Just found out about this awareness when I read it on
Paxton's posting. Nothing much would I write. Christians in Indonesia are
still treated unfairly these days, even though things aren't as bad as
10 years ago. But persecutions still happen every now and then in some part of the country. God's children are still crying here, even though it might be a silent cry.If you care, remember my country in your prayers. Thanks!

This was one of my (late) mother's favorite Indonesian soup. It's called "Sayur Asem" (Sour/Tamarind Soup). We usually eat this with fried salted fishes, but if it's hard for you to get them, just skip the additional fun :)
- 400gr beef and bones
- 1/4 cup raw peanuts
- 3 corn on cob, cut into 4 each
- 2 chayote or zucchini, peel, wash, discard the seed, cut into small pieces
- 200 gr long beans, but this time I used string beans, wash and cut into 4cm in length
- chili paddy/bird's eye chili, as many as you like
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 5 cloves of small red onion
- 5 candle nuts
- 1 tsp shrimp paste
- 2 tsp tamarind paste
- 1/2 tomato
- salt
- sugar
- water
Method
In a pot boil the beef and bones in water until tender. While boiling the meat, prepare the spices. In a blender put garlic, onion, candle nuts, chili, shrimp paste and tomato, grind until smooth. Put it aside. When the meat is tender enough, take it out and cut into small pieces. Put it back. Add corn, continue to boil until cooked. Add the chayote and string beans, cook for 3minutes until they are cooked (not overcooked). Add the smooth spices. Add salt and sugar and adjust the taste.

And this was one of the reason why Mom loved Singapore and always missed going there all over the time. It's Hainanese Chicken Rice, but you can find it in the whole city/country of Singapore. She also only ordered this food when we dined out in any Singaporean restaurant here.
- 1 (2-pound) chicken
- 1 scallion, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 4 slices fresh, peeled ginger
- 6 tbsp vegetable oil or chicken oil rendered from chicken fat
- 6 to 8 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 4 cups long-grain uncooked rice, washed and drained
- 1 tsp fine salt
Mix together for Chili Sauce
2 to 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice, 5 tbsp finely chopped fresh red chilies, 5 cloves garlic, chopped, 3 tbsp finely chopped ginger, 1 tsp fine salt, 1/2 cup boiling hot chicken soup
Method
Boil a large pot of water. Stuff the cavity of the chicken with scallion and ginger. Add chicken to boiling water, breast side-down. Lower the heat to a simmer just under boiling point and cook, covered until just cooked through, about 40 minutes. Bathe the chicken in an ice water bath till chicken is cold to create a tender, springy texture. Heat oil in a rice cooker, add garlic, stir fry till fragrant. Add uncooked rice, stir fry for two minutes, add salt and enough chicken soup to cover 1/2 inch above the top of the rice. Boil on high heat, lower heat when steam holes form, cover and steam for 30 minutes till rice is cooked. Chop chicken and serve with steaming hot rice and chili sauce. Dark soya sauce is the ideal accompaniment.

What I really admire from this man is his spirit to live and to fight his sickness.
Sorry if you're having your meal now and I make you sick.
Be thankful even though your life might be boring and your wallet is empty. You're way easier to loved when you're not a human tree.

Don't give up life for anything. It offers you hopes when you're hopeful.
I like Chinese steamed dumplings much better than Bandung steamed dumplings since I don't really like peanut sauce and Bandung Steamed Dumplings usually has no shrimp in it. But anyway, it's one of the most popular food here, and... I had it this afternoon!

3/4 lb ground chicken
1/2 lb ground shrimp
3 1/2 oz cornstarch
2 garlic cloves mashed
1 tbl sesame oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly-ground white pepper

6 pieces of tofu (2" by 2" by 1/2")

METHOD
- Mix all the base ingredients to make a smooth base filling.
