Favorite foods

I have promised my readers that i'll put more posts about Indonesian culinary but I'm just so lazy to do the research. I'll still talk about food today but in different context. What is your favorite food???? Most people will say any kinds of food as long as it is sweet, spicy or.................. For me my favorite is a food that can bring back memory when i eat it. For example i like to eat beef goulash and frangipani tart because it'll will remind me of my time in Taylor's college when we have restaurant and kitchen class. Moreover i like to eat the food that can remind me of my childhood memory because it just bring me back to that time when i ate it last time. Sometimes i miss my mum home cooking as well. Tempe karamel is the best ha4 however i never miss her eggplant, snake bean, and corn combination stir fried. It just too boring even though that's my mum signature dish ha4.

I've never plan to cook my mum's home cooking because it is originally hers so when i cook it, the taste must be different and the art is not there anymore.Have u ever wonder why the taste of your mum' recipes is different when your mom is not around? The answer is because your mom is not there with u when u eat it. What's the point of your mother's home cooking if u can cook it by yourself ? For me certain food can become favorite food not just because of the taste of the food but it is more to who do you eat it with, when u eat it, where u eat it, the memory and the story of the food will make the food not only edible but also memorable and delicious. So u'll never forget the taste of the food.

Tips for those who wants to open a restaurant or bakery: Create food that is not only delicious but also memorable so that people will talk and never forget your restaurant.

Talking about food i would like share my " recipe " hahaha so called recipe because this recipe is just a mess. Honestly i dont have any measurement so u need to figure it out. This recipe doesn't have measurement because it is originally created by me who doesn't know how to create recipe ha4

" Cheat Cheese Cake"
Cream cheese
Oreo biscuit
Strawberry
Unsalted butter

1. Separate the filling of the oreo from the biscuit and set the filling aside. Mash the biscuit until u achieve the smooth crumbly texture
2. Mix the mashed biscuit with butter spread it at a container and chill it in the fridge.( Butter is only used so that the mashed biscuit can be integrated and achieve a smooth texture)
3. Meanwhile u can mix the cream of the oreo with your cream cheese until it is sweet enough
4. Coarsely chop the strawberry and mix it with the cream mixture
5. put the cream mixture on top of of the biscuit crust and chill it in the fridge until it sets and ready to be cut.
6. That's the recipe of my cheat cheesecake, looks like cheesecake , taste a bit like cheesecake but not as fluffy and smooth as the real cheesecake because i dont use any eggs or gelatine. But i promise this cheesecake is not that bad. Believe me, as long as u understand point number 2.

So give it a try!! U'll never know how it will taste unless u try to make it and maybe this can become your favorite food because u have certain memory in creating it ? Who knows ?
