Whitty the cat guarding (or rather eyeing 😛 ) the food. There were some food that I cooked for the brunch. The day before I made the chicken feet and the chicken topping for the mie ayam (chicken noodle). Then me, Iin and Frisda made the cakes, fruit punch, fried wantan, sambal, boiled quail eggs, pickle etc. On the day Eni brought lumpia (spring roll) and Thata brought steamed brownies (I’m sorry Tha I forgot to take picture of your yummy moist brownies…mau lagi donk buat dipoto 😀 )

Some of the party goers 😛 from l to r; Eni, Olivia, Hesti, Thata, Iin, Frisda and me sitting on the floor. Ohya ini sekalian kopdar ama Thata…and she immediately got new nickname 😛 “mbak 18thn” because she looked boy oh so young despite her real 2* (censored) age. 😛

Ceker Ayam Kecap (Chicken Feet in Sweet Soy Sauce)

The dish that we Indonesian said hurray…..and the Dutch said eeeew…How different culture also have different appreciation on food 😀

The method and recipe is basically the same with the mie ayam topping but first I deep fry the chicken feet until golden brown then soak them in cold ice water for overnight so they were nice and plump. Furthermore I added mushroom soy sauce.

This is again Yongki Sponge Cake 🙂 my favorite, but this time is one recipe. I ordered the edible print in Cake Print. Then with the help of Iin with rolling the fondant voila….a cake 🙂
