tune in & win dinner at pok pok with executive chef & owner andy ricker

This Thursday, March 14th at 4pm, I’m teaming up with General Assembly and InsideHook.com to interview Pok Pok award-winning chef and owner Andy Ricker.

Pok Pok is arguably one of the most talked about restaurants in the past year, making appearances on many (if not most) high profile “Best of 2012” lists, including Bon Appetit’s 20 Most Important Restaurants in America, New York Times’ 12 Restaurant Triumphs of 2012, New York Magazine’s 10 Best New Restaurants, and, not to mention, a segment in the series finale of No Reservations with the no-bullshit arbiter of taste, Anthony Bourdain.

The interview will be streamed live from General Assembly this Thursday at 4pm EST. To tune in, simply sign up for free access to our chat and you’ll be automatically entered to win the chance to dine at Pok Pok with Chef Ricker on Thursday.

Feel free to email me questions you’re dying to ask, and I hope to see you guys online in a few days! – amy

Zee Ora-Green Salad

Easy peasy healthy =] I had a Kabocha pumpkin, an orange paprika, a spoonful of dried peach, a quarter of canned chick peas. Grill the pumpkin and paprika, sprinkle some salt and pepper. Lightly stir fry the chickpeas and onion, then baby spinach. Toss over grilled pumpkin and paprika. Pour lemon-olive oil-mustard-honey dressing OR stuff inside a sandwich. =D Yumminess!

The Mee Soa and Chicken Meat Ball Story

So easy to make: mesh minced chicken together with minced garlic, salt, pepper, minced shallot, then make into little balls. Stir fry the chick balls until golden, put away. Prepare the chicken stock with water, salt and pepper, parsley, shallot, until bubbly, then dump in the chick balls, then dump in the mee soa. Serve! Sprinkle with red onion crisps and chilli flakes. YUM!

OCD Over Stoves

Sat, 09 Mar 2013 10:48:45 -0500

While I’m at it. Have a little bit of free time before the pile of huzz-buzz in the coming weeks.

I still have no fridge and stove yet. I’m aiming the end of March for them. The thing is, I can get a little OCD of what comes first. Here’s my psychotic thoughts:

Before I get the stove, first I must get a kitchen table to put the stove over it.
Then I get the stove.
Then I get the fridge.

Meanwhile, I’ll post a few great DIY memories from the Ol’ Kitch’n.

…and make room for instant laksa!

Our friends Serene Tan and Abel Sim hooked us up with a few packs of their favorite Singaporean brand…

And I cannot speak highly enough of it! The soup packed such incredible flavor!! I just cannot believe you can get such taste out of freeze-dried and powdered foods. Amazing!!

Now when friends ask me if I want anything from Singapore, I know what my answer will be!

THE 10 FACES OF MIE AYAM.

Honestly, I can’t remember where are the places of these Mies, but they all look yummy, so yummy I contemplate on having a separate blog on Mie Ayam.

Whatchu’all think?

As an Indonesian, I really can’t get enough of Indonesian food. Empal Gentong, Nasi Padang, Tekwan, Ikan Seluan Sambal Tomat, Pempek Palembang, Otak-otak, Usus Goreng Tepung and Sambal Terasi… And the list WILL go on!

When I wasn’t cooking, I’ve eaten out a lot including being invited to Christmas gathering by the Australian Embassy staff, a friend’s Christmas dinner and actually lunch and breakfast at my parents’ where they too serve western-ish foods. I really can’t complaint.

Bakso AHA counter is wedged between Apotik Senopati and other unmemorable building. I’ve passed it so often that one day I decided to get off the bus and walked in.

Apparently it serves other food than Bakso such as Fried Chicken, Nasi Rames and Otak-otak. The Bakso was really special because the soup was so simple. You are allowed to have extra dried minced garlic condiment as much as your liking.

I - LOVED - IT!

Once, there was this actress, her name is Minati Atmanegara. She resigned from the limelights and focus her mind on health, fitness and wellbeing. We all know she opens a cafe, but only last year did I begin to visit her cozy little cafe in Tebet.

It serves healthy food including the Green Smoothies and Juice. This one in the photo is Pesto Chicken Sandwich. Make sure you empty your tummy before trying this. The serving was HUGE! Do come between 9am-9pm for interesting choices of healthy food.

Ummm… I must say the mash potato did have rather funny taste, but still good.
