A Path to Destination

Beloved,
It is about whether or not
The path is walked.
Not about prediction,
Not about opinion,
Not about hurting or getting hurt,
Not about giving up,
Not about result.

This journey is
Mine.
The destination is
You.
The end is
Heaven knows.

Today’s dinner

please don’t judge hungry stomachtoday was another reading, cooking and eating plus a bit of napping, laundry was missed and will be done tomorrow night after office 😎

this plate is a work of 3-hour labor of an amateur: potato perkedel (potato hash mixed with minced beef), fried rice with corn in Balinese sambal matah & teri kacang (my 1st attempt soooo challenging, too sweet, almost giving up, next time better with different recipe) – yay❣️

i made chicken soup for my own soul and my friend sent me sourdough from her bakery — alhamdulillah….

RAMBUTAN!!! 😍 exotic tropical fruit

Today’s Lunch

Alhamdulillah 💕

rawon-based fried rice

trust me good palate will not easily move on from rawon! 💕

supposed to be microwaved, yet fried — yum yum! 💕

Nasi Goreng (sharing)

Nasi goreng (fried rice) has been declared as one Indonesia’s specialty. It doesn’t mean that only Indonesia has that food in the list; I saw fried rice in the menu list in China, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam but none of them beats Indonesia’s. Oh! Please excuse my confidence. 😀

In Indonesia nasi goreng is not only about one recipe; it is a specialty with unlimited possible combination and creativity.

  • Nasi goreng ikan asin (+dried fish)
  • Nasi goreng teri (+ anchovy)
  • Nasi goreng kambing (+ lamb)
  • Nasi goreng ayam suwir (+ shredded chicken)
  • Nasi goreng telur (+ egg)
  • Nasi goreng gila (mixed with noodle)
  • Nasi goreng sayuran (+ vegetables)
  • Nasi goreng kecap (dominantly sweet with sweet soy sauce)
  • Nasi goreng petai (+ stinky bean)
  • Nasi goreng belacan (terasi) (+ shrimp paste)
  • Nasi goreng biasa (only rice)
  • Nasi goreng blah blah blah
  • Nasi goreng by anyone in the house 💝 this is where the unlimited creativity lies ❣️

I’ve tasted many Indonesian people’s nasi goreng recipes and all of them are special as they are and still delicious!

What’s the secret? The right portion of garlic and more portion of shallots and chilli!

Yummy!

nasi goreng for today’s late lunch 😍 — nasi goreng a la Rike 😀

The Entertaining Uncle Roger

I felt a bit sick today and kind of needed a big refresher before sleeping. I decided to revisit a YouTube video to just get some laughter or at least generous grinning.

Enjoy!
