    You're right. I thought he used candle nut too in his recipe, which we usually do. Slower video: I never eat it like macadamia or hazelnut. I don't think any Indonesian do that 😄. So I guess, just for thickener.

    Temulawak/curcuma is not kunyit/kunir/turmeric. Indeed they all look almost the same fresh and in powder and all yellow 😄.

    Today's menu:

    Crushed fine with mortar & pestle or food processor to make batter thicker/creamy in sauce, curry paste, sambal. It's called that way because of its waxy character. An example: Ignore the drinks, it sponsors the video but has nothing to do with the recipe at all.

    What's up with forced Pulsa?

    Telkomsel have "Halo", postpaid service and the rest are prepaid service. After you buy credit/pulsa your number is active around 30 days or more. If you don't refill your pulsa after this active period, your number enters grace period (masa tenggang) for another 30 days. If you don't use your...

    Permit of construction/IMB

    If demand of house/building is high in that area, or she can sell it quickly, than it is an advantage to build & sell. Land price goes mostly higher but the building itself can quickly devalue. It's something to consider.

    The future and the role of Artificial intelligence.

    Soon or later. Maybe not the biggest bos though. Company wants to win, at all times 24/7 if it's possible. Imagine (AI) boss/manager that is always there, never be sick, has no bias whether you are attractive or not, whether the employee is family related to him/her or not, can think the best...

    House Construction Questions

    Just read another info. But check it with your local government if this is correct: When the IMB periode is over, one can ask for one time extension for max. 24 months. The request should be done max. 5 work days for the periode ends.

    House Construction Questions

    I never heard of IMB sementara. Do you mean, you have IMB but you haven't started the construction yet? In that case, when the period ends, the current IMB is not valid anymore and you have to apply again. Building permit is now called PBG (peraturan bangunan gedung).

    Wonders and curiosities

    I have to admit that even I helped with house chores, leaving my parents house has definitely encourage me to upgrade those skills 😄. But when I visit my mom, of course it feels nice when she cooks for me 🥰. Yes, being dependent means also makes someone uncertain about their own capability. And...

    Wonders and curiosities

    The first private media company for tv (I think) is RCTI. First launched in 1989. Before, we have TVRI only, government managed tv channel. There were Little House in The Prairie or Bonanza but you can google what kind of most programs what TVRI had back then 😄. When RCTI came, it was a...

    Wonders and curiosities

    I reply your question here. It's cultural thing. In general in Asia, people are reluctant to grow old (or grow up 😅). We embrace the youth periode and want to keep being young regardless some genetic advantage. Aside from language influence, that's why women use high pitch voice. Teenagers and...

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    If your fiancé convert to your religion, it can be asked with the reason "istri ikut suami" - which is quite reasonable and acceptable in Indonesia. But yes, normally Catholic church will ask you to follow long course, can be 1 year long. I know some Protestant churches that will just ask you...

    Financial matter aside, vegetable oil is to fry, other type oils are beter for salad/cold dishes. Indonesian fries stuff a lot. Indonesian salad use mostly sauces that don't need oil and not everybody is open to taste of different kind of oils. I have flax seed oil due to my curiousness. It's a...

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    Not full. Just one, inherited by Adam and Eve 😁. I understand your point. Regardless your opinion, if you believe people should free to choose, they may also choose to follow rituals of their religion right?

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    It'a possible to put the name of the father without marriage but they have to prove it first (eg. with DNA test) and get court ruling - which is another hassle. Indonesia has her own law and regulation - however it doesn't make sense for you - and from what I read, OP & partner want to live here.

    Today's menu:

    Never heard about Ayam Sebatu. Is it type of chicken breed? Or do you mean ayam betutu? People like ayam kampung because it's lack of fat. It's used in soup to make clearer broth. Many Indonesian don't mind tough chicken meat or dry beef. Either we don't know better or we think it should be...

    I want to say something about food, related to the previous post. But I place the following here, so it won't derail the original topic. My mom said, Chinese (maybe other Asian too?) people will conciously have some left over just in case they have unannounced family/friends/guest coming after...
