We’ve ordered some Pempek (or Empek-Empek) from a local catering service in Dallas. I’ve eaten this during my stay in Jakarta and I really enjoyed it. So what is Empek-Empek? Here is a snip taken from Wikipedia.
Pempek or Empek-Empek is a delicacy from Palembang which is made of fish and sago. Pempek is eaten together with a dark sauce called cuka or cuko (in bahasa Palembang). Cuko is produced from adding brown sugar, chili pepper, garlic, vinegar, and salt into hot boiling water.

With so much left over shrimp in my fridge I need to use them before their freshness totally disappear. What kind of dish can I make that would be fairly quick and make a good use of all the shrimp? Then an idea pops in my head, Shrimp burger!

I’ve been to Japan only once, and strolling around Tokyo I found so many good looking lunch boxes, even from a convenient store. Seven years after my visit to Japan, I met my wife in college, which coincidently is a Japanese. She’s an amazing cook, while not only limited to Japanese food; her Japanese cooking is simply amazing.
So I’m sharing the bento box pictures my wife made for my sister and me for lunch almost everyday. These Bento boxes are tastier if you eat it several hours from its packing. Enjoy!
