KAASTENGELS

+ Apa Kenapa

Kaastengels or cheese cookies is a special cookies which usually consumed during Lebaran or Eid Fitr time here in Jakarta. But actually nowadays we also can have it in every occasions and easily find it on nearby supermarket or any other groceries store.

In my circle of family there's only one person could do it right. She's the late Maera' beloved grand mother. Her kaastengels could give you this teary tears of happiness while you munch it in such excitement. Then you can't help it to have it more and more. Thick, cheesy and crispy at the same time you bite it. Oh, no, you don't bite it, you swallow it then crush them in your mouth for its ultimate cheesy-crumbliest taste.

For us it's so hard to find such quality other than hers. The one almost matched it is the kaastengels from Toko Menu, Bandung. It located on Jl. Trunojoyo. It's great and all. You should buy it more than one package otherwise there will be a war over it in your household.

The picture above is the kaastengels made by me, trying hard to match hers and I believe one day I can make it right.

Combro is an Indonesian traditional snack. It made of fried cassava filled with oncom spiced with some ingredients: kemangi leaves, kencur, salt and a bit of sugar.

Usually it consumed during tea time or any other relaxing time and served with small green chilly called cabe rawit.

The one shown here is the giant combros served in my house the other day. It taste delicious and made you full after take only one piece of it. Yummmoo...

Combro considered as a relatively healthy snack as long as it used all fresh stuff and only fry it with the fresh cooking oil. Can't say the same thing with the combro sell on the street tho ><

:: sushi tei' ocha ice cream

OCHA ICE CREAM

+ Apa Kenapa

Kalau ke Sushi Tei atau restoran Jepang manapun, kurang lengkap rasanya jika tidak mencicipi ocha atau green tea ice cream sebagai hidangan penutup. Bisa juga kita menyantapnya sebagai cemilan sore hari dengan melewatkan hidangan utamanya.

Porsi es krim di Sushi Tei ini dilengkapi dengan semacam marmalade dan bola-bola mochi tawar yang kalau digigit empuk dan kenyal.

Soal sehat nggak sehat, kayaknya sih nggak...hehe... udah instant, goreng pula! So greasy but quite yummy.

:: momogi

MOMOGI ALL FLAVORS

+ Apa Kenapa

After a huge rave from the twitter world I've rummage some of warungs nearby to get it in various flavors. Couldn't wait to know what is like.

I bought some of it: Momogi Coklat [chocolate] and Momogi Keju Swiss [Swiss Cheese]

It looks [and taste] like a Chiki in steroids: gigantic and very thick. Both taste quite ok and must've been a Chiki lover dreams which come true ...with a bit blown out in proportion.

+ Sehat Nggak Sehat

There's a NO MSG words written in every single of its wrapping sheets. I my self not sure whether it's true or not because the taste is as sinful as the MSG's ones.

You decide!

:: cemilan

[No] Thanks to Raditya Dika who brought cemilan/snack back into my life ><

His favorite cemilan called Momogi Coklat which came thru my twitter time line, made me do some browsing to our nearest warungs and bought Momogi in various flavors including chocolate and cheese. Oh yeah, it's not healthy at all and it ruined my diet at once.

The momogi itself not too bad as cemilan. But the thing is, it made me realize that there's so many tasty cemilan out there. Tasty and most of it unhealthy.

I'll review it one by one, the good ones and not, and you also invited to send me your thoughts on your favorite cemilan especially cemilan you ate during office hours.

Cemilan plays an important role for us who work daily at the office [or home-office like me] as some kind of magical booster for our mood.

But remember: stay healthy!

+++ PS: kids, don't do this at home!!
