Don’t have to go to work. Woke up late and turned on my computer. One email that was really bother me from one of my girl friends who lives in Eden. It’s about 2 hours 35 minutes from Winnipeg. She told me that somebody used a food picture of mine that I was taken in 2006, and put on his blog without any permission. I don’t mind if somebody want to use my pictures (which are very amateur) as long as they ask me first. It was a recipe of Sop Konro and Grilled Konro (literally Makasar Style Beef Ribs Soup and Grilled Beef Ribs) which I posted on my multiply. The recipe was also translated by me from an Indonesian cookbook that I brought from Indonesia.
Ohh well, sometimes people just don’t care about that. They think it’s not a big deal, it’s just a blog. My first step was leaving comments on his blog and now just wait for his respond.
Anyway, back to my lazy Saturday. Little bit chill this morning, I went to Van Loi on Mc. Phillips st, and Dong Thai on Notre Dame ave. At Van Loi, you can buy South East Asian fruits, such as Rambutan, Mangosteen, Duku etc. Sometimes I saw those fruits are sold at Dong Thai too. Van Loi is a bigger Asian grocery store than Dong Thai, but still I like going to Dong Thai more, due to variety of Indonesian stuffs and also I make a good friend with the owner.
After browsing around and bought some stuffs at those two Asian grocery stores, I went back home and prepared this semur which I didn’t have it for so long. It’s just an ordinary semur for me.

Iya yah nggak kepikir ikan bisa disemur juga, biasanya daging atau ayam. Keliatan enak banget nih!
Aku kebalikan mbak Retno. Aku malah taunya ikan disemur dulu, baru pas ngekos di Bogor baru ngerasain semur di luar ikan 🙂
Pep kalo masukin photo lewat blogger aja dunk jangan flickr disini di banned huhuhuhu ga bisa liat 🙁
Ooooh I love ikan bawal…used to fry them a lot even though it does leave the fishy smell in my house. My favorite is to drench it with soy sauce…simple and delish. 🙂
