IF Cracked



Elly the elephant is such a wimp
Even she's the elephant king's daughter

She is just too afraid to swim
Sooner or later,
The crack will help her

IF Intricate



Leia is snitching a little carpet
While the cats are playing with her yarn

But now the cats are intricated
Twisted, tied by the Leia's yarn

Food Photography : Red Chili Sauce



Many Indonesian can't live without sambal or chili sauce :D. We usually make our own fresh sambal not the kind packed in a bottle. There are countless recipes for chili sauces in Indonesia (sambal kacang or nut chili sauce, sambal kemiri or candlenut chili sauce, sambal bawang or onion chili sauce, etc). Indonesian sambal usually come as a thick paste, and are used either as a dipping sauce or in stirfrying.

One of the most common sambal recipe use these ingredients : bird eye chili, sometimes cayenne, dried shrimp paste (terasi), coconut sugar, tomato and salt.

And here's my entry for CLICK : January 2009 - RED
