Food is something that I took for granted when I was in Indonesia. All kind of food are available around the clock. Street vendors can be found in every corner of the streets. They even walk around your neighborhood pushing their carts so you don’t even have get out from house to indulge yourself with that hot and steamy nasi goreng.

That is one thing that I miss now, living in United States. Cold weather, strict FDA regulations and cultural differences make it impossible to find “Abang Sate” find 1st Street and 2nd Avenue.

Cooking is maybe one of the first survival skill that you have to learn when you decide to live abroad. Being spoiled with all of the convenience provided at home made the first few years here in US kind of harsh. Lousy Chinese food, McDonalds and pizzas were my main motivators to learn how to cook.

Today, I am not an expert in cooking by any means but I think at least I am able to produce edible and healthy food for myself, my fiancée and sometimes, my guests. My mother and internet are my teachers.
