Carla & Chef Candidate


It is a story of my cooking experience. I'm not a good cook. Then, I found that cooking can be practiced easily as long as you have cooking book.

These couple days, my roommate [mbak Carla] visit our room. She usually spends her day at Ciomas, miles away from Cibinong, but for 2 days in a week she stays with me. We share a room. She loves to eat spicy food, but hates cooking. Well, not hate-just lazy to cook. Then she persuaded me to cook. She suceed. For these couple days I cooked for her! What a shock!
First day we, well- I, cooked fish ala woku [yellow spices]. At the day, we wanted to fry some tofu actually. But mbak Carla wanted to eat something spicy [without need to cook it, absolutely]. We had some tofu already. I found some nice tofu recipes in my cooking book. Mbak Carla had been enchanted with the woku tofu. Because we lacked of candlenut, Mbak Carla offered herself to buy them some. Got back from the stall, she handed also fishes. Busyet! I didn't know what to do. Well, tofu was just fine for a cook beginner like me, but not the fishes. I was afraid if I would ruin the food later, hehehehe. Hoping the miracle I sliced the fishes into some fillet, put little lemon juice on it and put them into the pan [with tofu and spices]. Voila... the woku was greatly tasted!!! Well done!

Second day, came Mbak Yeni [another labmate of me]. She bought some salted mini-squid and pete!!! I helped her in the kitchen. We cooked them and put a lot of pepper. Ssshhhhhhh.... it's hot and spicy!!! But it was another delicioso....

A day latter we didn't cook anything because we had a party in the laboratory, hehehehe.

This morning, I cooked chicken claw [cakar] stew. I put some crushed garlic and black pepper into the pan and added some soybean ketchup.... woohooooo.... yummy yummy. We're still keeping the broth and some claws for a bowl of soup tomorrow. Hhmm, just can't hardly wait the soup!!!

This evening we plan to have a barbeque party... well we'll roast some fishes actually. Let's see how it will be?! I'll tell you latter.

hm, just considering to be a chef candidate (at least in my dormitory) beside as a researcher candidate... hehehehe
