Hello, I LOVE YOUR WORKS :''') Do you have any plan to bring up characters from south-east asia? I'm Indonesian and I'm dying to see someone from my region :) thanks a lot and have a nice day!

I’ve covered a couple Indonesian folk! First off, you know that the main website has a Google Map, yes?

So the folk I’ve done – there’s Mahendradatta, the source of the Rangda myths, whose story is right here:

In my first book, I cover the first female navy admiral of modern times, Keumalahayati:

And in my second book, I cover Acehnese freedom fighter Cut Nyak Dhien:

Indonesian Chicken Satay and Khmer Stuffed Chicken Legs (sach moin bop)

It’s not often my mom and I collaborate in the kitchen. We usually butt heads. I did the skewers and she did the stuffed chicken but we helped each other. I wished I had written down how much of what I put in the marinade. I used a seasoning mix meant for roasting chicken. It smelled like curry. Lol. I mixed it with soy sauce and sweetened condensed milk (supposed to help moisten chicken breast and also sweeten it - yogurt would be great too). I forgot about coconut milk! These Indonesian skewers are similar to Cambodian lemongrass skewers (I love the ones w/ shredded coconut - so good when grilled!) but has a curry aroma, which is an influence from India. I served the skewers w/ peanut sauce. For the chicken legs, my mom removed the bones and meat from the skin. She grounded the meat w/ chicken breast and mixed it w/ seasonings and aromatic herbs. Then she stuffed the skin w/ the mixture. The skin becomes crispy when cooked and the stuffed meat steams inside, giving it a moist texture. So good!

Orangutans are named not for the color, orange. Their name comes from the Indonesian and Malay words “orang” meaning “person” and “hutan” meaning “forest.” Orangutans are forest people! The term was originally used for human beings who lived in the forest, but was given to the ape by a Dutch physician and naturalist who put it in his book in 1631.
