Wanting to make Char Shiu Pao after buying the pao's instant mix, but before making that, I have to make the Char Shiu first as it is not sold around my area. I have searched before for recipes a long time ago, but haven't made it yet, finally I decided on one of the recipe which looked as the simplest one and looks promising, I found it here. But after making the Char Shiu, it tasted http://mallofnia.blogspot.com/2014/08/coming-recipe-char-shiu-pork.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Martinia)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896878289437631349.post-3514864026647958070Wed, 30 Jul 2014 10:48:00 +00002014-08-10T18:29:41.293+07:00I'm not a cook... Remembering my childhood memories of eating drunken prawn or just normal boiled prawn with chili sauce dipping from bottle which always involves eating with family and eating fast to get more of the prawns :D  So I decided to buy prawns to make the dish on this holiday (it was a week holiday for us in Indonesia due to the Idul Fitri holiday) as I'm sure we will be eating too much http://mallofnia.blogspot.com/2014/07/simple-boiled-prawns-with-chili-garlic.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Martinia)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896878289437631349.post-7981738343151828610Mon, 05 May 2014 12:00:00 +00002014-05-09T16:57:03.948+07:00I'm not a cook...I have tried many times trying to make steam fish. The last recipe I tried was just by changing the shrimp to fish from my steam shrimp recipe which tasted delicious for the shrimp by the way, but for fish it's just not tasty enough. Even once made a very big mistake by adding lemon juice to the fish as I thought this will make it taste fresh / no fishy smell, but turns our this will make it http://mallofnia.blogspot.com/2014/05/steam-fish-grouper-chinese-style.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Martinia)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896878289437631349.post-1361047699939011442Sat, 18 Jan 2014 15:07:00 +00002014-03-13T13:44:38.229+07:00I'm not a cook... This is one of the easiest cookie recipe I ever tried and I usually make it at the end of the month as it doesn't cost much to make (no butter, no eggs, just perfect for excusing my diet as well).

For New Year's eve I have thought to make BBQ for all of us at home, my plan was to make BBQ : fish, rib, shrimp, yakitori chicken and plecing kangkung. But afterwards I canceled the rib since it would be too much for us to finish in 1 night. For the fish & plecing kangkung I used the recipe I posted before, but for the sambal of the plecing kangkung I doubled the recipe since hubby http://mallofnia.blogspot.com/2013/12/yakitori.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Martinia)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896878289437631349.post-3093264077530491735Tue, 24 Dec 2013 06:35:00 +00002014-03-04T21:05:17.013+07:00I'm not a cook...

Me and hubby lately, umm... well maybe it's just me, I have been crazy for fish, whether it being fried or BBQed (bakar). Lately I just love the ayam-ayam fish being fried and eating it with Manadonese sambal dabu-dabu, it's just delicious and fresh (plus it's quite cheap compared to the other sea fishes). But when BBQ-ing it I was a bit disappointed, the meat was too thin and the seasoning http://mallofnia.blogspot.com/2013/12/crazy-for-ikan-bakar-plecing-kangkung.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Martinia)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896878289437631349.post-8474063383623554616Tue, 05 Nov 2013 07:33:00 +00002014-03-04T21:13:18.350+07:00I'm not a cook... I have tried making nachos since 15 years ago, but it was just plain simple mix of tortilla chips, baked beans and kraft processed cheddar cheese to bake in the oven. But the Beef Nachos I ordered at Nacho Mama - Nuri's Warung in Ubud opened my eyes that it could have a rich taste. And you know what? Though it's without the beef and using ready made tortilla chips, I was happy with my nachoshttp://mallofnia.blogspot.com/2013/11/nachos-inspired-from-our-bali-quick-trip.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Martinia)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896878289437631349.post-5210927471191977863Sat, 26 Oct 2013 09:34:00 +00002014-08-10T17:27:37.714+07:00My Travel Whenever there's a good deal from airline, it always seduces me. This time it's with Bali ticket, but not from Jakarta, instead it's from Bandung. Since we got the ticket in a really good deal (well not as good as the one we bought for our honeymoon, but it's still quite a good deal) we bought it though we still have to think on how to get to and from Bandung.

It's not that easy to get filo pastry in my city, so when I saw it in the freezer shelf I took it and put in my basket without really knowing the real recipe to make baklava, I just knew that making baklava requires filo pastry and pistachios.

As advised by the hotel’s receptionist last night, it is not a problem at all for us to find a taxi at our time o check out since there were already 3 taxis queuing waiting for passengers.

To go to Penang (which is an island) we have to get a ferry to cross or ride a taxi to cross the bridge but for sure this will cost much more. Since it’s still dark and raining when we arrived, we waited a bit for the sun to shine to find a way to go to the ferry. There were some taxi drivers offering there service, but we were not interested. http://mallofnia.blogspot.com/2013/04/april-2013-siem-reap-trip-butterworth.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Martinia)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896878289437631349.post-2641491626197243217Fri, 26 Apr 2013 07:41:00 +00002013-10-16T16:01:41.129+07:00My ReviewMy Travel Since our plane leaves at 08.35 AM, we have to be ready at the airport at least 1,5 hour prior, since it took around 15-30 minutes to the airport from hotel, we have to leave around 06.30.
