Pangsit, One of Indonesian Snack

 

 

Yes, it's called pangsit. Usually we eat pangsit with chicken soup noodle (Bahasa is mi ayam) or bakso (meat ball soup). Several days ago I made pangsit from minched chicken. I made pangsit unintentionally, I wanted to make egg martabak (another Indonesian snack also using pastry sheets) but I had some left over sheets so I decided to make pangsit.

 

Actually, I don't like pangsit very much. When I was in Indonesia, I used to buy bakso without pangsit. But since I live in Newcastle, I miss everything about Indonesian culinary, including pangsit. So I prepared all the ingredients and started to make it. Preparing the stuffing was easy and quick, but the most difficult thing was folding the pastry sheets. It was very tricky and wasting time. My legs also very tired because I stood in the kitchen for hours folding it one by one. Oh...that was a hard work. But I don't know why the price of pangsit in my country was very cheap. It was about 4 pangsit only for 5 pence. Very cheap isn't? I feel very sorry for the seller, I think that's not fair enough with all the hard work. Thinking about the price and all the culinary things just make me miss my country more and more.

 

 

#Ayat hari ini;

Surat Al-Baqarah (Sapi Betina) ayat 51-55):

 

51. Dan (ingatlah) ketika Kami menjanjikan kepada Musa empat puluh malam. Kemudian kamu (Bani Israil) menjadikan (patung) anak sapi (sebagai sesembahan) setelah (kepergian) nya, dan kamu (menjadi) orang yang zalim.

 

52. Kemudian Kami memaafkan kamu setelah itu, agar kamu bersyukur.

 

53. Dan (ingatlah), ketika Kami memberikan kepada Musa Kitab dan Furqan, agar kamu memperoleh petunjuk.

 

54. Dan (ingatlah) ketika Musa berkata kepada kaumnya, "Wahai kaumku! Kamu benar-benar telah menzalimi dirimu sendiri dengan menjadikan (patung) anak sapi (sebagai sesembahan), karena itu bertobatlah kepada Penciptamu dan bunuhlah dirimu. Itu lebih baik bagimu di sisi Penciptamu. Dia akan menerima tobatmu. Sungguh, Dialah Yang Maha Penerima Tobat, Maha Penyayang.

 

55. Dan (ingatlah) ketika kamu berkata, "Wahai Musa!Kami tidak akan beriman kepadamu sebelum kami melihat Allah dengan jelas," maka halilintar menyambarmu, sedang kamu menyaksikan.
