Hello, just want to play around with graphic and text this time :) The little text on each image might not be readable, but that’s the links from wikipedia, where I got the description of each fruits and vegetables. Just little things to show my admiration to wikipedia and their 24h shutting down action to protest against the piracy law. It was a strange day, because usually when I want to know about something, I go to their site, that 24h without them, I felt kind of lost.
Anyway, I did this photos a while ago, and they are kind of my favourite set. The risotto was divine, thanks to the beautiful zucchini from the notorious Gede Green from Bali Rungu organic farm. Got all those beautiful vegetables above from him.
I have been too busy to go to the Ubud organic market, and just when I thought I might be able to go tomorrow, I got a notification for a meeting. Oh well, maybe next Wednesday. My tummy is rumbling now, I will go now to prepare some rockets+carrots+parmigiano salad with some polpette I made last week (made a big batch and freeze them for lazy cooking days like this…although my lazy cooking days seem to be in longer and longer period) *doh!
Hello, hanya ingin bermain dengan teks dan grafis kali ini :) Tulisan kecil yang ada di setiap akhir dari penjelasan di foto mungkin tidak terbaca, tetapi itu adalah link dari wikipedia, darimana saya mendapatkan semua penjelasan tentang buah dan sayuran yang saya foto. Hanya sedikit ungkapan kekaguman saya terhadap wikipedia dan juga aksi menutup wikipedia selama 24 jam untuk memprotes hukum tentang pembajakan di internet. Hari itu adalah hari yang aneh, karena biasanya ketika saya ingin tahu tentang sesuatu, saya biasanya tinggal membuka website mereka, tetapi selama 24 jam itu websitenya tutup dan saya jadi merasa ‘tersesat’ ketika ingin mencari informasi.
Lalu tentang foto-foto ini, saya sudah memoto ini beberapa waktu yang lalu, dan ini adalah salah satu set foto favorit saya dan saya ingin berbagi dengan anda. Risottonya enak sekali, terima kasih kepada Gede Green dari kebun organik Bali Rungu, saya membeli semua sayur dan buah diatas dari dia.
AKhir-akhir ini saya terlalu sibuk untuk pergi ke pasar organik di Ubud, baru saja saya pikir saya bisa pergi, ada telepon untuk rapat besok pagi. Saya harap saya bisa pergi hari Rabu depan.
Sekarang perut saya sudah keroncongan, jadi say akan pergi untuk membuat salad dengan wortel dan arugula dan keju parmesan, kemudian memanaskan polpette yang saya buat minggu lalu (saya membuat banyak lalu saya masukan ke dalam freezer, untuk hari-hari malas memasak seperti hari ini…yang rasanya semakin lama semakin bertambah saja hari malas memasaknya) *doh!

This is my kind of basic fishcake, you know, that kind of day when you are hungry, look at your kitchen and found only some potatoes, a can of tuna and an egg and some flour and some breadcrumbs…here is what you do:
The basic: three or four medium potatoes, boiled and mashed + a can of tuna, drained + salt + pepper = mix, divide and shape it into 6 fishcakes. Then flour then dip them into whisked egg (one) and pat them with the breadcrumbs. Pan-fry or bake them (like below, I baked them with some beets because I didn’t want to waste the space and the heat :)
That’s my basic version, then I usually add any herbs that I think match it (in this pic I used Italian flat parsley), or even add some chopped boiled eggs. And if I feel fancy, I would poach some fresh fish and use it instead of the canned tuna.
Jamie Oliver has one even fancier version that I like called South American fishcake. Super good too!
Oki, basta about food.
I want to share my blooming shallot plant :)
And some gazillions of bees that decided to make a big house in my garden. In the beginning we were happy because we thought they were honey bee, but they were not, we had to have them removed because they invaded our house in the night.
But anyway, I think they look quite fascinating :)
Have a nice day all! xx

You can call this my last attempt to play with ceramics :) I now realise that me and ceramics are not in harmony, may be not now. But hey I had fun in the ceramic workshop with Jason Lim from Singapore at Gaya Ceramic and Design studio and I also wrote about it and ELLE Decoration Indonesia published it. October 2011 Issue. In print. Yes. I.am.happy :)

That one carrot plant is giving up on me, I don’t know why. That is one of the things in my life lately. I am a little bit mellow, I think I miss Europe a lot, It has been almost a year that I haven’t been there. I planned a trip back in August and September, but a project came along and I had to do it. And also now, I am doing a strategic design project until mid November, but then it will be too cold to travel to Europe, plus Marco’s exhibition is coming in December and my brother is coming too. So, no Europe this year. That makes me pretty sad. Not sad sad sad, just…mellow I guess. I miss the energy. Well, I have to go back to work now, so I’ll just say good morning (although now is not really morning here in Indonesia) and bounce.

Remember my everyday muffins? I made them again, this time omitting the chocolate and adding local milk banana (pisang susu) and organic local mulberry I got from Gede last week at Ubud organic market. Super!
Masih ingat mufin sehari-hari saya? Saya membuatnya lagi, tetapi kali ini tidak dengan coklat tetapi dengan pisang susu dan mulberi organik lokal yang saya beli dari Gede minggu lalu di pasar organik Ubud. Super!

I love the colour of poached salad, it becomes more poetic when I poach it. I think this kind of colour and mood is perfect for lunch in one of those summer days with a bit of coldish wind and cloudy, when you want to eat something fresh but not in the mood of salad. You can eat this as a side dish, or for your main dish by add more substance (I imagine tofu, leftover of cooked quinoa/rice/barley or some wakame, topped with boiled or poached egg) and eaten with warm crusty bread. As for the broth you can use anything you like, just follow your imagination. Here I used light kombu dashi with a bit of miso, but, I also added extra virgin olive oil as the final touch. It was yum!
By the way, this is not a recipe, only a little inspiration. Happy experimenting! :)
Saya suka sekali warna salad yang direbus hanya sebentar, warnanya jadi lebih puitis. Menurut saya warna dan suasana ini tepat sekali untuk makan siang pada hari yang panas, tetapi dengan angin dingin sepoi-sepoi dan sedikit mendung. Anda bisa makan ini sebagai makanan samping, atau sebagai makanan utama dengan menambahkan bahan yang lebih mengenyangkan (Saya membayangkan tahu, sisa quinoa/nasi/barley yang sudah matang, juga wakame, dan telur rebus. Untuk kuahnya, kamu bisa memakai apa saja yang kamu suka, ikuti saja imajinasimu. Disini saya pakai kuah kombu dashi dan sedikit miso tapi juga saya tambahkan minyak zaitun murni untuk sentuhan akhirnya. Enak sekali!.
Oh iya, ini bukan resep, tetapi hanya sedikit inspirasi. Selamat mencoba! :)

Sometimes in life, what I need is just a few good friends, some beers, quiet Saturday night, watching Pink Floyd concert on dvd and that’s all. Life is just beautiful. Tonight, listening to the song: wish you were here, I suddenly remembered my dearest cousin. He passed away in 1999. Cous, if you hear me, I just wish you were here.

Just came back from Jepara for a project, that of course I still could not share with you. Instead, I will share with you some places of Jepara that I visited. First day I went to Kartini beach, and I was welcomed by these:
Giant turtle building? Big plastic duckies hanging? becak turned mobile-satay-stall? You could not blame me thinking I was high or something, it was pretty surreal, I really thought I was high from all those wood dust I breathe after a whole day working in a place like this:
