Spicy Honey Garlic Grilled Corn on the cob

Selam everybody...... Merhaba from Turkey.

I have sweet memories quite attached until now about grilled corn on the cob. 

This grilled corn is one of the foods which was familiar to me since childhood. I remember every evening after learnt reading Qur'an, in front of that small mosque (masjid) there was always a lot of people selling various traditional snacks at that time including grilled corn.

The seller always sold very warm grilled corn fresh from charcoal placed on wide plate-a like pottery. Corns were grilled directly over the charcoal, and once in a while there was a sound  "pletak..pletak..pletak" came from busted corn kernels. Kids mostly surrounded the seller really close to the charcoal .. so when there was a spark from the charcoal we were all simultaneously moving backward while shouting and giggled.

Grilled corn on the cob in Indonesia mostly open their stall as street food and the number of them become double when cold rainy season comes. Different from my childhood, grilled corn now days varied with dozen of flavor basting over the grilled corn. Start from sweet and sour, hot spicy, cheesy savory, buttery garlic sauce and much more. I tried them all and I love them all!

So here I am..with unmistakeable taste of summer – grilled corn on the cob with my fave spicy honey garlic sauce.

Merhaba From Türkiye 👋

Beside kecap manis/ sweet soy sauce and spicy chili sauce, teriyaki sauce is the staple sauce in my pantry. Those sauces I can use for almost any cook at any emergency time.

Anytime I back home visiting my family in Indonesia I usually bring some local product of teriyaki sauce and some other sauce. As Indonesian and Asian I have already gotten used to that local product name "saori". I think it's a local product with a Japanese license.

Of course, here there is some imported product as well and I already tested and compare some other teriyaki sauce with "saori" but still, I prefer my own teriyaki sauce taste.

And after some experiments tried to copy the taste of my fave teriyaki sauce so here is my recipe base on my preferred taste and as close as possible to that brand.

This recipe makes about 600 ml, you can half or double the recipe.

Merhaba From Türkiye 👋

What is labneh cheese? it's yogurt that has been strained to remove its whey, resulting in a thicker consistency than unstrained yogurt. Due to the straining process to remove excess whey, even non-fat varieties of strained yogurt are much thicker, richer, and creamier than yogurts that have not been strained.

In Turkey, strained yogurt is known as süzme yoğurt ("strained yogurt") or kese yoğurdu ("bag yogurt"). Water is sometimes added to it in the preparation of cacık, when this is not eaten as a meze but consumed as a beverage. Strained yogurt is used in Turkish mezzes and dips such as haydari.

In Turkish markets, labne is also a popular as dairy product but it is different from strained yogurt; it is yogurt-based creamy cheese without salt, and is used like mascarpone.

Strained yogurt

Frankly speaking, I use this labneh cheese from strained yogurt a lot in my daily cook. Since cold soup made from this süzme yoğurt ("strained yogurt") until dessert. And I am pretty satisfied with using it. Beside richer in texture, I can reduce the sourness in it, so creamy yet healthy.

Kaastengels bunga / Kaastengels cookies, Indonesian classic cookies

Selam everybody..Merhaba from Turkey.

Kastengel or kue keju is Dutch-Indonesian cheese cookie in the form of stick, commonly found in the Netherlands and Indonesia. The name describe its ingredients, shape and origin; kaas is Dutch word for "cheese", while stengels is also Dutch word for "stick". Unlike most cookies, kaasstengels taste savoury and salty instead of sweet. 

In Indonesia, owed to its colonial links to the Netherlands, kaasstengels, together with nastar and kue putri salju are the popular kue kering (dried kue or cookie) during festive occasion, such as Natal (Christmas) and Lebaran(Eid al Fitr).

Kaastengels on the other hand, refer to Dutch hapjes (snacks) of "cheese-fingers", derived from Dutch kaas (cheese) and tengels (fingers). It is a small spring roll or loempia-like crepe of the size of a finger, filled with gouda or edam cheese, which have been deep fried and served with a small bowl of a spicy chili sauce.

Even though it derived from Dutch, Indonesian kaastengels cookie a bit different from the Dutch version which is fried. But still it's cheesy snacks and it's gooooddd!

And today I am going to share my kaastengels but on flower shape, so maybe the name become kaas-bloeien (flower) not kaastengels anymore...... 😂
anyone know Dutch language? (^,^) correct me if I'm wrong.

ALso you can check my previous classic kaastengels here.

Indonesian cold beverage "es doger" / Es Doger Tape ketan hitam

Recipe in English please scroll down

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

Postingan hari ini adalah es tape ketan hitam a la Es Doger. 
Saat ini di Turki sedang puncaknya musim panas, dimana suhu bisa mencapai 40°C dengan kelembaban yang tinggi. Jadi malleessss banget mau ngapa-ngapain. Kalau ingin keluar rumah- untuk belanja atau ngantar anak ke taman atau sekedar cari "fresh air"- kita biasa nunggu sekitar pukul 6 sore atau 7. 
Jam 6 atau jam 7 sore, matahari masih bersinar kalau musim panas seperti sekarang. Jam 9 malam baru matahari terbenam dan udara mulai segar.

Jadi pengen yang serba segar. Mulai makanan yang serba sayuran segar, sampai pencuci mulut yang fruity. Naahhh.... karena saya punya stock tape ketan hitam yang saya buat sebelumnya, saya pengen bikin yang menyegarkan yang juga ada tape ketan hitamnya.

Dan lagi kepengeeeennn banget minum es doger. Jadi keingetan dulu jaman bebujangan pas ge-kost di daerah Menteng, sering minum es doger yang suka lewat depan rumah. Versi asli es doger yang di jakarta sih terdiri dari tape singkong, ketan hitam dan biji mutiara dengan serutan es santan yang gurih, diberi sirup gula (warna merah) lalu disiram susu kental manis yang banyak. Kadang suka ada serutan kelapa mudanya, tapi seringnya ya begitu aja.....hhmmm..... segar kan? (^,^)

Merhaba From Türkiye 👋

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

Summer peak here in Bursa. With dry, no wind, and high humidity, I always find something to refresh our weekend dessert. And what do you think about fresh cold and fruity dessert? 
And peach is everywhere now. I like the sweet with lightly sour of it. I can eat it just like that, with my own spicy sour palm sugar sauce, sometimes.

Pity, my husband doesn't like peach so much. He is just like my kid who eat some fruits after I cook into something that makes the fruits "disappear" or turn into something looks scrumptious for them. I'm telling you.... I am dealing with "two kids" when it comes to food.. picky..picky and picky..both my kid and hubby... sssgggh.

So I decided to make panna cotta as his favorite, and my kid would like something like pudding for her (^,^)  This dessert base on my previous strawberry cheese panna cotta I made before. I recommend you to make it as well since for me it's my best panna cotta dessert.

This rich and delicious peach cheese panna cotta become an additional new dessert menu on our table now. You just simply vary with your favorite fruits. The cream cheese makes this dessert definitely be a repeatable menu for your family. 
Serve up this delish tasty dessert to refresh your summer with family and friends.

Membuat tape ketan hitam / Fermented black glutinous rice (tapai)

For English please scroll down








Assalamu'alaikum... Merhaba dari Turkey

Kali ini saya akan bagikan cara membuat tape ketan hitam. Saya suka sekali tape ketan hitam ini ~ selain tape singkong tentunya. Tapi sayang sekali tidak ada singkong di Turki jadi gak bisa bikin tape singkong.

Saya selalu bikin tape ketan hitam ini tiap 6 bulan sekali pas mendekati musim panas, sebab suka banget dibikin es tape ketan a la es doger. Atau bikin pas bulan Ramadhan untuk saya bikin madumongso...tahu kan madumongso?? itu lho..semacam jenang yang dibungkus macam permen... jajanan jadul khas embah saya dulu. Insyaalloh bikin madumongso juga ntar saya posying juga.

Tapi hari ini saya postingkan cara membuat tape ketan hitam dulu ya. Bikinnya gampang kok, tidak serumit yang kita bayangkan.

Untuk membuat tape katan hitam ini, beras ketannya saya kukus saja, jadi tidak terlalu lembek. Tapi selama proses pengukusan sering-sering dipercik'i air secara merata dan kukus hingga beras ketan hitamnya mengembang hampir dua kali lipat dan lunak tapi tidak lembek.
