Satay Padang, The Delicious Food From West of Sumatera

Satay Padang. Who’s didn’t know this food? It is the most delicious food that I have eat. In Indonesia, It is a realy famous food.

It is the traditional food that come from Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia. It was my parent hometown. As the other minang cuisine, It’s feel spicy. It is very suiteble for the spicy lover.

Satay Padang is made from a meat, It can be beef, chicken meat or a lamb, but usually It’s made from a beef. Sometimes there are some offal too, It’s can be a beef liver, intestines, or a fat (But I dont realy like it haha!).

One that make Satay Padang being very delicious is at the sauce, It’s made from herbs and spices that show the Indonesian culture.

There are three types of sate padang, which are Sate Padang, Sate Padang Panjang, Sate Pariaman. The three types are differentiated by the colour of their sauce. Sate Padang Panjang usually has yellow-coloured sauce while Sate Pariaman has red-coloured sauce. Bearing the sauces are different, the taste of both Sate are different. While sate Padang has a variety of flavor blend from the two types of sate above.

So how can we make this food?. There is a recipe just for you all beloved reader :D

Ingredients:

• ½ cup sliced onion
• cloves garlic, sliced
• tablespoons peanut or corn oil
• veal or beef hearts, quartered
• lbs. beef chuck, cut into 4-inch chunks
• 1½ lbs. veal tongue, cut into 3 pieces
• 1 lb. beef tripe, cleaned and cut into 4 pieces
• 2 tablespoons fresh red hot chili, blended into a paste
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 1 tablespoon turmeric
• tablespoon fine chopped ginger
• 1½ tablespoons coriander
• teaspoon ground cumin
• pieces of jeruk purut, or 3 square inches of lemon peel
• salam leaves
• 1 piece of laos
• 1 2-inch cinnamon stick
• 1 cup water
• 2 stalks lemon grass
• 3 cups coconut milk

Sauce:

• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1 cup rice flour
• Reserved meat sauce
• 2 teaspoons salt
• ½ ripe tomato, sliced thin
• Bamboo skewers

Instructions:

• Fry the onion and garlic lightly in the oil in a large sauce-pan. Add all the other ingredients except the coconut milk, and mix well. Cook, covered, for about one and one-half hours, or until the meats are soft. Then add the coconut milk, and cook for thirty minutes. Remove the meats, and reserve this meat sauce, which should measure about 2 cups.
• To make the sauce, mix the coconut milk and rice flour into a thin paste. Bring the reserved meat sauce to a boil, and add the rice flour paste, salt and tomato. Cook and stir, for ten minutes over a low flame until the sauce is well mixed. If it becomes too thick, add ½ cup water during the cooking. The result should be a thick, creamy, spicy sauce. Keep warm.
• Cut all the cooked meats into ½-inch cubes. Put 5 cubes of different meats on each skewer so that you have a contrast in textures. Heat the skewer briefly over a charcoal fire, gas or electric broiler; then dip it liberally into the warm rice sauce. The satays are usually eaten with rice rolls / rice cake.

Besides the rice rolls/rice cake, Satay Padang is good to eat with “Kerupuk Kulit” and “Keripik pedas”.

Usually, Satay Padang was served above the banana leaf. Just a suggestion, If there were not any spoon around you, just use the banana leaf as the spoon. The delicacy will increase! Haha good luck!

So, there is it. Interested? you must try it and I sure that you will be addicted :D

Close The 2014, Open The 2015

Hi Friends, long time no post right, Today I will tell you about my long holiday, It’s a fun holiday from 2014 until 2015. So let’s check it out guys.

Carita Beach

The holiday was started after we got our raport on Tuesday, 23 December 2014. A day after recieving raport I just stay home because my parent were worked . At Thursday, 25 December 2014, there was a Chrismast day, so my mother and my father got a holiday too. First, we have the plan to went to Pangandaran beach, but because to reach Pangandaran we have to pass the way with many cliffs and the weather was realy bad so we scare about the the landslide. So we went to Carita Beach, Serang, Banten. We went from Bandung at 09.00 am. and visited  Jakarta first to shuttle my aunt and my cousin, so we went to Carita at 02.30 pm.

It was a long trip, actually my family never went to this place before, so we used GPS (Global Positioning System) to reach Carita Beach. Banten have some popular beach, there are Anyer and Carita, to reach Carita, we must pass Anyer beach first. There was maghrib when we passed Anyer beach, and we were going too saw the sunset, so we went to the sand just for took the picture, but we was suprised because we must pay 50.000 rupiah, just for took the picture, but after asked to the officer there we just pay  10.000 rupiah. Yes, just for took some picture, and we went again.

We arrived at Carita beach at 09.00 pm. and we searched for hotel, we looked some hotel but there were very expensive. Until we got a lodge with 3 bed rooms, 2 bath rooms, 2 TV (but just one that on) and a kitchen. First, I didn’t like it’s lodge because It was looked like It was not rent for a long time, but because It was 10 pm and my father that drive the car was tired. So we stayed there for a night, and I thinked that lodge was not too bad.

At the morning, my father went to bought the breakfast, after took a breakfast, we went to the beach that near from that lodge. We played at the beach happily, my sister and my brother were playing sand, My father was  suggest me to played banana boat but I thinked it was too expensive so I refused that, We play happily until the waves was higher so we went to the land. But my brother and my sister went swam again at swimming pool with my father. And me, my monther, my aunt, my granma and one of my sister went to our lodge and we cleaned up our body.

At 12.00 we were checked out from the lodge and took a lunch, after that, we played again in the beach, but now I didn’t playing water because I didn’t have any cloth for this again. So I just took some picture of my sisters, my brothers, and my father when they played, the were surfing, and playing the sand happily, my mother and my grandma was took relax, they were massaged by the massagers there.

After everybody were satisfied playing, we went back to Jakarta, we were so tired, so we slept on the way, and not awared that we have arrived at Jakarta at just 30 minutes before tomorrow. We slept at my grandma’s house.

 
Kebun Raya Bogor

The next day, we went to my uncle’s house in Tajur, Bogor, West Java. He just have a new son, He is so cute. We arrived there at 02.30 pm, We played to the garden Field “Kuntum”, It’s near from my uncle house so we walked to reach there. There was the fresh air and free! At 05.00 pm we return to my uncle’s house.

Next day, we went to Kebun Raya Bogor, who didn’t know this place because it is the presidential castle. There were many deers and there was a corpse flower but not raflesia arnoldi that realy popular, it was it friend, Amorphophallus titanium from Sumatera, but unfortunately It was not grew.

At Kebun Raya Bogor my brothers were playing football, we took many photo there, we visited zoology museum too, and there was a bones of whale. I didn’t know did it real or just made by people.

That day we returned to Bandung but we went to Jakarta first to shuttle my Grandpa, after that, we returned to our hometown, Bandung!

 









 
















Bandung Carnival Land

We returned to Bandung at Sunday, and next day, my parent must worked, so we just stay home, there were my grandpa and my cousin from Jakarta too in my house.

So, this story was started at the first page of 365 at the first section at my new book, 2015, yes It was new year, well at the new years night we didn’t do anything, not party or fireworks. But at the day, my aunt was came from Jakarta and my another cousin that lived near his campus came to my house. So we went to Bandung Carnival Land, It’s located at Jl. Sirnagalih No. 15 Karang Setra, we must payed 50.000 for the full ticket and just 25.000 for entry ticket. I was play every games except kids games and haunted house game, first I thinked that the ghosts are human and when we walk there we would touched by them, but when my aunt went there, she told me that the ghost just the doll. Now I wanted to go there but I afraid because I didn’t have any friends, so I didn’t when there.

            

Floating Market Lembang

Next day, we have plan to went to floating market, Lembang, West Java Indonesia. First, we pass Sukajadi street, the main way to went to Lembang, the traffic was veri jammed . It was full with plat B license plate from Jakarta. Because that day was Friday, so my father and my brother must Friday prayer, they were prayed at “Masjid UPI”, after they prayed, the traffic to Lembang was more jammed so we decided to went to “Masjid Agung” Bandung, West Java.

We were going to have lunch at “Waroeng steak” Restaurant at Dipati Ukur street first before we went to “Masjid Agung”.But because our way was diverted so we were going to have lunch at Punclut, It’s the place at the hilltop and the view was very nice. But at Punclut, my father just pass the Punclut and we was keep going until finally we arrived at Floating Market.

The day was rainy but fortunately just drizzling. Because we were bought the ticket so we got the free bevarege and we choosed hot chocolate.

I was so hungry so when we arrived we directly went to the sundaness restaurant there, we ate fried chicken and It was so delicious. After we ate, we went again to rounded that place, we saw some fishes and swans.

When we pass the floating market there were many foods that available. But unfortunately I was full. So I just bought a Risoles. And we returned to our home.
