Far away they sailed to found and dominate Indonesian spices which the value as high as gold at that time.

A chiffon cake combines methods used with sponge cakes and conventional cakes. It includes baking powder and vegetable oil, but the eggs are separated and the whites are beaten before being folded into the batter, creating a rich flavor like an oil cake, but with a lighter texture that is more like a sponge cake.

The cake tin is not lined or greased, which enables the cake batter to stick to the side of the pan, giving the cake better leverage to rise, as well as support in the cooling process when the cake is turned upside down to keep air bubbles stable.

Chiffon cake is such a beautiful and easy cake to make and widely can vary in flavor we like. Check also my hearty spinach chiffon cake also, you gonna love it and your kid will never notice they eat vegetables in their cake too.

Islak Hamburger / Istanbul street food; "Wet Burger"

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 on 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 😍💛

Istanbul not only famous for its historical and beautiful places. It is also famous for its delicious and unforgettable traditional cuisine which around centuries ago. Also as a tourism city, Istanbul grows as a street food-city as well. When you visit Istanbul, you should try "Kumpir" or baked potato stuffed with dozens of vegetables and some protein such as boiled egg and sausage. It is easy to find this "kumpir" all around Istanbul but famous spots are in Ortaköy area or Beyoğlu area. For a homemade version, you can check my "kumpir recipe" here.

But if you are in Eminönü area, you should love another street food there "balık ekmek" or Fish sandwich in Turkish style.

If you watch "No reservation with Anthony Bourdain", you might see in one episode while he was visiting Istanbul and tried one street food at famous Taksim street-- Islak hamburger.

So today I will share that Istanbul street food delicacy.

Islak hamburger (or just ıslak burger) literally means wet hamburger. Sounds funny? maybe not. Cause this burger is actually wet and moist.

So what is "ıslak burger"?

It's one of our street flavors that many Istanbul residents are addicted to. A miraculous invention that looks like a shrunken hamburger from a distance 😃. Not really a "photographic" meal to show in your ınstagram post either. But we never doubt to call it "hamburger" cause, after all, it consists of a meatball between that hamburger bun.
