Add something to your breakfast, folks. I'm not insisting y'all to change your menu but isn't it nice to have something curry-ish and little bit heaviness for your breakfast? Buat aku sih iya. I don't know about y'all tapi klo sarapan pake roti (bukan) tawar pake saus padang yang udah dibeli malem sebelumya + bacon atau ham. atau mungkin pake rendang. Daym such a breakfast.

Kalau roti tawar + saus rendang masih kurang heavy buat kalian, bisa juga bikin Roti Kari (sejenis roti tawar tapi ada rasa karinya). You're gonna have a heavy yet delightful breakfast. Trust me, this kind of breakfast is worth your night time. Malemnya bikin roti, makannya pas sarapan. Ada rasa kepuasan sendiri buat aku klo makan makanan yang aku bikin from scratch.

So, here's the recipe

Bahan : 

500 gram tepung terigu

7 gram     ragi instan

1 sdt        garam

350 ml     air hangat

1 sdm      curry powder

Cara buat :

1. Campur tepung, ragi instan, curry powder dan garam.

2. Campur bahan-bahan kering dengan air hangat. Aduk sampai merata lalu uleni hingga kalis. Simpan adonan di wadah yang sudah diolesi minyak selama satu jam/hingga adonan mengembang and doubled in size. Tutup wadah dengan kain.

3. Panaskan oven 200 derajat Celcius.

4. Kempeskan sedikit adonan dengan ditekan di permukaan yang telah diberi tepung (biar gk lengket) lalu taruh di adonan roti (Adonan roti persegi panjang kalau ingin yg berbentuk persegi panjang. Tapi kalau mau bentuk lain juga bisa). Tutup lagi dengan kain dan biarkan mengembang selama 30 menit. 

5. Sebelum dipanggang, taburi tepung di atas roti lalu goreskan bagian atas roti dengan pisau. Lalu, panggang selama 15 menit terus kurangi suhunya jadi 170 derajat Celcius selama 30 menit. Roti yang matang klo diketok bagian bawahnya kedengaran kayak berlubang gitu. Jangan lupa dinginkan roti sebelum dimakan.

Yup, itu caranya bikin Roti Kari. Kalau mau bikin roti tawar biasa, gk usah pake curry powder. Ini roti sebelum dicampur sama sesudah jadi kalis warnanya beda. Klo udah kalis, warnanya kuning-kuning gitu. Mine is not perfect. Your bread might be better than mine.

By the way, check out my instagram @bigboyosua for the video. Imma upload it soon!

P.S. ini roti bisa dipanggang terus dibikin sandwich pake isian suwiran rendang, sambel ijo, sayur daun singkong, & kuah rendang. Daym.

"Woah! What's that? Ice cream in a pot? With a real flower on top? So plant. Much swag. So yolo. Very kewl. Much dirt."  

or

"Wut? Black burger? Is it safe? I gotta take some picture of it! Much likes. Very awsum. So Impress. Such mistery.  Many blackness. Such bunz. Very burger."

and yeah the black food is very "hitz" lately. Idk why people use the word "hitz". It bothers me. Like. A lot. I don't know why.

Apparently, youngster like new kind of weirdness such as ice cream inside a pot (for plants) black foods (made from oreo or charcoal). So, if you want to start a business or whatsoever please make something new. Don't copy the others. I know the idea of copying some fancy weird-looking food seems perfect. The fact is, kalau kalian mulai copy itu makanan dan yang lain ikut copy juga, makanan itu gk bakal jadi spesial. Kalau makanan yang kalian anggap spesial itu udah gk spesial lagi gk bisa dong bisa jual makanan yang dengan dalih "ini makanan spesial" trus akhirnya gk laku dan bisa terancam bangkrut buat both of the idea-maker and the idea-copier.

Suatu produk bisa dianggap spesial kalau belum ada orang yang lain punya ide yang sama. You gotta stand the F out. Make something weird (and edible) yang bener-bener cuma kamu yg punya ide satu biar bisa stand out. Because WEIRDNESS ATTRACTS MORE. oh and it's not just about food. If you're feeling different and weird, don't change just because you want to be accepted and fit in. Apa gunanya bisa fit in klo kamu bukan kamu? yekali harus jadi fake tiap hari. Isn't it nice to be yourself even though cuma dikit temen yang bisa deket sm you?

The point is do something different or at least klo mau pake ide yg udah ada dijadiin beda jangan sama-sama banget. Kayak Black Martabak di bawah ini.

You might think it'd be a perfect day if you just there laying in your bed with someone to cuddle then you guys having a pillow talk or just listening to All I Want by Stonefox by yourself 'till you fall asleep.

It must be heavenly. Like chilling in heaven with no hesitation. But it won't be really heavenly if you don't have something to chew. right? Isn't it what heaven all about? Good food, great ambiance, nice people around. Daym my definition of heaven sounds like a coffee shop. But isn't perfect to enjoy your afternoon with a light cake on our right hand, a cup of tea on your left hand, and some water pouring over your roof?

I think a Lemon Cake with a kick of ginger would be perfect in this case.

here's the recipe:

200g unsalted butter, softened

175g caster sugar

1 lemon

3 large eggs, beaten

200g plain flour

1 tsp baking powder

Steps: 

1.Heat oven to 180C. Mix the butter and sugar together (with a hand mixer) until really pale, light, and fluffy. Grate the zest of a lemon and add it to the mixture. Gradually add the eggs, mixing well between each addition. 

2.Shift together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt then add the ginger. add the milk and juice from a lemon and mix until smooth. Put 'em all into your greased tin. 

3.Bake for 1h-1h15 mins, or until golden brown. As usual, us a fork or something sharp to see whether it's cooked or not. If it cooked, let it cool for 10-15 mins.

well, that's it. yeah. pretty easy. You might found similar recipe out there because this is a basic lemon cake recipe. But worry no more, fellas! chill it in your fridge for several minutes and you're ready to chill with your home-made Gingery Lemon Cake! Believe me. simple slices of this lime cake with a cup of tea is such a nice thing to have at ANY occasions. not just when you're feeling lonely at home. but yeah if you're feeling lonely, you might have to try chillin' with some slices of cake.

Maybe some of you guys are wondering which city to go on this holiday. For me as a food seeker, the best place to travel is the city with mouth-watering foods. Being a food seeker is really fun though 'cause food is the only thing that can give all of your senses a pleasure.

So, talking about the full-of-mouth-watering-foods city, I have few recommendations for you. The first one is Malang (or Surabaya. Their foods are similar). They have "bakwan kawi" and it's freakin' awesome. Bakwan kawi itu bisa nyebar di banyak tempat dan sejauh ini setiap makan bakwan kawi yang asal milih di pinggir jalan pasti rasanya ena' ena' bingbing.

But, there's something better than that. Bakwan kawi yang tersebar & enak semua itu masih kalah dengan kota yang menjual banyak pork. YES. PORK. Di jawa (atau terutama Jogja), orang yang jual pork cuma dikit. Karena yang jual pork di jogja cuma dikit, kebanyakan pork eater hafal banget sama lokasi-lokasinya. Yeah, yang jual pork cuma dikit sih makanya hafal semua. Tapi di Medan beda banget! Kalau menurut bahasa orang Jogja, yang jual pork di sini itu "ting telecek". Nyebar banget like everywhere. Of course it's not healthy & gk semua tempat makan bisa masak pork yang enak banget. But it's pork, dude. Pork. Tetep enak lah babi dimasak apapun juga.

Selain Medan juga masakan babi bali juga enak, tapi berhubung saya masih di Medan post-post berikutnya akan berkaitan dengan makanan Medan juga. Doakan saya selamat di Medan ya, guys. Semoga makanan Medan gk bikin masuk rumah sakit waktu balik ke Jogja.
