My Loyal Customer

These are my loyal customer. They never complain about my menu and my cooking. If the cooking is good, they will pay me with the great hugs and kisses. Sometimes, asking for more if the cooking is very delicious



They are known as Nabil and Lulla. Wish I could always become their special Chef....

Rosella alias Frambozen

Rosella tea becomes so famous nowadays. It believes curing diabetics, cholesterol, and other degenerative diseases. The dry or fresh petal can use as tea. Just put it in the cup and pour with hot water until it diluent well and changing its color into light red. It tastes a little bit sour.



When I was a kid, I ate Rosella as a sweet and sour snack from Cianjur. The dry petal mixes with crystal sugar. Since it's famous as herbal drinking, the name changes into Rosella.

Actually Rosella is one of Hibiscus family. (Don't compare with kembang sepatu ya). It knows growing in tropical area. Came to Indonesia by India's trader.

I grew it on my home. The flower looks so gorgeous. Wish I could have some more. But still don't know what should I do with the flower, let it go or put in my cup :P

It's all just a beginning

Having a blog always teases my mind. I dream to have one but I am afraid to do so. It feels that I am to old to start it. Until one day, I saw my friend's blog. It is so beautiful. And when I asked her how to build hers, she said she learns and learns and tries to optimal the sources.

I ashamed.... Too much excuses to fulfill my dream.... I have all that she has... but I sabotaged it for stupid reasons.

So, here my blog with the passion of me.
To feel me as I wanna be. As a media to forget for a while of the routine tasks that always alarm me whenever I go.

Wish, this is the place for me to learn, to enjoy, to share all the things ...
