Asian people love their noodles and ramen is the favorite noodle in Japan which I also love very much.  Instant ramen is cheap, easy to make, and available everywhere. For instant ramen, however, I prefer Korean version instead of Japanese ones.

So, a couple of days ago, I tried an eggless chocolate cake recipe by Wendy (dunno her last name), in her recipe book: Desserts Temptation. It is a Singapore or Malaysian book, as the book has the English and Chinese text. I was supposed to bake it in an oven …

Yesterday I cooked a risotto recipe from the cookbook Risotto, by Janey Stacey and Kathryn Hawkins with a good result. The risotto ingredients are chicken stock, smoked chicken, button mushrooms, mango, almonds, and thyme.

I don’t eat steaks often but sometimes I have craving for steaks. I ate at this place before, a few years ago. (Yeah, I only eat steaks several times in a year). One thing I missed from this place is the free cassava crackers. They gave free cassava crackers …

As I’m sleepy to do anything, but it seems a waste and inappropriate to fall asleep now, I’m going to start my restaurant and food stall reviews for food around my local area, Tangerang, Indonesia.
