Celebrating Eidul Fitr (Ramazan Bayram) and also My kid's 2nd B'day

Happy Eid al Fitr 1435 H for you who celebrate it. 

This Eid al Fitr 2014 is the happiest and memorable moment for me. After more than 5 times celebrated Eid in Turkey, this is the first time I feel like celebrate Eid al Fitr in my own country. Many my Indonesian fellow came to visit with their family. Some students who study here also came to visit.. to tied more closely relationship.

Beside that memorable Eid al Fitr, this year coincide with  my lovely baby's birthday, Sahnaz Kale this July turns 2! .. Time feel too fast passing by.. I still feel I just born her few months ago..now she turns 2 !

Two happy reasons (Eid al Fitr and my princess' B'day) is enough for me to celebrate it, just simple celebration. We invited some Indonesian to spend happy moment with simple Indonesian and Turkish Foods.

Like normally b'day party I also made one simple b'day cake for my daughter. This chocolate cake  made from 1 recipe of steamed chocolate sponge cake and 1 recipe chocolate brownie recipe steamed with simple fondant decoration. And chocolate frosting recipe here.

Peynirli Yumurtalı Pide / Turkish Pide bread with cheese and egg topping

In Turkey, pita (called pide) has a soft, chewy texture. The pizza-like foods called lahmacun are made with oval-shaped pieces of pide dough topped with finely chopped meat and herbs before baking. Pide also refers to another pizza-like food made of pide dough topped with different ingredients. Regional variations in the shape, baking technique, and topped materials create distinctive styles for each region. Such pides can include chicken, beef, cheese, potatoes, garlic and many other ingredients. Beside Pide with meat topping, chicken topping, Turkish sausage topping, this time I made it with cheese and egg  topping. Also you can choose ayran for drink.

Serve: 8 pieces medium size

Crunchy Teriyaki Chicken Rice bowl / Ayam saus teriyaki

Selam everybody... Merhaba from Turkey

Suddenly missed and wanted to eat this food. This menu reminds me on typical menu of Japanese restaurant with a taste of Indonesia. If you live in Indonesia you will understand and know exactly the unique and characteristic of foods I mean. In Bursa, city I live now, as far as I know, it's hard to find a Japanese fast food restaurant .. maybe in starred hotel provides one or two Japanese food in their menu, mostly sushi-and I don't really like the taste...

Well, to ease sense of longing of Japanese food (with Indonesian taste), this Chicken rice bowl is enough to treat it .. Let's try it also in your kitchen. It won't disappoint you ...

Since this is my first attempt to make it, I didn't measure the exact amount of some ingredient... it's just simply according to my taste based on how it's real taste on my memory.

Serve about 2 portion

Ingredients A:

- Boneless chicken (about 300gr) thinly sliced, season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Hello everybody....Merhabalar..

                       
Hello everybody...I know.. I know..it has been ages I didn't post anything... For you (new readers of this page) maybe didn't know why, or my old blogger / foodies friends might just figure it out...yes since I was pregnant I didn't post regularly..... coz as you know, during my pregnancy I didn't want to go to my own kitchen or any other's one. My cake deflated, my cooking burnt, etc..so I couldn't post anything new in my blog... and also I was ssoo ssoo lazy doing anything. I just love to walk...walk around my city...lol
