If there is a Chinese Indonesian wedding in Tangerang, there must be Gado-gado being served, they call it Gado-gado Penganten. "Penganten" means bride and groom :). The different between this one and regular one is that Gado-gado Penganten consists raw and simple vegetables and the regular one consists boiled and many different vegetables. The same thing between both of them is that both are so de.. licious! Right now i'd like to share Gado-gado Penganten recipe, it is much more simple than the other one.

Mie Ayam is very popular in Indonesia, actually it is noodle soup with chicken topping. Usually the noodle is served separately with the soup so the customers can adjust how much soup they want to be added to their noodle.
I've heard someone said if you want to make a good noodle, use duck egg instead of chicken egg, it gives you better texture. Since i didn't find duck egg here, i couldn't prove what he said. Anyway this noodle recipe is quiet good, i think it is similar with pasta dough (more or less).
The chicken topping in this recipe is more like chinese style chicken, i got the recipe from my uncle who runned a small noodle restaurant few years ago.
Noodle Recipe:
300 gr flour
2 eggs
water 4 tbs
1/2 tsp salt
Tip:
-if you want the noodle to be more elastic, add 1 egg white instead of water.
-sprinkle with corn starch before cut the noodle if you don't cook it right away, so the noodle wont become sticky

Gulasch is a kind of red bell pepper beef stew. I thought it is Austrian dish but i was wrong, it is Hungarian (they call it gulyás). But anyway no matter where it came from, it is everyone's favorite. In Austria Gulasch is served with Semmelknödel, pasta (normally fussili), or potato. There is another famous kind of Gulasch called Erdäpfelgulasch made from potato and sausage in stead of beef. Next time i will share the recipe, but for now i want to share the traditional one.
