H1-B is approved!
This is long overdue because I've been too lazy to write one hehehehe.. Anyway, previously mentioned here, I am so grateful that finally I got my H1-B.. After praying for an H1B since 2007, at last God answered my prayer. Even though this year's applicants is way lesser than in 2007 or 2008, no matter what, His timing is always perfect. And God graciously give it to me this year. I will work for Deloitte starting on October 4, 2010. But before that, I'll be vacationing to Indonesia & Singapore for 1.5 months. What a life :P
Homemade Roti Boy
My friend introduced me to this kind of bread a while ago in Beijing. Well, the brand name is not roti boy in Beijing, but the shape, texture and taste is very similar to Indonesian Roti Boy's according to them. So curiously, I tried it, and I instantly fell in love with this bread. But, my friend said that Roti Boy is better than that. Of course, once I stepped my feet in Jakarta, I immediately asked for a taste of Roti Boy. And it's true! The taste is so awesome.. the fluffiness, the cute round shape, the coffee & butter taste, it blended so well..
Too bad there's no Roti Boy in the US.. until one day Yossi made it and posted the picture and the recipe on her blog. One sunny day, I decided to give it a try. It took a long time though since the dough needs to proof several times for a couple of hours. But the result is definitely worth it! My roti boy is not as chocolate in color because I didn't use any mocha/coffee/chocolate paste.. but still.. the taste and texture are satisfying :)
As soon as the bread came out fresh from the oven, Richard just get home. So he's so lucky to try freshly-baked roti boy....Yes, he liked it so much!! Yayy!! The butter melted right in your mouth, the coffee aroma.. yum yum!! The recipe yielded approximately 15 buns. There was no way we could finish it both (according to me & to reduce weight). So I asked richard whether I can give some of it to family & friends. He agreed right way.. I thought if he liked it so much, why doesn't he mind to give most of it to others? Confused for a while.. and asked him again.. "kok tumben boleh kasih orang2 padahal kamu suka banget sama rotinya?" then he said back: "Loh, i thought you are going to make it again tomorrow.." Hahahahahhahaa..
