis. Kalau kamu sering ke coffee shop , pasti sering menjumpai para barista yang memilih menggunakan produk susu Greenfields . Pabrik Greenfields yang berlokasi di kota Malang, Jawa Timur memiliki 10.000 ekor sapi Australia, dapat dipastikan bahwa sumber dan pengolahan sampai produk akhir oleh satu tangan sehingga kualitas lebih terjaga.  Pada tanggal 7 Desember 201

How do you make Perkedel ? The recipes may vary, I like mine with boiled potato instead of fried potato as the result will be nice and soft inside, similar to piping hot takoyaki. It's just great with sauteed ground beef, but classic Indonesian version, it's usually made with canned corned beef. There are two version, the one with egg coating (very common) and with the egg mixed into the dough. Sometimes, I make the mixed one, using this recipe but with extra egg so the dough won't be crumbly in frying process. Perkedel is my favorite, it goes well with chicken soup and rice, soto , or just eat it as a snack, yum!! I share this recipe so you can make your own, feel free to add your favorite ingredients, adjust the seasoning, you know, be creative. Lastly, let me know, share it to my social media, happy cooking. Ingredients: 500 gr potato, peeled, boiled 3 stalks green onion, thinly sliced 80 gr corned beef 1 egg 2-3 tbsp flour 3 cloves shallot, puree 5-7 cloves garlic, pure
