Love it! =)
Now, gotta tweak the comment.php to get it to work properly. Sigh.

Kue Mangkok
Price $3 (4 pieces)
darn expensive, no?
(”Kue” = cake and “Mangkok” = bowl)
I have no clue what the English name for this O_O
and also clueless how to make these pretty kue..
Since they’re so pretty and colorful, I couldn’t eat it until like a day later hahaha..
These pretty thing remind me of moo ji gae dduk (Korean rainbow rice cake) Yosi bought the other day (but oh boy, I don’t like the taste… too plain and tasteless for me). But these kue mangkok, they worth every penny I spent.
(3 bucks for 4 pieces. I can prolly get 2 dozen of them in Jakarta lol)
Pisang molen

Pisang molen is a traditional Indonesian pastry filled with banana and cheese.
“Pisang” (read: pee-sāng) means “banana” in Indonesian, and “molen” is Dutch for mill (or roll), so literally, the English name for Pisang Molen is, Banana Roll? Hahaha.. sounds funny.
Anyways.
Pisang molen, they’re so easy to make. Trust me. I enjoy baking and cooking, but only if they’re easy to make and doesn’t take too much time to do it. LOL *yes, me, lazy bum when it comes to baking LOL… I rather cook, somehow* so, okay, onto the recipe now..
Ingredients:
- Frozen pastries (bought at JONS’ , and I think the brand is Jerky Pastry, but you can always use any ready-to-use frozen pastries, or make your own)
- Bananas (8-10 ripe ones, so that they’re already sweet)
- Cheese (Kraft Processed Cheese in loaves/Kraft Singles for sandwiches would work too)
Now the cheese is a bit tricky because technically, it’d be better to use cheese that cannot be melt during the baking process.
What cheese won’t melt under 350 F ? Well, there’s this Kraft processed cheese, which I can only buy when I’m in Jakarta (lol), so if you can’t get those kind of cheese, just use any cheese you like =)
So, you cut the banana into 3-4 and cut them in half to sandwich the cheese in the middle.
Roll the pastries to cover the filling and later on, brush egg yolk on top before putting them in the oven.
Bake for 35-40 mins until they’re cooked and ready. :)
Persistent

Have u ever had this kind of day?
Woken up because of some loud noise, but this time, the noise came from outside the bedroom window. The wind, blowing like there’s no tomorrow. And it turns out that it was super heavily windy outside. Whoos…whoos… then the eletricty went off, so we had no power for a while.
With the bad weather outside, today in mass @ St. Bernardine’s, Father McNamara said something that made me nod my head. He said like this, “The message for today is, Persistent. I want to congratulate you for being very persistent today, to come out here to church, despite of all the winds outside. You all are persistent people.”
What he said was quite true. We’re often tempted to do things outside what we’re supposed to do. For example, with bad weather outside, I was soooo tempted to just stay in bed and be super lazy on a Sunday like this. But, really, when we’re being persistent to do things we need to do, or supposed to do, there comes the fulfilling sense within ourselves that we’ve done our best. We did it. We made it.
It was a simple message, but yet so true.
Be persistent, O my soul…
(I humbly bow before Your Majesty… I’m captivated by Your love in me.)
No Greater Love

RACHEL LAMPA “No Greater Love”
Before I knew Your Name,
You knew my ev’ry breath.
Before I found my way,
You knew my ev’ry step.
Before I knew everything that I need,
You gave it all to me.
No greater love than this
That You should lay down Your life
For someone such as me;
I’d spend a lifetime wondering why.
The Beauty of Heaven
Is here in my heart
And I know there can be
No greater love… than this.
I never understood
How merciful Love could be,
Until I felt His Flame
Light every part of me
And I would give everything that I am
’cause I have been saved
Yes, I have been saved!
No greater love than this
That You should lay down Your life
For someone such as me
I’d spend a lifetime wondering why.
The Beauty of Heaven
Is here in my heart
And I know there can be
No greater love.
The Beauty of Heaven
Is here in my heart
And I know there can be
No greater love…
For someone such as me.
No greater love… than this.
