Fermented Cassava Cake with Cheddar Cheese (Kue Tape Keju)


Tapai (ta-pie) or tape (ta-peh), is a traditional fermented food found throughout much of East- and Southeast Asia. It's a sweet or sour alcoholic paste.
I bought it in an Indonesian cultural event and apparently after 2 weeks, it was still sitting silently in the fridge!
So my husband suggested me to make a cake from the fermented cassava. But I found a better recipe, the one that combines fermented cassava and cheddar cheese.

Pain Au Chocolat (Chocolate Croissant)


Have you ever tasted Trader Joe's croissant? I had it during summer holiday at my sister's house, and it was so good. I was falling in love to it without a doubt. Maybe that was the reason I never really wanted to make my own croissant.
I was not really sure how I was brought into the youtube video showing how to make a croissant. But it really surprised me in a way that it involves creating many layers of butter and dough. It needs time and patience. And I felt very challenged.
