Belajar Tanpa Batas

Back ke bahasa Indonesia lagi. Sedang malas mikir soalnya pakai bahasa Inggris hahahaha!
Memang ya benar kata pepatah buah jatuh tidak jauh dari pohonnya, lahir dari keluarga kuliner, seniman dan guru sedikit banyak pasti kena jatahnya dan untuk itu aku bersyukur..... Untunglah! aku lahir dalam keluarga seperti ini meskipun nggak kaya dan kadang2 mesti putar otak nyari uang *uda kayak mak2 aja nih* tapi bersyukur diberikan banyak kemampuan dan talenta (dan harus diasah!).

Sejak dari bocah emang uda suka banget yang namanya makanan, klo kata nyokap sih "pinter makan" makanya sampai sekarang pun susah diet *sigh* tetapi gak cuma suka makan aja dari dulu aku suka masak tapi gak suka buat kue. Soalnya bikin kue itu lebih sulit harus sabar dan teliti, sedangkan kalau masak feeling lebih bisa jalan.... mama ku seneng banget buat kue daripada makanan, tetapi entah kualat atau ketepa sekarang aku cinta banget lho sama baking :). Pertama kali masak itu smp kelas 1 masakan pertama bikin tumis kangkung wuihh pede banget deh pas nyium aroma harum si bawang putih yang bergolak dalam minyak panas hahahah hasilnya enak dan makan sama2 dengan seorang teman..... sejak itu kangkung tumis adalah andalanku hingga saat smu pernah ada acara masak2 masal gitu deh dalam kelompok2 dengan pedenya bikin tumis kangkung dan sudah berharap akan dapat hasil yang bagus. Tapi ternyata takdir berkata lain antara masak sedikit sama banyak itu beda dan alhasil hasilnya layu banget deh tuh kangkung >.< oh no!

Tapi gak pernah kapok buat masak hahahah sampai sekarang seneng deh klo masak2in buat keluarga dan teman2 mulai dari masakan chinese, jepang, korea hingga yang kerenan dikit deh Prancis gitu.... tapi anehnya kok kurang pinter ya masak indonesia kecuali rujak dan pempek hahahahhaha *gimana nih!*

Soal dunia baking punya kisah lebih unik lagi pertama kali baking itu waktu jaman smu dan hasilnya luar biasa pingin nangis!Karna rasa penasaran "kok gue gak bisa buat kue sih?!" jadilah mencoba buat kue sponge cake *standart banget...* saat nyokap lagi tidur, dengan mengharapkan hasil nya akan bagus si nyokap surprise. Nah jadilah sebuah kesalahan dalam membaca resep disitu dikatakan telur 12 buah TAPI kuningnya 6 dan sisanya seluruh telur (klo gak salah ya... uda lupa resep yg dibaca waktu itu) cuma akhirnya aku malah mikir telor 12 jadilah telor yang hampir satu kilo itu dipake semua dan dengan pedenya buat itu kue pas lagi di oven bau telur yang sangat kuat menguar hingga ke kamar nyokap dan si nyokap bangun dan benar2 surprise karna pakai telor sebanyak itu. Hasilnya aku namakan Egg Cake hahahah si kue telor bencana itu.... sejak itu takut baking.... tapi ketika kuliah ambil hotel dan ada pelajaran baking, cukup enjoy juga meski belom cinta2 amat seperti sekarang.

Tiramisu yang aku buat satu minggu yang lalu, habis dalam waktu dua hari padahal bikin satu loyang :) *senangnya*
Akhirnya sekarang dengan sedikit penyesalan kenapa gak dari dulu gitu kan pinter di baking hahahaha sekarang pingin sekali mengasah diri di bidang pastry dan pinginnya sih bisa pergi sekolah lagi di Jepang. Kenapa Jepang? meski sebenarnya paling oke itu ke Prancis tetapi Jepang memiliki keunggulan di "Improvisasi dan development" yang baik sekali. Jadi karna sudah bisa pingin lebih mengasah diri :) cuma UUD (ujung2nya duit) belum punya uang untuk bisa sekolah pastry di sana dan harganya mahal sekali dibutuhkan sekitar 200 juta -an untuk 1 tahun (itu sekolahnya aja) tapi meski begitu sekarang ini tetap semangat cari uang untuk bisa sekolah lagi.... meski nanti usia tidak lagi muda tapi belajar itu tak kenal usia, gender maupun status... jadi GAMBARE!

Beer For Kids *?* Kodomo no nomimono

I have a lot spirit to write a post right now ;) because today is my off day *yeay- I decided it by myself*. I have read about a beer can be consumed and made special for kids in Japan and it become a trend. I thought "what the hell is that?! it was a great idea!" Japanese people drink a beer like a water I guess hahaha I mean they drink it for relax after bathing, dinner, etc. Maybe their kids curious about what does it like, how the taste and why their parents/ adults really enjoy it and the "beer maker" thought it can be a great opportunity and no country has been made this kind of beer "Children's Beer!" hahahahaha okay it was just my assumption but I thing it's true....

Well when I went to a supermarket I found this kind of beer.... and I was really curious about the taste and finally I bought it. The soda, the color exactly the same as the real beer but.... the taste.... sorry I have to say it "quite gross?" >.< I don't know... maybe kids love them but not me, it tasted so weird.... I don't know.. maybe in Japan they have their favorite brand with different flavor, which is has a better flavor.... hahahaha

Learning From The Sweets

久しぶりですね。。。。*too much dorama* lol. Actually I want make this post since a few weeks ago but I didn't get any guts hahaha and  I was quite busy. Well since I resigned from my lovely job as food writer and stylish *Honestly, the testing food part was awesome ;p* I try to make a patisserie shop, the problem is I'm not a chef and I'm not the expert bakery at all. I am just the foodie and mad about dessert, I can cook and baking for sure because my mom, my grand mother are the chef for our home and they also sell their products, you know... a home industry.

 My grand mother ( I called her Emak) was an incredible "chef" ! her food just like a heaven and she loved food so much! ( now I know where's my habit and my body shape come from wkwkwkwk). My mom is a great baker with highly patient attitude lol, which is I don't have it :( I am quite temper for sure but since I started making dessert, it's like a therapy for me. Honestly I have thrown away some batter or cookies or cake because they were not good enough and I didn't want to see them.....

But anyway the important thing is never stopped to learn and keep humble, when I have a little bit penny on my pocket (okay...actually we don't have penny lol) I will bought some cakes, dessert or cookies just for testing and from my tongue I learn about flavor, texture, etc. We can't always think our cakes are better than others, because when you think like that way,  you will be finished by ego. If you taste something below your standard, learn why the taste like this..... even from the worst you can learn something....

I have met a lot chefs, they are from 5 * hotels, cafe, restaurant until celebrity chefs, etc. I've met chef with a big ego and told me some lies, the idealism, the artisan, etc. Well.....they have their own taste and style but I don't care I just care about your cakes, your food and I learn....

Actually I just want to make the sweets, the dessert, the cakes, and whatever you call them... have the ability  to make people smile and happy.
Thanks to Bonjour for allowed me to take some pictures of your lovely dessert....the taste AWESOME!
