Something from Indonesia....

Honestly,I expect something special or big from Shindy to bring from her hometown in Medan,Indonesia.And indeed she bring something special - cabai and kuih.

Made in Indonesia,more exotic and spicy?

As I met her this morning,she showed me a bag of cabai,or cilipadi,or direct translation from chinese will be "chili kid".And of course,the smell had already choked me,so,don't expect me to eat those.

Bahasa Malaysia and Bahasa Indonesia are still not the same afterall

Shindy brought us a special type of kuih from Medan,as she said it was her favourite.

I don't really know how to read or pronounce it,neither do I know what is the meaning.

First thought,is it yam kuih?

Yellow in color,I thought it was a type of nyonya kuih that I liked much.But,I was wrong,it's something different toally!It tasted weird for me,at first.But it was getting better and better for the next few bites.

Is Mojopahit refering to Majapahit that we studied in Sejarah during high school?

I looked through the ingredients,this thing was made from tapioca powder,nira,santan,egg,pandan and sugar.Kinda weird combination of ingredients for a kuih,especially with the tapioca powder.But still,it was nice.

But not everyone was fond of it.Some even complained and felt geli.Maybe this is what I called food-cultural barrier.

So,that box of thing was not finish eaten by the class in the end of the day.Shindy took it back,of course.While,she was in my car,I kesi kesi hint her,and guess what,that box of kuih is mine now. She gave it to me as I liked it so much.

Yummy yummy...thanks Shindy!

And,it had become my dinner and supper for the night.
