Tongue meat is rich in calories and fatty acids, as well as zinc, iron, choline, and vitamin B12. ... Folate is the vitamin in organ meats considered beneficial for fertility and for helping avoid fetal defects in a baby, such as spina bifida and heart problems

Tongue is a very well-used muscle and it needs to be cooked for a long time over low heat to become tender, and it can be very tasty.
So if you want to try this recipe, you should have a pre-cooked beef tongue. How to cook/prepare beef( ox) tongue see this link here

Classic Fruits Cake

Hello everybody..........
Merhaba from Türkiye 👋

Hope this post meets you in healthy, happy and wonderful life ☙

Did you have idea for your holiday table coming soon? Maybe this Classic Fruitcake could be your new favorite menu.
İt's moist, full with many dried fruits, and do not skip the spices aroma which definitely reminds you of the real holiday in a place called HOME 🏡💟

A fruitcake should be rich, it should taste like dried fruit and spices. My fruitcake uses raisins, canned cherries, diced dried apricots, dates, and some orange juice with dark brown sugar and some spice. Pinch of salt in this recipe could bring up every sweet and sour from the fruits and compact the cake to perfection every bites. It should be dense and moist crumb.

Another homemade noodle! ... yaayy....
After my last spinach homemade noodle, I and my little girl can not stop to make another experience with homemade noodles.
İf you are my regular reader you might remember my very old post of making this egg noodle here and here
At that time I didn't use a pasta machine to make these egg noodles. 

But today's egg noodle is slightly different in ingredients. Instead of using a whole egg, today I use only egg white. If you can find duck egg that's even better, unfortunately, I hardly can find duck eggs in my local market. I heard duck egg can add a springy and chewy texture to noodles.

But it's okay also if you just use chicken egg, follow my step here and you will get the right texture you want. The key here is not to make your dough too wet. Just enough wet ingredients to pull all flour together- incorporate any clumps of dry flour, that's all. You don't have to knead the dough too much cause it will be very hard to knead.

The kneading process is actually on the rolling process. So we must roll it again and again until the strong gluten develops and gives the chewy texture.



What is noodle? noodle made from an unleavened dough of a strong wheat flour mixed with water or eggs and formed into sheets or various shapes, then cooked by boiling or baking. In Asia there are many kind of noodle-based on ingredients, there is an egg noodles, rice noodle, or glass noodle made from starch (such as mung bean starch, yam, potato starch, or cassava starch), and water.

Turkish Breakfast bread with potato filling / Patates Poğaça



Pogačice (diminutive of pogača) is a type of pastry. Pogača, Poğaça or Pogacha (Cyrillic: Πогача) is a type of pastry eaten in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Republic of Macedonia, Serbia (in Serbia, traditional in Belgrade bakeries), Montenegro, Hungary, Greece (where its called Bogatsa Μπογατσα) and Turkey (where it is called poğaça) with variations. It is called pogatschen in Austria.

Mostly eaten for breakfast but also as appetizer during noon together with Turkish bulgur salad (kısır), or potato salad and hot tea.

STRAWBERRY CHIFFON CAKE, best recipe from fresh strawberry

Weekend in my house means "cake day" or "more snack" day. Because mostly I bake a cake or make another special dessert at weekend. When all family stays at home the whole day.
Even sometimes I bake a cake at weekday but mostly end up keeping at refrigerator cause after dinner my husband doesn't want to eat cake. We prefer to have something light and creamy like milk pudding or bake rice pudding.

It has been a while I didn't post any chiffon cake again after my last "Pandan Chiffon cake". So for my weekend baking, today is this yummy, cotton soft, and good looking strawberry chiffon cake. A very light spongy cake with a soft crumb, made from fresh strawberry. I like chiffon cake and my kid loves it so much. The light of the cake is so perfect for our tea time. You'll not feel too full that's why you can not eat only one slice 😏

We have bread as well mostly soft bread and it tastes somehow sweet. And we eat soft bread generally for snacking between the main mealtime or in our breakfast. 

Our bread mostly has various sweet toppings or filling even some use sausage and cheese as filling or topping.

Merhaba from Türkiye 👋 

Indonesia has many....probably hundreds of variants of snacks. Start from traditional snacks e.g many kinds of kueh basah (literally means wet / moist snacks), fried snacks (in Indonesian call gorengan) and other type of jajanan (snacks) mostly known as street food/ snack; for example batagor, siomay, kerak telur and more. 
Kueh basah are more often steamed than baked and normally have a sweet taste, but some are savory as well. But not all of them using a steamed method, named kue basah mostly because they are moist. 

Just like what İ want to share today. İt's including in kue basah- calls "Bolu kukus mekar". İt's a cup cake-like, cooked by steam process instead of bake in oven.  We call it "Bolu Kukus Mekar" in Indonesian language. Bolu means cake, Kukus= Steamed and "Mekar" means blooming like a flower. 
As you can see on my pictures here the steamed cup cake has crack surface like blooming.
This is also one of Indonesian traditional snack that been exist from long time ago.

Hello everybody.......
Merhaba from Türkiye 👋

Baking bread is an almost daily routine for me. Any kind of bread, Asian style soft bread until artisan European style bread with chewy texture cause my husband is a bread eater. 
My kid, she enjoys everything. She can enjoy food from my culture as much as she likes Turkish food.
Me as Asian, mostly consume rice or noodle but of course, I can not resist hearty warm delicious soup with warm bread in chill days 😍

And since she started school a few years ago, baking burger bun is become my routine for her lunch box or sometimes for the fathers too.
And just today I want to share also with you since I have documented in pictures this time. This recipe I use for few years already and it works for me and turns into nice beautiful buns just like storebought.

You can check my other Bread recipe at Bread/ Bun category.

For you who never bake bread or bun before this recipe might be very easy for you to start. Here I make my own burger rings to get nice shape when it bakes but of course it's optional for you. İf you bake your own buns very often this ring pretty much help. You can get it ready at baking store but I prefer make them by my self.

You may agree that chicken is the cheapest protein source that we cook and eat daily. 
Same here at my house, my kid, and I love chicken so much.

So if you are Asian food lover... you should have that sauce also in your pantry. You will ready anytime whenever you have Asian food party 😍

Fırın Sütlaç or baked rice pudding, is one famous traditional dessert from Turkey. Served much better after keeping in the fridge to develop the texture and taste.
Some recipes can vary from one cookbook to another. Some people may add cornstarch or rice flour to their recipe. And mostly we use damla sakızı or mastic gum for this dessert. You can check my previous post for version using mastic gum here.

Another type of  Sütlaç is nonbake, but both are just great. Try it and I believe your family will like it as well.

Assalamu'alaykum.........Merhaba dari Türki semuanya 👋

Apa kabar semuanya? ... Semoga dalam keadaan sehat dan berbahagia ya. Juga saya ingin ucapan selamat menunaikan İbadah puasa ya bagi teman muslim sekalian. 

Ramadhan tahun ini msh jatuh di musim panas, tp udah bergeser ke bulan Mei yang hawanya tidak terlalu panas... karena mungkin masih deket-deket musim semi ya. 
10 thn lalu, Ramadhan pertama saya di Turki jatuh bulan Agustus, puncak musim panas yg panasnya bisa sampai 42℃ diluar rumah. 
Puasa hari ini dimulai saat fajr pukul 03.41 pagi dan iftar nanti inshaallah pkl 20.30 malam. Jadi praktis kita berpuasa 17 jam . Tiap hari ada pergeseran waktu 1 atau 2 menit  waktu puasanya menjadi lebih lama.
Tadi pas ke pasar pukul 1 siang suhu diluar 30℃, tapi angin masih lumayan sepoi jadi tak terlalu panas.


Sebenarnya kalau Ramadhan saya cenderung malas makan, maunya buka cuman dengan minuman yang segar saja..sudah terasa kenyang. Tapi kan harus makan ya buat energi siang hari. Jadi saya masak kesukaan saya saja biar nafsu makan ada 😊 . İtupun saya makannya habis sholat İsya' jam 12 malam gitu deh.
Jadilah saya masak Lontong kikil ini, kebetulan anak sayapun suka, sampai mau nambah-nambah kalau makan 😤. 

Karena saya asli surabaya jadi saya bikin lontong kikil ini yang khas Surabaya ya. Tapi memang masakan kikil yang terkenal ya dari Surabaya ya.

Lontongnya saya bikin malam sebelumnya. Untuk yang ingin tahu bagaimana cara membuat lontong pakai magic com bisa dilihat di link ini ya. Tapi saya kali ini bikin lontongnya gak paka magic com, tapi pakai plastik saja.

This dessert well know from city of Bursa, where I am living. Everybody know and love this milk pudding. Every kids grow up with this simple yet delicious dessert. Beside Fırın Sütlaç or other sweets, this süt helvası is always on iftar menu in every Turkish family.


Ramadhan Mübarek for you my friends who celebrating Ramadan feast this month. Wishing you and your family a blessed and joyful Ramadhan.... May Allah accept all your prayers in this holy month.

Ramadhan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and the month in which the Quran was revealed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Fasting during the month of Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The month is spent by Muslims fasting during the daylight hours from dawn to sunset.



This dessert well know from city of Bursa, where I am living. Everybody know and love this milk pudding. Every kids grow up with this simple yet delicious dessert. Beside Fırın Sütlaç or other sweets, this süt helvası is always on iftar menu in every Turkish family.

During Ramadan, two main meal are served. İftar, is the meal to break the fast after sunset. Typically, people will enjoy dates, dried apricots and Ramadan juices, before heading to evening prayer.
And Suhoor is a meal taken just before sunrise (the fajr), before the day of fasting starts.


Ramadan is known for its wide variety of irresistible meals as an iftar. And it cannot be completed without having dessert or sweets. I know, in Ramadhan we should prepare our body and soul more on ibadah than cooking but as a mother we should also provide our family with good quality of food during Ramadhan.
