Merry Christmas

 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday for my dear blogger friends, hopefully it's not too late! I supposed to post it yesterday, but the internet at my house was very slow and I don't know what happened with it.

Yesterday we celebrate our Christmas in Indonesian's ambassador house, they always have open house during Christmas every year. There were plenty of Indonesian food there and our tummy were pleased. :D

I managed to make Christmas cupcakes this year, cute aren't they? I got the idea from the internet and tried to make it by my own. The cupcake itself is Oreo Vanilla Cupcakes with Cookies and Cream Buttercream Frosting.

Hello Kitty Tang Yuan

Yesterday was Winter Solistice Festival and I remember that I made this cute Hello Kitty Tang Yuen before. 

In my country, Indonesia, Tang Yuan is called "Ronde". The ingredients are glutinous rice flour and water, if we want the tang yuan to be colorful, we can add a food coloring into the paste. Usually I put peanut paste inside it too. There are 2 kinds of soup for this tang yuan: clear soup and brownish soup. The clear soup is made from water, sugar, ginger with pandan leaves and brownish soup is made from palm sugar, water, ginger with pandan leaves. For me, both are good and suitable for the rainy and cold season.

I didn't manage to make tutorial for my Hello Kitty Tang Yuan, but I will post the tutorial soon!

Mun Tofu

Mun Tofu is one of our family’s favorite food. It’s a simple dish which is easy to cook and healthy also. Today I only used the ingredients which is available in my fridge, so it’s very simple. I bought the tofu in korean grocery store because the taste and texture is much better than the local tofu.

Here is my way to cook my Mun Tofu.
