lunch box!

nowadays i'm bringing my own bento style lunch box to campus! yeay! :)

well, few people bring lunch box to school and some thinks that it's boring and a bit old fashioned.
but what if we design the lunch box like this? (well it's cute, it will make you full, and also it will make you spend less money, isn't it?)


simple and colorful :)sausage, spicy burger, lettuce salad, rice, and also potato croquette.



sausage, spicy hamburger, cheese omelette and also rice. and also a bunny in a lunchbox! (this bunny is a jelly bought by my mom at singapore, it taste good but i felt bad to eat the whole bunny :'( )


bite size steak diane and crispy chicken, tomato and lettuce salad, friend rice and choco strawberry pudding for the desert! enjoy!

well, also my advice as a fouth semester microbiology student - food scientist wanna be. bring your own special lunch box to school/campus! :) the food quality, and nutrition will be better. and i garantee that it contains less COLIFORM than the food you would expect to find in some canteen on ITB. LOL :)


have a very wonderful night all,


with loads of love,

cupcake♥

my father has just bought me cupcakes from jakarta. maybe you have heard of this cupcakes store by chocalot in cilandak town square or plaza indonesia.

the cupcakes are undeniably EXTRA CUTE. EXTRA SWEET and GIRLY and it has such a strong fragrant. just eat it, and you will feel like flying over the rainbow in a fairy land's sky :3
the cupcakes are just too beautiful. just take a look to their websiteand you'll see what a beautiful cupcakes that they have.




oh well, talking about cupcakes. i love to bake cupcakes also.

my cupcakes is not that beautiful. but i think it tastes more simple and home made-ish. and just before i leave my laptop and do some violin practices and do my physics homework (oh God) maybe i should share my simple cupcake recipe!

this recipe is for my favorite homemade cupcake :)

the ingredients :

100 gr of blueband (or any margarine that you like)
100 gr of caster sugar (my mom told me that we don't have to buy caster sugar, which is more costly, we can simply make caster sugar by putting sugar into food processor)
75 gr of self raising flour
25 gr of cacao (van houten is the best, believe me!)
2 eggs

just put all of the ingredients together in a bowl, mix it well with electric mixer. pour it into baking pan specialized for cupcakes. bake it with 180 degree celcius for about 15-30 minutes (you'd better check frequently to your oven)

you can also decorate it, my favorite decoration is emoticon cupcake :D LOL.





**if you want to make plain cupcakes instead of chocolate, you can just switch 75 gr of self raising flour and 25 gr of cacao with 100 gr of self raising floor plus a pinch of vanilla powder.


well happy cooking!
and i guess tomorrow i'll bake cupcakes!

pan-cake♥

pancake.. kue wajan, once my best friend said.

well, i've just learned to make pancake. it tasted a little bit too salty but you won't realize it once it's mixed with maple syrup. well, i'll try to make a better recipe after this, but this recipe will work as well :)

ingredients :
1 egg
1/2 cup of flour
2 until 4 tbs of sugar
milk
butter

directions :
1. beat the egg
2. add flour and sugar and continue mixing it
3. add milk as needed until you achieve a nice consistency. The batter should be thick enough to make a thick pancake but liquid enough to pour,
4. melt butter on the frying pan
5. carefully pour the batter on the frying pan
6. cook it until it turns yellow-brown, flip it to the other side
7. your pancake is ready! put strawberries chunks, maple syrup, whip cream, honey or anything you like :)
