Green Tea “Frog” Cookies


Finally a new post…!

How’s your week end?

Sorry I’ve been disappeared these past few weeks. Due to Idul Fitri, my maid was going home for couple weeks, therefore my sister and I were doing all the housework. Actually there are not a lot since we share the job, but it was enough to suck all my bentoing and baking energy without a trace. My first plan is I was going to spend my holiday to make cookies, pudding, etc. But only to think the mess that I have to clean up, I immediately choose remove that idea.


Anyway, this week I’m very very very happy…I know it seems a little exaggerating, but I do very happy. So as I mentioned before in my post here, I bought a camera a couple months ago. But actually the camera that I bought was not the one that I really want. Well you know, it usually happened…when you want to buy something, let say camera A and then the shopkeeper says “You know, the camera B is actually better than camera A, because bla bla bla…” you got persuaded, you bought camera B and then you regret it…yup that was exactly happened to me -_-“

At that time I was planning to buy Canon A810 because it’s cheap and yet have quite a lot of feature that I need (and want). When I went to the shop the shopkeeper said brand “P” is better, because I was an amateur on camera (until now) I believed what she said and without think twice I bought the camera that she recommend. When I tried it, I think it’s not bad though it doesn’t have macro mode.

The problem came when my mom got birthday present from my old sis and it was Canon A810. When I tried it, I just fell in love with it. At the very moment I decided to sell camera “P”. Luckily my lil sis is good at selling things online, so I ask her to help me. And as expected from her, the next day my camera was sold with good price!

While waiting for payday to buy the new camera (this time I promise myself that I only going to buy Canon A810, no more other choices) I did a lil online research about the price of the camera, hard case and memory. So finally I bought the camera that I dreamed of, even cheaper than my old camera (though it was already include the memory and the hard-case)!

I named it “Mas Kuro”. “Mas” is a call that comes from Javanese language for older brother and “Kuro” is from “Kuroi” which is Japanese language for black. It’s a silly name, but I love to call it that way :D


So, this picture is my very first cookies, Green Tea “Frog” Cookies, and I got the recipes from here. In the original recipes the cookies is round shape and half coated with white chocolate, but since it’s green I tried to do a lil modification so I shape and décor it as “frog”. Thank God it’s edible, though it’s not too crunchy because I whisk the butter too long. But overall it tastes good and looks cute ^^

Ja, itadakimasu!

So today’s bento is from my bento picture collection, called “Tare Panda Bento”. Find this cute character on Google and immediately inspired to made one since the shape is quite simple :D


Menu: Tare Panda Onigiri decorated with nori and cheese, fried chicken-sausages-broccoli, strawberry and persimmon.

Cute Dumpling (Bak Pao)



Minna konbanwa (^o^)/

How’s your week end?

I’ve been dying wanting to make dumplings (Bak Pao) that modified to looks cute. But, I’ve never made bakpao before so I decided to make it from instant flour. I just have to add cold water and knead the dough until smooth. I put fried cut sausages and grated cheese for the filling, add some decoration, and it’s done!

The first picture was before it steamed. Here’s the picture when it was being steamed. I can’t take the picture closer because I’m afraid my camera will be cooked as well ^^




And this is the result!



I took the picture that looks like a scene too, the panda pao blushing because he’s surrounded by a lot of cute piggy. (I only add blushes with photoshops in this picture) 

     

Lately I’m also very interested in baking. Even though I had successfully made a mess with four portions of cake, I won’t give up. Well…I haven’t bake since my fourth failure, but I will start to enter the world of baking by trying cookies. The first recipes that I really want to try is green tea white cookies, because the recipes looks easy and I have imagine I can modify it and make it looks cute ^^
I didn’t have any baking tools before, so I have to buy oven, baking tray, etc. I bought the oven out of my town, from one of my online friend in Natural Cooking Club (NCC). Thank God it arrived safely ^^

Ja minna. Have a nice week end!

Cute Bento #58: Pinguin Bento 2




Ohayou~
Or should I say konnichiwa? (^o^!)>

Minna genki?
How’s your week end? I spent my week for “me time”…for me, “me time” means do whatever I wanna do that I just can’t do on week days such as wake up as late as I can or watching Japanese Drama…
Aaa~ it’s been a long time since the last time I watched Drama. I usually download or buy Dorama whenever I had free time or extra money, but since I’m working I don’t have time to watch it.

Back to bento, today’s bento still inspired by Akinoichigo’s Bento. I’ve made penguin bento before as you see in here, so today I’ll name it “Penguin Bento 2”. Hahahaha…I know…I know…I’m not creative in giving name…Anyway, inside the box there are rice (decorated with nori, cheese and kani stick), fried chicken, fried broccoli, and strawberry.

Couple weeks ago I just bought food photography book called “Food Photography for Everyone” by Riana Ambarsari. She’s one of the admin from Natural Cooking Club (NCC), the club that founded by Fatma Bahalwan. The activity in this club including sharing recipes, tips and tricks, cooking information, gathering etc. The founders’ even give cooking class (especially in making bread, cake and cookies) that opens for not only the member. I really want to join one of their class but they rarely open the class on week end (T^T)

The book was fun to read, the explanation really suitable for beginner food photographer like me *uhuk-uhuk, and also a lot of tips for digital camera user. At first I feel hopeless to make stunning food picture since I only use cheap digital camera, but since I read this book I realize that the crucial thing is not the camera, well it is important, but the most important is the one who use the camera ^^ 
I have a plan to make my own mini(m) studio…hahahaha, I called it mini(m) since it will only fit to take small things picture.
 I hope I can made it next month (-人-) *pray

Wish me luck!

Cute Bento #57: Pirate Bento





Konnichiwa~ !

Minna genki?

Today’s bento was inspired by Akinoichigo’s Bento and I named it “Pirate Bento”. As I mentioned before I copy her idea several times since I really adore her creative idea :D
The menu is quite simple, there are “Nasi Gurih” molded by hand and decorated with nori and cheese, spicy tamagoyaki, and then fried broccoli and sausages.

If you notice, I put my own designed mug as back ground property. The design was simple, I just put several cute foods that usually packed in bento like onigiri, flower shaped carrot, octopus shaped sausages and many more. I also put my logo in it ^^

By the way I bundled together some of my old bento picture just for fun…and the result is quite pretty ^^


Ja, yoi ichinichi o ~ !
