See you there!
Will you?
Turned out that Blogsome.com really is closing down 🙂
Not that i’m not happy here, i am, but i think ultimately i decided to continue on Blogger.com.
All the old archives will be kept here, safely and– hopefully– for good. So no worries.
While i’m breaking my bones building the new baking realm, please sit down and take your time reminiscing my old baking posts. Nostalgic, like the ice tea in your hands.
Once again i hope you’ll stick with me. Will you?
Wakatobi!
The fish were so fresh you can see the bones hadn’t even changed color a bit! It’s turquoise blue!
This is just a short share of my backpacking to Wakatobi, Southeast Sulawesi, last year, where food were as fresh as the air and the sea and the sky. We spent most of our days in the sea, so fish were abundant. When hunger struck, we would meet any fishermen and bought fish from them. Fifty thousand Rupiahs and we got a big bucket of fresh fish! And I meant as fresh as just captured! Continue reading “Wakatobi!”
Just released: Food Photography For Everyone. Yes, everyone!
How is it to take a food photo that really works? Can I use my simple pocket camera? How can I start with my entry level DSLR? How is it to perform a photo session when I am on a budget, have only few equipment and choking constraining time? How does different lighting make the food different? What is it about focus, DoF, PoI, angle, composition, styling, props? What are they really all about? I just want to take a good food photo. Period. How?

Kecipir and Rebon for Mountain Climbing!
Just a simple update on my contribution for UMU Magz #3, a mountain climbing e-magazine. Having said goodbye to personal projects and ultimately made peace with it, hopefully have stopped being in denial trying to convince myself that one day, one fine day, one good bright sunny day, I would go back to those good old times, I happily share one of my favorite simple dish invented back in those days.
From Bangkok With Love
In my confusion of whether or not Blogsome is ending its service (so I double-posted this to my old Blogsome blog), I found myself sitting by my kitchen table one afternoon. Tea with honey. And some sweet nibbles. I remembered wanting to post this but something always got in the way. Like my procrastination habit, that is.
Kenny, a senior writer of Lifestyle+Travel magazine in Bangkok, emailed me one day. He was compiling food blogs for an article in their food-inspired issue and wanted to mention this blog and used some photos. An over-excited me, agreed in a split second :D.
Hey, you :)
I’m glad you’re here, because most probably you followed a link from my old kitchen on pennylanekitchen.blogsome.com that is about to be closing down in a matter of hours now. Thank you for believing in me.
This new place is still a mess right now, I dunno if I ever get it together, knowing that I needed one whole year to complete the old design in blogsome.com. Hopefully I can break the curse!
The design, of course, will be changing. I still want my “egg” to be up there 🙂
So, yeah. I hope you stay around.
(i meant: don’t leave me!)
Love,
The Islands of Spices! – and a girl in love..
Just got back from 2 weeks voyage across Ternate – Raja Ampat – Banda Neira – Ambon, where I went crazy for Kue Pisang Kenari, Guraka, Terong Saus Kenari, Cinnamon Tea and Nutmeg Jam!
Adventure-wise, I had an unforgettable journey of a lifetime. Food-wise, I’m deeply in love.
