Bakpao/Steamed Bun

Kolak Pisang/Sweet Plantains in Coconut milk

Plantains/Banana plantains or Pisang Tanduk are very close relative of banana. The fruit looks exactly like normal banana but longer, larger and often cooked before eaten. It´s highly nutritious, good source of potassium, vit A, C and energy booster. Use plantains with yellow or black skin. In this stage, it would become ripe. Plantain is cooked in various ways ( boiled, fried etc), served as a side dish, snacks or as a dessert.

Tomato Soup

A bowl of tomato soup for a cold day. Though, it´s better to use fresh tomatoes than a pack of concentrated tomato juice. But, just make it simple, quick and easy :)

Sate Ikan/Rolled Fish and Vegetable Soup

My Mom often makes this Sate Ikan/Rolled Fish for the Family. Today, I really miss her cooking and try to make it for our early morning breakfast. Normally, we have toast bread for our breakfast. My youngest son isn´t feeling well. He got influenza, so I think a bowl of soup is good for him. He made me smile when he said:"Mama, I still want this for dinner!".

Kaastengels /Cheese Shortbread Cookies

For the best result, the choice of cheese is important to make Kaastengels. Use old/matured cheese/alt Käse like Gouda or Edam. Don´t forget to add pinch of salt if using unsalted butter.
