Indonesian Dinner

23 August 2007, 10:11 , by Luigi Pralangga

 

For most of us being away from home, whether you realize it or not, your
expertise in culinary has become better than before. At least, for me.. I began to learn to cook and getting around the kitchen longer that I used to be when still living back home in Indonesia. Since the year 2000, when I start living and working in New York, as those burgers and other fast food really bore me a lot, which I also need to mention that they [eating out and taking Chinese take-outs] really burn my pocket deep!.

Looking up recipes from the net and calling-up my mom back home, which is 10-11 hours ahead – just to ask how to cook this and that, and why is the hell it turned out to taste worst-and stuffs had made me a bit more proficient with my cooking skills. Further to trials and error, as I push myself to undertake mission’s assignment – it all went out well, at least those instant seasonings can make your tummy really happy and the longing for home-style meals are similarly compensated, which to include making your housemate in the mission getting a better acquainted with the Indonesian Culture through its dishes.

Here in Liberia, I am glad to have someone whose curious enough to
accompany me while doing things at the kitchen, meet my housemate, Antonio. Though he’s not much of a great help, but at least I’ve got a great cooking companion – just like on those TV’s cooking show, he’s my culinary assistant trying to explain to me how to cook using the Bumbu Inti.

However, I could not comprehend better of his Indonesian translation… can
you help me by listening to what he said?

Peranan Pendamping Peacekeepers
Well, edisi yang satu ini kalau mau diurai mungkin baru akan habis 4 hari 5 malam, kok nanggung?. Kenapa nggak sekalian aja 7 hari 7 malam?. Jangan dong.. nanti nggak tidur lantas hari Senin-nya nggak bisa bangun untuk kerja. Anyhow, merujuk judul artikel kali ini, saya ingin mengulas sedikit akan peranan sang pendamping. Biasanya jarang dalam artikel ini dan sajian bacaan di warung sebelah saya mengulas perihal si Idung Pesek ini. Ya, “Idung Pesek” itulah sebutan romantis sang pendamping saya. Mungkin bagi rekans yang selama ini sempat mengikuti rentetan panjang sajian cerita di warung sebelah akan faham seperti apa wujud, kelakar dan personality traits si pendamping peacekeepers ini.
