Burger King Japan is bringing global warming home this summer... home for dinner! Hot on the heels of the wildly successful Angry Whopper, the fast food giant is set to roll out a burger that makes the AW seem as cute as Hello Kitty. It's called the "Crazy Whopper", and anyone crazy enough to try it can do so starting on Friday, July 23rd of 2010.
What's so crazy about the Crazy Whopper? The peppers are the point. The Angry Whopper gets its heat from green Jalapeno chili peppers, which rate about 5,000 on the Scoville scale. That sounds pretty high but so's the scale: pure Capsaicin scores 15 to 16 million.
Habanero peppers rate up to 500,000 and topping the list for cultivated peppers is India's Bhut Jolokia, the dreaded Ghost Chili. The Guinness World Records folks certified Bhut Jolokia as the world's hottest pepper in 2007, rating some cultivars at a searing 1,000,000 Scoville units! Now that's hot... fries with that?
No one assumes Burger King Japan will be layering slices of Ghost Chili peppers onto their whoppers come July 23rd. Instead, it's likely that some unspecified amount of Bhut Jolokia extract will be infused into a sauce that, while certainly peppery, won't be sending patrons into convulsions or causing them to spontaneously combust.
All BK-J will say for the time being is that the Crazy Whopper will be 30 times spicier than the Angry Whopper. Get your 570 yen (about $6.35) ready and bring LOTS of water. (via Japan Today, JPABC.net and Chokoball Cafe)

Rujak Ice cream Yogya
Di kota kelahiran saya, Yogyakarta, makanan yang satu ini gampang ditemukan, Rujak Ice cream. Racikan menu khas kota gudeg ini sebenarnya sederhana. Sepiring rujak berisi berbagai macam buah seperti mangga, bengkoang, pepaya, dan mentimun. Lalu, di atasnya di taruh Ice cream. Jangan dibayangkan ice cream - nya selembut es krim Walls atau Campina. Ice cream di atas rujak ini sekelas es puter. Tapi, rasanya mantap. Enak dan segar.
Manis gula jawa dan pedas dari bumbu rujak, bercampur dengan manis dari rasa susu ice cream, ditambah rasa asam dari mangga muda dan buah-buahan lainnya. Benar-benar merupakan paduan yang unik. Apalagi dinikmati saat cuaca panas. Hmm..bikin ketagihan!
Di Yogyakarta, Rujak ice cream ini biasa dijajakan dengan gerobak dorong dan mudah ditemui ditempat-tempat yang dekat dengan komplek sekolah, perkantoran atau perumahan.
Di antara sekian banyak penjaja rujak ini, ada satu penjual yang menjadi langganan saya. Letaknya di Pogung Baru Jalan Kaliurang km 4. Kalau dari arah selatan (dari arah bundaran UGM ), gang terakhir sebelum pompa bensin Jalan Kaliurang Km.4, masuk sekitar 500 meter.
Meski hanya warung sederhana, namun cukup nyaman. Sebab, disediakan gubuk bambu yang teduh dengan meja-meja pendek. Rujaknya juga baru dibikin setelah ada pesanan.
Di samping itu, pembeli bisa menentukan sendiri kadar kepedasannya. Mau cabai satu, tiga, sepuluh, bebas saja. Harganya juga murah kok. Cukup dengan Rp 2.500 per porsi, sepiring rujak es krim siap dinikmati.
Warung ini terbilang laris. Pada jam-jam tertentu, seperti jam makan siang atau jam 16.00 WIB,pembeli juga harus rela mengantri. Saya yakin rujak ice cream bisa menjadi salah satu alternatif pilihan makanan yang dicoba (Mmm...sayangnya tidak bisa dijadikan oleh-oleh!)

Ayo Makan di Abuba
Hampir dua tahun saya tidak mencicipi Steak favorit ini. Akhirnya minggu lalu, saya pun berangkat untuk kembali mencicipi menu favorit satu ini, rasanya waow...... tetap tidak berubah meski saya sudah menjadi pelanggan tetapnya selama 13 tahun....! Rasanya tetap aduhai..... apalagi dengan campuran sayuran dan kentang gorengnya. Jangan tanya deh.... saya bisa egois makan sendiri !. hmmmhhh........
Seperti biasa saya memesan menu favorit Sirloin Steak, sementara suami saya memesan Tenderloin Steak.
Seingat saya terakhir kali makan di Abuba itu sudah sangat lama sekali, sekitar setahun lalu, jadi ketika makanan datang, kami langsung menyantapnya, dan rasa steak-nya masih sama seperti yg dulu, bahkan lebih enak menurut saya. Mak Nyuss sekali rasanya, seperti kata Bondan Winarno.
Daging yang dimasak sudah sangat matang dan dihidangkan dengan pembakaran yang sempurna. Berhubung pelanggan setia, nggak usah minta dibakar seperti apa. Rasanya yah...... memang sangat empuk sekali. Kuah dan bumbu yang disiramkan di atas Steak juga sangat pas di lidah. Dengan sayuran dan kentang yang lumayan banyak, untuk saya Abuba Steak memang tetap cihuy....!!
Satu kelebihan Abuba steak adalah tersedianya berbagai macam saos dan sambal botolan, yang memungkinkan anda untuk meracik sendiri menu saos yang pas untuk steak anda. Jangan lupa ada juga mustard, kecap asin dan kecap manis, lengkap deh semua.
Harganya lumayan nggak mahal lah untuk ukuran steak. Mulai dari Rp. 40.000 hingga Rp. 80.000 untuk daging Amerika, sedang untuk daging lokal hanya sekitar 20 ribu an, harga yang sebanding dengan rasa dan sajian dari sebuah steak.
Yang pasti, di lidah saya sekarang sudah terbayang kembali bumbu dan steak yang saya makan kemarin. Waduh..... Steak Abuba memang selalu membuat kita nagih untuk selalu datang kesana. Mak Nyuss tenan memang !

Sate is one of the most popular food in Indonesia. Many areas in this archipelago have sate menu. Therefore you know the sate padang, sate madura, banjo sate, sate betawi, maranggi sate, sate Blora, sate ponorogo, and so forth. Types of meat also varied, from chicken to turtles, from clams to torpedo. The dish can you get with ease, from street stalls to fancy restaurants.
But have you ever heard of the sate of Japan? Japanese sate also called yakitori, sate is not much different in Indonesia. How to cook it as well by burning, with a wide range of meat, no different than the typical Indonesian satay.
Although many have similarities, the differences between typical Indonesian satay and yakitori are also quite striking. Food in Japan are generally treated with a healthy manner and materials. It is also applied in the manufacture of yakitori. If the usual sate skewers we know is that many contain soy sauce and oil, yakitori not contain a lot of oil and prefer the use of salt.
The basic ingredients are chicken yakitori own, according to the meaning of the word tori which means chicken. All parts of chicken, such as thighs, skin, liver, etc., can be used for yakitori. In Japan, the chicken sate was then burned on the wood charcoal. This determines the quality of wood charcoal taste satenya. Hardwood charcoal and aromatic produce a more delicious satay, rather than a cheaper wood charcoal, or a grilled over a gas stove and electric grill. Some sellers use free-range chicken yakitori (jidori), which is more tough than regular chicken, but rather have a taste.
In their home country, yakitori popular among middle-class office workers as a snack after work on the way to the train station. Yakitori are sold at the yakitori-ya, (restaurant or food stalls on the roadside). Often times other than dyed with barbeque sauce (before baking), chicken meat was also doused with cold beer. Wow ... like what, ya feel? They end the meal with a swig of sake.

Ice cream with Soy
Who does not like Ice cream? In addition to the sweet taste and cold, ice cream can also generate a better mood so loh. If ice cream is usually made from cow's milk, well this time ice cream made from soy? Like what ya like?
No one ever refused if offered with a bowl of ice cream, cold drinks made from cow's milk with a variant of this feeling a lot penggenarnya both young and old. But what happens if the ice cream is made from soy? Hmm .. first I hesitated whether ice cream flavor it would be equal to flavor ice cream is made from cow's milk.
After trying it turns out it's quite nice loh! Cow's milk is a main ingredient was replaced with soy milk. The manufacturing process remains the same only the main ingredients are different. But according to the manager, there are few limitations. Ice cream from soy milk can only be made into a sense of just three variants, namely vanilla, strawberry and chocolate.
Sense of others are still in the search process. The texture of ice cream - his own gentle enough not much different from ice cream in general, but for me ice cream from soy milk is similar to ice puter. And if the feeling really smell and taste of soybean is still quite pronounced.
But it did not disappoint. Ice cream or lots of soy milk that have called out this ice cream can be encountered in the Public Know located in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta. In addition, soy ice cream is suitable for those who are allergic to cow's milk, especially children, also for those who have fat diet. Can still eat ice cream, but still healthy. (Eka / Odi)

Delicacies of Duck Soto
Bored with chicken Soto, does not hurt to try other new menu. Perhaps the duck soup could be a new menu which is obliged to eat.
If not, and curious, just come to the Center Culinary Indrapura Indrapura Street, Surabaya. Of the dozens of stands that are there, just go to Soto-managed Dewey Duck and Sufriyah Muafi couples.
Duck soup is served separately in 3 containers. A bowl of soup, a plate of rice cake and a mortar containing lime and chili slices. From appearances, it briefly looked like a duck soup with curry gravy orange turbid, in contrast with most of the soup broth yellow nodes.
Once eaten, Hmmmmm ... feeling fishy and tough from duck meat would disappear instantly. The meat was tender and there was absolutely no fishy taste. Seasonings rempahnya really fresh burst in
Spicy flavor of chili sliced very fine and so delicious, evenly offset the delicious broth soup. Rice cake on a plate would be demolished in an instant. Following tradition, it is recommended rice cake soup eaten with duck, of course, in addition to rice which is also provided. A serving of duck soup valued USD 10 thousand. If you want to add offal, also added money to Rp 7,500.
Muafi bit shared secret recipe duck soup. In general, the same as duck soup seasoning soup in general. The difference is kaldunya. The broth itself is a recipe handed down from grandmother of the wife's family, Sufriyah. The recipe had died 15 years before revived by Sufriyah. Previously, in Bangkalan, Madura, Sufriyah grandmother had open stalls duck soup.
Since no one is to continue the business plus grandmother who had advanced age, the shop is closed. Seeing no business opportunity, direct Muafi rented a booth in the center of Culinary Indrapura.
Together with his wife, father of 3 children were trying to revive the duck soup. According to a survey conducted Muafi, there is no duck soup in Surabaya, East Java and even. Even if there is, recipes and ingredients will be different.
"This was a recipe from my wife's grandmother. Now I go again," he said while talking to detiksurabaya.com, Monday (10/25/2010). (IWD / wln)
