Daftar Beberapa Negara yang Bebas Visa (For Indonesia Citizen, passport only)

Seneng banget rasanya kalo bisa traveling ke negara2 yang bebas visa, udah bebas fiskal (buat yang punya NPWP), ditambah banyaknya promo tiket pesawat yang menggiurkan (contoh: airasia, tiger airways, jetstar, dll). Banyak pengalaman orang yang ribet berurusan tentang visa terutama ke negara2 tertentu yang lumayan ketat urusannya. Udah cape-cape beli tiket, ehh.. ternyata angus gara2 visanya ditolak, wah.. klo udah gini sakit atiiii n gondok engga ada duanya. Emang kudu banyak trik and trik supaya bisa lolos, nanti deh bakal dibahas dilain waktu. Dan sekarang ni aku kasih negara2 yang bebas visa dan cuman kasi liat paspor kita aja, ada juga yang ngadain Visa on Arrival (VoA) sebenarnya bukan bebas murni karena kita tetap harus mengurus visa saat kedatangan di bandara tujuan dengan membayar sejumlah uang. VoA ini hanya berlaku untuk kunjungan singkat seperti untuk turis atau kunjungan sosial.

MINYAK AYAM

Makasi sebelumnya buat dapursolia atas tipsnya. Dah lama aq nyari2 gimana caranya bikin minyak ayam, klo ngeliatin tukang mie ayam ato nasi goreng suka bingung sendiri sama minyak yang selalu dirahasiakan. Eh, ternyata ini toh yang bisa bikin masakan jadi enak n lebih gurih.. Buat yang kolesterol tinggi... Hmm, mending jangan deh, udah minyak ditambah lemak lagi.. komplit deh penderitaan , tapi buat yang ga nahan, skali2 ga papa kali yaa :D

Bahan:

1000 ml Minyak sayur bening
250 gram Minyak/ lemak ayam
10 siung Bawang putih, digeprak (bukan dirajang ya)
1 ruas jari Jahe
1 sdt Lada utuh, digeprak (jangan diulek)
1 sdt Ketumbar utuh, digeprak
Alternatif: lada dan ketumbar bisa diganti dengan kemiri. Gunakan biji yang masih segar, yang akan berbau harum saat dimasak. Tidak bisa diganti dengan lada/ ketumbar bubuk karena yang berbentuk bubuk sudah tidak mengeluarkan minyak.

Cara membuat:

1) Tumis bawang putih dengan sedikit minyak hingga harum, lalu masukkan lemak/ kulit ayam. Tumis terus dengan api kecil hingga keluar minyak agak banyak.
2) Masukkan sisa minyak dan semua bahan lain. Masak hingga 15 menit dengan api kecil.
3) Gunakan untuk menumis/ membuat mie pangsit. Sisa minyak didinginkan, disaring, lalu disimpan di wadah yang bersih, kering dan tertutup.
4) Jangan mengoplos minyak ayam yang sudah jadi dengan minyak sayur.

I post it for CS-ers especially for randall aries who requested indonesian food. There is an Indonesian peanut sauce, which is served over a kind of vegetable salad, called gado gado. Dont worry for all vegetarian people, u still can eat it. You can use chopped peanuts or peanut butter. You can make it thin with water or thick and creamy with coconut milk. I even know some peanut butter-haters who love peanut sauce, that's how good it is.

Peanut Sauce:

• 100 ml water
• salt (its up to you)
• ready-to-use fried shallots (garnish)

Vegetables (if u cant find any of these, u can change it with your favourite veggie):

• Boiled Carrots, sliced into finger lengths, steam or boil

• Beans prouts, blanch for 10 seconds
• Boiled Long beans, sliced 5cm lengths and boil
• Cucumbers, sliced into finger lengths

Methods:
Peanut sauce:

1. Blend the chillies, garlic, shallots with the water in a food processor or blender until smooth
2. Heat the oil and saute the blended ingridients until fragrant
3. Add the water, peanuts, sugar, salt, and bring to the boil
