Air Mengalir Sampai Jauh

This is my oldest daughter and the first-born. Her name is Siti Amira Arraudah and her nick name is Dedek. When she was 0-3 years old, her hair was very curly, just like noodle. You know, if she already takes a bath every morning and every afternoon, I am as a mother, rather hard to comb her hair, it must be patient and used a special comb. UUUgghh... But on one day, I got an idea. I mixed her children shampoo with "urang-aring" oil . It is used regularly twice a week. Then what happened next, do you know it? Yes. More bigger and bigger, her curly hair was decreased then go on, nothing anymore. You can look at and compare these two photos (before and after). It is different, isn't?

While eating pempek you can hear pempek palembang song.

There is a traditional food that I like it very much. It comes from Palembang, South Sumatera and it is “Pempek”. Do you know “Pempek”? Do you ever taste it? Do you ever see it? If you haven’t known, this is a little concerning aboaut “Pempek”. It is made of fillet “Tenggiri” fish. We eat with sauce or “cuko” (the original people names it). Would you like to try cooking “Pempek Palembang”? If yes, I’ ll give the receipt with pleasure. Here it is:

1. Put fillet, salt, vetsin, water into blender. Mix them.
2. If they are already mixed well, pour “Tapioka “ flour step by step. Then scale 200/ each in order the weight is the same among others. Next forming just like tube or “tabung”.
3. Boil the water in a pan, put “Pempek” in the boiling water
