"Ayam Masak Kencur" is the chicken dish recipe i want to share this time. I have a little difficulty in translating this recipe in english because "Kencur" is a kind of herb originally from Indonesia. Some say "Kaempferia galanga" or "Aromatic Ginger", "Sand Ginger", "Cutcherry" or "Resurrection Lily" for the same herb. Javanese and Balinese cuisine use this herb as cooking spices. Combination between Kencur and other herbs create a wonderful spicy taste.
Ingredients:
Chicken thighs
Salt, gratered ginger, bay leaves, lemongrass, lime leaves
Coconut milk
Fine textured mix spices: garlic (grilled)
red onion (grilled)
red chillies (grilled)
red cayenne pepper (grilled)
Shrimp paste (grilled)
Kencur
Salt, brown Sugar

Stir fry the fine textured mix spices, add the gratered ginger, bay leaves, lemongrass and lime leaves
Add coconut milk

Here, i want to share another snack or opening menu made from cassava called Bubur Candil.

I've never expected that i will living and working in this town before, but here..... after more than a half year, i falling in love with the life of Cirebon.
I've never expected that i will living and working in this town before, but here..... after more than a half year, i falling in love with the life of Cirebon.
Cirebon, the 2nd biggest town in Jawa Barat, is not only high population because of its location on coastal areas. It aksi because Cirebon has rich and unique culture, different from Sundanese or Javanese. Maybe assimilation from both or has own character but it made this place offers pleasure in tourism and culinary adventures!
Well, I love batik since came here, that's true! Somehow, after came to Trusmi, the center of coast batik craft industry. The patterns were so amazing. Rich of color, design and the price is cheap enough. I almost can't control myself to shop some cirebon batik... Love it so much!
I saw a canthing process which is part of drawing, coloring textiles with malam, kind of candles. This is the most important part of creating pattern design of batik. Most of them, is been done by women because this processes need high patience and accuracy in detail. Well, women can do that better, can't they?

The culinary also tempting to be tried. Cirebon has more than five famous culinary menu. Today, I will share the simple dish made from tofu called Tahu Gejrot.
Tahu Gejrot using Tahu Sumedang, kind of brownish Tofu with hollow spaces inside and a little bit salty. Most Sundanese love this tofu and meal it as snack anytime. Tahu Gejrot offer combination of saltiness, sweetnes and spicy-ness in a bowl. So, here the recipe:

Another kind of Soto!
I love soto!
That's right. Soto is my favourite breakfast menu when i was at home. After biking around the block, with my biking friend, i end the journey with enjoying soto. My favourite spot? Soto Ayam Pak Slamet near the railway or Soto Daging Sapi Pak Tono PGRI Yogjakarta. But this time, i would like to discuss about other kind of soto which is traditionally from betawi.
The name of Soto Betawi appeared since 1977-1978. Almost typically same as Soto Tangkar but with more simple ingredients and less spicy. More tasty if we meal it with fried onion studded rice, emping (chips made from melinjo) and sambals. So here the recipe of Soto Betawi
Ingredients:
Beef meat
Galangal, lemongrass, bay leaves, ginger
Coconut milk
Potatoes
Tomatoes
Onion, garlic, coriander, caraway, pepper, salt
celery
Direction:
Boil the meat
puree all seasoning: onion, garlic, coriander, caraway, pepper and salt
Stir fry the seasoning
Cut into smaller box of potatoes
Add the coconut milk
Stir all to prevent coconut milk splitting
Boilling it until cooked
Add the tomatoes
and..... it served with white rice, studding it with fried onion and don't forget emping
then.... ENJOY IT!!!
