Chicken Masala (India Cuisine)

 

I always curious with Garam Masala. A spice from India. I heard it once when i watch Gordon Ramsay cook Chicken Tikka Masala. And i searched for that spice on internet. I found Garam Masala Spice in a supermarket that sell import spices. I didn’t really know how it taste so i decided not to bought it that time.

It was two weeks ago when i dine in in a restaurant with my friends. They serve a menu Seafood Masala. I recognized the name, but since i already ate so don’t think i can accept more food into my tummy. Thankfuly, my friend wanted to give it a try so i had a chance to taste how it was like. I like the taste immediately. So the next time i visit the restaurant with my boyf, i know exactly what i want to order; that Seafood Masala.

Homemade Twinkies

 

A few weeks ago, a friend of mine went to Unites States. I was thinking to ask her to buy me an Apple TV since it was so hard to find it here in Jakarta. Fortunately i found the Apple TV from someone i know in a tech forum on internet (bless the technology!). Just a few days before she take off, i finally asked her to buy me Twinkies. A snack from United States which i knew from my cousin when he was still lived in the state. I asked her to buy me not too much since i didn’t want to bother her. Apparently she brought me two boxes of Twinkies! (God Bless you, mba Juli! Love ya!) And what surprised me the most is she bought me The Minion Edition Twinkies! Ha! I’ve been read it on internet that Hostess had a selfie contest with that minion twinkies. But, i decide not to get in because i thought it was only for American citizens only.

Hummingbird Eatery Jakarta (Review)

Yesterday, i had a chance to visit a place called Hummingbird Eatery. That wasn’t a place of Hummingbird’s birds (i know that little creature, amazing bird though). It was a restaurant inside of a mall at South Jakarta. Seems like the type of the restaurant is Casual Dining with a little high price but still acceptable.

Salmon Tartare with Avocado

Salmon Tartare

Well, i just made this dish this afternoon after looking for some idea to eat salmon. Who doesn’t love salmon? If you want a high protein dish from sea, salmon is your hero (along with snapper, halibut and tuna). I shared my salmon with my 16 months little niece. I eat this salmon raw while she eat it perfectly cooked. Everybody know fishes are good for kids brain developing.

Let’s Make Pasta!

 

Beef Ravioli with Pomodoro Sauce

It’s been a while since i made my own pasta from scratch. I loves pasta. Any pasta! But as you can see, i mostly cook my pasta dishes from dried pasta i bought in supermarket. There are pros and cons about using fresh pasta and dried pasta. But i don’t want to talk about that now. You may prefer fresh pasta because its fresh or you may choose dried pasta because it makes your life easier. Whatever the reason, its your choice and i won’t judge you. And for myself, i don’t mind to eat pasta whether its fresh made or dried. As long as you use fresh ingredients to cook along with the pasta, i’ll be fine.
