Buka Puasa Bersama

Menyenangkan sekali. Alhamdulillah...saya bisa berpuasa Ramadan di rumah Kediri walaupun hanya 5 hari saja. Yup..seperti ini suasananya....dapur rumah. 

Adik ipar, istri adik laki-lakiku bersama anak-anak (atau keponakanku) datang dan itu membuat suasana berbeda. Menyenangkan pokoknya. 

Walaupun hanya ada krupuk, sayur bayam, tempe goreng, dan well...nasi tentunya....itu sudah cukup untuk membuat suasananya membahagiakan. * plus ada kolak....walaupun tak terlihat di foto ini.

Bagaimana nggak....lha wong...inilah yang saya cari .....

alasan saya ke Kediri bertepatan pas Ramadan adalah karena...inilah suasana yang kuinginkan. 

Keponakanku mulai bermunculan....Bapak dan Ibu pun terlihat sekelibat..sana. ^^

Alhamdulilah. 

Minggu: Home-made Breakfast

sunday. Home-made kimbab....my vegetarian style. Oh...plus some tteok we bought from the tteokjib nearby.

scrambled eggs. Oseng tempe. Sliced cucumbers. Perkedel 'fried mashed potatoes'.... Plus rice ...for sure.

Tempe: organically made food..... Indonesian traditional food. Well..one thing for sure...I love it. 

Being a vegetarian.....tempe is the main .....staple food for me. ㅋㅋㅋ

Delightful Food/Snack I Encountered This Past Week

First of all, at times...I got to admit that I've been craving for anything sweet...geezzh...I know I shouldn't have, but who could turn down a giftpack of traditional home-town snack that my student brought for me?

It is made of coconut brown sugar, peanuts, and tapioca (?)....@nyway...it's crunchily tempting. Gone in a few seconds^^

We went to a nearby Korean restaurant and ordered 알밥 [albab] which is basically rice with assorted side dish....but mostly veggies and the 알밥 itself~~which is actually ^fish eggs^

..and with two shrimp tempura, it just blew me away....^^ of course, I didn't eat the shrimps. My kids did.

Back at home...I had scrumptious....light (?) Diner...consisting of tempe, emping, boiled sprouts, black beans mixed with coconut shreds, and the irreplaceable sambal!!!

Thanks to my wife who knows what I like.

I was home and it's served..

And...one more thing that I love is kering tempe or dried tempe (soybean) mixed with peanuts, garlic, shallot, and chilli.

whoa...a good meal for a vegetarian like me.

again and again...I thank my wife for making all of these.

Sego Tumpang (Nasi Tumpang) ' Tumpang Rice"

It may not look much. It may look so simple and decent. But,..hey..this is EXACTLY what I've been longing for. The very first morning I woke up again back home in Kediri, my Mom cooked some tumpang rice--my favorite traditional food ..native of Kediri. 

This tumpang rice was served with a complete side dish....tempe and tofu, my favorite...especially since they were all from my Mom's very own hands. ^^

역시...엄마 손의 맛이 최고다.^^ 

I just love my Mom's way of frying some tempe and other side dish.

One just needs to feel the gratitude of being home...to admire and be thankful ....for what has been granted to one's life.

I do and I am.

Alhamdulillah. 

Thanks, Mom. Makasih ya, Ibu....untuk nasi tumpangnya.
