The great thing about going back to Dumai apart from being able to have a family get together and celebrate Pasha’s Granddaddy’s 63rd birthday, is the food. Previously, I wrote about lontong and now it will be about Bandrek and Sate. These are the food that this entry is all about. That’s why I did not have the time to look for visitors…
That’s the sate still packed. Notice the marketing effort that the owner has put into his sate. It’s not just some old newspapers or generic, blank wrapping paper. This one came with a logo, name and contact info. Banana leaf was a nice touch as well.
This is Mama Pasha’s favorite sate, the Sate Padang (beef). The yellowish spicy sauce made from a mixture of rice flour, coconut milk, turmeric and few other stuffs is the trademark of Sate Padang. I don’t quite like it as much as Mama Pasha does. I would normally just eat the sate without the sauce.
This is my favorite, the Sate Kambing (lamb). This version came with peanut sauce instead of soya sauce. I had the soya souce (Sate Kambing Bumbu Kecap) version on another night but did not snap the photo as it was too delicious to wait.
Last but not least, Bandrek, a special drink that I could not find anywhere else but Dumai. I could get the instant one from Jakarta but the taste is nowhere near the one made in Dumai. Bandrek is not even known in KL. Brought back some instant Bandrek home but they’re just not that nice…
Bandrek is made from a mixture of cinnamon sticks, star anise, cloves, coriander seeds, cardamom pods, lemongrass, Indonesian palm sugar (gula merah), milk, coconut and optionally, egg. I love mine with egg added. I can’t describe the taste. Only those who have teated Bandrek know what it taste like.
So, if anyone asked me, what’s more worth it than getting as many visitors as I could to this blog when a buffered earning from Nuffnang was on? The answers are all of the above. All Nuffnangers know that when you have a BE, the best thing to do is to get as many visitors to your blog as you can since that is the best way to maximize your BE earning. However, for me, BE came at not quite the right time…
The statistics taken from Nuffnang Analystics clearly showing a huge dip in visitors on the column labeled 01-Jan. That was the time that we were in Dumai, Indonesia. The two high spikes are the results of AFF Suzuki Cup 2010 and AJL25, repectively. Nevertheless, our lost there was our gain with our family in Dumai.
No BE or any number of visitors can beat that…
