Eetlust!!

The moment during PMS makes me want to eat a LOT!
I've been dreaming of eating many kinds of foods, but lately I want fish.
I got the Mr. Fishy, it's a pack of a group of baby fish. However, I haven't cooked them until now.
They are still relaxing themselves in my fridge.
All I've cooked are beef and shrimps. I cooked them in the slight same way though.
First the beef. We call the meal "Daging Tuturuga". The spices are basically, as I know, for cooking sea turtle but since I don't eat one and I only got the beef so I tried to cook it. Here are the spices:
Turmeric (2 cm)
Pepper (1 tsp)
Salt (1 tsp)
Chili (5 pcs)
Coconut milk (100 ml)
Coconut oil (2 tbsp)
Lime leaves (2 leaves, minced)
Ginger (2 cm)
Beef (200 gr)
Garlic (2 cloves)
Red onion (2 cloves)
Hazelnut (4 cloves)
Potatoes (1, if you use the big one)
Water (500 ml)

How to cook:
  • Cut the beef and potatoes into dices then put them in a bowl.
  • Roast the hazelnuts for about 1 minute.
  • Grind hazelnuts, ginger, turmeric, chili, onion, garlic and pepper together.
  • Heat the oil on a pan, then put the seasoning that you've ground and the lime leaves.
  • Stir it until it smells good, then put the beef.
  • Stir the beef until it looks pale, then pour the water. Keep stirring the beef until the water is boiled.
  • Pour the coconut milk and stir. Wait until it's boiled again.
  • Put in the potatoes and wait until it's boiled again and the beef is soft enough.
  • Serve it on a bowl.
Note: 
You can add more water if you feel the beef is not soft and well-cooked yet.
There you go, the "Daging Tuturuga". So bad that I did not take a picture of it; but, it tastes pretty good.

Punclut, Bandung

I always have this temptation to do a culinary tour in the city I'm living in now. Well, at least whenever people ask me about the culinary things, I can answer them clearly and proudly. Anyway, I went to this place called Punclut. It is at a higher area in Bandung. The best time to get there is at night, because from there we can see the city lights of Bandung. So amazing!! The cold air also fills the body that makes you want to eat a lot. As for the meals there are many Sundanese foods there, like:
  • Fried/grilled Chicken
  • Fried/grilled fishes
  • fried/grilled Pete (a kind of vegetables)
  • boiled vegetables
  • fresh vegetables
  • Hot spicy Sambel
  • and many more
Well, you better be careful with the sauce or sambel/sambal in Indonesian language. It is so freaking HOT that you will be like loosing your tongue, but it is the main reason you want to eat more and more and more till your stomach can't stand it anymore. I should have upload the picture here, but I haven't copy it from the camera. I'll be back with the picture next time. So, whenever you feel like wanting to come to Bandung, Indonesia, don't forget to get to Punclut. I guarantee you'll get the best culinary experience.
