"Children Learn more from What you are than What you teach"

Selam...... Merhaba from turkey....

With small kids around the house we must always ready with any healthy and yummy meals so anytime we can provide them within a minute. For that I always make stock some whether homemade chicken nugget, croquette or this cheesy chicken balls. Whenever I need it, I just take out from my freezer, let it defrost and warm it up.

This cheesy chicken ball is one of my favorite too.. serve it warm and we'll get best cheesy chicken ball ever. I usually store them in freezer after fry them, just thaw some on room temperature before warm it up on microwave or low temperature oven.

HIKAYAH : Kisah Petani dan Keledainya.

Assalamu'alaikum.... Merhaba dari Turki..

Dulu sebelum tidur, Bapak Almarhum selalu mendongeng untuk saya dan saudara2 saya. Banyak sekali kisah mulai dari kisah nabi nabi sampai hikayat Abu nawas yg melekat di pikiran saya hingga saya setua ini. 

Saya pikir ada baiknya cerita-cerita yang beliau kisahkan  pada kami saat itu, saya tuangkan dalam tulisan di blog saya yang sederhana ini dengan harapan anak-anak saya kelak (dan juga pembaca yang lain) juga bisa mengenal hikayat-hikayat itu juga. 

Dan bagi saya dengan menuliskannya kembali disini dapat menjadi pengingat bagi saya akan almarhum Bapak dan kebiasaaan bercerita sebelum tidur tersebut dan meneruskan kebiasaan itu kepada anak saya, Inshallah...

I miss U Bapak......

"Children need our presence more than our presents"

Selam everybody .... Merhaba from Turkey..

My today's post is steamed cake from egg white again. If you are my  regular blog's reader you probably notice that I posted many steamed cake in this humble page, and some of them used egg white-mostly left over egg white.. 

Yes I do like steamed cake. Cake with steamed process I think it's more moist than bake one. And for me any recipe I use with steamed process it become fail proof recipe (^,^) ... trust me. I tried many time, with same recipe, when I steamed it, it always came out fluffy and moist cake, while - some time I got 'broken heart' cake out from my oven... in fact that recipe with oven bake method... I have no idea why.. 

Please do check other steamed cake post on "steamed" over cooking method section.
You can also check specific steamed cake from egg white like Spiced steamed cake here, Chocolate steamed cake from egg white, Steamed zebra cake here.

And today I just steamed another cake from left over egg white and this time I twist chocolate flavor with my favorite Pandan flavor on marble cake.
Steamed process took about 45 minutes, also you must check by inserted skewer in the middle, continue steam if your skewer comes out still wet (it should comes out really clean).

Suatu ketika, Rasulullah saw dan para sahabat ra sedang ifthar (buka puasa). Setiap kali mereka makan sebuah kurma, biji- biji sisanya mereka sisihkan di tempatnya masing-masing.

Beberapa saat kemudian, Ali menyadari bahwa dia memakan terlalu banyak kurma. Biji- biji kurma sisa mereka menumpuk lebih banyak di sisi Ali dibandingkan di sisi Rasulullah. Maka Ali pun secara diam- diam memindahkan biji-biji kurma tersebut ke sisi Rasulullah.

Kemudian Ali ra dengan tersipu-sipu mengatakan, “ Wahai Nabi, engkau memakan kurma lebih banyak daripada aku. Lihatlah biji-biji kurma yang menumpuk di tempatmu. ”Nabi pun tersenyum dan menjawab, “Ali, kamulah yang memakan lebih banyak kurma. Aku memakan kurma dan masih menyisakan biji-bijinya. Sedangkan engkau, memakan kurma berikut biji-bijinya”. (HR. Bukhori)

Mocca Spongecake Recipe

Resep dalam bhs Indonesia ada di bagian bawah



Selam.... Merhaba from Turkey..

Happy weekend to all of you.. 
What do you usually do with family to spend weekend together? It's summer time, maybe mostly you're on happy holiday this moment...Happy holiday for you!

Or you just stay at home with your family, enjoying togetherness in this hot lazy summer... laying down on couch whole day doing nothing but fingers do sport changing TV channels (^,^)

For us..week end is "go out from house day" since we have small kid who always boring stay inside home too long in summer days... Of course, almost everyday I took her to small kid park near our neighborhood... But it's very small playing yard, with only 1 slide, 2 pair swings.. with 70% good condition... surely my kid easily gets bore there too....
So...week end is really our family time, spending time together.

As every other week end in our house, week end is almost "cake" time ... so this week end I just make simple sponge cake with mocca flavor to accompany our tea and coffee time.

I made this cake many times using basic spongecake recipe (just vary in flavor), and it always turn out beautifully yet yummy.. it's super easy and fail proof, guaranty you gonna love it also...

Jagung Manis Keju (Cheesy Sweet Corn Cup)

Selam everybody..... Merhaba from Turkey

This is my kid's favorite snack.. I sometimes serve this between lunch and supper time. 
I like it also. It's slightly savory, slightly sweet and make me feel really full without being guilty (^,^) ... with reduce a little butter and cheese for me, this snack absolutely healthy.

Summer time like now days, we can meet many vendors on street selling this kind of satiated snack. But here in Turkey, the taste bit different from sweet corn cup sells in Indonesia. Sweet corn cup here simply mix the corn kernels with A LITTLE part of butter, for optional topping they let us choose ketchup, acılı sos (spicy sauce), and pomegranate vinegar. No other variation like when you visit Indonesian sweet corn vendors.

In Indonesian vendors we can have some sweet corn cup variant such as: cheese, mayonnaise, bbq sauce, milky sweet, and I don't remember else (^,^)

What I made today is sweet corn cup base on my taste with cheese topping. Of course feel free to choose your own taste and topping, it's basically boiled kernel mix with butter. For further taste and variation are depends on your liking.

Künefe Recipe /Turkish sweet cheese kadayif pastry (Kunafa / kanafeh)

Merhaba From Türkiye 👋

First, I'd like to thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you can come back, again and again, to check up on anything beyond Indonesian or Turkish food or something sweets you might love. Your comments and emails brighten my days and make this simple blog thing worthwhile 😍💛 

And make sure you subscribe to my Youtube channel and turn on the bell sign to get more video recipes.

Künefe or kanafeh or kunafeh or kunafah or ... I don't know any other names of it.. But basically, it's a sweet pastry made from wiry kadaif filled/ layered with unsalty soft cheese and soaked in sugar syrup. Served hot or at room temperature.
Künefe is popular in Turkey and in some Mediterranean countries (as a former Ottoman Empire). 

In Turkey, some cities (like Hatay, Adana, Mersin, Sanliurfa, Mardin) had claimed where this Künefe originated from. But according to sources Künefe originally from Arabian. The soldiers of the Ottoman Empire which were sent on the road to the establishment of the Republic have gone to Yemen. Some of the troops here had made some "sweets/ dessert" and then later when they (ottoman soldiers) have returned to their home they started to learn making this dessert. Künefe came to Mersin the end of the year 1930, and to Hatay at 1940s.

I ate this sweet pastry the first time a few years ago when I got to Turkey for 1st time ( I think it was around 2008). And my first impression was this dessert was away too sweet for me.. any Turkish dessert was too sweet for me as they mostly soaked in thick sugar syrup.
But after a few years of living here slowly, my taste has adapted, but still, I eat some sweets in moderation.

Bread rolls/ Roll-ppang 롤빵

Assalamu'alaikum..... Merhaba From Turkiye....

Since I live in Turkey, making bread is part of my daily work cause we eat bread in any ways almost everyday. Almost everyday or at least once in 2 days I always serve my family with fresh bread. Nothing can replace warm and fresh bread from oven serve at your family table... as warm as the togetherness it self..

As Turkish people mostly consume chewy (and slightly hard) bread so mostly I made that type of bread. Different type from Asian bread (which mostly I ate few years back) which has soft and spongy texture also mostly slightly more has sweet and milky taste. So of course my daily bread I made are more chewy and slightly hard in texture even once in a while we eat soft and spongy bread but I reduce as much as I can the amount of sugar in it.

You can check my soft bread (No egg required) here. Don't forget to check my other bread post on "Bread" category.

And my today's post also about bread and I want to try Korean style bread roll-ppang 롤빵.
I never make and it before so I'm a little curious about the real taste and texture... so if you are Korean or you tasted it before please do share with me....
