I loveeee salted egg, it reminds me of home. Back then, when my mom didn’t cook or had no time to cook, I used to eat salted egg with rice. It’s simple and yummy. But since I lived in Germany, it’s now very common to eat this and can only be found at the Asian…

Mie Ayam (Chicken Noodle)
There are many ways of cooking Mie Ayam (Chicken Noodle), and this style is more of Chinese Indonesian style. I like to use the (fresh) frozen noodle from Asian market in Stuttgart instead of dried noodle. The consistency is better and it feels just like noodle I normally eat back in Indonesia. But of course,…
Japchae (Korean glass noodle)
Another dish that can be served warm or cold. This time I made a Korean style noodle, as called Japchae. I have made this several time and I find it very easy to make but definitely need time to prepare. It’s also quite feeling, so be careful when you serve yourself a portion…:) Hope you…

Chinese Congee/Porridge
When I was living in Beijing, I used to have Porridge/Congee for my weekend breakfast, usually I like to order the thousand-egg congee at the Chinese restaurant.

Mie Goreng Tek-tek (Indonesian fried-noodle, street food style)
Lately I have been missing Indonesian street-food, after all it is where I am from, and unfortunately Stuttgart has nothing to offer. So I gotta make one to fulfil my homesickness. One of my favorite street-food is Mie Goreng Tek-tek. The name comes from the seller that hits the wok on the food cart and…
Ayam Suwir (Indonesian Shredded Spicy Chicken)
Another dish that can be eaten warm or cold, is Indonesian shredded spicy chicken. Every weekend I try to make big quantity dishes so that I can have them for a few days, especially now that I don’t have much time to cook during the day. I paired this dish with my Tempe Orek (Indonesian…
