Food and Art

Hi There !

Im surprise after checking on my friends social media.. I know him for almost a year now.. and I know he loved to take pictures of his food creations. He started with just simple camera  Japanese lunch box or Bento, its look neat and to be honest.. it just exactly like Japanese who made those Bento's !

After Bento he tried other Asian foods and start to get profesional, and I just knew that making food pictures can be sooo.... interesting and need alot of details and tools not only a camera and of course time.. because you need to cook ( if you happen to make those food by yourself ) and of course the presentations, you can check on the tools here I post one of his picture while making it.

So beside the presentation, the way you capture the food and the most important thing is.. you need to put feeling to it... so the picture can speak by it self.. sometimes food pictures look neat.. nice colours..but people dont think its yummy or they dont want to have it for their lunch...well that is my opinions.. but Mark's pictures most of them make me want to have it on my table hehehe so.. I think he did it .... and he is making an Art :)

I will share the url of his pictures when he decide to show his food pictures for public.. for now.. here are some of his pictures.. from the simple picture ( Bento ) with simple camera to other high quality pictures :)

hope you all like it

Cewe umum *typical female*

Menarik untuk di bahas, setelah ngobrol - ngobrol sama seseorang nun jauh disana, jenis kelamin laki - laki.
Setelah ngobrol panjang, kalimat yang keluar adalah " kamu seperti kebanyakan cewe umum nya ya "
saya pun terdiam dan bingung... oh berarti turun deh 1 poin, ga pingin menganalisa, dan berpikir apa dibalik kata - kata itu... saya buat becanda aja... lalu dia kira saya ini bukan perempuan ? lantas banci ? saat dibalas seperti itu dia cuma diem aja...
kalau laki - laki bilang sulit mengerti wanita, boleh dong perempuan  berkata " bingung ngikutin pikiran pria " karena kalau kita seperti kebanyakan perempuan lantas dia berharap kita seperti apa dong ?
pelangiku hari ini memang bikin senyum senyum...

This is interesting, after talking to someone that live far away .... theres a time he said " I think you're a typical female " I get silent and confuse.. is this mean that I get bad impression ? wow... I dont want to analize, or think what behind his words, so I make a joke on that... " well what you think I am.... shemale ?" he didnt replied back... 
When a man said they facing hard time to understand women,  women sometimes get lost to understand men too.. when I remember his word about me as typical female... so what he expect me to be ?....
my rainbow of the day make me smiles....

Recipe: Rendang ( spicy beef )

Halooo
Hello

Kangen masak dan kangen dapur tua mama ku... jadilah bikin Rendang salah satu makanan kesukaan banyak orang di Indonesia, tapi resepnya lebih ke rasa makanan jawa karena lebih manis.. dibanding rasa asli rendang Sumatera yang lebih asin dan gurih... yuuk di tengok

I feel wanna cook, I miss cooking and my mom's old kitchen.. so here I make Rendang one of  Indonesian favorite food. but my recipe more to Javanese taste, since rendang is from Sumatera or Melayu... my rendang tastes more sweet than the regular rendang that is more salty and savory...

Rendang

Bahan  / ingredients

*1 kg Daging sapi has luar
1 kilo  beef meat 
*Santan dari 2 butir kelapa  ( kental, dan encer 2x saring )

1-2 teaspoon Salt

Pre heat the cooking oil, sauted the rendang spices and all the leafs and galangal until its smell good,  and change colour preferably using small fire, adding 1 glass of light coconut milk ( the one that we mixed with water if we use the instant coconut milk ), stirr it well dont let the coconut milk break until its boiled
2. lalu masukkan santan kental hingga mendidih lagi, tetap aduk2
lalu masukkan daging dan asam kandis  lalu masukkan gula jawa dan garam.
tetap aduk aduk agar santan tidak pecah.
Add the thick coconut milk and stirr well.. keep stirring we dont want to break the coconut milk, then adding the meat, tamarind, palm sugar and salt
3. tetap masak hingga santan mengental dan kering
Let it cook  until the coconut milk thicken and dry stirr it once in a while, it will not make the dish stick to the pan
4. lalu angkat dan hidangkan bentuk rendang akan gelap seperti gosong..itu hasil yg baik
Turn off the stove, and served. The dish will look dark almost like over cooked but that is the best result
5. tambahkan irisan cabai diatas rendang untuk hiasan atau bila ingin lebih pedas.
 Add slices chillies on top of rendang for garnish or when you want it to be more hots
6 Rendang makin enak setelah dipanaskan berkali2

Indonesian bloggers

Halaman ini akan di isi dengan tulisan yang singkat, pertanyaan yang mungkin ga penting banget untuk banyak orang.. tapi.. boleh dong aku tanya.. halaman pribadi ini... kenapa blogger blogger yang tinggal di Indonesia dan terkenal di Indonesia isi blog nya kebanyakan  pakai bahasa Inggris ?? apakah itu keharusan agar go International ? kenapa tidak mereka yang translate halaman blog kita ?

Menurut mu ?

This page will have short lines, a questions which may not be important to many people.. but I need to let it out.. why Indonesian bloggers who live and be famous in Indonesia many of them use English in their blogs why they are not use Bahasa and let other people who dont know our language translate to their language, google support that... is that " a must do " to be read internationaly ?

What do you think ?

Film - Film pengisi waktu * My Yesterday Marathon Movies *

Pembaca yang baik,..

Dear Readers,....

Setelah beberapa hari banyak banjir, pekerjaan banyak tertunda, hingga puncaknya kemarin 1 hari tidak bekerja sama sekali karena banyak hal yang tidak pasti..
Hal yang tidak biasa mendapat waktu untuk diri sendiri di hari kerja.. biasanya weekend, akhirnya saya menghabiskan waktu dengan nonton film - film koleksi saya yang belum sempat saya tonton ( hihih buang uang sekali ya hoho ho...) Going The Distance, The Vow dan The Serendipity adalah film yang jadi pilhian

After having a lot of rains and floods everywhere especialy in Jakarta... I decide to not working yesterday, a day that I spent my ME time, the unussual day to spent Me time.
Having this movie marathons, it is interesting from "Going the distance ", The vow " and " The Serendipity "
I bought the dvd's but just had the change to watch it now... what a waste...hehehe

Dari semua film itu, favorite saya The Vow, memang sangat drama, dan tipikal film yang disukai perempuan, tapi sebenarnya pilihan saya bukan karena alasan itu, tapi lebih karena melalui The Vow saya mengambil cuplikan kalimat dari film itu yang menarik yaitu
" hidup adalah saat "  atau sesaat.. dimana menit itu detik itu lah yang bisa kita nikmati atau rasakan... tidak abadi.
" Apa yang terjadi bila kita lupa akan semua kesan yang kita ingat tentang seseorang yang kita cintai.. sehingga hilang pula rasa cinta "
kesimpulan terakhir saya tentang cinta dan pengertian setia dari semua film ini adalah " cinta itu keinginan kuat seseorang untuk terus berusaha jatuh cinta pada orang yang sama, berkali - kali hingga akhir waktu "

From all those movies, I like The Vow most of all... I know its women favorites movies, drama thing.. but actualy theres reason why I choose that.. I have few lines from the movie that I like 
" life is a moment "
" what will happen when someone forget all the memory of someone they love, they dont love anymore "
so.. I think from those 3 I have my own definitions of  love and its can be the meaning of faithful.
" Love is willingness of someone to make themselves fall in love to the same person, time to time "

Love,
-D-

mmmh nulis apa ya enaknya..... menurut saya bekerja di Fashion itu menyenangkan, dan selalu membuat saya bersemangat, bukan karena nilai uangnya.. tapi karena saya suka sama bidangnya.. itu yang membuat saya merasa "penuh" walau penjualan menurun atau sedang naik.. ga ada bedanya.. saya tetap menyenanginya, tapi tetap saja ada stress.. apalagi kalau ada tenggat waktu.. dan 2 hal ini yang selalu membuat saya merasa terhibur,  IMO messenger dan es krim,  kenapa IMO messenger, karena disana saya bisa lihat - lihat postingan orang - orang dari berbagai macam budaya, menarik dan buat saya terhibur...bisa kasih tag dan komen juga... asik rasanya.... sudah tau belum tentang IMO ? belum tau ? coba cek di google play store kamu atau di App store untuk ikutan gabung...
Dan dua hal ini adalah senjata ampuh saya kalau lagi stress.. partner atau pacar tidak masuk hitungan ya.. ha ha ha..
The topic is no topic.. so I can write about almost anything to this blank page...I would like to say ..... working in fashion to me its fun.. looking at those gorgeous bags, cute dresses.. colours etc.. but when it time to deadline.. its just same as other works... my best friend to this situation is this two... IMO messenger and comfort foods.. in this case is ice cream. 
why I put IMO in here.. its because I can see other people broadcasts, and it's interesting.. it is just like Google+  people can post anything there.. tag and give comments and you dont have to join communities to get their updates.. its just like you are standing in the middle of a lot of people with different faces and cultures.. how fun is that... have you know about IMO ? you can look at your google play store or App store for joining.. 
These 2 are comforting tools when Im stress... no boyfriend and partner allowed ha ha ha

Dan selalu berakhir dengan makanan... karena makanan itu kebutuhan yang dasar.. jadi... hari ini saya mau tunjukkan salah satu snack asli buatan Indonesia yang  saya suka lumayan sehat karena dari sayur, yaitu keripik bayam... untuk warga Indonesia rasanya semua sudah tahu ya... bisa di beli di toko - toko makanan kecil di mana aja selama di Indonesia... rasanya kriuk dan gurih.. bikin nagih...lol

Talking about food is always interest me... eating is basic need.. so I want to show you our traditional snack, it's fried spinach...... it's tasty and crunchy.... I think it's healthy too.. since vegetables as main ingredients... for Indonesian, its easy to look this kind of snack... they  are available in our stores and this yummy snack is addictive lol

Saya harap tulisan saya ini menarik, sampai bertemu di tulisan berikutnya ya... semoga bahagia selalu :)

I hope you all enjoying reading my blogs... until next time... take care and be happy :)

Selfie ?

Haloo ...
Hello Readers,

Kata hari ini adalah Selfie ? atau Silvie ? hehehe
Apakah selfie itu ? hingga banyak orang melakukannya bahkan Presiden Amerika Serikat pun ber selfie... kalau di urut dari kata - katanya Selfie berasal dari Self.. atau diri sendiri.. mungkin bermaksud dengan foto yang isinya hanya diri sendiri tidak ada orang lain dan di unggah ke sosial media sehingga di lihat banyak orang.

Today's word is Selfie, what is Selfie ? or its a name of  Selvy ? hehehe
A lot of people doing selfie, even President of  The United State of America has it. 
Selfie stand from the word Self mean yourself, so in the picture only you and no one else, and you post it to public by social media.

Menurut saya, seseorang yang melakukan Selfie harus memiliki kepercayaan diri yang besar, khususnya bila foto tersebut di unggah ke sosial media yang banyak pengikutnya, apakaih itu foto yang baik atau foto yang vilgar, dan siap untuk mendapat pujian maupun makian...bagaimana dengan anda?  sudahkah anda berselfie?

Doing Selfie  need confidence, especialy when you post the pictures to public and seen by a lot of peoples from different background and cultures, whether its good pose or bad, can cause many interpretations, and will get different reactions, and you need to be ready for it. so.. how about you ? have you selfie today ?

Ini selfie saya :) seperti apa selfie anda ? kalau bisa di bagi.. gunakan kolom comment di bawah ini :)

This is my selfie :) what about you ? if you like to share, theres comment box down below to share your picture :)

Daging stik Cube roll / Cube roll meat

Voila...  

Resep / Recipe ( please use the translation my english need a lot of improvement pardon me )

Bahan / Ingredients
* Daging steak yang sudah di potong ( biasanya sudah di pak )
* Cube roll meat or any kind of meat for steak ( in pack )
* 2 sdt mustard
*  2 tea spoon mustard
* 1 - 2 sendok makan minyak zaitun
* 1 - 2 table spoon olive oil

Cara membuat  / How to 

* Daging yang baru saja di beli di buka dari pak, dan diamkan di diatas piring, agar suhu daging sama seperti temperatur ruangan , sama juga bila kita sudah membekukan daging.. diamkan agar es pada daging hilang bila perlu taruh diatas saringan agar air dari daging hilang.atau tekan - tekan daging dengan tisu kering agar air hilang sebelum digunakan.

*Unpacked the meat, let it rest on a plate if its frozen do the same thing until the meat get the room temperature, dont let the meat get  watery, if that happens, use a kitchen towel or tissue to wipe the water by patting the meat. 

* Lumuri kedua sisi daging dengan 1 sendok teh mustard di tiap sisinya, bila daging tebal 1 sendok teh mustard cukup, bila daging termasuk tipis, 1/2 sendok teh saja karena rasa mustard sudah tajam dan daging bisa terasa keasinan lalu diamkan sekitar 5 menit atau lebih.

* Coat of  meat with mustard, 1 teaspoon of mustard on each side when the meat thick, but when its thinner, less than 1 teaspon would be enough, because of  the strong flavour of the mustard will make the meat saltier  if you give it too much, then let the meat to rest about 5 min or more.

* Panaskan panggangan, atau pan teflon, panggangan bisa di olesi sedikit minyak zaitun agar daging tidak lengket, kali ni saya menggunakan pan teflon yang telah diberi sedikit minyak zaitun ( secukupnya namun rata ke seluruh area wajan ) setelah panas masukkan daging, saat daging dimasukkan akan banyak mengeluarkan asap atau bunyi berdesis, sebaiknya api di kecilkan sedikit, diamkan sekitar 5 menit, biarkan daging jangan di tusuk - tusuk dengan garpu ( kebiasaan yang ternyata kurang baik kalau untuk buat steak karena akan membuat daging menjadi keras di dalam dan rasa hilang karena panas ) 

baru balikkan sisi daging  boleh di tekan - tekan daging dengan spatula atau capitan  hingga air dari daging keluar dan mengeluarkan suara desis... bila ingin medium setelah 5 menit angkat daging, namun bila ingin matang seluruhnya diamkan lebih lama diatas panggangan atau pan teflon hingga daging agak keras ( tanda sudah matang ) caranya tekan daging dengan capitan atau spatula kayu  bila sudah terasa keras lalu angkat, diamkan diatas piring, tuang saus hasil dari memanggang  dan beri sayuran rebus yg sudah di tumis dengan mentega . selamat menikmati 

* Preheat the grill or sauce pan, this time I use sauce pan give a little bit olive oil to the grill or sauce pan ( spray cooking oil ) so the meat wont stick on the surface, then place the meat. There will be alot of smoke coming out.. I prefer to lower the temperatur when that happen. let it for 5 min one side reversed to the other side with tweezer and wait for another 5 min, if you like medium rare, this 10 min for 2 side would be enough, but if you like welldone steak you still need more minutes, when you tap the meat it feel hard, its the sign that inside of the meat is already cook or welldone. take the meat out of the grill or pan, put on plate, let it rest for a minutes, pour the juice that comes out when we grilled on the meat ( if youe happen to use the pan ) and served with boiled vegetables that already being stir-fry with butter... 

hope you like it.. happy eating !
