Kreator soto angsa, Chef Budi Prasetyo mengatakan, pihaknya sengaja memilih daging angsa untuk alternatif karena, jarang digunakan sebagai bahan masakan.

“Jika dimasak dan dirasakan dagingnya tidak kalah enak dengan ayam.” ujar Budi yang juga merupakan Chef Kepala di hotel Lor in. Budi menambahkan, untuk membuat soto angsa tersebut diperlukan daging angsa yang beratnya antara 1,5-1,7 kg. ”Dengan usia angsa antara 4-5 bulan,” terangnya saat ditemui Timlo.net di dapur Lor In. Sedangkan untuk bumbunya sendiri sangat mudah didapat, seperti tomat, seledri, daun bawang.

Cara memasak soto angsa tersebut cukup mudah, setelah angsa dibersihkan rebus angsa selama 4-5 jam dengan menggunakan api sedang. Tekstur dagingnya berbeda sehingga memerlukan waktu agak lama. Selama menunggu daging masak, siapkan bahan-bahan pelengkap seperti ketupat, telur asin, berkedel, kerupuk, jeruk nipis, dan sambel hijau.

Budi menambahkan, menu soto angsa tersebut memang disiapkan untuk menyambut lebaran tahun ini. ”Saya sengaja menghidari membuat makanan yang menggunakan santan.” ungkap Budi.

Drink Halal Wine

AMSTERDAM (Reuters CAIRO) - Taner Tabak (35) have attempted to obtain a white Wine kosher certificate for two years, and now he has succeeded. "Kevserhelalwine" passed his test and get halal certification from the Quality Control Halal (Halal Quality Control - HQC).

Search Tabak will wine with alcohol content of 0% done at the request of the Muslims. At a meeting every Friday, they can not drink with colleagues and friends and a "Wine kosher" can be a solution for the problem.

Tabak study the process of making alcohol-free wine. Through a new technical process, which made him get a patent, Tabak, in cooperation with a German company, managed to make alcohol-free wine. Tabak said it had no drinks alcohol-free wine is said, but they do not pass the test HQC kosher because it still contains some alcohol.

HQC has a lot of requirements before they give a certificate to a product. An additional request to obtain such a certificate is hygienic regulations. They work under the consultation with the HQC. Tabak said, "Wine is not made kosher with it!"

Tabak target group not only Muslims, but more broadly. "What I was also targeted pregnant women, those who are affected by diabetes, they who have to drive after attending a party and therefore can not drink alcohol and so on."

Among the collection Tabak is red wine, white, and roses, too heavy wine. He was convinced of his delicacy of taste wine and recently challenged a Nicolaas Klei Wine expert to come and taste the wine.

Kevser name refers to a letter in the Qur'an, clearly Tabak. The letter speaks of kosher wine.

Tabak was not worried about the sale of wine - his. Countries like Malaysia, Azerbaijan, Dubai, and even Saudi Arabia have shown interest, Tabak said with enthusiasm.

Tabak Kevserhelalwine sells through his company, Talay Wine Company, with an average price of 6-7 euros (IDR 90000-100000).

"We've changed the haram into halal. Wine that tastes like wine but it is completely free of alcohol, and we produce it," says Tabak.

Tabak-made kosher wines are not the only alcoholic beverages that contain no alcohol. Last year, in France produced Chamalal, champagne kosher. Like champagne in general, this drink is also made from wine and bubbly, but alcohol-free.

Launched in September, just before the holy month of Ramadan in 2008, proved successful Chamala accepted in the country of origin of champagne. No single event will ever complete without his presence.
Champagne bubble kosher version is sold at a price about 60 euros (Rp 900,000) per bottle in some restaurants, but much cheaper if bought at the supermarket.

Inventors Chamalal, Rachid Gacem, said he saw a gap in the market for alcoholic beverages.

"When I came to the party and everyone drank alcohol, such as champagne, they often ask if I want to drink one glass. But we (Muslims) do not drink alcohol. Because I want to be part of the party, I want to drink something like champagne, but not the champagne. "
Responding to these drinks, not all Muslims necessarily agree. Some of the Muslims even questioned the dubious content Cham'alal content. As the comments in an online news site that writes about the launch Cham'alal, one of which reads, "Does it truly Wine carbonated beverage?".

Delicacies of Rujak Ice cream Yogya

In my hometown, Yogyakarta, this one is easy meals found, Rujak Ice cream. Typical menu of warm concoction is actually simple. A plate of salad containing a variety of fruits such as mango, bengkoang, papaya, and cucumber. Then, on top of the ice cream place. Do not imagine ice cream - soft ice cream its Walls or Campina. Ice cream on top of this salad ice class computers. But, it feels solid. Tasty and fresh.

Sugar sweet and spicy flavor of the salad, mixed with the sweet taste of milk ice cream, plus the sour taste of young mango and other fruits. It really is a unique blend. Especially enjoyed during hot weather. Hmm .. addictive!

In Yogyakarta, Rujak ice cream is usually sold with a wheelbarrow and easily found in places near the school complex, offices or housing.

Among the many vendors of this salad, there is one seller who became my subscription. It's on the New Road Ground Pogung km 4. If from the south (from the roundabout UGM), the last aisle before the gas station Kaliurang Km.4 Road, go about 500 yards.

Although only a simple shop, but quite comfortable. For, provided a shady bamboo hut with short tables. Rujaknya also recently made after an order.

In addition, buyers can determine their own levels of kepedasannya. Want to pepper one, three, ten, the free course. The price is really cheap too. Enough with the Rp 2,500 per share, a plate of salad ice cream ready to be enjoyed.

Stall is somewhat in demand. At certain hours, such as lunch hours or at 16:00 pm, the buyer must also be willing to queue. I believe ice cream salad can be an alternative food choices to try (Mmm. .. unfortunately can not serve as a souvenir!)
