Purple Angel's Cooking

The first award is “Stylish Blogger Award” from mbak Lina.

And the second one is “Versatile Blogger Award” from mbak Yenny.

Thank you so much for the awards! I admire their passion in cooking and bentoing. Although they are mothers with lots of thing to do but still have time (and the commitment) to make cute bentos! I hope I will have that kind of passion even after I am married someday.

I never got any kind of blog award before, so this was my first time. These two awards require similar follow up ;

1. To thank and link back to those who gave you the award.

2. To share 7 things about yourself.

3. To pass it along to 15 blogs you've recently found and enjoyed.

4. To leave your recipients a note, telling them about the award.

7 things about my self…Hmmm, let’s see…

1. I used to be a tomboy girl who liked to fight, even with boys who were bigger than me. I don’t know exactly when I started to love cute things and pink color (which I hated before). I think my older sister, who is feminine and born to be feminine, has given me a “girly poison” on my 17^th birthday, hahaha.

2. Though I’m a tomboy girl I like cooking very much. I started cooking when I was little…I think when I was in kinder garden…at that time I was around 4 years old

3. I’m a control freak and a little bit obsessive compulsive. Everything I do has to be organized and neat. I get easily irritated by something that is not in order. But knowing this “disease”, I train myself to loosen up a little bit.

4. I can’t be under pressure! In that kind of situation I’ll be freezing and can’t do anything…or yelling loudly to loose the tension.

5. I love Japan! Their food, their style, their culture, music, drama, celeb, everything! Especially Junnosuke Taguchi and Kazuya Kamenashi, from a Japanese boy band KATTUN. Can’t stop screaming everytime I watch their concert video!

6. My dreams are to go to Japan, to marry a Japanese guy, then to live happily ever after! Hahaha…

7. I can spend the whole day in front of my computer, because my computer is placed in front of my bed. So I can sit on my bed, facing the monitor for a loooonnnggg time and just go to sleep whenever I get tired in one spot. Looovvvveeee this spot so much!

Another Bento Tool!!!

Seneng deh, akhirnya bisa beli puncher ini. Pinginnya sih udah lama banget, tapi karena harganya mahal, baru bisa kebeli setelah ada yang seorang pria baik hati (ehem…) yang menawarkan bayarin 100rb. Jadinya aku cuma bayar 30rb, hehehe.

Aku beli ini di Obento House, di OL shop ini gratis ongkos kirim untuk wilayah Jakarta dan sekitarnya. Hmmm, yang aku suka dari puncher ini adalah dengan satu alat kita bisa bikin beragam ekspresi muka. Sebenernya masih banyak yang pingin aku beli, tapi untuk sementara dengan alasan penghematan aku fokus dengan alat yang multifungsi =D

Oh iya, beberapa hari yang lalu aku nemuin bolu berwarna ungu!

Tanpa pikir dua kali langsung aku beli bolu itu. Rasanya sih biasa aja, tapi warnanya itu lohhhh...Sayang aku belinya sore jadi nggak bisa dimasukin

Udah seminggu ini aku batuk-batuk terus, udah 3 botol obat batuk masih belum sembuh juga. Karena batuk ini suaraku sampe hilang padahal hari ini aku harus presentasi…Mungkin nggak sembuh-sembuh juga karena aku kebiasaan begadang waktu ngerjain tugas/skripsi, terus kalo dari kampus/bimbingan pulangnya malem...semoga cepet sembuh biar waktu turun lapangan dan wawancara suaranya udah normal :D

Ja, mata ne… (^o^)/

It’s snack time!!!

Makanan ini aku namakan “Bola Ubi Mini” atau “Mini Sweet Potato Ball”. Berawal dari bosan karena selama beberapa hari ubi yang ada di rumah cuma di goreng tepung atau digoreng biasa. Jadi aku nyoba bereksperimen dengan ubi ini ^^

Bola ubi mini aku buat dari 2 potong ubi goreng yang dihalusin terus dicampur dengan sedikit tepung maizena dan air sampe nggak lengket/kalis. Setelah itu ambil adonan sekitar 1,5 ruas ibu jari dan dibentuk bola-bola. Kukus bola-bola ubi selama kurang lebih 20 menit. Untuk sausnya aku pake gula merah yang dicairin dengan air dan sedikit tepung maizena juga, biar hasilnya agak kental. Udah jadi deh! Gampang kan ^^

Mungkin modifikasi lainnya adalah ubi rebus dan setelah dibentuk bola bukan dikukus tapi digoreng...hhmmm, kapan-kapan aku akan coba modifikasi resep yang itu ah! Oh iya, amazingly bola-bola ubi mini ini rasanya nyambung sama strawberry loh. Awalnya aku mikir ”Perpaduan apa ini, ubi yang ndeso kok disandingin sama strawberry. Tapi gak apa-apa lah, yang penting tampilannya bagus” hahaha, ternyata malah lebih enak. Strawberry-nya jadi nggak terlalu asem dan nambah rasa di ubinya! Udah bagus, rasanya enak lagi =D

Yosh! Selamat mencoba!!!
