The magical Gingerbread Cupcake
First of all, I'm sorry that I can't keep my promise to post the story about my journey in Bali last November. I didn't imagine before, that month of December will pass very fast. The month that I have been really waiting for months, will end very soon... and I have no time and energy to post that story. Hopefully next month I'll have perfect time to upload the photos and the story.We began this
"Thank You"
I've just arrived home from the beautiful Bali Island this afternoon. It was an enjoyable great trip. Hundreds of pictures have been loaded into my compact flash card. I have no idea when I'll have time to edit and share them with you.I feel so grateful that I have a chance to visit this wonderful place (again) and photograph their rich traditional culture and beautiful sceneries.Thanks very much
Warm Brownie Cups
There are two things that made me very happy this week.First, I'm back to my regular swimming activity after more than two months absent.Last Friday morning, I started with 1600m long breaststroke, 500m less than my normal distance. Not bad at all! The whole day, I felt so good about it.Second, I'm back to my regular baking recipe trials.Actually, I bake about 2-3 times a week regularly, but not
Gulai Daging Sapi
Saya selalu kagum dan berterimakasih kepada banyak penemu-penemu peralatan dapur yang pada akhirnya mempermudah proses masak-memasak. Pernahkan terpikir bagaimana dipermudahnya kita mengupas wortel atau kentang dengan adanya 'peeler' atau mudahnya kita menghancurkan bawang putih dengan bantuan 'garlic masher'? Cobalah perhatikan peralatan dapur yang kita miliki, dari yang sesederhana parutan
Ontbijtkoek
One day I was cleaning the shelves in my kitchen, when I realized that one of my habbits is writting a recipe on a 'post it' (the small yellow square paper which can stick on almost anything) on my shelf. Of course, it's not all the recipes but just some of them that I regularly make it.So far, there are 'only' five selected recipes that sticked on my kitchen shelfs. The popular Fudge Brownies
Visiting Pasar Punclut, Bandung.
It was Sunday Morning, 10 October 2010 (10.10.10).
When some fresh married couples were busy with their wedding ceremony and lots of 'moms to be' got ready to deliver their babies on the interesting date', we woke up early morning, not for fancy things, but to enjoy the beautiful morning at Pasar Punclut (~stands for Puncak Ciumbuleuit), located in north part of Bandung.
Hohoooow ... it's true,

Piña Colada Puding

It may be garnished with a pineapple wedge or a maraschino cherry. The piña colada has been the official beverage of Puerto Rico since 1978.Source : WikipediaPuding ini sebenarnya
Enjoy Jakarta! during Idul Fitri.
Finally the opportunity has come to enjoy our city, Jakarta, during her most peacefully, much less pollution and zero traffic jam. This is the time that I have been waiting for.
Where are the millions of Jakartans that everyday flood every corner of the metropolitan?
They join the annual mass exodus, which is called 'mudik', meaning 'going home'.

Bubur Biji Salak
Living in the most populous Muslim country in the world, Ramadhan is one of the 'big events' for us in Indonesia. It affects many aspects of our life, from the time activities (school & working hour), traffic,... and the food.The schools and some offices have early dismissal for their students/teachers/staffs, and the terrible traffic get worse, when lots of people rush around 3pm-6pm in order to
Soto Ayam Madura / Chicken & Bean Sprouts Soup
Enough break!After more than 2 months I haven't posted my new 'expriment' in this blog, today... I have decided to start blogging again. So here is my first posting after my break. Actually I cooked and took the pictures about 2 months ago, but haven't had time and good mood to blogging since then.Traditional Market is a place that always gives me an exciting experience.Yup, I really enjoy
Cakalang Jagung Manis
Mengolah bahan makanan dengan bahan yang belum dikenali sebelumnya, selalu memberi 'sensasi' tersendiri untuk saya. Beberapa kali mencicipi masakan berbahan ikan cakalang, tetapi baru kali ini saya mengolah/memasak sendiri masakan ini. Minggu lalu, saat suami saya berada di Manado, Sulawesi Utara, saya dikirimi foto pedagang ikan cakalang fufu ini melalui MMS;Foto penjual 'Cakalang Fufu' yang
Pearl Sagoo Porriage with Steam Banana & Fermented Cassava
For the last couple of weeks, almost every morning until afternoon we could enjoy beautiful sunshine here, in Jakarta. Then late afternoon, the weather changes very quickly... big rain come, soon the after-office hour traffics get worst.Sun and rain, the combination of both are good for plants. Now, we really enjoy lots of beautiful red flowers that are blooming around our house. To be honest,
[TGIF] Black Pepper Beef & Sweet Corn
Beberapa minggu terakhir, rasanya saya kekurangan waktu untuk update blog ini. Foto-foto sudah menumpuk, tapi sulit dapat waktu dan mood untuk ngeblog.Foto-foto 'street vendor' yang muncul setiap hari Selasa, udah berjejer di bagian 'draft' postingan blog ini hingga beberapa bulan ke depan, dan akan otomatis ter'publish' setiap hari Selasa... jadi sebenarnya beberapa minggu terakhir blog ini
Soto Betawi, traditional soup from Jakarta.
June 2009, when we left India, some of my friends sent me email and told me that they would miss the colorful pictures from my blog posting.
Ooh, let me tell you all, you'll enjoy the other colorful pictures from my city, Jakarta!
Ten months living in Jakarta, we never have run out of place to be explored.
From museums to amuzement parks, from traditional markets to the glittering shopping

[TGIF] Double Chocolate Brownies
Friday Morning, March 19, 2010.
Friday morning routine passed by just like the other morning. My husband left the house just about 10 minutes after 6am, and around 7.15 am my children were sitting in the car, while I was getting ready to send them to school. I saw them from our terrace, they wore their seatbelt on while waiting for me locking the house door. And... it happened very quick; when I

Coffee-Cake Muffins
It was typical Saturday morning at our home... everybody can wake up as lazy as they want. This is the only morning of the week that we can do that.What about Sunday morning? No..no... We go to Church, after all busy activities during the weekdays.So... what's for breakfast in Saturday morning? Hhmmm the choice must be something easy and fast to prepare. On last weekend, the choice was pastry
[TGIF] Avocado Juice & Chocolate Bagelen
I really love Friday, the last day of the busy weekdays.I enjoy every single minute while doing all the activities during that day; waking up in the morning, preparing breakfast and lunch box, driving to drop my children off to their school, enjoying my 2100m long swimming, ... and all other activities before welcoming the weekend. I always try to arrive home before late afternoon, and stay away
Tempe Penyet
Saya yakin, bahwa setiap keluarga mempunyai kebiasaan makan yang berbeda satu dengan yang lain. Tentunya masing-masing akan memiliki keunikan dan tradisi tersendiri, baik dari segi waktu makan, cara makan hingga jenis makanan.Karena saya tumbuh dalam keluarga yang terbiasa untuk menikmati makanan buatan ibu saya (homemade), maka kebiasaan seperti itulah yang kemudian tumbuh dalam keluarga kecil
Kari Ayam & Roti Jala (Chicken Curry & Lacy Pancakes)
Makanan ini sebenarnya saya buat untuk mengobati kekangenan kami pada roti canai, kuah kari dan teh tarik. Menu yang begitu melekat di lidah dan hati kami setelah sempat 3.5 tahun menetap di Malaysia. Saya teringat, pertengahan tahun 2008, saat kami menetap di India, kami sempat mampir di Kuala Lumpur beberapa hari setelah berlibur di Jakarta... nyaris setiap hari saya membeli roti canai dan teh
Banana, Rum & Raisin Bread Pudding
Actually, I wanted to send this recipe as my entry for 'Banana Week NCC' last month. I tried this recipe on the third week of January, unfortunatelly, until the end of January, I had no change to post this recipe in my blog.Okey, nothing to lose... my family really enjoy this delicious pudding.I'm so happy with the result of this Bread Pudding. This is the one that I'm looking for; a rich-soft
Brenebone Soup
Brenebone Soup is a special dish from North Sulawesi, Indonesia. It contains of red kidney beans, beef & bones, plus some 'special' spices. I say special, because its unusual to put this spices (nutmeg and cloves) in the soup. Both spices give a delicious 'kick' to the soup. This soup is a perfect dish during rain season like the last couple of months (here, in Jakarta).To prepare this soup, we
