Since I live in Goa-India, of course I experienced Indian Monsoon where the rain downpours from the sky to make Goa is probably its most beautiful with greenery sprouting all around. During monsoon Goa will always rain, rain and rain, the tropical thunderstorm would be performing either and the skies without absence of colour in otherwise dull grey. Goa reveals the peak of monsoon would be between June to late September which is in July is the month that receives full blast of rainfall. In last week which in my opinion perhaps, where Goa monsoon starts giving its little hint of being ready as typical Goa Monsoon about to land, I saw the skies really performed quite freaking me out during our BBQ picnic right down to the beach, somewhat I heard from the radio in the car while on the way to picnic place that north part had received beautiful shower rain of monsoon and few part in south either. I believed all peoples must be so relieved had chanced to get away from the heats! **Today the ...

Adore to somebody foods and recipes it’s a natural feeling, being fond of it--eager to it, I believe you would illustrate of the best sensation food you ever tasted before! Since then, I was pretty often without hesitation and humbly polite asking of other people foods especially the recipes, how to make it and what the trick is, even though I felt the person who I asked for is appear being innocent speechless--kind of blur where it has to start from. Shall we sitting together and let me know what it is all about? I'll stick my memory on rather than piece of paper *wink Anyway there is a friend of mine always being kindly and compassionately about his flawless foods especially typical authentic Chinese food. Since last 2006 we have separated by the ocean, he and his wife have to moved out to other country for other job but our regularly conversations subject via chat messenger is **Foods and beyond **wink! Thanks to you Jo! I have never imagined how I can modify the recipe with...

Kolak is very popular as classic Indonesian dessert, in fact it’s usually eaten as appetizer instead, it’s could be serve warm or chilled somewhat I prefer chilled. To give the soup which made of coconut milk more appetizing fragrant and flavour we used to add in pandanus leaf , there are also some various maker of kolak have a preference adding jackfruit if its comes to a season as wish-for to get more mouth-water equivalent sweet soup as a dessert. To be honest I am not a huge fans of sweet-tooth the fact I do love dessert but if it contains too much sweetener, I would rather have something else which in sourish. I feel like to have chill Kolak labuh kuning (Classic Indonesian sweet pumpkin soup) as my company of my late afternoon, having it peace while watching some program on TV oh! "Please don’t compare with your lime sorbet or I will go for both" wink.. I had little puzzled with my pumpkin past few days ago, it just sitting nicely in my fridge before...
