Indonesian Culinary Haven - Jajan Bareng di Festival Jajajan Bango 2019

Kelezatan Asli Lintas Generasi

Siapa yang suka jajan di sini?
I do!

Indonesia has been well-known for its amazing culinary.
Traditional food as well as beverages in Indonesia vary and can be pretty much found in every corner of this country.  Encompassing more than 17 thousands islands (yup, you read it correctly, more than 17.000 islands), different cultural background, geographical situation and specific vegetation as well as natural resources from that particular area.

It can be a bit overwhelming as the choices are more than abundant!

In Lampung, my home, for example.
We have Pindang Patin, Pempek or fish cake with sweet sour sauce or cuka, sambal seruit, tempoyak, keripik pisang, kue engkak, segubal, and so many more. Not to mention popular food like Bakso Sony, Pempek 123, siomay Edy, kripik pisang Suseno and Mie Lampung. I just realize I can't stop listing all those yummy food.

Well, considering this foodie culture of Indonesians, Kecap Bango or one of the leading manufactures of the sweet soy sauce, takes this opportunity to gather famous street food vendors from different corners of Indonesia in one big festival.

Festival Jajanan Bango 2019

The Festival was held in the parking lot of Squash Field, Bung Karno Sports Complex, Jakarta, from 15 - 17 March 2019.

In English, perhaps the best way of translating Jajajan is snacks, but usually we buy our jajanan in our favorite street food vendors or small corners in particular areas, traditional markets or malls. Most of the time, the places are way scattered here and there, even located in different provinces.

Then in this Festival, we have them all coming for us!
Yaaaay!
There are 83 vendors joining the event so you can imagine how delicious our trip here!

Some of those famous food vendors are located near my house in Rawamangun, Jakarta.

But some of them are not even in Jakarta!

Welcome to FJB 2019

We came on Sunday, the last day of the Festival and for sure it was already packed since the morning when they started at 11 AM.

We arrived at 12. 15 as we needed to look for a parking spot, which proved to be a big problem for us.

Nevertheless, after lining up and registering ourselves online for the free entry, we finally got inside. We went to special tent to see short stories about Kecap Bango and its contribution to the preservation of Indonesia's traditional culinary. For sure, Kecap Bango has been there for generations and my family loves it!.

After the tens, we finally arrived to the open area where the Festival was held and this is what we had!

FOOD COMA!

LOL.

As it was packed and everyone was pretty much craving for what they love, the line was super long! It was quite a disadvantage for us as it was hot, we were hungry, and we lined up for quite sometimes. But well, it was a special festival with some nostalgic food that I didn't want to miss so we did line up in many of those spots. I only managed to queue at 6 vendors and that took me around 1.5 hours only to line up and get my food ready. 

The main stage in the center.

I hope next Festival they will use better time management in order to avoid such long queues everywhere. Since I didn't get empty seats either, we took away most of the food and enjoyed them at home. Oh ya...Sariwangi , our famous Indonesian tea, was also the official tea of this Festival. And when you bought food at 5 or 10 booths, got the stamps for each booth and you could change that with free goodies as well!

Here are some of the photos I took during the festival.
Wanna know what food I managed to buy and try?
Here we go..

First I lined up at Mie Aceh Seulawah and bought a pack of delicious and spicy Mie Aceh.

Mie Aceh Seulawah

I like it because it comes with kerupuk and emping, as well as onion and pickles, which make it special.

It's sooo good and spicy! Love it!

 Then we lined up at Sate Padang Ajo Ramon.

The original Sate Padang Ajo Ramon

Very famous Padangnese Satay and it's super special because the sauce is specially made of beef broth, Indonesian traditional mixed spices, and rice flour.
I wrote the recipe of Sate Padang and tried making it in NYC as well! 
Check it out here Sate Padang - Padangnese Satay

More food we got here can be seen from these photos as well.

Like  Sate dan Tongseng Pak H. Budi Asli Solo!

Can you imagine the traditional Tongseng, or spicy beef stew, cooked traditionally using the charcoal? Even the smell is certainly different. More delicious!

And as they used special diner plates from Kecap Bango,  we saw many dishes here and there. The clean ones and the dirty ones as well.

This is before...

This is after...

All in all, I love the Festival and I guess I will be happy to come back next year.

There are many vendors which had long queues that I didn't manage to try.

Like this Sate Maranggi, for example. Although I have tried the original ones years ago, I feel like trying it again here.

Some risoles, bakso and ketimus for you to try!

We need to come earlier and obviously more prepared as well.

My kids were complaining because they were tired after our morning jogging before coming down here.

And for sure, I have more YouTube videos from this festival :).
Check this one out!

So, what do you think about the festival?
Do you like coming and joining a food festival like this?
Any particular Indonesian food that you enjoy?

See you at Festival Jajanan Bango 2020!

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

Another week and how lovely the last weekend for us, the Frakarsas.

As you know, whenever we have time, we always try to go back home to Lampung to meet our big family and enjoy its beautiful beaches as well as underwater beauty!

We love them all!

And never get enough of it.
Well, for us, quality time is indeed precious and the fact that you can combine it with traveling or doing things that you love will be best indeed.

Clear blue sky!

This time, I managed to go diving in Batu Mandi, Lelangga Island and Pahawang Island in Lampung Bay. Go check my previous post at WW: Diving Trip in Lampung  for more photos.

While diving, I took a lot of amateur photos and video with my G15 Canon. 
I feel like I need to upgrade my underwater gadget as I am planning to dive more and more. But it's indeed expensive, as I have checked the prices while we were in NYC.
Nevertheless, I will continue diving and taking underwater pictures :).

If you have read my previous posts about diving, underwater photography is NOT that easy.
I mean, you have a lot to work on when it comes to underwater photography as you are taking pictures while driving or snorkeling.
I am still learning how to do it properly, using the camera and underwater casing I have.

For the diving trip I made this time, we did it in the middle of a rainy day.
Sometimes the underwater current is not that bad eventhough up there it's raining hard.
But somehow, we had strong under current went we went diving in Batu Mandi.
This very spot is famous for its walls as well as various colorful reefs and fish, but since the under current was strong, I really had to struggle with my camera.

Anyhow, I managed to shot some clips.
Wanna see nemo, the clown fish? Check out my YouTube video down here.

WW: Diving Trip in Lampung

Such a glorious sky! Diving trip in Lampung

Lampung has always been special for me and my family.

Not only that my hubby and I were born and raised here, but we also have our big family staying in this southern-most part of Sumatera Island.

I came here during weekend, enjoying the fast ferry service from Merak, the port in Jakarta/Serang, and new highway from Bakauheni, the port in Lampung, to Bandar Lampung, the capital city of Lampung.

It took around 6 hours, compared to the usual 8 - 9 hours before!

Really appreciate what my current President is doing to ensure connectivity among us all!

Diving Trip in Lampung

The diving trip took place in Batu Mandi and Pahawang Besar island, starting from 9 AM.
Leaving for the diving spot from Puri Gading Beach port, it took us around 2 hours to reach Batu Mandi.

Here are some photos during our diving trip in Lampung.
As for the underwater photos, they're coming!

Digital Parenting Workshop: Awas Bahaya Asal Klik Bikin Anak Terancam Diculik

Welcome to Mozilla 

Sabtu sore.

Aku tiba di Gedung Tifa pukul 13.59.

Satu menit menjelang dimulainya digital prenting workshop yang aku ingin hadiri.

Untungnya aku tiba di tempat yang benar, hanya tinggal jalan sedikit untuk tiba di anex suite, tempat  Mozilla Community Space, yang asli lucu, 'segar' dan warna-warni. 

And I was not late, yaaay. 

Saat aku tiba di ruangan, sudah ada beberapa teman - teman perempuan yang turut hadir.

Usai perkenalan singkat sambil menanti peserta workshop yang lain, aku pun bersiap untuk belajar bareng teman-teman untuk menjadi orang tua yang lebih baik di jaman digital ini.

Let's learn together!

Suasana seminar..

Awas bahaya asal klik, bikin anak terancam diculik.

Serem ya judulnya.

Kalau dibaca sekilas, mungkin kita akan berpikir bombastis banget.

Tapi sejak pertama melihat undangan acara ini yang disampaikan oleh Makpuh Mba Indah Juli di Whatspp Group Kumpulan Emak Blogger (KEB), aku sudah sangat tertarik untuk hadir mengingat pasti banyak hal penting dan menarik yang dishare dalam acara ini. 

Sebelumnya aku juga sempat hadir di seminar parenting di Tugasku, sekolah anakku yang sulung. Bahkan seminar ini fokus pada pendidikan seksual yang sesuai dengan usia anak-anak kita. Nanti aku share juga ya.

So back to Mozilla Community Space, the seminar I attended was held by Safenet, in collaboration with Mozilla and Indonesian Voice of Women.

Pembicara pertama adalah Mba Ajeng dari Indonesia Voice of Women (INVOW), yang setting up the tone of the dicussion. Bersama mba Ajeng, kita diskusi Panjang lebar tentang hoaks.

Maraknya informasi hoaks, baik yang berupa misinformasi, disinformasi dan malinformasi. 

Hmmm..apa bedanya ya kira-kira?

• Jadi, misinformasi itu adalah informasi atau berita yang salah, namun yang menyebarkannya percaya bahwa berita itu benar. --> mungkin ini yang paling sering terjadi ya, di mana kita tanpa sadar menyebarkan informasi yang salah atau tidak bias dipertanggungjawabkan.
• Sementara disinformasi adalah informasi atau berita yang salah, dan yang menyebarkannya juga tau bahwa informasi/berita tersebut salah.--> ini bisa terjadi bagi mereka yang misalnya suka mencari sensasi dengan menyebarkan berita atau informasi yang salah. Meskipun tau bahwa berita tersebut tidak benar, tapi karena dianggap bisa mendongkrak popularitas tetap disebarkan.
• Dan malinformasi adalah informasi yang didasarkan pada suatu kenyataan, namun digunakan untuk tujuan yang salah dan merugikan suatu pihak (bisa orang, organisasi atau negara. --> kalau yang ini, lebih pada mereka yang sengaja dan niat mengolah informasi dengan tujuan buruk atau  mendeskriditkan pihak-pihak tertentu. Asli kriminal banget!

Nah, serem kan!
Dan aku yakin banyak di sekitar kita bertebaran misinformasi, disinformasi, bahkan malinformasi. Ini yang membuat kita super bingung karena sudah tidak tau lagi mana yang benar. Di era information abundance seperti sekarang, rasanya kita semua harus benar-benar gunakan akal sehat, pengetahuan dan juga keyakinan dan keimanan kita untuk bisa mendapatkan dan mencerna informasi yang kita terima.

Mba Ajeng melanjutkan dengan beberapa trik untuk mengetahui hoaks. Here they are:

•  sumber yang tidak jelas
•  gaya bahasa yang berlebihan 
• peristiwa bombastis
• ada anjuran untuk 'viralkan' atau 'teruskan untuk orang terdekat anda'
• ada link berita namun setelah dicek ternyata link tersebut tidak benar
• ada kutipan yang seolah-olah berasal dari pemerintah, lembaga atau orang yang dianggap kompeten.

Nah, pasti sering kaaan menerima berita seperti di atas, terutama lewat WhatsApp group yang memang ngga ada matinya itu! Saat ini, jenis hoaks yang paling banyak diterima adalah hoaks mengenai sosial politik, isu SARA (sedihnya hiks), kesehatan maupun makanan dan minuman, serta penipuan dan iptek. Masih ada isu lain seperti berita duka, bencana alam, serta informasi lalu lintas yang juga banyak hoaksnya ternyata.

Kalau sudah begini, pilihan terbaik kita adalah CERDAS TANGGAPI BERITA.

Jangan sampai kita mudah termakan hoaks dan bahkan turut meyebarkannya.
Apalagi hoaks jelas-jelas banyak membawa dampak negatif yang bukan hanya berbahaya atau merugikan diri kita sendiri, tapi juga orang lain, lingkungan, dan bahkan negara.
Kalau aku pribadi, saat menerima informasi atau berita seperti ini, aku akan filter dan biarkan mengendap di hp jika tidak ada faedah atau nilai positifnya

Sudahkah Jejak Digitalmu Bersih?

Seminar dilanjutkan dengan presentasi mba Alin, yang bicara banyak mengenai jejak digital dan jejak digital bersih. 

Aku suka dengan analogi mba Alin bahwa jejak digital itu layaknya TATO. 
Once it's there, it will stay there. Bahkan saat kita sekuat tenaga mencoga menghapusnya, akan ada saja celah untuk retrieve data itu kembali.

Banyak informasi menarik yang dibahas saat kita bicara dan saling berbagi di sesi ini.

Termasuk betapa video yang sepintas terlihat lucu dan harmless, ternyata justru menjadi sasaran empuk para pedophilia. Kita diajak melihat secara jernih apa saja 'jebakan 'Batman' yang ada di dunia digital, yang tanpa kita sadari menjadi bagian kegiatan kita sehari-hari. 

Sebelum membagi sesuatu di dunia maya, kia harus pertimbangkan antara lain:

• perhatian yang akan didapat - misalnya menyebarkan foto anak lucu atau menunjukkan perkembangan anak memang akan cepat mendapat perhatian, tapi juga sangat beresiko (di-copy paste orang lain untuk tujuan tertentu, menjadi 'iklan bajakan' atau bahkan sasaran pedophilia.
• resiko kini  - ingat bahwa jejak digital jelas tunjukkan time stamp atau jejak waktu; tag location atau jejak lokasi yang bias dimanfaatkan oleh orang-orang yang punya itikad lain atau rencana jahat.
• reputasi masa depan - ini juga perlu dipikirkan, karena siapa tau kelak kita atau anak kita akan menjadi tokoh pada zamannya dan kalau punya informasi viral namun negative dan tersebar, pastinya akan membahayakan dan merugikan kita sendiri. Apalagi sekarang rekruitmen kerja pun mulai melirik profil kita di media social.

Lebih lanjut, Mba Citra dari INVOW melanjutkan presentasi tentang digital parenting.

Bagaimana menjadi orang tua yang sesesuai dengan jamannya dan bisa mengikuti segala dinamika dan perkembangan teknologi yang begitu pesat. 

Di sesi ini kita banyak curhat dan berbagai pengalaman, baik yang orang tua maupun yang single namun sering menjaga keponakan-keponakan kecilnya. Dan rata-rata tantangan yang dihadapi memang sama ya, antara lain bagaimana menjaga keseimbangan antara screen time dengan kegiatan lain yang lebih bermanfaat sampai menghindari kecanduan gadget yang akibatnya sangat fatal. 

Finally, Ibu Cakra berbagi tips dan tricks untuk bisa terus menjaga komunikasi dengan buah hati kita tercinta. Tips yang sepintas terlihat mudah dan sederhana, namun aku yakin penerapannya tidak segampang yang kita pikir.

Ada beberapa pesan penting yang aku garisbawahi dari hasil kita ngobrol dengan Ibu Cakra.

• Bicara dengan anak-anak kita! Jangan menyerah, sesulit apapun proses komunikasi yang harus kita hadapi.
• Bicara dari hati ke hati, buka jalur komunikasi dengan anak-anak.
• Tanamkan pentingnya dan mudahnya berkomunikasi dengan orang tua
• Tetap gunakan control! Anak-anak IS anak-anak.
• Tanamkan nilai-nilai kebaikan lewat beragam platform yang menjadi kesukaan anak-anak saat ini, baik lewat buku, film, video bahkan games.
• Jadi role model anak-anak - Walk the talk! 

You see..sepintas mudah ya, tapi aku sebagai orang tua dengan 2 anak yang salah satunya sudah memasuki usia remaja merasakan sekali tantangan ini. Makanya aku seneng bangeet bias ngobrol dengan para pakarnya dalam sesi ini.

Satu hal yang perlu kita ingat. 
Pastikan penggunaan internet sesuai dengan usia anak!
Saat ini banyak konten di internet yang sangat tidak patut dikonsumsi oleh anak-anak namun bisa dengan mudah diakses melalui sumber terbuka, seperti YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, bahkan Whatsapp Group sekalipun.

Dan ibu bapak sekalian, please, please, please...jangan jadikan gadget atau gawai sebagai pengganti orang tua atau pengasuh anak-anak kita!

Kuatkan anak-anak kita!
Digital parenting memang tidak mudah, but we can do it!

Bekali mereka dengan pengertian, penjelasan dan ilmu pengetahuan untuk memahami berbagai dinamika di dunia digital, termasuk bahaya yang mengintai mereka.
Selalu hati-hati dan jangan lengah.

Berbagai aplikasi, gawai, pengaturan keamanan dan pengawasan melekat orang tua pada dasarnya hanya 'membantu' dan jangan pernah lupa bahwa yang bisa mengontrol semua dampak negatif dunia digital adalah kita, kita, dan kita.

Terima kasih kepada SafeNET, Mozilla, dan juga Indonesian Voice of Women (INVOW) yang sudah banyak berbagi informasi penting ini. Sebenarnya masih banyak yang disampaikan dan nanti akan aku coba lengkapi di blog.

Semangat terus untuk bisa menikmati dunia digital yang sehat ya!
Bersama anak-anak dan keluarga tercinta!
