Mr.Dentist Chef with Chef Ketut Sumerata

Mr. Dentist Chef luckily can attend the Balinese-Lomboknese cuisine and here what i spot on; well this is actually not the first time i had Chef Ketut Sumerata’s dish, i’m pretty much known what i’m gonna had; a tasty Balinese meals!

The Appetizer

Balung Mekuah is Balinese  beef ribs soup similiar to pindang tulang from Palembang. Balung means ribs and mekuah means soup, so it’s literrary translated as rbs soup; despite it’s spicy looks, it’s actually very light and i guess this just perfect to tickling the taste buds as apptizer, slurrpingly delicious!!!

I really lovin it, hence i photogrpah it over and over; people used to served balung mekuah with rice but i felt comfort to digging it on it’s own.

 Serombotan, Balinese salad similiar to Urab with nice tangy kaffir lime dressing and some Balinese base genep or yellow basis seasoning made of turmeric and other spices.

 Serombotan is actually a compliment of Balinese Mix rice but feel free to enjoying it as appetizer.

The Carbs;

Nasi Goreng Bali, one Balinese delicacy fried rice with  mild spicy taste, it’s flavoursull and really comforting for my Indonesian licking.

Mie Kober Denpasar, a very hot and spicy stir fried noodle with bird eye chili sambal. This is the really spicy, i’m Indonesian and it’s embarrasing that i can’t barely stand it, but my lady partner really enjoying it.

Main Course :

Bebek Betutu is a Balinese dish of  roasted  duck on Balinese spices. What i really adore about Chef ketut Sumerata is how he used to use local duck instead of imported peking duck for this bebek betutu. Local breed duck gotta threat carefully to turn it into this delicacy and i really appreciate the effort he made this far.

The bebek betutu is definitely tender because it’s slowly roasted for several hours until the meat it’s fallen off the bone! All the spices penetratedd into the duck meat and made it lovely even more.

This is Mr. Dentist Chef Nasi Campur Bali !

Tum Ayam, a Spicy chicken with yellow-reddish spices, very tender and moist with nice light seasoning. You can served the steamed chicken in banana leaves with some sambal but i’m fine wothout the sambal.

Brengkes Ikan, a  spicy spanish mackerel fish fillet with yellowish turmerik and sand ginger spice, very nice!

Sate Ayam plecing, a bamboo skewered chicken breast dressed with spicy chili sambal. I really enjoy  the tangy sambal plecing with nice hint of of tiny local kaffir limes flavour on it.

Salmon mekuah, a spicy and sour salmon head soup. i really enjoying this because it’s similiar to Palembangnese pindang ikan, but the sour agent was bilimbi fruit instead of tamarind or cherry tomato.

 Kangkung plecing, plecing is Balinese translation of chili sambal and kangkung is actually water spinach or morning glory vegetables. I guess this is the most consumed veggies among indonesia, this plecing kangkung is just lovely; despite it’s vivid red color it’s actually not that hot and spicy thou.

Ayam pelalahAyam Pelalah, a shredded chicken salad made of steamed chicken breast with nice kicking red shallots dressin

Opor ayam is a white curry chicken , i thought opor was from Central Java and nver known that opor ayam is also a part of Balinese cuisine.

 

 For those who doesn’t like spicy food maybe this opor ayam is your sanctuary and comforting food, lol.

 

Ayam Taliwang, grilled ichicken with Spicy Lomboknese spices. I can’t stand the ammount of peper the chef using in this dish.

Ayam Mekalas, Shredded grilled chicken with curry like yellowish cucunut seasoning. Lovin the smokey flavour on it; it’s also moist because the chicken is cooked with the coconut seasoning right after it’s grilled and shredded.

Daging bumbu bali, a Balinese spicy stewed beef using generous amount of chili on it. The chef using beef shank for this daging bumbu bali, cooked slowly untl the sinew and tough connective tissue turn into transparant gelatine and tender, scrumptious dish!!!

The Dessert!

Pisang Rai, a muct have dessert on Balinese restaurant; nice and sweet plantain wrapped in rice flour and then rolled in dessicated coconut flesh and then steamed. lovely!!!

Bubur injin,  swetened black glutious rice porridge that served with savoury boiled coconut milk. the colaboration of sweet and goey black glutinous rice with salty and creamy coconut milk is definitely damn delicious!!!

Recipe Lobster Rendang Indonesian Spicy Curry

Lobster Rendang Curry Recipe. Spinny lobster or tropical rock lobster pan grilled with spicy rendang sauce. Rendang or mostly known as rendang daging or beef rendang is typically Indonesian spicy beef curry that cooked slowly with constant gentle stirring for several hours until the spices got dark brown color when it well caramelized. Dentist Chef had ever post the Ultimate Beef Rendang Step by Step Recipe  if you want to test the damn delicious CNN NO. 1 World’s 50 Most Delicious Foods’ list.

Lobster with the spicy rendang curry sauce, i want made it right so it simply means i need to made the spicy rendang sauce and the coconut cream caramelized and browned before the lobster tail meat overcooked and turned into unedible dried and tough.

Before we takling about rendang, i should acknowledge you that In Minangkabau culinary tradition, there are stages of Rendang spice doness. Rendang doness category is according to the liquid content in cooked coconut milk, ranges from the soupy most wet to the most dry: Gulai — Kalio — Rendang. The  spices ingredients of gulai, kalio and rendang is almost identical with the exceptions that gulai usually uses less red chilli pepper and got more turmeric, while rendang uses more varieties of  spices.

When you making rendang and you stop to cooked it right when the meat is done and the coconut milk has reached its boiling point, you have gulai. If the process continues well until the coconut milk is partly evaporated with brownish colored meats, then you have kalio. When the process continued hours more until the liquid completely evaporated and the color turns to dark brown almost black in color, then you have rendang. According to this notions, the real rendang is those with less liquid contents.

The colors also indicate of rendang spices doness; rendang is dark brown while gulai have light yellow color and  kalio is brown, and  However, today there are two kinds of rendangs commonly found: dried and wet. Dentist Chef Beef Rendang  show the step by step pictorial of Indonesian rendang doness.

Making rendang lobster is kinda tricky; you need to USE THE HIGEST HEAT of your stove to fasten the caramelisation of the rendang curry sauce, USING NON STICKY SHALLOW & WIDE GRILLING PAN also made the evaporation of the liquid even better, using non sticky pan also help prevent the rendang spices sticked in the bottom and burned out because you using very high heat while cooking it. USING THICK COCONUT CREAM instead of thin coconut milk it’s a must if you want to make lobster rendang curry because too much liquid on the coconut milk made it boil instead of “fried” the spices and the spices need more time to caramelized, in the other hand the liquid vapour steam the lobster meat insde and made it tent to be overcooked even more. If you attemp to made prawn rendang, shrimp rendang or other seafood rendang this tips is also applied!

Now, let’s we begin to make LOBSTER RENDANG CURRY!!!

First  you need to cut the lobster into  two equal pieces and seasoned it with, lime juice, salt and white peppercorn.  Heat up some oli in the shallow & wide grilling pan then sear the meat side down until it slighly chareed in the outside. Hear the nice sizzling sound of it when you sear the lobster meat.

Turn the lobster meat side up and then sear the shell side down for another 1 minutes. You should need a sizzling sound  and you know you’re doing it right!

Pour the rendang curry spices, oven the lobster, basting the lobster with it then let the spices sauteed with the oil and completely evaporated with nice sizzling sound. Keep stirring the spices to let it cooked evenly.

Turn down the heat a little bit then pour the heavy coconut cream to the lobster and rendang spices. Keep stirred the rendang spices to let it distributed evenly and let the water evaporates even better. You will see the coconut cream made the rendang spices had whitish creamy color

The lobster rendang sauce color now slowly turned out darker when the coconut cream renderred into coconut oil and “fried” the spices once it evaporated. This process is the key of success of lobster rendang, when you see the cream rendered into oil, you need to turn the heat into medium unless you burned out the spices. Keep stirring and distributes the rendang sauce into the lobster meat and stop the cooking process once your lobster meat is perfectly cooked. Making lobster rendang is much more quickl only take about 15-20 minutes for medium size lobster (350-500grams) compare to beef rendang that takes 4 hours.
