Bak kwa, also known as rougan (Chinese: 肉干) or roupu (Chinese: 肉脯), is a Chinese salted dried meat product akin to jerky.

Even originating from China, Bak kwa is also popular in Singapore, Malaysia, and neighboring countries, especially during the Chinese New Year. 

This delicacy, introduced by Chinese immigrants, has adapted to local flavors. A distinctive feature is the preparation method, where the meat is charcoal-smoked rather than air-dried, giving it a unique smoky taste. The versions of bakkwa found in Singapore and Malaysia tend to be sweeter than those from mainland China, with a range of variations like chili bak kwa to suit local palates.

Did you eat beef/ cow skin before?

Or maybe you didn't know that beef/ cow skin can be so delicious when it is cooked properly.

Some countries like in Asia or Africa are familiar with this beef skin. Just like in Indonesia, mainly on Java island.

We called this beef/ cow skin "kerecek or krecek" in Java.

Krecek or kerecek can be made of cow or beef or buffalo skin. On islands like Bali-which mostly non-Muslim, they make "kerecek" from pig skin.

This "kerecek" is commonly found in Indonesian cuisine. We can find it fresh, clean, and ready-to-cook cow/beef skin in any traditional market.

Some are dried and can be fried as "kerupuk" or crackers.

What is "cilok"?

Cilok (from Sundanese language), is an Indonesian ball-shaped dumpling made from aci (tapioca starch). 

It's a Sundanese snack originating from West Java, Indonesia. 

In Sundanese language, cilok is an abbreviation of aci dicolok or "poked tapioca", since the tapioca balls are poked with lidi  (skewer made from the midrib of the coconut palm frond).

Cilok balls are boiled until cooked or deep fried in ample cooking oil and might be served with peanut sauce, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), sambal, or chili sauce.

The texture of cilok is quite chewy, its shape and texture are quite similar to Japanese dango, although almost all cilok variants are savory compared to sweet dango.

Cilok is a popular street snack, usually sold by traveling vendors using carts or bicycles frequenting residential areas, marketplace, busy street-side, or stationed in front of a school. The chewy tapioca balls with savory peanut sauce are a popular snack among Indonesian school children

Dumpling wrapper, wonton wrapper, or shumai (siomay) wrapper was something I could easily get anywhere when I was in Indonesia. So making any kind of dumpling was never difficult at that time.

But since I live here, those things are so fancy to get. Sometimes I must go to the biggest supermarket to find it and mostly can't find it. Once I got that dumpling wrapper ( in the frozen food section), it wasn't like I wanted it.

That is why I started to make my own dumpling wrapper at home. Actually, I already posted one recipe before

You may check my previous dumpling wrapper which I made before.

Rempeyek is derived from the Javanese onomatopoeia "peyek", depicting the sound of a crisp cracker breaking.

Rempeyek is often associated with Javanese cuisine, served to accompany "pecel/ petjel" (vegetables in peanut sauce) or other meals, or as a snack. Today, it is common throughout Indonesia, and is also popular in Malaysia following the migration of Javanese immigrants in the early 19th century.

It's my favorite cracker. Made from rice flour with some spices and fried in deep oil. The frying and making methods are typical and very unique. That is, on a deep frying wok, spread out the batter dough on the edge of the wok until it produces a very thin layer of cracker, I made a simple video also to give you an illustration of how to make this unique and traditional Indonesian "rempeyek".

Topping can vary from peanuts, green beans, black eye beans, small soybean, or dried small anchovies until dried small shrimp. A little tricky and need more patience in making it.

Most of the time, the word "börek" is accompanied in Turkish by a descriptive word referring to the shape, ingredients of the pastry, the cooking methods, or for or a specific region where it is typically prepared.

In Turkey, we know many varieties of börek depends it filling and how to make it. 

Su böreği  literally means 'water börek' is one of the most common types. Layers of dough are boiled briefly in hot water, then a mixture of feta cheese, parsley, and oil is scattered between the layers. The whole thing is brushed with butter and laid in a masonry oven (we call it taş fırını) to cook.

For example we have Gül böreği  or 'rose börek', also known as Yuvarlak böreği  or 'round or spiral börek' in English, which are rolled into small spirals.

Çiğ börek or Çibörek or 'raw börek' is a half-round shaped börek, filled with raw minced meat and fried in oil on the concave side of the sac, very popular in places with a thriving Tatar community, such as Eskişehir, Polatlı, and Konya.

We call it "singkong" or "ubi kayu" in the Indonesian language.

Cassava or another name is yuca. It is long and tapered, with a firm, homogeneous flesh encased in a detachable rind, about 1 mm thick, rough and brown on the outside. Commercial cultivars can be 5 to 10 centimeters (2 to 4 inches) in diameter at the top, and around 15 to 30 cm (6 to 12 in) long. A woody vascular bundle runs along the root's axis. 

The flesh can be chalk-white or yellowish. Cassava roots are very rich in starch and contain small amounts of calcium (16 mg/100 g), phosphorus (27 mg/100 g), and vitamin C (20.6 mg/100 g).

However, they are poor in protein and other nutrients. In contrast, cassava leaves are a good source of protein (rich in lysine), but deficient in the amino acid methionine and possibly tryptophan.

It is grown in tropical regions of the world because of its ability to withstand difficult growing conditions — in fact, it’s one of the most drought-tolerant crops.

Are important sources of food in the tropics. Worldwide, 800 million people depend on cassava as their primary food staple.

Cassava is a versatile root vegetable that is consumed in several parts of the world. It must be cooked before it is eaten.

This is the first madeleine I baked. Why? no other reason than I just owned the pan recently after years of searching in the local market here. Madeleine, it's not common here in Turkey so finding madeleine pan is difficult as finding a wallet where I forget to put 😊

I was trying to purchase this pan for few years here, but then I just found it online this year. And I just get this deep madeleine mold with shell shape. Mostly shallow model here is made of silicon which I am not sure it's heatproof or good enough to bake madeleine. I will try to buy that later after I try this deep madeleine pan 1st.

Indonesian call this "bolu kering" means dry cake. "Dry" because the texture indeed dry outside, almost like a cookie.

And this vintage cake has been around for a long time. From several sources, this "Bolu" cake was very popular in the 1960s. The cake has various forms, some are fish, oval, or flower-shaped, and mostly has mini size.

The texture of this cake is a bit rough, a bit dry outside but moist inside. But it's super tasty and has a very distinctive aroma. Its light taste and small shape make it perfect for snacking.

Traditionally this mini cake consists of only 3 ingredients; eggs, sugar, and flour. Old recipes require emulsifiers too and for adding the aroma we use vanilla extract/ essence. 

The process also simple, just whisk the eggs and sugar until stiff then adding flour.

But today I will not share the traditional version.

Still in Ramazan spirit, wish you my Muslim friends Ramadan Mubarek 🙏
During Ramadan, Muslim households will fast till dusk falls and break the fast with an iftar meal.
In Indonesia mostly we make or buy snack to enjoy during iftar, we call it Ta'jil (read; taqjeel). Ta'jil itself comes from Arabic language means to fast-breaking, so it has nothing to do with the food. But in Indonesia, the term ta'jil is becoming commonly used as an expression of usually sweet iftar appetizers. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w gave the example of eating dates as the beginning of iftar.

For Indonesian sweet appetizer ideas, you can check my  Indonesian glutinous balls sweet porridge. Indonesian cold beverage "es doger" / Es Doger Tape ketan hitam, Indonesian Black glutinous rice porridge in coconut sauce, and more. Just check Indonesian Food category and Indonesian Snack (Kue).

Kue is an Indonesian bite-sized snack or dessert food. Kue is a fairly broad term in Indonesian to describe a wide variety of snacks; cakes, cookies, fritters, pies, scones, and patisserie. Kue is made from a variety of ingredients in various forms, some are steamed, fried, or baked. Kue are popular snacks in Indonesia, which has the largest variety of kue.

Pukis is made from yeast mixture, egg, sugar, flour, and coconut milk. The mixture then poured into a half-moon mold and baked over a fire stove (not an oven). The traditional way, it's cooked over charcoal.
