For the Love of Indonesian Food : Makan Session!
[With Chef Afit and Chef William Wongso]
…
Being an Indonesian, I must say, I still have SO much to learn about Indonesian food!
(In other words, I know very little about Indonesian food and I sooo want to know more about it!)
If you’re not an Indonesian, let me tell you something, … there’s SO MUCH variety, so many authentic ingredients, and so many things that you can explore and create, provided that you know what you’re putting together and cooking, of course! =D
What we usually see (and eat) at Indonesian restaurants overseas is only a tiny fraction of what Indonesian food is all about! REALLY!
[Some of the food we had was cooked right there and then!]
Not too long ago, we were invited to join in a Makan Session.
It was a gathering of Indonesia’s culinary experts and food fanatics, and we tasted super yummy Indonesian food! Most of them I haven’t ever tried before!
(We were busy chatting and eating that we didn’t take photos of the food spread other than the above!)
We had Chef William Wongso, Chef Bondan, Chef Afit and Lucy, his wife (the owners of Holy Cow Steakhouse), Ndoro Kakung (a senior blogger, well recognised by the social media here), Santhi Serad (a food scientist who owns a herbal garden in Bandung), Ade Putri (a food fanatic and a radio deejay who talks about food on air!), and many others!
…
It really was a nice and warm gathering.
(And it made me appreciate Indonesian food a whole lot more! =)

Dat food really look gd!….wonder whats in that? is it potato, egg & bean sprout all stir fried?
It’s actually like a char kway teow. But instead of using kway teow, Mr. Wongso uses sliced pempek lenjer (long-shaped fish cake; originally known from South Sumatra). Yes, all stir fried. But since the pempek is already tasty, you should shrink the amount of the seasoning, a bit.
Thanks Ade!
You explained it all sooo much better than I would! =D
Hi Suriani!
Glad that our foodie expert came to the rescue and explained in much better details what that dish was =D
