Another Cooking Class with The Maestro: Ko Sangjin

Only this time: Indonesian Moms who were learning from him should be 'ashamed':) of themselves...because they're learning how to make Indonesian traditional cakes from a Korean chef. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 
Well, among us, Ko Sangjin is no stranger. His love and passion for Indonesian food and everything about it has been like a no-surprise for us who know him. 
So, last week on weekend, as many as ten Indonesian moms and girls (single ones) who were staying in Seoul were attending half-day class and chit-chat session with him in one of our friends' house. 
He attentively and patiently taught the enthusiastic Moms about everything
in cake-making.  
He brought along the utensils and the ingredients...
and for us..it's a real deal. 
Hmm...I wonder what it's gonna be. Of course, I know it.
is it pandan-colored dough?
Whaaat??? pandan?  I thought that it's unavailable in Korea.
Well, nothing's impossible for Ko Sangjin who--I heard--makes almost all of the non-existent ingredients in Korea. He likes experimenting stuffs to create 
those he used to see back in Indonesia where he spent some of his time. 
Wonder what this is. 
But one thing for sure...this is kue pukis!!
Wow...how come that we learn how to make cookies from him.
What an amazing world this is. 
There were three traditional cakes we made oops he made that day.
And for me...I happened to 'taste' some of them...thanks to my wife who spared some for me.^^ 
Is it putu ayu? supposed it is...where's the coconut shreds that should be on top of it?
coconut shreds? hmmm...dream on, suray.:-) ^-^

A Decent Meal for Dinner

 Decent, simple, yet...irresistible for some. Okay..once again ..I am a vegetarian...so ..having a feast in Eid does not give me any huge difference of what I could intake into my body..in term of meals.  Last night, Mbak Ulfa generously cooked for us dinner. 
She invited some of us to her house to have mi bakso fiesta. Yes, mi bakso or meatball noodles.
Veggies, shredded chicken meat, pangsit or dumplings, sambal or spicy sauce, soy ketchup, and tomato ketchup...and others...(unseen on the pic). 
Oh...and..I got this Lebaran gift from my KBS crew. It's Lebaran and we usually eat lots and lots of cookies. So..what's the closest rendition of Lebaran cookies right here in Korea? 
They found this Pan-Fried Cakes that I love.
Sure...I brought along these cookies to mbak Ulfa's house...
and have them shared with others. 
As for this one, it is another home-made cookies. What a Lebaran or Eid Mubarak would be without cookies? Unimaginable. 
At least there should be one or two. It's all a cultural thing.  
Back to the meatball noodle I was talking about earlier. This is the picture. A combination of meatball, dumplings, vegetables, soy sauce, tomato sauce, and noodles (beneath all of these ingredients), and of course...
with hot chicken broth that surely comes along with it.
But...No...I did not eat it, well..at least in a complete style. The only thing I could eat was the noodle and veggies + dumpling (veggie filled).
Being a vegetarian.....always help me 'detach' myself from devouring myself into this kind of meal. No matter how delicious the food be. 
"Thank you, mbak Ulfa...for preparing the dinner for us"
*Then...we're still waiting for other invitations from other friends...to have lunch, dinner, or any other meals ....^^

Home-Made Martabak!!!

Martabak: Indonesian (or was it India) original cakes. Well, I am not sure. But we used to have this cakes back home in Indonesia. There are two kinds of martabak. First, veggie+meat filled ones, and the other: sweet martabak (since it is chocolate+cheese,+sprinkles-filled one). 
Kids love martabak. Can we find one in Korea? Of course, no. So, the only way to have this delicacy is to bake it at home a.k.a. making it ourselves. 
Well, their Mom does it.  
cheese and colored sprinkles-filled martabaks is the girls' favorite. 
We had it as one of the iftar menu during Ramadan the other day. 
Thanks, Mom, for making this 'delicious' martabak.
I wonder if we could open up a martabak shop. Online maybe? ^^
