In my church (Hartford United Methodist), we have coffee hour.
On the last Sunday, Bonita became host for coffee hour. My mom helped her.
My mom made some Indonesian food, LONTONG (that is filled by meat).
What is Lontong? It is made by rice. The rice is boiled for about 2 hours. (for the cooking stuff, my mom knows better than me. So, ask her if you want to know the detail).
But, let take the closer look to at it:
The wrapper is made from banana leaves (so be careful, don't eat them!)
This is the inside of Lontong.
And, what was the reaction of our friend? Fortunately, they seems to be curious and took some Lontong, even though they never know this food before.
Some of them said that this food is similar to a Mexican food (I forget the name).
And the funny thing was, they called this food "Rice Cookie". Hahaha... Lontong got a new name!
| If you don't know what is "coffee hour" mean, it is a little snack time after worship at the church's dining room. Maybe it is more like social hour because not only we get food, also we could have some conversation with the community. Sometimes, there could be a lot of food for some special events. It could also be "brunch" (abbreviation from "breakfast-lunch"). |

ReplyDeleterice cookies? ha ha ha :D
better for them to try to learn how to say "lontong" cause it will be getting weird if we translate it to "rice cookies".
so,did they finished it all? did they enjoyed it?
aahhhh...i wish i could be there....
yummy!! go go lontong!! *go international*
ReplyDeleteThe name of Mexican food which similar with lontong is "tamales".
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to let them know the Indonesian food. Some of them didn't know how to eat (I said just unwrapped and eat, ha ha...), what is made from, what kind of leaf and where to buy it (could buy those at Asia store in Watervliet, I knew that store from Laura J Busch).
Of course specially for Mikha I put tuna and chili inside.
Rice cookie (lontong)look so yummie....
