Tom Yum Goong ( Masak bareng Event)

This month Menu is Tom Yum soup, once more i participated this event called "Masak bareng" or cooking together, with the same menu, and same day we posted the food pictures. So far i always try to follow the event. The hosts are Indonesian women too, there are Deetha in Semarang- INA, Ayin in Norway and Shinta in Japan.

Sometimes we had difficulties finding the specific ingredients, because we live far away from our country, but we never give up, trying to make Indonesian food as authentic as possible, using the substitute and try to be creative :).

I used tom yum paste this time and bought the fresh marinara from fish shop.
