Kind of Rice in Indonesia Hello all, Quite long time didn't post any new entry here ^^. I will comeback to my college next week. For somedays ago, I was busy at office and also have another things to do so I can't compose any entry sooner. For this time,I will talk about food again ^^. Hope you willn't feel bored with my topic. I choose to talk about food because if I were you and I have a chance to Indonesia, I will do culinary tour because there's a lot of food that you must try when visit Indonesia. Rice is one of the main food (besides corn and sagoo) for Indonesia people. I live in the west part of Indonesia, so I usualy eat rice. There are some processed rice, like : 1. Nasi Uduk / Nasi Gemuk (Uduk Rice / Fat Rice) Nasi uduk usually eat as a breakfast menu. I usually call nasi uduk as nasi gemuk. Nasi uduk is made from rice (beras) mixed with coconut milk and another spicies like ginger, and etc. You can eat nasi uduk with side dishes like fried chicken, cucumber, egg, tahu, tempe and etc. 2. Nasi Kuning (Yellow Rice) Nasi kuning is almost same with nasi uduk.Turmeric add on the mixture as the yellow colour of rice. Nasi kuning is usually made as "tumpeng" in some celebration. You also can eat nasi kuning with side dishes. There are another kind of rice like nasi liwet, nasi kapau, nasi bogana, nasi ulam, nasi langi, nasi krawu, and etc. So far I just ever eat both above because those are the common one. Enn, for the end, let me tell you the different between "beras" and "nasi". In google, it have a same meaning (rice). Beras still raw, uncooked, so you can't eat it. Nasi is the cooked "beras". Could you all understand it? Just leave a comment if you have any question or etc. Thanks ^^ On picture : Nasi Kuning

There are some foods or drinks from China which ever or often I eat. ^_^ 1.Kwetiau (Guo tiao 粿條 or 沙河粉 sha he fen) Kwetiau is a kind of white noodles which made from rice.Kwetiau can be fried (called Kwetiau Goreng) or cooked with sauce (thick sauce; called Kwetiau Siram). I prefer to eat kwetiau siram because it’s tasty and wet because of the sauce. Kwetiau can be serve with some kind of meat like cow, pig, and etc. There’s also vegetarian kwetiau. I often buy vegetarian kwetiau on vegetarian day ^-^. 2.Siomay (燒麥 shaomai) Siomay is a kind of dimsum. Skin dumpling of siomay is same like skin dumpling of “pangsit”. In here, siomay usually contain mackerel fish, shrimp, chicken, crab, and etc. There’s also siomay which not wrapped with skin dumpling. The meat is mix with sago or tapioca flour so it’s seems like pempek :D. This kind of siomay is deserve with peanut sauce with sweet soy sauce,tomato sauce or chili sauce, depend on the person’s taste. 3.Kembang Tahu/Tahua (豆花 dou hua) Here, kembang tahu usually serve with ginger water. You can add ice if you want the cold one. I like eat kembang tahu with ice because it will be so fresh. The weather here is hot ><.

Putu Bambu Putu bambu is an Indonesia traditional snack. When I was child, I often ate putu bambu.Now a day it’s quite difficult to meet the putu bambu seller. I have been quite long time for me not eat putu bambu. Putu bambu usually sell with cart, bicycle or borne by the seller. We can know if putu bambu seller come from the issuance of sound. The sound usually like a whistle sound. ^^ Putu bambu is made from coarse ground rice flour moistened with water. The dough flour will be entered into bamboo tube which containing brown sugar. All the ingredients will be steam. After it cooked, putu bambu will be out from the bamboo tube with using a special tool made from wood. Putu bambu will be serve with dried grated coconut. I often eat putu bambu with green color (green color comes from pandan leaf). For the white color, I never eat. Besides putu bambu, there are a lot of traditional snacks. Let me tell to you all in my next entry. Thanks ^^ Picture : Putu Bambu in steam process.

Languages in Indonesia Indonesia is a country with multicultural condition. We live with differences like race, religion, ethnic, language, culture, tradition, etc. In general, each region have their own local language. For example like my city, Palembang. In informal condition like talking with friends, buying something at traditional market, and etc, people usually use Palembang language. In the formal condition or institution like school, office, and etc, we use Indonesian, as the national language and unifying the nation. Why I could say Indonesian as the nation unifying language?Hmm if I am not mistaken, It's because most of Indonesian people comunicate with others outside from that group by using Indonesian except if the person understand that group language :D. There are a lot of local languages in Indonesia. For example at my home, my mother is come from Bangka Island, so she usually speak with my father and her family from Bangka in Bangka language. My parents usually speak with their children in Palembang language. but because I often hear their conversation, so I know the meaning of some Bangka language words ^^. Another example at my office, there is my co worker is come from Sekayu city. Sekayu is still a part of South Sumatera province. So she can speak Sekayu language. Because she is working at Palembang, she can speak Palembang Language too. I usually comunicate with my co workers in Palembang language. Another co workers at my office is Java descant. So they can speak Javanese.

Most of my Muslim co-workers are go back to their hometown to celebrate Ied Mubarak with their family. Go back to the hometown for celebrating Ied Mubarak is become a tradition in here. It usually call "Mudik". When Mudik time, road out of city/town will be crowded with many kinds of vehicles and traffic jam will be happen every where. So that's why the riders and drivers should be carefull on their way to go back to their hometown. In Ied Mubarak day, people usually eat "ketupat", opor ayam (chicken opor), rendang, and other food. My mother also made those food today, although we aren't celebrate Ied Mubarak ^^. Today I have a plan to go to my Muslim friends house for stay in touch (bersilahturahmi) with them. I hope the plan will not cancel. ^/\^. Happy Ied Mubarak to all of you who celebrate it. Minal Aidin Walfaidzin ^/\^

Vegetarian 大家晚安.Good night all ^^ On 1st and 15th dates for each month according to chinese calendar, I am trying to be a vegetarian. Today is 七月一号( the first date of 7 month) according to chinese calendar, so I don't eat any meat for today. I have started to do this since I was in Senior High School. I saw my eldest sister didn't eat any meat and she told me that she is be a vegetarian today. So I follow her and try to do that and became a habit till now. According to source which I read, there are some kinds of vegetarian like vegan, vegetarian-ovo,vegetarian-lacto, vegetarian lacto-ovo, vegetarian pesco and vegetarian pollo. Today I become a lacto-ovo vegetarian. Lacto-ovo vegetarian is a vegetarian which don't eat meat or other things containing animal but still consume egg, milk and another refined products of egg and milk. My sister's family is a lacto-ovo vegetarian too. they don't that everyday, not like me, just a twice a month. In vegetarian day, people usually go for praying at "kelenteng" I don't know the name in English, but according to google, it means temple).So that's why today the temple will be crowded.The picture above is a Kelenteng picture in 10 ulu Palembang.

Usually for celebrate the Independence day, Indonesian people will held some games, like panjat pinang (climbing "pinang" tree), bringing marbles on spoon, sack race, eating "kerupuk", and etc. In Panjat Pinang game, people will be in group and try to reach the tree top to take some gifts.Gifts usually hanged on the tree top. The pinang tree will be covered by oil, so that's why it's not easy to reach the top. Bringing marbles on the spoon is usually played by the kids.They will bite the end of spoon and walk while maintaining their balance. Someone will be a winner If he/she can reach the finish line wihout fallen down his/her marbles, On sack race game, you will enter into the sack and jumping to reach the finish line.

Jika Aku Menjadi (If I were..) - Reality Show Good Night all ^^.I have no idea so I decided to post my old entry from another website. I don't get any response there, so I repost it on this website. Waiting for your response , tq ^^ Jika Aku Menjadi(If I were..) is a reality show which tell us about the daily life of "bottom class" people who do some hard jobs with a few income. There will be a guest(man/woman)from middle or upper class with various occupation (Like atudent, secretary, model, etc) who join with them for some days to feel their misery and know more about their struggle in facing this life. I love this program because it teach me to be more grateful with everything I have till today and also realize me about something that i never thought before.I never mind if there's still a lot of people who live with that kind of condition.>< At the end of the program, the guest and his/her group will give a surprise for that person and his/her family (If she or he have a family, because in some episode, there's some old people who live alone without family beside them (T.T)). The end is my favourite scene because I feel happy when I see their happiness reaction and also feel curios about what they give for the unlucky people. The common present is basic need like food, clothes, a capital to start a better job,some tools for their job, etc ^^
