KULINER INDONESIA KAYA WEB LAUNCHING (AND BREAKFASTING...)
Last
night I was invited to the launching of Kuliner Indonesia Kaya web
series along with the cooking demo and breakfasting at Almond Zucchini Prapanca,
first things first special thanks to William and Edi from VosFoyer for having
me! It was a rather private event and I had quite a fun there!

Indonesian food is
always going to be a part of me and as cliche as it sounds, you can take me out
of Indonesia but you can't the Indonesia out of me! I feel like as an Indonesian
myself, I have the responsibility and urge to preserve the culture and for me
personally, the easiest way is to actually cook it at home, lucky for me I have
an amazing mom with terrific cooking skill and I love cooking too even though I
know I might not ever be as good as my mom (and the patience to cook too) and to
be completely frank certain Indonesian food is seriously complicated to execute
but that doesn't mean that it's impossible to do! That's why these web series
aim to help newbies like us me to
prepare, cook and give us deeper knowledge about Indonesian food.
While waiting for
the "breakfast" time to come they did a cooking demo with Aku Cinta Masakan
Indonesia and Jordi Onsu, the awesome people from ACMI are here to help the web
series with concepting, preparation, recipes and more, along with valuable tips
on where to buy certain ingredient for that bang of your buck, Jordi himself is
going to be the host of the web series.
Here's the first
episode of their YouTube video where they will be talking (and actually cooking)
Minang food. They also made a traditional Minang sweets, Sarikayo, on the
cooking demo yesterday.
One
of the food that's being served for breakfasting last night: SOTO BETAWI, also a
cooking demo on this. I mean can you look at this thick creamy
soup!!! Trivia: do you know what there are
around 40 kinds of soto in Indonesia? If not then boy you have to check out the
web series.
Preparing for the Sarikayo! Sarikayo is steamed kaya
dessert, and commonly consist of mainly eggs.
Pandan extract, the main ingredient to get that green
color (and of course the signature rich Pandan flavor and fragrance)
Finish product! Kaya's normally paired with bread or
sticky rice but I had this just like that last night and depending on your
preference you can either have it hot or chilled, but the chilled version's the
best for me!
Prepating the Soto Betawi! Look at that hot chunky beef!
Quick tip, in order to maintain the tenderness of the beef, they suggested that
we don't slice the beef into tiny pieces before boiling it.
SOTO BETAWI DONE! Paired with homemade pickles and
chili
Now
after all the cooking it's time to break the fasting as Adzan finally arrived
and it's time for the Muslim friends to indulge on all the delicacies served
that night. It was nothing simple, just humble dinner with beautiful table
setting tho! On the tables were some fried light bites, little mung bean
desserts, rice, takjil and beverages then followed by more condiments like fried
soya bean cake, beancurd and perkedel (potato cake), Soto Betawi and Sarikayo!
No complaint about the food, everything was beautifully cooked and tasty!
Es
Podeng as the sweet closure to the awesome dinner!
