Sweet Soya Bean Petai / Petai Kecap

2011-04-18T22:05:00.000-07:00

Maybe not everyone ever tried to eat petai or even know petai ..
I'm not sure which countries are familiar with petai, but almost every people in Indonesia likes petai.
Some people said it has a unique flavor, and they liked it, but some people said it have unpleasant smell, wierd, and they don't like it. Quite difficult to explain exactly how it tastes, my opinion it's little bit crunchy when you bite, unique smell but some people said it have smell like methane gas. hahaha ... but for those who loves it said it's tasty and smells good.

Beside that, compared with apples, petai has protein 4 times more, carbohydrates over twice as much, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice as many vitamins and other minerals.

For more information about petai you can read in Here

I eat petai, but not my favorite. Most of petai make your urine have smell so bad, and it was very embarrassing when you piss in the office toilets or public toilets, or even your house itself.

In Indonesia, petai usually cooked with fried rice and I likes this one (I can tell you that is delicious, petai would give you different taste of your usual fried rice and this is yummy), or cooked with potatoes & chili, or combine with javanese salad (lalapan) served with chili sauce (sambal terasi).

And here is my parents's favourite recipe, my parents loveeeeee petai... ><)hehe..
did you think that I have a bad smell toliet.. Lol!

Ingredient :
1 cup of Petai
2 Garlic, sliced
3 Shallot, sliced
5 meatballs, sliced
1 tomato, sliced
2 red chili, sliced
3-5 tbs sweet soya bean
1 cups of water
salt & pepper

Cooking Direction :

saute garlic and shallot until fragrant, add meatballs, then petai, stir,
add red chili, then tomatoes, stir well,
add sweet soybean, then water, cook until boiled in medium heat,
add salt & pepper, adjust the tasted,
served.

*please cooking if you are dare to try... hehehe... ^^))
for you who loves petai, maybe it can be a new recipe for you...
and Do you likes Petai??...

Review : Woku Woku Restaurant ( Manado Food )

2011-04-06T18:55:00.000-07:00

Hellooo :)... This is my first foody review… yeeeyyy!!....

Yesterday, after office hour I went to Mall Artha Gading, in North Jakarta, I and my boyfriend want to tried Manado food in Woku Woku Restaurant.
Manado is a capital city of North Sulawesi in Indonesia. For information, Indonesia have very very very a lot of various types of foods, start from traditional food to international food, and most of them can make your tongue dancing…
Each province in Indonesia have their own traditional food.

The famous from Manado cuisine is spicy taste, and almost all the menus using herbs, like basil, lime leaves, pandan, mint leaves, lime Cui, and lemongrass.

ok let's begin for the Woku Woku restaurant, with hungry stomach we got into the restaurant, not too big with a simple interior, a few tables occupied by people.

then we ordered Sop kuah asam ikan kakap (sour snapper soup), Rado Rica, Pekedel Jagung (jagung=corn), and dabu dabu (it's like chili)

Sop kuah asam ikan kakap (sour snapper soup), This soup tasted sour and spicy, and also warm in stomach (I guess coz that’s what I feel), snapper in diced, in Soup there are ginger, spring onion, lemongrass, tomatoes, spicy taste comes from cayenne and sour from the lime juice, all combination made this soup so refreshing and it's comes in a big bowl portion... so you can eat for two or even three with the other menu.

Rado rica is stir fry beans, corn, eggplant and chicken fillets which cut in dice. and again…... a little bit spicy.

Perkedel jagung, deep fried flour with corn, ehhmm.. crunchy!!

Dabu Dabu, which is also famous for its sour and spicy taste, because of the small green tomato-based, cabe rawit / cayenne pepper and lemon Manado.

Beside, there are another favourite menu at Woku woku like Woku Manado Porridge, Ikan bakar saus Rica (Grilled Fish Rica Sauce), Ikan Woku Belanga (Fish Woku Belanga), and soup Brenebon.
To cover the taste spicy food you've eaten, treat the tongue with sweet red bean ice and a wide selection of other tasty.

For the price, it's quite cheap, Rp.35,000 for the Soup, Rp.14,000 for Rica Rado, Rp.7,500 for Perkedel Jagung, Rp.4,500 for Rice, Rp.7,000 for Refiil Tea.

Kurs at that time :
1 USD : Rp.8,700
1 EUR : Rp.12,300
1 AUD : Rp.8,900
1 Yen : Rp.103,00
1 SGD : Rp.6,800

Overall:
interior : standard
cleanliness : good
service : good
teste : good
price : standard

wanna eat again : yes! Wanna try the other menu ^^

Chinese Sauces and Seasonings, part 2

2010-12-16T18:31:00.000-08:00

Sometimes we are getting confuse how to store our sauces and seasoning well, they can be change in flavor and colour if we’re not store in the right way after opened it, it’s mean they lose its freshness. Leaving the sauce out on the kitchen counter top where warm conditions can easily form bacteria.

I suggest that once the sauce lid is opened, you should always refrigerate the sauce and always keep the container tightly sealed (this is especially important for sauce that needs to be refrigerated), and for canned sauce, place in a sealed container after opening and refrigerate. For store non-refrigerated sauce away from direct heat and light.

There are some of sauces and seasoning that you must be refrigerated after opening :

Black Bean Sauce
Hoisin Sauce
Oyster Sauce
Plum Sauce
Sweet and Sour Sauce
Chile Paste
Chile Sauce.

There are some of sauces and seasoning that you can be stored in the cupboard :

Rice Vinegar
Rice Wine
Dry Sherry (a common substitute for rice wine)
Sesame Oil
Soy Sauce (Light)
Soy Sauce (Dark)
Fish Sauce (Southeast Asian)
Hot Chili Oil.

Chinese Sauces and Seasonings, part 1

2010-12-01T20:22:00.000-08:00

I like Chinese food, but to cook Chinese food we need some authentic sauces and seasoning. Some of my favorite seasonings are garlic, chives, leeks, star anise, ginger, peppercorns, chiles, mushrooms, rice wine and sweet bean sauces.

Chinese cooking style is known for flavorings and condiments that blend to create hot, sweet, sour, and salty in one mouthful.

There are certain food items that need to be stocked in the pantry in order to create Chinese cooking. These items are :

♥ Soy Sauce

Use it to marinate, season, or dip to add saltiness and depth to savoury dishes. Avoid adding soy sauce into a dry hot pan, as the sugars in soy sauce can scorch the pan.

♥ Szechuan peppercorn

Szechuan peppercorn warmth and fragrance is traditionally used to take out bloody- or fishy-tasting in meats or seafood. It is most commonly used in soup bases and chicken stir-fried.

♥ Five Spice Seasoning

Five Spice Seasoning is a popular blend of Szechuan peppercorn, cinnamon, fennel seeds, star anise, and one of or a combination of citrus peel, nutmeg, or cloves.

This is a very common spice for seasoning poultry, in braised beef dishes, and in soup base.

♥ Star Anise

Except when used in Five Spice Seasoning, it is used whole to season stocks and sauces, and removed before serving.

♥ Oyster Sauce

Like soy sauce, oyster sauce is quite the multi-tasker in the Chinese kitchen - it can be used to dress steamed veggies, added to noodle and meat stir-fries, and used with a cornstarch slurry to make a pan sauce.

♥ Black Bean and Garlic Sauce

This is very salty and is blended in stir-fry dishes, not as a dip or condiment on its own. Add a dollop of this to hot oil when stir-frying noodles or meats.

♥ Soybean Paste

It is never used as a soup base. Add to heated oil for stir-fries or in braising liquids for rich winter dishes.

♥ Hoisin Sauce

Some manufacturers add colouring to this sauce. Choose one that is brown without red food colouring. Use as a dipping sauce, on noodles, or as a basting sauce for barbecued meats.

♥ Chili Sauce

Chinese Chili Sauce is commonly made by steeping chopped, dried chilis in heated oil to allow the heat and colour of the chili to penetrate the oil. Because the chilis are dried, the heat is concentrated and smoky, and is usually very spicy. Use it for dipping dumplings or to add to fried noodles.

♥ Sesame Oil

Look for clarity and fragrance. Use sesame oil in salad dressing, drizzle it over noodles, or to marinate meats.

These ingredients can be found in well stocked supermarkets, in any Asian market.

Benefit of Tempe

2009-04-24T00:40:00.000-07:00

Tempe as food products have been well known by the Indonesian people or foreign. It's delicious, cheap price and easy to obtain.
Many vegetarian in the world found tempe as a substitute for meat. Now tempe produced in many places in the world, not only in Indonesia.

Tempe made from the fermentation of soy beans or some other material that uses some type of kapang Rhizopus, such as Rhizopus oligosporus, RH. oryzae, RH. stolonifer (kapang bread), or RH. arrhizus. This fermentation is generally known as "yeast tempe".

In general, tempe have white coloured because the growth of miselia kapang paste soybean seeds so that tight the texture. Degradation components of soybean in the fermentation makes tempe has a taste and a smell characteristic. Different with Tofu, Tempe is a bit dour.

The composition nutrient of protein, fat, and carbohydrate doesn't much change compared with soybean. However, due to a digestive enzyme produced by Tempe kapang, the protein, fat, and carbohydrate in tempe be more easily digested in the body than that found in soybean. Therefore, It's very good to be given to all age groups (from infants to the elderly), so that food can be called as all ages.

Soya bean very good to consumed because it's contain :
1. isoflavones: famous for anti oksidant as a cancer prevention
2. contain phytoestrogen: useful to the body kit as anti strees, anti aging / prevent aging cells in humans
3. contain lesithin / fat naturally good for the body
4. containing saporin (suitable for vegetarian)

Some research indicates that vitamin of tempe more easily digested, absorbed, and utilized the body compared with that in the soybean. This has been proven in infants and children under five people with malnutrition and chronic diarrhea.

With the tempe, increase the growth of malnutrition and diarrhea are healed in a short time. Processing soybeans into tempe will be decrease raffinosa and stakiosa, a compound that causes the occurrence of symptoms flatulency.

Tempe is also trusted to prevent anemia and osteoporosis, two diseases that affects many women, because women's nature to be experienced menstruation, pregnancy and breastfeeding babies. Anemia disease can attack woman who lazy to eat cause fear have fat body, so that supply and production of cell-red blood cells in the body decreases.

Vitamin B12 (found in animal foods), and zinc that is needed in the formation of red blood cells. In addition, Tempe can also decrease the cholesterol level in blood. Compound protein, fatty acid PUFA, fiber, niasin, and calcium in Tempe can reduce the amount of bad cholesterol.

In Tempe also found a substance in the form of antioxidants isofalvon. Like vitamins C, E and karotenoid, isoflavon are antioxidants that are necessary to stop the body's reaction to the formation of radical free. In soybean there are three types of isoflavon, namely daidzein, glisitein, and genistein. At Tempe, in addition to the three types of isoflavon antioxidants are also factors II (6,7,4 trihidroksi isoflavon) that have the nature's most powerful antioxidants compared with isoflavon in soybean.

Antioxidants was happen when the process soybeans into tempe fermentation by the bacteria Micrococcus leteus and Coreyne bacterium. Research conducted at the University of North Carolina, United States, found that genestein and phytoestrogen found in Tempe that can prevent prostat cancer, breast and anti aging.

Scary Disposable chopstick

2009-04-07T22:03:00.000-07:00

I received this from an email several months ago and I don’t know how true it can be. It’s make me scare because I often uses disposable chopstick to eat noodles, Japanese food, and Chinese food. Many fast food restaurant, noodle,Japanese & Chinese food restaurant uses disposable chopstick.

I would leave it to you to decide on the accuracy of the contents of the email :

Brief information on production of Disposable Chopstick :

1. Cut from Bamboo Trees

2. Production in Central of Vietnam

3. Bleach using sulfur & Hydrogen Peroxide (Not disinfect)
sulfur
Hydrogen Peroxide

4. Drying process

5. Packing ready to be export to Taiwan, Japan ....

6. Shipping ready to be sent to Taiwan

It takes 1 month from Ex-factory to Taiwan. Meantime, the chopstick is exposed to rat & cockroach.

7. Wrapping process (without any disinfection)

Upon arival in Taiwan, these chopstick are sent to small factory to be wrapped without any disinfection process before sending to restaurants.

And directly send to customer mouth.

There are thousand and million of monkey residing inside these chopstick

Can u see it?

Monkey face inside the chopstick

The leftover from the chemical would stay inside these holes until you use them.

Conclusion from the experiment conducted by aprimary school student

- Soak the chopstick in the water for one week – It stinks
- Planted green pea in the soaked water, resulted longer growing process, it stop growing when reach 5-6cm, & finally died.
- Smoke from burning these chopstick is tested to be acidic.

Carbon dioxide found in the bamboo chopstick

Avoid using disposable chopstick which is very white as it is not the original colour of the wood. Chopstick that is too white may have been bleach excessively.
Advisable to soak in hot water before use to release carbon dioxide.
Best not to use these chopstick for bbq, and leave in the, soup as it tend to release more carbon dioxide

Possible consequences of using disposable chopstick

Suffer difficult breathing, vomit, diarrhea etc.
and loss of calcium due to sulfur.
Suffer Asthma and difficult in breathing
Limpa blockage

If you can't avoid...

It is suggested to smell the chopstick before use. If any sour smell, possibly it contain CO2. And soak them in warm and hot water for 2 to 3 min to reduce the CO2.

Best is to bring your own chopstick

By continuing consuming disposable chopstick...

A 20-year old tree could produce 3000-4000 pairs of chopstick
Taiwanese use more than 100 billion pairs
Which means 29 million of trees are being cut every year.

Disposable chopstick effect to our environment...

Is it possible that Taiwan will recycle the use chopstick?

As reported by reliable sources, it was found that the disposable chopstick are being recycle by reusing sulfur & Hydrogen Peroxide.

Choosing and Keeping Chocolate

2009-03-18T23:25:00.001-07:00

How to Choosing Chocolate ???

The easiest way to find out the quality of the chocolate, we can see from the smell, taste and sound.

The skin of the chocolate are pure, smooth, and shining.

The smell of the chocolate are sharp, has a strong characteristic of chocolate taste and the smell not really sweet.

When the chocolate was broke, it would be hear a sonorous sound and not leave spices.

If you touch, it’s easy to melt, it also happen when you chew in you mouth, chocolate will melting faster.

The chocolate which have stiff colour and hard. Means the chocolate contains a little cocoa butter. The texture of chocolate which smooth and creamy mean the chocolate contains much cocoa.

How to Keeping Chocolate ???

Keep chocolate in clean hermetic vessel, so it will keep the smell. The place to keep chocolate must be an attention because chocolate has a characteristic to absorb the smell around it.

The ideal temperature to keep chocolate is around 10°C-15°C. Dark chocolate can keep lasting for one year.

Avoid the place where hot and wet, because can break the texture and the smell of the chocolate.

On the chocolate box wrote “best before” not “expired date”. Means chocolate doesn’t have expired date. The chocolate still can be eat, but it has less quality. Means from the date which written on “best before” is the final date when the quality of the chocolate still fresh.
