Ikan Masak Woku

Post Meta Posted by at 7:59 AM under recipes post a comment  6 Comments »

Dipikir-pikir, tinggal@Manado rugi bener kalo ga bisa masak makanan Manado. Tul ga?. Jadi inget-inget aku pernah bilang ke Lolita, kalo rugi bener kalo tinggal di Manado, tapi ga bisa renang (hehehe, tahu kan hubungannya, di Manado ini banyak sekali pantai n kolam renang yang sayang kalo ga direnangi huahaha…)…

So, waktu malem natal kapan hari, aku sibuk mencatet-catet resep ibu Lolita, sambil merhatiin dia masak ikan bobara woku. Catet sana, catet sini, termasuk kutipan-kutipan si ibu. Ngeliat doank si gampang, tapi begitu udah waktu tiba hari mau berpraktek, alamaak, ga pede banget.

Akhirnya kemarin sore, pas si hubby udah pulang dari rumah sakit, kita ke supermarket blanjablanji. Dengan tekad bulat, segera milih-milih daging dedagingan, i.e: ayam, sapi, pas sampe di kounter ikan,waah ada tuna n goropa seger n udah bersih, langsung si hubby meyakinkan untuk beli.

Nah, tadi pagi, setelah rumah sepi (ceileeh…biasanya juga sepi…), kubulatkan tekad mengolah  si goropa a.k.a kerapu sesuai ama catetan-catetan kecil waktu malem natal itu.

Mau tahu kerpekannya…

Silahkan dicobaaaa….

Ikan: terserah … cuman yang paling sip Kakap Merah/ Bobara/ Goropa satu ekor dipotong-potong, direndam jeruk nipis (ato kalo di Manado sini kita lebih sering pake lemon cui,jeruk nipis yang kecil-kecil) dan garam. Ga usah lama-lama, coz ikan-ikan tsb di atas cepet nyerep nya…

Bumbu:

  • 1/2 ons Lombok Kecil (sesuai selera, tapi harus ada biar terasa woku-nya^^)
  • 1/2 ons Lombok Merah Besar (kalo ga suka pedas, buang tengah n isinya)
  • 5 siung (ato lebih) bawang merah
  • 1-2 siung bawang putih
  • 5 batang bawang daun (bawang prei)
  • 5 pcs kemiri
  • +/- 2 cm jahe
  • +/- 2 cm kunir
  • daun jeruk, kemangi,sereh
  • 1 lembar daun pandan
  • 2 buah tomat sedang
  • 1/2 sdt kaldu instan
  • 1/2 sdt garam
  • Minyak goreng untuk menumis

Cara:

Haluskan bahan-bahan berikut:

  • Lombok kecil
  • Lombok merah
  • Kunyit
  • Jahe
  • Kemiri
  • 1/2 sdt garam
  • 1/2 sdt kaldu instan

2. Tumis bumbu-bumbu yang sudah dihaluskan.

3. Begitu sudah keluar bau harumnya, masukkan bawang merah

4. Setelah bawang merah agak matang, masukkan semua bahan.

5. Masukkan ikan, diaduk rata dengan bumbu-bumbu. Jangan keburu diberi air, tunggu ikannya mengeluarkan air, baru ditambah air (untuk kuahnya). Supaya bau masakan lebih sedap.

6. Kalo dirasakan ada yang kurang, ditambah garam/kaldu/cabe, sesuai selera.

7. Siap dihidangkan…

Trust me, memang bumbu-bumbunya buanyaaakkkk…tapi beneran ga sesulit yang aku kira. Sbenernya nih, khat-khat ini blom jago-jago bener masak, tapi masak woku ini beneran mudah  n enak.

Penampakannyaeng ing eng…

yang depan warna putih n ndud itu, telor ikan goropa (sebangsa caviar kali ye...hihihi)...

Selamat mencoba, ingat, khat-khat yang jarang memasak ini aja bisa, so pasti mudah banget bikin nya, jangan tertipu ama bahannya yang bejibun…jia you….^^v

p.s: this post aims to be a tribute to my cooking teacher, Mrs. C. D. Saelan,a.k.a Lolita Buana…suwun nggih,juenk…muah…muah…

Kaktus and the new years eve dinner stories…

Post Meta Posted by at 9:04 PM under family, precious moments, the queen's bubbly words post a comment  4 Comments »

yihaa…(mentang-mentang lagi ngafe@Black Canyon neh critanya jadi rada terkena atmosphere western2 gitu …)

My hubby n i lagi pake free wifi-nya Black Canyon. Dengan cergasnya dia mendonlot-donlot segala macem jurnal kedokteran, mumpung gretong kan…hihihi…

It’s been a month and 2 days since i set foot here. Kayaknya udah lumayan terbiasa ama ritme kehidupan sini.  Tapi memanggg, masih butuh penyesuaian di sana sini. Ehm, well eniwei, sbenernya mau cerita ttg hal-hal kejadian everyday, my habitual action hahaha. Cuman ada 1 hal yang masih terngiang-ngiang di kepala n mendesak pengen dimunculin di blog (narsis neh critanya…).

Last year, on Dec.31,2009, ceritanya si hubby mau gave me a gift by staying 3days 2 nite @hotel. Katanya, pengen suasana baru aja. So, there we go, bobo @ the hotel yang ternyata packagenya include new years eve gala dinner.

Padahal, that nite kita udah diundang ama keluarga Dion n Lolita buat spent the last nite of 2009 @their lovely house, skalian papi n mami Dion, n juga Eldo the brother dateng dari Jawa. Trus, ada tante n spupu-spupu Dion yang laennya. Yah, pokokna ramee dah.

Berhubung di rumah Dion start jam 8-an,kita dinner dulu@the hotel skitar jam 7-an. Buffet dining, lumayan banyak pilihan buat si manusia roti ini hihi. Dessertnya bener-bener mengundang selera kite. Si hubby sibuk milih main course yang memang jarang-jarang ada di menu sehari-hari kayak roasted turkey, ribs bbq,dll, aku malah melototin aneka pie, pudding, mouse, dll. Hehee, jadinya kalo kita cuman dapet 1 menu yang terdiri dari appetizer, main course, dessert, kita udah pasti ga bakal bertengkar kkkk…

After incip sana sini, kita berdua meluncur ke rumah Dion. Diiringi ujan gerimis rintik-rintik. Bener-bener feel@home di rumah Dion. Ada orang tua n tante Dion, spupu-spupunya, reminded me to my big family back home. Kita mulai acara dengan sharing-sharing semua yang dateng di sana waktu itu. Buat aku, cukup bikin hati ini ceria lagi. Coz denger pengalaman spupu-spupu Dion yang scattered all around the places, cieeh…Jakarta, Pekanbaru, Mojokerto, and Rochester,NY. Gimana yah, as usual fuel up my spirit gitu. That there are lots of people struggle for their life out there. I’m totally not alone.

Thank you for Dion n Lolita for inviting me to the nice n warm new years eve dinner. Nanti foto-fotonya di upload di sini deh…promise ^_*.

Back to the hotel, buat countdown to 2010…

Ada satu percakapan ama si hubby yang bikin aku slalu pengen  slapped me on my own face for being so ignorant. Ceritanya di meja kita  ada sebentuk vas berisi kaktus yang lucu menurutku. Senggolsenggol tangan si hubby,”mau dong bikin ini satu, buat dipelihara dalam rumah”

kaktus-on-the-table-2

Si hubby dengan cool-nya diem aja sambil senyum simpul.

Beberapa hari kemudian, waktu bukain pager buat si hubby berangkat ke r.s,

kaktus-1

Ngekngok

Alamak, kita punya se-pot besar taneman kaktus itu, juga temennya yang jenis ini…

kaktus-on-2

So, hit me please…on the head…

Well, that nite, ini di luar per-kaktus-an, kita ngedapetin grandprize malem itu…tiket pp Garuda, Manado-Jakarta. Thank God for the blessings upon us.

Me, still, still, have a big urge to hit my own head for the ignorance of the cacti…huuuuhh…

Last day in 2009…

Post Meta Posted by at 9:16 AM under bukanpunyamana post a comment  6 Comments »

Hari terakhir 2009…

Cuman 2 resolusi utama buat taon baru, ga boleh males n nurunin berat badan kkkkkk…

Oiya, mau sharing peristiwa manis 2 hari yang lalu…

Aku ini manusia roti, maksudnya lebih seneng makan roti daripada nasi. 2 hari yang lalu, tiba-tiba pengen banget makan roti, tapi warung depan ga jual roti. Tiba-tiba si hubby pulang dari undangan pelantikan dokter (dia cuman dateng,buat ambil sumpahnya sih belooommm,…masih 2th-an lagi kaliii), sambil menenteng sekotak roti Cella.

kotak-cella-2

In case pengen nyemil @ Manado, ini alamat CELLA, jl Tikala Ares I no.6, Manado, telpon (0431) 867620, 852682

Fyi, CELLA ini salah satu bakery yang yahud punya di Manado. Pertama-tama diajak sama si Lolita, dia berpromosi dengan semangat 45 kalo kue soes nya yummy (fyi, soes di manado disebut suzen….hihii, ganjen yee…). Secara aku ga seberapa suka soes, aku coba kue lainnya, eh, ternyata yummy jugak, so, jadi deh CELLA toko roti favorit khat-khat@ Manado…hihihi…

Mau tau isi kotaknya?ehm…isinya ada 4 biji roti isi keju coklat, 2 biji panada, n 2 biji kolombeng. Panada itu kue kas manado, persis kayak donat ayam gitu, tapi biasanya diisi ikan cakalang alias tongkol. Kolombeng mah sebenernya kelemben ato roti kukus. Thanks hunny…(ternyata dia ngedengerin ocehanku yang pengen mamam panada dari minggu lalu)…

Ini dia penampakannya…

kue-kue-cella-1

yum yum...yang pojok kanan itu panada, tinggal 1 biji, coz yg 1 udah ada di dalem perut hihihi ^^

Buat next year…hope tetep tiap ari ada hal-hal “manis”gini,hihihiy…

C u all next year…

Hellowww again…

As soon as i stepped my feet on Manado, almost every day I saw the cloud covered the sky above. Maybe it does not acknowledged as a good sign for someone in the new land, new environment, according to the grannies words. But, for me, it is a really good sign. Since, because of the heavy rain, the water debit at the lake (i don’t know which lake it is) is sufficient for the eletricity.

But, unfortunately, everything under the sun has two sided. The negative side of having cloudy sky almost every day is that the temptation of lazying around is getting higher and higher. I pictured myself as a polar bear lay over a big block of ice and drink a bottle of coca cola with stripped straw.

i didn't get the picture i mentioned, so i put this cute lil polar bear taken fromhttp://sweetiegirlz.wordpress.com

i didn't find the polar bear pic as i imagined before, so this one is quite funny i think, taken from somewhere around wordpress blog

It’s quite a changing in my life. Cooking, cleaning the house, washing clothes, etc,etc are not new for me. But, i did not get used to do them in a series everyday. So, i’m still working on it. Try to fit in.

Some of my married girl friends told me that they prefer to finish a hard case in office or face some annoying customers over domestic jobs. Well, i guess i shall consider join the club ^^. Naaah, it is not the time to surrender, it’s way too early.

Hmmmh, i think the picture of the polar bear does not represent me much, than i think the picture below will give u a better understanding on a lazying around stay at home housewife.

Huhuhu.

I’ve just finished my labelling duty. Labelling here can be best described as putting the self adhesive label in front of the invitation card. Ehmmm, yes, they are my wedding invitation (background music: original classical wedding hymne). Since it will be held in Jakarta, I do not invite many people to come. Just some closest friends (the circle of series of sisterhood…^^) and some relatives n friends of the family who happened to be in Jakarta and surroundings.

things i've been dealing with for the last an hour...

things i've been dealing with for the last an hour...

I have a bad habit to procrastinate duty or errand that i thought would be difficult in the process. It happened this afternoon. Before I started to begin the labelling thingy (well, u know, u should print the name and address on the self  adhesive label, which is not have regular pattern. You should do the trial-and-error method to have it finished), i have a visual in my mind that it will be such an annoying activity that should not be done in the middle of a cozy sunday afternoon. Sounds toooo lazy, aren’t I?.

Then, i realize that i don’t have a printer back in Jember (i am currently in Malang) and it will draw more times to have my invitation cards sent, if  i did the duty in Jember. So, i put my lazy ass on the chair in front of the computer n starting to type a few names. I tried to print them on the back of the self adhesive labels. Of course I did not get the best result on the first shot. After I saw the first printing result, i managed to calculate how much row or column should i move or add. On the second trial, I got the bigger picture about how to put them right. Finally, on the third trial, I decided to print them directly to the blank white  self  adhesive label.

Silly me, i felt a little bit PROUD about my small success…(i do really embarass in admitting the proud feeling). I finished the duty not more than half  an hour. I’m very thankful that i made a best decision to do it right here right now in Malang.

Sometimes, in real life, i face some real problem that actually smaller than i have them in mind. But, it’s really the mind that has it set, so that it looks bigger than the actual. So, i have to start think the problem as big as the real one, and stop making my ability to solve them smaller than the actual.
