Good thing about making friends with Indonesian while you are abroad.

They love to share what they have and never hesitate to help other Indonesian. I am so grateful to meet Indo friends in the group of Indo dance!

Mbak Annie (one of the members) and me were practicing dance for last week’s performance and while we took a rest, she brought me lot of stuff and asked if I needed the instant spices to cook at home. I said hmm yeah, I wanted rendang spice since I don’t think I can buy the complete raw ingredients from Asian market (not all available in my nearest Asian market) and she agreed to give everything that she had. Furthermore, she never cook with spices. She just bought and kept it, that’s why most of the spices are expired. LOL.

I took few spices that I need, like sour vegetable soup (we call it ‘sayur asem’ in indonesian language), rawon and other spices. SOOO HAPPY!!! Finally, I can cook rendang and other Indo foods again that are hard to cook!
