I love food... I post anything about it

This restaurant have a quiet spicy sambal too.. i'm impressed...

My appetite are lil' bit ruined since moved to a different region and definitely unknown ways of cooking and tastes..

So grateful to having these dish once in a while

Ok, how we do it, using 3 or 4 fingers of our right hand (from thumb until your ring finger) after picking the combination of what to eat, pressed down a little on the side of our plate surface so it doesn't easily crumbled and fall when going into our mouth. That's the basic manner that i know about it. Never eat it messy and always washed hand before and after meal.

Anyway, the food on the video is me and my husband favourite place in Makassar, south sulawesi. Bebek and ayam goreng by ibu Sutami authentic from east java. Fried duck and chicken with a side dishes to pick like lightly fried stinky beans "pete", or fried gizzard and liver. The sambal here is delicious, cause it's taste spicy sweet and sour from tomatoes, tamarind and i guess a hint of fermented shrimp paste. And the other dipping is sarundeng which is a fried mixture if smooth shredded coconut and the marinated spices from the chicken and duck that they boiled in pressure cooker and drained. Sooo many flavors popping

I know it's a guilty pleasure... i ordered a hot tea to rinse my throat and also to be forgiven from my body 😅

Having a little excitement with the new attractive place on my way back home, these mini stuffs. Crisp silky tofu from sumedang with spicy sweet fermented shrimp sauce as the star of this place.

Not just that.. on the side, it's hard to pick all the goodies of fried stuff like ; types of Cireng (authentic dish from west java, made from tapioka flour, scallion, garlic, seasoning and water and fried until crisp with a soft and chewy inside), spicy crispy batter tofu filled with veggies, or tempe, onde- onde (made with glutinous flour and rice flour) with sesame on the outside and sweet mungbean paste filling, gemblong (frying a mixture of glutinous and rice flour with shredded coconut, sugar, salt, coconut milk. Then coated with melted palm sugar that giving the sweet and crisp textures), fried sweet potato balls filled with palm sugar, fried wrapped banana, fishcake, and lemper (savory sticky rice with shreded chicken/fish filling wrapped in banana leaf and grilled), Etc

There still many other menu that i haven't got to taste,, hope i could have a chance to go to their restaurant on the side building to.

(On the next video I'll show my fave menu #2 other then the silky tofu)

As a javanese, i love any unique flavours of every regions presents. By unique i mean extreme like chicken feet, brains, or innards😆

I remember some of this phrases "Always tried everyhing first then back to it if you favours them". "Theres nothing you 'cannot' eat.. you just 'dont want to' eat it".

This one up here is one of unique cuisine from surabaya the main city of east java.

Consist of (based on my own history):

Cingur as the star of the dish, which is a special part in a cow head, to be exact around mouth, nose and ears (just dont think it's gross. The fact that i know how it's been processed, and i convince you it's properly cleaned thoroughly even the outer skin is removed, i don't know how others do it) the texture not too chewy but more tender like when you eat gizzard but with much richness. This ingredient cooked in boiling water for few hours.

Petis sauce (fermented paste of shrimp and sugar caramel) with peanuts, fried garlic, fried shallots, tamarind paste, palm sugar, sweet soy sauce etc.

Rice cakes (rice grain that packed into leaf and boild in water until it firms), Poached veggies like morning glory (kangkung), bean sprouts, watercress. Fried tofu or tempe (fermented soybeans). Cucumber and pineapple to add freshness and sourness

Have you ever had... something so simple.. yet punch your soul like this!? So i remember my neighbour gave me thiiisss shaved ice with roasted peanuts, drizzled by palm sugar syrup and condensed milk!

I know it is only 4 ingredients... but don't you get tired with all the food that have so many stuff and your tongue already confuse by how to react to it

half import carrot thinly sliced,

scallion or leeks thinly sliced,

Green beans thinly sliced

chopped garlic, ground chicken, fried until it's cooked

are you only have a regular mayonaise at home? try this:

3 tbs mayonaise

1 tsp chilli sauce
