Ketoprak

The etymology of the name ketoprak is actually closely
related to Javanese folk-drama. During the Great Depression in 1930 - 1931,
ketoprak viewership was dwindling. Djojosoekarno, a member of Javanese ketoprak
troupe "Langenhardjo" in Jakarta, started selling a dish made of tofu
mixed with bean sprouts and sweet soy sauce on stalls for extra income. Due to
his popularity as ketoprak performer, customers usually referred to him as
"Bang Ketoprak" (lit. "Mr. Ketoprak") and as time passes,
his specialty dish is known as ketoprak on itself. However, this story was
largely told orally and eventually forgotten.



As time went on, various modifications are added to the dish
including ketupat as substitute of rice and peanut sauce. In late 2000s, a
backronym for ketoprak went into popularity, derived from the acronym of its
ingredients and process; which are ket from ketupat, to from toge, and prak
from digeprak (Betawi for: "mashed" or "crushed"), which
describes the method on grounding garlic, chili pepper and peanut granules
together to create the peanut sauce.



Ketoprak is a typical street food. It was originally popular
around the Jakarta area but has spread throughout Java. The seller prepares the
ingredients at home and mixes them in front of the customers as they place
their orders. It is sold in individual portions from small stalls or carts
along the street. The cook usually asks the customer their preference on the
degree of spiciness: mild, medium, hot or extra hot. The spiciness corresponds
to the amount of chili used. The price range is about IDR 8.000 to 15.000
according to outlets and ingredients included. Sometimes, hard boiled egg might
be added.

Rendang

Rendang (/ˈrənd ɑ ːŋ/ REN-DUNG; Indonesian pronunciation: [rənˈdaŋ]) is a Minang dish originating from the Minangkabau region in West Sumatra, Indonesia. It has spread across Indonesian cuisine to the cuisines of neighbouring Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and the Philippines. Rendang is often described as a rich dish of meat — most commonly beef (rendang daging) — that has been slow cooked and braised in a coconut milk seasoned with a herb and spice mixture, until the liquids evaporate and the meat turns dark brown and tender, becoming caramelized and infused with rich flavours. As the signature dish of Minangkabau culture, rendang is traditionally served at ceremonial occasions to honour guests during festive events; such as wedding feasts and Lebaran or Hari Raya (Indonesian popular words for both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha). Rendang is also traditionally served among the Malay community in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, as well as the Mar...

Volleyball

 Do you know what is Volleyball ? Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules. It has been a part of the official program of the Summer Olympic Games since Tokyo 1964. Beach volleyball was introduced to the programme at the Atlanta 1996 Summer Olympics. The adapted version of volleyball at the Summer Paralympic Games is sitting volleyball. The complete set of rules is extensive, but play essentially proceeds as follows: a player on one of the teams begins a 'rally' by serving the ball (tossing or releasing it and then hitting it with a hand or arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over the net, and into the receiving team's court. The receiving team must not let the ball be grounded within their court. The team may touch the ball up to three times to return the ball to the other side of the court, but individual pl...
