Cheesy Cheese Potato

My Rhumchoco cheesy cheese potato. Cut the potato into your likeable size - I always cut into finger size - steam for a while, and mixed with grated parmesan cheese, flour, eggs and last, the bread crumb..

Its my mom's recipe...originally, she doesn't peel off the skin potato..but me sometimes choose to make it skinless..Yummy!

Rhumchoco Booth Two

My weekender project decorating a new photobooth (well, it's nothing new) with my other fabric collections for my bestie..I am not sure about the color, it is something not perfectly matchy matchy...or too matchy matchy? I have to recreate with other color combo, I guess!



Eye Makeup

Pinata Clientele

My first Pinata clientele! I am not sure what's on their mind....were they happy, or did they think the Spongebob was not the "one"?  Anyway, they really made my day when I received this picture! I am happy and I am so thrilled to take another pinata challenges....

Ben 10? Princess? Hello Kitty? Barney?........Could I?

A Cook's Tour

One of my favorite show in Asian Food Channel is A Cook's Tour.

It is Anthony Bourdain who is so passionate to travel around more than a dozen countries in a search for the exotic and perfect meal.  When it said perfect meal, it is nothing perfect.  One thing I admired that he could eat anything...note : anything.....from a liver pate, an African-style cooking, a heart of a cobra, into a delicious fine dining gourmet.  He blends with the native to eat, talk and enjoy the meals....nothing pretentious! 

 

I wish I could be like him!

Pinata to Order

My Rhumchoco Pinata for my in law bestie.  It was completed within a day for a rush order and I was a bit sad for the result....the head and the face were not perfectly fit as I could imagine..well, does Spongebob actually have a head?

I am crossing my finger that my in law bestie will love it, in any case...please please please? No defense this is my 2nd timer...I still need to practise!

They have a great and delicious poffertjes,...my all-time father in-law fave...though I thought I am quite successful to cook the home-version poffertjes, but their version is always the best.

It's  fragrant, moist and reminding me of my grandma's kitchen when she baked!

Rhumchoco Photobooth

This was left from my youngest bday bash..my own creation for photobooth..I hang my Ikea fabrics, add some pompoms, my cable spool table and chair...

and voila!

Unfortunately, I don't have time to take my family pictures in front of it...sigh!

Mom & Son Talk

I hope this won't be happening to me and my eldest! My eldest is such a cutie...he's only 10 but he's my best friend and we do share stories everyday! Pinterest

Necklace

My weekender project with my home assistant..creating necklace for mom and me!

My mom's...

Mine...you just need a scrap fabrics and glued to felt! Easy..

Color Party

I was hosting my parents in law monthly gathering at my house.  I clubbed it together with my youngest, and in-laws...mom, sister, brothers birthdays.  No offense!

The confusing part was to choose the theme.  We are way, way too old to have bday party, so I took color as a theme.  Only color.  Why? because I did not have any theme to think about and it's more fit to our childhood memories!

The food?  Since it was monthly gathering, I choose a non-kid heavy meals! Nasi Liwet with  chicken wrapped pandan leave, rujak kangkung, fried tofu and shimeji mushroom and my own creation Kangkung Noddle with chicken wrapped enoki mushroom. Againnnnn....i didn't have the food pictures....to serve more than 50 people with only me, the hubby and my 2 home assistants to prepare were more than exhausting!

Rhumchoco Labels

My personalized labels for my homemade nugget for the besties...Yay !I printed this label from the free printable available here The Pretty Blog ..love it!

Rujak Kangkung

Homemade rujak kangkung from my teenie weenie little tiny farm..

Happy Necklace

I am back with handmade necklace and now busy attaching the labels...gifts for my office colleagues!

This was created by my home assistant....I asked her to craft this also for my youngest teachers at school and she's really proud of it..she wrapped it neatly and offering me to hand delivered it by herself!

Bobbi Brown

Likewise, I am bit crazy with makeup now. I started piling up my makeup collections without knowing what to do next...

My recent collection is Bobbi Brown. This product has been positively reviewed by beauty bloggers.
I love the lipstick.  It is long lasting, and moisturizing, quickly becoming one of my daily go-to lipstick. The eye shadow is quite pigmented, you need not to apply twice to get the look, recommended!

Green Spirit

You need to read this...10 ways of greener spirit! Vogue

Fuchsia Green

My new fuchsia and green collections with pompom from Alun-alun Indonesia..nice!



Healthy Homemade

This is my home version of Broccoli Cheese Chicken Nuggets for my bestie kiddos. 

I believe most of working moms had the same worries on the type of foods for our kids. We had limited time yet lazy to serve healthy homemade cooking.  Junk foods sometimes is our weapons.  I feel blessed to be able to develop my home assistant to recreate our home version of restaurant meals..fresh, no preservatives.

And now, I was so excited to make this......at least I could support a healthy campaign for our small community of the next generation!

Go Go Small Green

This is what happened when you are too intoxicated by the Go Green spirit....I even printed out the new prevailing law to review in the booklet printing mode.....It's way tooo small, the boss even says I am a stingy girl!

Technology

The kiddos and technology...can never get enough (sigh!)

Can you blame them or blame the parents for introducing the technology?

Brightspot Market

Visiting Brightspot Market at Plaza Senayan. First time ever visiting the anticipated local brands bazaar. The place was so packed but I managed to check out my fave brands : Nikicio, Cotton Ink, Happa, Geulis, Kle, and Milcah.

Some are with their latest collections, some with items I've bought months ago. The price is quite reasonable though for few items compared to international high street brands such Zara and Mango are quite pricey but it is always nice to see young Indonesian designers with their creative minds designing edgy collections. We do have to support Indonesia local products, in any case, don't we?

And the treasure hunt of the day, Oline workrobe with their unstructured cutting.

The necklace?no...it's my own handmade collection!..haha.

Spongebob Pinata

Meet my Rhumchoco handless and legless Spongebob Pinata!

...The project I am working on with my home assistant and my youngest!

Homemade Ice Stick

Nothing fancy but I like the result, my homemade ice stick..I was thinkin' to blend kiwi, broccoli with lime juice for my kiddos...will it taste better?

Proud Auntie

I am a proud auntie...they are so adorable!

Weekend Project

This is the weekender project i am working on lately....can you guess what it is?

Teacher vs Ipad

I was invited to be a guest teacher at my youngest kindergarten school. The topic was supposed to be NOSE. .When I came, the pupils mumbling for body parts....Gosh, I did not have the material!

The first 30 minutes, I managed to calm myself for the topic changes and taught them the NOSE..it's NOSE, N-O-S-E!

The last 30 minutes, I started to be clueless, singing done, dancing done..and now? Ah, I remembered  I had blank canvas apps on my Ipad! I quickly asked them to calm down, sitting on the carpet and letting them to draw anything they wanted one by one, for 19 kiddos!

It turned to be a fun success story...One kid was trying to draw twice and telling me that he's yet getting his turn....another kid was so upset and telling me he's gonna walk away from the class and go to buy Ipad on his own! Ayaya, isn't that cute?

PS :  The next days, I become the famous Mama, and the pupils following me around.....uhhmm, do they follow me or my Ipad? aha! I don't care... I am so happy!

Pasar Mayestik

I always love to go to the traditional market as you will feel the experience : the warm smile and people interaction. 

I love to hear the people chit chat, smiling, joking and laughing, without any pretention.  The storekeepers do have a good product knowledge, they know exactly what to get if we are clueless..the feeling that you won't get if you go to supermarket or malls..

One of my go-to market is Pasar Mayestik..as you can see, they have tremendous treasure collections..

A-colorful origami papers  B-cookies stainless mold and easily transform as your party decorator! C-colorful ice stick, yes they do have in color!  D-colorful plates for wall decoration  E-colorful tissue papers  F-big jars  G-necklace materials

and my treasure hunt of the day :



Salted Eggs

I was so excited, look what I got today in the office from my bestie.....can you see the beautiful yellow wrap and guess what's inside?

It's three home-made salted eggs beautifully wrapped in colorful crepe papers! So stylish and perfect! Huge hug!
